3+ With Dunwich?

[CEOWolf 46]

I'm not going to buy Dunwich till after I buy this other game but after that I wanna get it. Do you think I can effectively have a 3/4 player game with Dun?

Assuming you're asking if Dunwich gives you enough of a card pool for 3-4 players if you only have one core set?

Almost is probably the best answer. Dunwich only gives 3-4 new cards per class at level 0, which doesn't quite make up for the singletons you're stuck with from the solo core set for most of your card choices. Team Dunwich investigators, on the other hand, allow you to specialize in one class very strongly, which might ease your card constraints if people are largely picking Dunwich investigators.

People have shown some math that if you have 1 core and 1 Dunwich Legacy you can play with 3 players.  2 of them have to be from the core set and don't overlap (like Roland and Wendy), and the 3rd player has to be the Dunwich Legacy character that uses the 5th class (Jim Culver, in this example).  You'd have very limited options in what cards each character uses, but you could make it playable, and as you buy more packs it'll become better.  You could also do it as 3 Dunwich Legacy characters, but it would still be very tight.

You don't have enough for 4 players, but after 2-3 packs, you should be able to make it work, again, taking every single card available to you.

Is there somewhere with those decklists?  I just bought the game. 

I'd love to be able to introduce it to the group to convince someone else to get a core set as well, but I'd have to make it a playable experience for them.  I don't mind buying Dunwich if it makes this possible.

The starter decks for those characters (with the exception of Jim) should be fine for a teaching game. Jim can take any 5 cards to round out his deck so he'll have pick of the scraps at the end.

I managed to do it with just the Legacy chars 3 guys Jim Ash and Rex seems to do well (sure I added cards from Miskatonic but I think it be okay if not)

The core set gives you 10 cards of each class and 22 neutrals. Dunwich gives you 6 cards of each class and 2 neutrals. There are 24 neutral cards. Each Dunwich investigator needs at least 9 (to add to their 16 in-class cards and 5 out-of-class cards). So you can't make 3 decks with only Dunwich investigators. On the other hand, core investigators now have 32 non-neutral cards available each, so they don't need any neutral ones. 1 core investigator could take up to 6 neutral cards (leaving 18, 9 for each Dunwich investigator); 2 core investigators could take up to 15 neutral cards between them (leaving 9 for the Dunwich investigator).
