Sep. 26th, 2022 10:24 amI have been on vacation this past weekend, which has been great. I have done nothing but knit (all my Christmas knitting is now finished!) and play the Arkham Horror card game. Every time I spend serious time with this game I am torn between wishing I had some sort of dedicated game space, so that it would be more convenient to play more frequently, and being glad that I don't, so that I don't spend all my money on it.
I played through the end of the Dunwich Legacy campaign this weekend, which was great. (I did realize halfway through the finale session that I'd accidentally been cheating really egregiously throughout that module. Cheating in solo games is only important insofar as it impacts my own enjoyment, so I just kept going, but I do feel it puts an asterisk on the end of the campaign.) I'm not actually good at the game - I find deckbuilding kind of mystifying so my strategy is always "oh hey, that card looks cool!" - but the game kindly provides several levels of difficulty, so I just play on easy mode and it works out. I immediately want to play the campaign again and make other choices this time. I also want to buy the Path to Carcosa campaign but I am trying to restrain myself.
Because I was playing a Dunwich-based game, I relistened to the Dark Adventure Radio Theater production of The Dunwich Horror while knitting yesterday. And now I'm going to have to revisit my whole DART collection and have feelings about fishpeople again. The Lovecraft Film festival is next week, so at least my timing is pretty good.
