[Arkham Horror] The Lullaby of Yog-Sothoth: Monster Mashup
Props to mi-go hunter for the OP, saves me a lot of effort
The year is 1926, and it is the height of the Roaring
Twenties. Flappers dance till dawn in smoke-filled
speakeasies drinking alcohol supplied by rum runners
and the mob. It’s a celebration to end all celebrations in
the aftermath of the War to end all Wars.
Yet a dark shadow grows in the city of Arkham. Alien
entities known as Ancient Ones lurk in the emptiness
beyond space and time, writhing at the gates between
worlds. These gates have begun to open and must be
closed before the Ancient Ones make our world their
ruined dominion.
Only a handful of investigators stand against the
Arkham Horror. Will they prevail?

Ooo, looks like I should maybe make my guy sneaky. But I need movement points to use my stuff. Curses!
You only need movement points a couple of times. Burn through those items before the board is clogged with monsters and then turn up your sneakiness. Golden.
Ashcan can, if I remember right, get pretty damn sneaky, too. If you hover your sneak at around four (counting your skill bonus) you'll sneak past most stuff, and you can turn it up as needed.
Also, @Nullzone -- delighted to play. Not sure if that really came through in my other post.

Harvey would be my guess, Jdark. We need a mage-o-mancer
2 Elder signs? Yoinks! I think I'll hand one off to whomever else wants to dive through one of the first gates and keep t'other to get a gate trophy of my very own.

No prob! Figured it was a better solution than mi-go getting piled up with a huge waitlist.
We'll probably get started tomorrow. Gonna give other players a bit longer to catch wind of their options, and then offer seats to reserves beyond that this evening.
