It promised an experience that felt RPG-adjacent, as if you were working your way through a prettier but more stringent Chaosium module penned by their B-team. The first edition was captivating particularly for its ambition. This was 2011 and we were young and naive. It was easy to look past the soft and fugly (that’s short for fucking ugly) miniatures because it was a different time. It had a look about it – that typical FFG spread of token buffet atop wonderfully illustrated room tiles. It was a messy hybrid of dungeon crawler and mysterious story game that could leave you in wonder or constipation, depending on how your particular Lovecraft vignette developed. I still remember the original Corey Konieczka design fondly. Right now I’m working my way through the latest expansion, The Sanctum of Twilight, and feeling all somber and poetic. I shared my enthusiasm for the game here. I’ve already written thousands of words on this new edition. But a game being released by perhaps the largest player in our industry with only a week’s notice? That’s absurd. This is an age where we buy the idea of games years in advance, a time where people are in a hurry to open the box of my latest purchase for me and broadcast it on YouTube. Yet this reimagined big box title lurched from the basement without a peep. This is a company that typically rolls a parade of articles out on its digital home months in advance of a release.

The second insert with 28 compartments takes care of the smaller miniatures, like the investigators and the other monsters.

If you paint your miniatures, the colors here are also well protected against abrasion and flaking.Īnother 4 compartments are reserved for cards, tokens and dice. The Star Spawn will keep its wings and the Cultist his scepter. The separate storage of the miniatures in compartments made of soft foam ensures optimal protection of the sensitive parts.

There are 2 for the Star Spawn, 4 for the Hunting Horror and the Riot, and two compartments for smaller miniatures. On the first foam tray, 12 compartments ensure that the larger figures are safely accommodated.
