Headline:  "Bokrug, we will come back for you!"

Ancient One

Bokrug

Investigators (in the order they were chosen)

Lola Hayes, the Actress - Justin
Monterey Jack, the Archaeologist - Susan
George Barnaby, the Lawyer - Rob
Jenny Barnes, the Dilettante - Justin
William Yorick, the Gravedigger - Susan
Kate Winthrop, the Scientist - Rob

End of Game

We got tired.  6/12 or 13 doom tokens, and we were pooped.

House Rules/Game Setup
Justin selected Bokrug because we had never played him before.

Rob randomly selected 6 investigators, and we took turns selecting two each, ala gym class.
This was a fun, new way to choose the investigators.

Expansions in play
Curse of the Dark Pharaoh
Dunwich Horror
The King in Yellow
Kingsport Horror
The Black Goat of the Woods
Innsmouth Horror
The Lurker at the Threshold

Heralds, Guardians, and Institutions

[none]

Highlights

  *  Hound of Tindolos was the first monster drawn...
*  Due to the monster trophies he starts with, Yorrick was able to complete his personal story on the first turn by being blessed.
*  My lawyer is tainted, wanted and his allies get devoured... I think he is Better Call Sal.-Rob

Headline: "i think we did alright..." - suz, 7 months later

Ancient One
Bokrug & his beings of IB

Investigators
Skids O'Toole, the Ex-Con - Susan
Silas Marsh, the Sailor - Rob
Tommy Muldoon, the Rookie Cop - Bryan
Ursula Downs, the Explorer - Robbilee
Rita Young, the Athlete - Rachelle
Lola Hayes, the Actress - Justin

End of Game
This is being posted significantly after-the-fact, and I don't remember. Maybe Justin remembers and will comment.

House Rules/Game Setup
Again, I do not recall, but I vaguely remember that we played because "hey! Halloween is tomorrow! we should totally play Arkham Horror!"

So we might have gone through and chosen an Ancient One that we had not used very often. There were a bunch of them that were new from the latest expansion that we hadn't used yet. If someone remembers better, please let me know.

Investigators were most likely chosen from 4 possible randomly dealt investigators, after finding out the Ancient One's abilities and discussing winning tactics.

Expansions in play
Curse of the Dark Pharaoh
Dunwich Horror
The King in Yellow (we use the new cards from this, but we never have actually had the 'play' enter play)
Kingsport Horror - we left out Heralds and Guardians
The Black Goat of the Woods
Innsmouth Horror
