I started watching your channel nearly a decade ago to help me decompress before bed and I found not only a love of board gaming (I even back on kickstarter now 😂), but I found my partner through our shared love of board gaming. I always look forward to your next video (no matter how long it takes 😂) and I want to say thank you because you don't know me and I don't know you, but your love of board gaming had this weird amazing effect on my life that I will cherish. Also, I wonder if you ever played the solo series Final Girl? A reworked Hostage Negotiator with resource management and a little die manipulation thrown in as you try to take down a killer while saving victims.
I love that games can bring strangers together. That is a kind of magic in my book. I, too, doze off to the sound to game play throughs. lol I had Hostage Negotiator but passed it on because I didn't like the theme. I have heard that Final Girl is a much better game. I may have to add it to my wish list!!
Pretty sure you always get 1 dice even if modifiers take you to 0. And I think you're combining Physical Immunity and Resistance. Resistance is what you described with Joe and the shotgun with the double damage total required if you use physical items. Immunity means you can't even use any physical items to attack it, which means Joe can't fight it right now as he has no spells. And the fact that you really can't be in the streets means fighting them is going to be tough. Not sure if turning off the overhead autofocus would help or hurt, but it isn't a fan of the game for whatever reason. The other camera seems to be doing just fine so it's probably the distance. Now, someone give poor Mary some clues so she can seal the gate.
What you say about number of dice rolled is true for Eldritch horror, but not for Arkham Horror 2nd Edition. Albeit even if the number is zero or negative you can still spend clues to get a roll.
Physical Immunity only nullifies Physical weapons. You can always roll your fight stat. Physical Resistance would halve the bonus from a Physical Weapon, but your Base Fight stat would remain unchanged and could still be used. Also the +1 Skill cards always apply, it's not just a bonus when you use a clue. It's great to see more Arkham Horror 2nd edition content out there, Keep it up!
Good point! I always think that the basic fight stat is physical since I envision the investigator walking up and bopping the monster on the nose. But, as you note, the immunity/resistance only applies to the bonus added by weapons and spells. Ah Arkham Horror, so many little rules. Who doesn't love it?!?!
@@SoloMcLaughlin I know what you mean, I try to think of the Basic Fight as like an improvisational fight rating. How the character uses the environment to their advantage. Think like the Mom in Gremlins fighting them in the kitchen, by shutting them in microwaves, and turning on food processors, or any Jackie Chan fight scene. Like maybe Joe trapped the Formless Spawn in a box (using a stick with some string tied to it, and cat food as bait), then locked the box and threw it off the docks into the Miskatonic River. No physical attack required, and the monster is dealt with!

poor Sister Mary. She risked it for the biscuit and those biscuits turned out to be hard and moldy. lol
She is definitely on her own little side quest this game!

Yes! You can always spend a clue to get a die even if the modifiers take you to 0. I will make sure I clarify that next time. Thanks for reminder!
