For the Dunwich campaign with Jenny. Investigation/support, with some magic to beat the tripe out of things.
Weaponry:
- Spells. This is a Magic Daisy
Assets:
- Old Book of Lore for safe card draw. Hopefully the main thing her ability is used for.
- Medical Texts to heal. This is likely to be mostly herself.
- Encyclopedia to boost Jenny, mainly.
- Holy Rosary for the Willpower, to boost spells.
- Bulletproof Vest to account for low health. That's a major issue for Daisy.
- Pathfinder to run around quickly. Fantastic card.
Allies:
- Dr. Milan Christopher for +1 intellect, and to pay her to investigate.
- Research Librarian to help find the right tome.
Events:
- Blinding Light for evasion
- Ward of Protection to avoid troublesome treacheries in the first place. Daisy can handle the horror.
- Mind over Matter to temporarily make Daisy a bit of a monster.
Diary
7: Where Doom Awaits...
Boy, did we need more weaponry. Entered the Gate Killed off Servant of the Lurker and Seth Bishop. Daisy didn't get one offensive card out the whole game, but did do all the investigating. Really needed more firepower, though. Daisy cleared The Necronomicon, but Jenny failed to clear Searching for Izzie; it was on Sentinel Peak, but 2 Conglomeration of Spheres were approaching, Daisy was low on cards with Beyond the Veil down, and Jenny had 1 ammo in her guns. Pushing for the victory was safer. Time wasn't too bad.
6: Undimensioned and Unseen
Hmm. Might've got all the brood, but the encounter deck never threw a 4th one out. They did have spare time. Both Jenny and Daisy were pretty horrified by the end. Jenny managed to get +2 with Cat Burglar and Earl Sawyer out, and Pickpocket - so also drew 2 for each evade. Nifty.
Daisy with Pathfinder is also pretty awesome as she's effectively got 5 actions a lot of the time. Encyclopedia got a lot of use.
Whippoorwills were a pain.
5: Blood on the Altar
Very close finish! Jenny and Daisy had one horror remaining each. Bulletproof Vests and Holy Rosary were used multiple times. Jenny won at the last minute by killing Silas Bishop with her last shot.
Jenny drew off a bunch of hunters then used Elusive to escape.
4: After Essex County Express
Got through to the engine and got it started. Bit of a struggle, time wise; Jenny would have to move first, clear out enemies, and then Daisy follow and grab clues. No major issues, though.
3: After Miskatonic Museum
Beat the hunting horror a couple of times, by both Daisy and Jenny. Scrying with Daisy actually kept it nicely under control while she hoovered up clues - it was very useful. Cleared Searching for Izzie too. Pretty straight forward, to be honest.
Took the The Necronomicon - mostly 'cos Daisy Like Tomes. I'm hoping that it proves useful (resources might be nice).
2: After "House Always Wins"
Mostly, this was about Jenny; she paid for the early clues to get into the back rooms of the club, and then fought her way back to rescue Peter Clover. Daisy helped with some light Shrivelling, but mostly this was about Jenny, 2 guns, and a load of ammunition. Paying allies for clues is quite handy, too. Cleared the The Necronomicon too.
Got Dr. Henry Armitage.
1: After Extracurricular Activity
Jenny killed a lot of Thralls, and the duo saved the students. Both decks were starting to look a little thin with 'Beyond the Veil' in play. "Jazz" Mulligan was hiding pretty much at the bottom of the deck. It turns out that Old Book of Lore is not so useful when your draw is quite limited. Oh, and Identified the Strange Solution. (I'd still like to know what it does!)

Jun 27, 2017Yeah, I've been a little disappointed by Song of the Dead. It is good with Higher Education. It's main advantage is that your deck can only contain 2 Overpowers, so 2 Fights - Song of the Dead x2 gives 10 Fights. Strange Solution would be preferable - but as I swapped it out, it'd be 5 XP to add next time. Also Expose Weakness and "I've got a plan!" might be better combat options for Daisy. I find she's rarely short of resources. |
Jun 27, 2017I'm not swimming in ressources, as Rex is using Dr. Milan Christopher to compensate his lower , so my daisy using Alyssa Graham. I'm using Forbidden Knowledge to compensate a bit, however even daisy's 9 sanity cannot take 2 of them. For combat, i currently use 2x Strange Solution and 2x Shrivelling. The beginning of dunwich does not have many enemies or bosses, so i'm currently considering if this is enough combat support for a balanced daisy. What i can say, it's nice to gain 3 cards per turn (upkeep, Old Book of Lore and Arcane Initiate). |
That's interesting, i'm in a similar setup. We're using daisy and rex, last mission we cleared was the train.
What do you think of Song of the Dead? For daisy, it seems like an overpriced Overpower to me... it costs 2xp, 4 actions and makes you attack at 4 . Using overpower, you're also at 4. I guess it can be boosted with Higher Education?
I think the combat version of Strange Solution is pretty good and it can be boosted with the Encyclopedia.
