The Drowned City: NPCs Having previously put together a look at the lore of the investigators in “The Drowned City” LCG release, and reviewed the associated novels, The Forbidden Dreams of Lucius Galloway, The Nightmare …

Thank you to @sasidor.bsky.social, @timpratt.org & @aconytebooks.bsky.social for their work in crafting the referenced adventures.

A great talk with the author of @aconytebooks.bsky.social's newest Arkham Horror release, The Arcane Gamble of Harvey Walters, which releases today. A worthy addition to @fantasyflightgames.bsky.social's #WeekOfArkhamHorror

The Investigators of the “Night of the Zealot” Many players, myself included, entered the Arkham Files IP via the LCG’s release in 2016 and the starter set’s “Night of the Zealot” campaign. Based on the response I have received regarding my lor…

Don't be too discouraged. Attempting true solo w just the core box version of "Skids" is a big ask.

You may find more true solo success with Roland or Wendy. If you're interested in the lore of the setting I wrote this up for the core box investigators...

You're probably thinking "fire", this is the wrong solution.

+1 horror DMG for drinking...cks recipe...squid ink and milk???

Lots of fun to be had this week, however the lack of mention in the article strikes me as confirmation that Dreams of Kingsport is being delayed until November.

A review of “The Arcane Gamble of Harvey Walters” Written by Rosemary Jones with cover art by Martin M Barbdu and published by Aconyte Books. Thank you to Aconyte Publishing for providing me with a preview copy of this release to review. Per Acony…

Thank you very much for that honor Ms. Jones, and congrats again on providing such a worthwhile tale about everyone's favorite Arkham retiree.

Happy "Week of Horror" everyone!

There is a Shoggoth's worth Arkham Files content dropping this week, but my week started with the delivery of @rosemaryjones.bsky.social's newest book on my door step. It's an awesome read, my review is below, but boy howdy was it cool to see my "name" in print.

This is what Harry Callum would have worked with at the Palace Movie Theater, Arkham's first dedicated movie theater. Harry blames the flickering otherworldly images that sometimes appear on screen on the projector's technical difficulties, but tall, dark and nickel-trimmed looks flawless in person.

If this is your first go at Arkham I genuinely recommend moving on to scenario 3. Getting a perfect resolution in scenario 2 is a tall order and regardless of how you wrap it up, it has meaningful impacts on the final scenario.

Resignation is the right call :)

Twas a good day

10/25th-26th/1926: The Hour of the Huntress takes place. This is in dispute as the story says it is happening on the night of a new moon which, in 1926, would happen on the 5th and 6th.

Regardless Jenny Barnes has a rough day and makes new friends.

It's at my store in the US, need it shipped? Hit me up and we'll figure it out.

I love me some ######! Watching these pros try to explain the unexplainable was great.

How we all doin’? Are we feeling this yet?

10/22/1926: The first annual Arkham Harvest Festival begins. Activities associated with this festival directly result in the disappearance of Isabel Barnes and lead to @cullenbunn.bsky.social's Terror At The End Of Time comic series.

Board game creator CMON sells Cthulhu: Death May Die, one of its biggest brands, in the wake of $7 million losses Between Cthulhu: Death May Die and Zombicide, CMON has now sold its most famous board games in response to its dramatic revenue losses.

I aged out of chasing KS a few years back but I know that people look at this for some great minis, as that is what CMON did. What I don't know is if this purchase is a good fit for the Arkham Files universe.

The rest of my thoughts on this release can be found here. Spoilers, my quote wasn't taken out of context, this is a great read.

10/16/1925 – The Arkham Advertiser published an article about the explosion of Pine Beach that killed Oliver Haldane and the New England Virtuosi orchestra.

That explosion's investigation directly resulted in Roland Banks first arriving in Arkham.
