Guillermo del Toros Cabinet of Curiosities. At the end of WWII, a ragtag group of resistance fighters plans an impossible heist: to steal Mussolini’s treasure from Milan’s fascist headquarters.

Four young soccer superfans team up to help their idols regain their abilities after a scheming evil scientist steals their talent. Little brain: Call of Cthulhu, the video game.īigger brain: Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit) I'm seeking an immersive, narrative-rich adventure game that works well solo. If you are genuinely interested in the world and lore, your awesomeness levels are as follows: the future is looking as bright as the miscolored washed-out components fans will be seeing over the next few years. With FFG being bought by the even worse company, Asmodee. ![]() You're meant to run out of stuff to do and need to buy more stuff to continue. Some genuinely cool and inspired ideas like spells and status effects flipping only when they are activated, but a lot of garbage, clumsiness, and work for little reason and poor payoff for effort.Īrkham 3e is more mechanical, but has been FFG'd into a system designed to sell a lot of pieces separately to the point the core isn't sustainable on its own.

Sitting on one space for 6 consecutive turns while you alternative good roll/bad roll just isn't fun. They nearly always require a Lore and Will test, both to be passed. Other World Encounters in EH (to close gates) are frustrating as fuck. As each scenario uses the same generic monster pile, even cultists (which are mission specific) are rare.

The sort of person who enjoys Lovecraftâs verbiage is likely to appreciate the cyclopean, multifarious stacks of cards in an Eldritch or Arkham Horror. The Interloper is found at the bottom of the Lucky Hole Mine and (at least at first) doesn't have any direct connections to Dunwich Borers. In Fallout 76, players can locate a massive slumbering entity known as The Interloper, which is being worshiped by the Cult of the Mothman.
