Stories of Somewhere Else
Приєднався 13 лип 2022
Welcome to the archives! I'm your host, ElseWhere, and I'm joined by my fellow members of Strength in Numbers, a group of board game enthusiasts who met in college and have been playing together ever since. Here you'll find our entire history of VODs from my Twitch channel, twitch.tv/some_where_else, ranging from board games to video games to film analysis to art. We hope you enjoy your stay, and that you'll consider donating to our yearly Extra Life campaign for all the sick kids undergoing treatment at Children's Miracle Network Hospitals across the country!
Publish or Perish – E5b: The Silent Heath
The survey team tries to shake off a lingering feeling of deja vu as the third day dawns bright and clear over Hemlock Isle. Wendy is shattered, her faith and family in ruins, but we can't stop to comfort her. The rest of the team knows that they haven't got much time if they hope to stop Mother Rachel's apocalypse, so they set out towards the place where it all began...to the crash site of the meteor that first unleashed the Color, and the place where it claimed its first victims...
...to the silent heath. Can they learn how to stop the unstoppable before it's too late?

Great run and an awesome choise for the scenario! I have played a ton of chaos decks on my Eye of Chaos series, so it was nice to see others play with the Ultimatum of Chaos! Makes for some funny situations with the random cards that end up in your deck :D
Thanks!! I'm really glad that the ultimatums codified Chaos, I've always found it really interesting when others play with it but I haven't given it a go myself until now. It's not something I'd be bold enough to run nearly as regularly as you have, admittedly, but it can produce some really intriguing (and hilarious) thematic results!
So excited for False Surrender with absurdly large weapons in game
If you'd like to hear even more of my thoughts on these new cards in text form, check out our blog here: strengthinnumbersarkham.wordpress.com/2023/11/05/the-power-of-parley-hemlock-vale-card-preview/ Thank you so much for tuning in, and HAPPY SPOILER SEASON EVERYONE!

What country are you from
The members of the Strength in Numbers team actually hail from all over the world! We met in college but have since dispersed again.
Its really laggy!!!!!!!
Its really laggy
Yeah, sorry about that! My streaming setup struggles with Minecraft a lot more than Tabletop Simulator-maybe some day I'll be able to afford tech that bears more similarities to a computer than to a potato.
𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕠𝕤𝕞 🤔
This was amazing 😂
Excellent video, I laughed and was amazed by the coordination of the dialogue jajaja
you guys better not ruin it for the rest of us with your public useage of a certain unofficial platform for the game we all love - FFG has been great so far, but let's not push it!
Amazing video.
Thank you so much!! Your channel is such an inspiration to us, and we were so honored to receive a shout-out in your spoiler recap!

