(Part 2) Top products from r/arkhamhorrorlcg

Are you looking for something efficient or something pretty ?

I use those flip mat for d&d, like this https://www.amazon.com/Chessex-Role-Playing-Play-Mat/dp/B0015IQO2O (I also like this one because the hex side is easier on the eyes imo)

They're not especially good eye candy, but they're enough for the whole game area (without players, but it helps set up a visual delimitation imo), they're not too expensive, and we draw the connections between the various locations on them, which is actually fun to do.

I don't like the idea of a mat with dedicated player space anyway, because of all the ways you could gain or lose equipment space (bandolier, charisma, items that take 2 slots, like flamethrower or enchanted blade, ...)

Yeah, I was able to nab the second edition, thankfully.

Still $19.97 if anyone else has interest:

https://www.amazon.com/Fantasy-Flight-Games-Game-Thrones/dp/1633441903

$38 directly from Fantasy Flight but if you look in the corner you can order direct from Amazon for $19.97.

We should be able to throw together decent decks for two people with just the core set, right? Neither of us are hardcore, so as long as we can pull of a modicum of strategic play we'll be happy.

Just thought, but my Mum love to do jigsaw puzzles. She uses a large jigsaw folder to hold the pieces in place to move it. Something like this:

Depends where you are.
Oplaser is based in the UK and I'm in France.

It took 15 days between my order and package arrival, with only one notification from the the delivery agency (Parcel2Go.com)

Beware that the box arrived unassembled, you have to assemble it yourself, so you have to get some wood glue (like this one : https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B0001YS16U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and a strap to help you fix every part together (https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B001W7HYDQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

But in the end, the product is really great, worth the investment.


sorry for bad english ...

Okay I bought everything needed except woodburner. Do you think this would get the job done? https://www.amazon.com/Walnut-Hollow-Introduction-Intermediate-Woodburners/dp/B000VRTG8Y/ref=lp_262717011_1_3?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1524884937&sr=1-3

Any chance you could show me what your printed out and how you stenciled? Yeah I am copying you completely.

Looks like Amazon has three out of the remaining four in stock at little-or-no markup right now too:

To Fight The Black Wind

The Deep Gate

Ire of the Void

All five are in stock on FFG right now though. Neat!

The Thing on the Roof and Valley of the Lost by Robert E Howard. Both found in his Horror Stories collection, among many other great stories.

I'm using the KMC Perfect Hard sleeves for my player cards and the Ultra Pro Standard Pro-fit sleeves for my encounter cards, agenda and acts decks aswell as location cards.

My own current storage solution consist of two core boxes cut and taped together. I followed this guide here. It's reached it maximum capacity at the moment with 2 core sets and all of the Dunwich and Carcosa cycles. If I plan on getting The Forgotten age I'll have to retire it.

As for the rule inserts, I keep those in a separate brown office manila envelope. I unfold the heavily folded mytho pack inserts, then flatten them out and they all fit in a single envelope fairly easily.

Well, you can 'sleeve' the chaos tokens :)

I actually was looking at getting that, but I also saw a lot of people raving about this annotated version. Any Lovecraft fans that can comment on whether this or OP's version is the one to pick up for a newcomer?

Here's one https://www.amazon.com/Sphere-Silicone-Jewelry-Specimen-Nonstick/dp/B07J6SJDPJ/ref=sr_1_4?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1549040903&sr=1-4&keywords=epoxy+mold+sphere

Sleeved. And these boxes are about the same size as a Return to box... Maybe a smidge shorter.

My Scenario & Encounter cards are sleeved in a BCW Deckbox. I also have a Dual Deckbox that I can hold the 3 pre-built core decks in. Tokens are held in a Plano 3500

I use FFG sleeves with these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00095M5DQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_AJwrDbBH96BSW

I use the Ultra pro penny sleeves. They are flappy and thin, but cheap.

Regarding the decal, the penny sleeves don't have one. I'm not sure about their higher end sleeves.

I've never worked with foamcore myself. I've thought about it for some box inserts but never pulled the trigger. It looks handy though! This is the chipboard I got (Canada link, but US probably has the same stuff for cheaper).

For the art, I used Google images and found the highest res images I could grab. I got the core box image, and a transparent AHLCG logo. I asked FFG for the background pattern, but apparently they're not allowed to give that stuff out (understandably so). So I took a random high-res nebula image, made it black and white, then color shifted it until the blue was close enough to the core box. For the font at the bottom, I used Teutonic.

If you, or anyone else, wants to do the same thing, I can post dimensions for the box and the GIMP files for the wrap (though don't expect anything professional, there's some bad crops that left remnants behind).
