Hey guys, the firewall at work is not allowing me to access the AH Wiki. Can someone please help me out by posting the stats on good ol' "Ashcan"? Thanks much.

Direct copy-paste, feel free to format it as you see fit:

Unique Ability: Scrounge - When Pete draws from the Common item, Unique item, or Spell deck, he may draw from either the top or the bottom of that deck, his choice. Pete may look at the bottom card of those decks at any time.

========================================


1. Rokk: You drew an Elder Sign (w00t!), Alien Statue, and +1 Fight

2. Charles: Since you are Ashcan, you can draw from the bottom of the deck, and look at the bottom of the deck, for your common and unique draw, or you can draw from the top. The common deck has dynamite (+8 combat, one-shot) at the bottom, and the unique deck has the powder of Ibn-Ghazi (+9 combat, one-shot) at the bottom. Let me know what you want to do.

3. Charles: You draw Duke, obviously, which increases your maximum sanity by 1. Your sanity should be 5/5 now.

4. Charles: You draw +1 speed for your skill (good card for Ashcan)

5. Jack: I'll draw for you once Charles has made his decision on his draws.


Charles is the last of the draw powers until we get all the way to Melk, so it should be pretty easy to set everyone else up after that.

Thanks, Thawm. Bottom of the unique deck, please. The powder of Ibn-Ghazi sounds fantabulous. Though a boom-stick would have been most excellent. BTW, just call me Ash.

Hail to the king, baby.

If you want my advice, take the top cards instead. One-shot weapons are NOT worth it in the long run. Better to gamble for something permanent, or even better, an Elder Sign. But that's just me

OK, thanks. Since I am a n00b I will go with Melkhy's advice.

Top of the deck, please, Thawm. Let's see what cards are in store for me.

I agree with Melk. In an 8 player game, you need consistency, not superior firepower. You guys have to pretty much just throw yourselves into gates just to keep the game alive, as it is.

Okay.


*is at work*



*wants to go home now*

Also, I took pictures of the board last night, but they don't come out well. The board has some nasty glare if you try and take pictures of it. I'm attempting to find a good board image online, that I can just GIMP up.

Found one.

Sister Mary:

BTW, guys, you don't have to separate your fixed and random possessions. That's just set-up information. Just call them all possessions, so you don't get confused. I've got the rest covered.

I drew everything at home over my lunch hour, but my internet was disabled when I got home, and I didn't have time to call them about it. I should be home in an hour, to do that.

Okay, draw time!

1. Ash - You drew a Map of Arkham, Elder Sign (This is getting ridiculous!), and +1 Speed

2. Jack - You drew Food, Flute of the Outer Gods, Sword of Glory, and Expert Occultist

3. Pax - you drew Holy Water, Elder Sign (Who the hell shuffled??), Flesh Ward, Mists of Releh, and Bravery

4. Smudge - you drew Calvary Sabre, Research Materials, Shriveling, Shriveling, and +1 Sneak

5. Doom - you have, of course, your Tommy Gun and Dynamite, but you also have Book of Dzyan, and +1 Fight

6. Kalel - you have, of course, your Cross and Holy Water, but you also have Wither, Flesh Ward, and Expert Occultist

7. Melk - you have Motorcycle, Powder of Ibn-Gazi, Find Gate, and your skills drawn were +1 Lore, Bravery, and Stealth, of which you need to discard one.

I have to go now, and I doubt I'll be back until later tonight. Feel free to discuss with one another what you have, how you'll use it, if you intend to trade with one another at some point, strategy, etc.

Still not sure how I'm going to handle the board, especially for those of you who don't own the game. Think I'm gonna GIMP it up, but it's a rather colorful board, so I'm not sure how clear my markings will be. Suggestions welcome.
