I really love the Core Set of the AH LCG! Now I want to dig deeper without ending up poor. What are my options?
Good thing: I‘m just a casual gamer. I could get it to the table probably once a week max for an hour or two. That‘s why i can squeeze months of fun out of a set.
But how do I proceed in 2023? There are mythos packs, scenarios, campaigns, cycles, deluxe editions, return to editions…?!
It get‘s more complicated: I‘m from Germany and want to play the sets, that are released here in german.
What I already own:
- 1st edition core set <— only box I played yet
- 1st edition Dunwich set
- 1st edition Carcosa set (someone sold these 3 for 25€)
My questions:
- I don‘t own any mythos packs or anything else. So Dunwich and Carcosa are incomplete, right? Should I sell them? Because:
- Tracking down „old“ (German!) mythos packs to complete the sets I own could end up very expensive and difficult, right?
- The return to-editions are cheap here, but it doesn‘t make sense to play them, if I don‘t own the standard cycles, right?
- The „new“ campaign/investigator expansions are probably the easiest way to get another set, but they are kind of expensive (~50€ each). Still cheaper then buying every single mythos pack (15-25€ each), right?
Yes, most of the time I play alone, 2p max. Is this game fun with more players? At the moment I don’t have a player group that would like such a long game, unfortunately.
Sigh, 50€ for an expansion is a lot of money, even if it’s cheaper than buying the mythos packs. But maybe I just budget and buy them a few month apart to save money.
Thank you for your ideas, I already live this community.
(Btw, I can’t see my own posts, and even this instance doesn’t show up in my descriptions, shit, even when I search for this community and find it, it doesn’t show my own posts. This fediverse stuff still feels a bit confusing to me…)
