    Which is a shame. Was nice to have the functionality directly into the forums. Hopefully they revert that change, as everyone just going back to an external roller kind of defeats the purpose.

    Quick mythos phase to see if the doom beats you.

    Green card, Omen, monster surge, clue spawn.

    Omen- Blue constellation. No doom.
    Monster surge- No monsters drawn that immediately inflict 2 doom

    Effect- Investigators cannot perform rest actions next turn.

    4/4 tokens reached for the final mystery.

    Hope it gave first time players an idea for the game.

    BUT...usually games aren't quite this easy. Although it officially supports 8 players, I feel like it doesn't quite work past 5. The scaling is kind of wonky (2 players deal with one gate spawn at a time while 8 players get two; four times the players but only double the gates) and there definitely aren't enough cards in the base game to smoothly play with 8. I'm sure you all noticed the many repeats of encounters. It got kind of crazy at the end since you had pretty much every item in the asset deck and silver twilight ritual was coming up nearly every turn. The only chance poor Azzy had was lucking on on the worst possible mythos card for the investigators last turn.

    And remember that Azathoth is the most vanilla ancient one. Shub-Niggarath has a cool theme of monsters overrunning the world, and Cthulhu makes you really feel the waves of insanity sweeping the globe.
