Asmodee Arkham Horror The Roleplaying Game CORE RULEBOOK - Dive into 1920s Asmodee Arkham's Mysterious World! Immersive RPG Adventure for Kids & Adults, Ages 14+, 2-6 Players, 1+ Hour Playtime

My game group had a lot of fun with the Arkham rpg. We decided to try something new after years of only playing DND and the change of theme and setting was welcome. The book is of excellent quality and for the most part the game is straightforward. We are all waiting for a new campaign module for the game. We played through terra antarctica and had a blast. This book has pretty much all you need to play the game. The mechanics of the game are very unique, so that was a nice change compared to the standard d20 systems.

Excellent rules set. Encapsulates the feel of fast pulp driven adventure without getting bogged down in the minutiae of rules. I would be interested to see the rules reskinned for other settings/genres. Simple and easy to pick up. Character creation is relatively quick as well. The initial price was what kept me from getting it at first but I am glad I finally gave it a chance.

Love this game. Hope they make more game resources for the ttrpg

Why did you pick this product vs others?: e Fun: excellent

such an inventive and fun system.

And for the millionth time on this hole of a site I am sent a damaged book while vendors and Amazon play the odds that I won’t complain. Game itself? Great.

Love the book I bought it the same day I bought my startset

I want to start by saying I have a lot of experience with Lovecrafts work in general, a good amount of experience with the second and third editions of the board game, and no experience with the card game. I love the board game, I think it's great. I've played other TTRPG's of Lovecraft and have found them so so. This...is interesting in how it goes about story structure and character design. Right off the bat, I think the character design is pretty minimalist. There's not "A lot" you can do with them from a creation perspective. Effectively, you have Class which determines the skills you have access to at first and Skills which you can improve to improve the number of D6 you would throw. I don't hate that, but I also have never been a huge fan of pure D6 based TTRPGs. I think that style works when you're throwing mass amounts of dice like in a TT Wargame like 40k and to a lesser extend a medium amount of dice like the board game. But in an RPG I think this game would have benefited from a D20 or Percental style similar to Dark Heresy / Imperium Maledictum. Again, I don't dislike it, I just don't think it's the best way to represent dice roles in an RPG. So Character creation is pretty basic, it's more RP than crunch which is perfectly ok if that's the style of game you want to play, similar to a vampire the masquerade setting. In that vain, the campaigns are also on the smaller scale. There is an example campaign in the back of the book and it's interesting reading through it. This game isn't, or wouldn't be benefited by, the epic style campaigns that you might experience in a DnD. Instead this system really thrives in semi short, one off campaigns which are semi "fully" prebuilt by the DM ahead of time. Obviously a DM is going to have an outline for any system they're running but where DnD might have an expansive world to explore this style system seems like it would benefit more from a murder mystery setup where the PC's are introduced to the setting, dropped into a room and told to explore it in an almost escape room style where they gather clues to move on to the next event. Do I hate this? Not at all, I actually did this with a group using the Hunter the Reckoning system this past january (year ago). Do I think every group will like this? Gawd no, I think there are some RP loving players that will hate the style with a passion and describe it as rail roading. So, what do I view this system as excelling at. I think this system would be an amazing introduction to TTRPG'ing or a sort of break game to play in between other, longer form TTRPG's. I think your average campaign of this game is going to be 20-30 hours of play at most . A good group of PC's could probably knock a campaign of this out over a medium length gaming night(6-10 hours). I think this game is absolutely amazing for one offs and I kind of love it for that. Not ever game needs to be an epic, all encompassing campaign. Some games can just be a terror/mystery filled night of constant concern that your character could die at any moment while investigating the twisted horrors of the Lovecraftian universe.

Muy muy completo, una experiencia completa. Ojalá que creen más como este, me encantó, voy a comprar todas las entregas

Marvelous book! I loved Call of Cthulhu for my lovecraftian rpg. But now Arkham Horror is the one! I really adore these settings and if you have played Arkham Horror the popular cardgame, you will find the terms and the rules pretty familiars! (It's directly inspired from it)

Awesome rpg