New card hype!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Wendy Adams has been aged up to her early 20s for this campaign, equivalent in age to her love interest Amanda. As mentioned in the beginning of the stream, this is the first stream we saved as a VOD, so the prologue and episodes 1-4 of this series will be summarized below: Prologue Part 1, Extracurricular Activities - in which Amanda, an undergraduate student at Miskatonic University who suffers from severe anxiety, and Carolyn Fern, her therapist and (due to Amanda's aloof parents) substitute mother figure, are walking across MU's campus when a band of cultists attack the school. While Carolyn attempts to protect the students, Amanda discovers that she has a powerful sixth sense for magic and uses it to pursue the leader of the cultists. She catches and stuns the warlock, but not before he has completed casting a powerful Beast Within curse on a student named Tiffany Bell, who mutates into a terrifying reptilian monster. Tiffany rampages across campus and into the city, with Amanda in hot pursuit. Meanwhile, Carolyn has begun drinking heavily from her flask, which suppresses her rational logic and releases an incredibly powerful sorcerous talent she normally locks away. Using this magic she creates blades of light and fire and slaughters the monsters summoned by the cultists before guiding the students to safety. Prologue Part 2, Curse of the Rougarou - in which Amanda chases monster-Tiffany through Rivertown and across the freezing-cold Miskatonic River. Along the way she gathers a number of tools that she then uses to set a trap on the Unvisited Isle, catching Tiffany and holding her in place long enough for Amanda's sixth sense to give her insights into the curse. Using a smooth stone she found atop a cairn, which she has discovered is pleasing and soothes her anxiety, she focuses some of the magic in the air around them and shares in the curse. As a result, both she and Tiffany must divide their time between humanity and their Beast Within, which for Amanda takes the shape of a bipedal lupine hybrid. Amanda knocks on Carolyn's door soaking wet and injured, and Carolyn begins teaching her about leading a double life and how to control her new abilities. Episode 1, Curtain Call - in which Amanda and Wendy, a homeless and kleptomaniac young woman with an affinity for secrets and mechanisms, go on a date to the Ward Theatre's production of The King in Yellow. Also in attendance are: Carolyn, who attended against Amanda's wishes in case the date goes poorly; Carolyn's friend with benefits, a hitchhiking actor named Pete; and Pete's dog Duke, who is secretly the smarter of the two. At intermission the group discovers most of the audience has died mysteriously, and are forced to flee and gather other survivors (including Tiffany, Carolyn's graduate assistant Peter Sylvestre, and an actor Wendy knows named Henry Wan) as the theater burns down and a terrifying masked Stranger pursues them with a wave of rats. When the Stranger menaces Amanda, Wendy kills him with a thrown knife and Henry saves her from the collapsing roof at the cost of his own life. Episode 2, The Last King - in which a stunned Amanda and Wendy attempt to make up for their failed date by going to a party they saw a flyer for outside the theater. Carolyn is becoming increasingly drunk as the night wears on, releasing her magic and making her increasingly aware of a malign intelligence watching them and influencing events. The group gets dressed up and attends what they immediately discover is the cast party for the King in Yellow. The situation devolves as the cast and crew transform one by one into horrific monsters and the apparently-still-alive Stranger returns. When they are surrounded, Amanda is forced to transform (revealing her lycanthropy to Pete and Wendy) and use her wolf abilities to fight, but in the process accidentally injures Wendy. Carolyn heals her with magic but Amanda is horrified and forcibly represses her transformation. Now outmatched physically, the group has no choice but to escape into the city. Episode 3, Echoes of the Past - in which at Carolyn's suggestion Amanda and Wendy take a third shot at their date, this time at a quiet Arkham museum in the Historical Society. They break into the building only to discover that someone else has already beaten them there, and a group of cultists are ransacking the place. At first Amanda refuses to fight and struggles to interact with her date, until Wendy explains that she thinks the werewolf transformation is incredibly cool, and accidentally refers to Amanda as her girlfriend. With renewed confidence, Amanda transforms and the power couple defeats the cultists together. The group finds their way into the Historical Society's secret inner sanctum, where Amanda and Wendy finally have a peaceful museum date reading books and looking at artifacts of Arkham's history (although Wendy can't help but pocket a strange pendant they find there). Meanwhile, Carolyn locates the records of Arkham's previous production of The King in Yellow, which she reads with growing terror. Episode 4, The Unspeakable Oath - some days later, at Carolyn's urging, the group pays a visit to her former place of work, Arkham Asylum. She has not been here since her failed psychological evaluation and disgrace for alcoholism. It is revealed that among her former patients were Daniel Chesterfield, the only survivor of the previous performance of the King in Yellow, and Wendy's own mother. But the orderlies are behaving strangely, and the group is betrayed and imprisoned in the asylum. They quickly discover that the asylum has become a horrible torture chamber and a strange madness is sweeping through the staff, but with the assistance of many of the patients they sneak through the asylum and locate Daniel, discovering in the process that Wendy's mother escaped some time ago. In order to escape, they coordinate a riot with the help of the patients that overwhelms the orderlies and enables them to flee over the asylum walls.
