Amiri & Friends #42 - Unearthly OP

Artist: @sheastandefer

When we started playing through the old boxes, I thought adding in Ultimate Add-On decks would be a fun way to spice things up on a replay (for me) and see a variety of interesting cards for my new friends. However, we seem to keep finding little card combos that were likely unintentional.

In Wrath, our Hunter Adowyn had been having trouble recharging spells, so with the Riffle Scrolls came along (which lets you place spells on it instead of banishing them, and then bury the Riffle Scrolls to recharge all spells on it that could be recharged with a check of a skill you have), that seemed like a great solution to not always be losing her Cure.

Then we found Unearthly Aim, a (supposedly) one use card that banishes to add 10 + AD# to your Ranged combat check. A really powerful card, but it has no recharge check, so you just have to banish it to use, and hope it comes up to acquire again.

Except, if you place a spell on Riffle Scrolls, and then never bury it to recover those spells, all spells left on it are buried. Meaning, they go right back in your deck! It requires you to sink two cards to keep, you have to be a caster who also makes Ranged attacks, and you need to have the Riffle Scrolls out before you can play Unearthly Aim without losing it, but a once-per-game +13 (or +14 or +15 or +16) is pretty good insurance in the villain fight!

Despite his comedic objection in this comic, I feel like Mike Selinker would approve our ingenuity. :)

Title: The Hindenburg Archives: The Story of the Fireside Family Podcast (Episode 104)

Author: Mike Selinker

Rating: 5/5 stars

Follow-up to my final review of The Hindenburg Archives. This was a pretty good episode, and as always with Selinker, if I had more time I'd want to get back to it and provide some analysis on individual episodes. This episode, however, is pretty self-contained and should not be missed.

In case you missed it, here's the scenario:

In the late 1980s, a Howard Hughes-esque billionaire named Michael Whitney II used an old oil derrick in rural upstate New York as his second (and last) family home. In 1992, Whitney's daughter and his wife discovered a radio broadcast from the derrick; Whitney and his family were trapped inside the burning building, which was quickly growing in size.

We meet several of the people involved in the crisis at this point: Whitney's son, Ethan, the only person with any sense; Whitney's daughter, Ariana; the Whitney's pets (a Bearded Dragon and a Leopard), which include an injured tortoise and several chickens; and also a fly named Gordo, for some reason.

So far, so familiar. After some time, Whitney's daughter (who has been apparently named Ariana in error) decides to leave the building, going down an elevator and out of the burning building. Ariana uses the Internet (as can be imagined) to contact her father, and learns that he's still trapped inside.

This story moves at an interesting clip: after Ariana's father sends a frantic message on the Internet, a machinist named Dave Dunne (the founder of a website called "Emergency Alert System," or "EAS") receives the message and decides to try to convince Ariana to get out of the building.

Dunne is as baffling a character as you'd expect someone to be in this situation: he is a mysterious, sardonic man who broadcasts on a website called "Second Opinion" and seems to be some sort of odd gangster. He broadcasts on Second Opinion, as well as a website called "Trader Joe's," which sounds like it might be a front for some sort of con, and he may even be one of the people trying to free Whitney from the building. It's also mentioned that he seems to be a friend of Ariana's boyfriend, named Andrew, and that Andrew has been helping Ariana out.

Dunne apparently communicates via a website, "Second Opinions," which is frequently followed by comments that become increasingly panicked and bizarre, then abruptly cease. This website appears to be a front for a con, and Dunne has made some comments that sound as if they could be threats.

Then, right at the end of the episode, a guy named Brad Gage arrives to help, seemingly from nowhere, and places a harness around Ariana and Ariana's pets. This seems to get the job done (although maybe there was a mistake), and he then leads the way out of the building.

Now, if you've watched the original episode, you know that Ariana was actually really stuck. If she didn't have the harness around her, I can't imagine she would have gone down the elevator -- and the people she was with seemed pretty aware that there was a lot of danger in the air. It is no wonder she didn't listen to Dunne.

So, what happened in this new episode? Well, Ariana uses her iPhone to contact a bunch of people, including Andrew. Andrew tries to get Ariana to go back to the building, which she doesn't want to do, but then Andrew drops the ball. He tells Ariana that, actually, everyone is probably dead, and that they probably aren't getting out alive.

Ariana's response is surprisingly reasonable: "What happens after I die, I dying?" Andrew, who may be mad at her or sympathetic to her, replies that they'll "go out in style." Ariana complains that this may not be enough to get her out.

Ariana gets the harness on Andrew, which seems to work -- Andrew goes down to the elevator. And then Andrew and Ariana are in the elevator together! Andrew expresses concern that he may have "screwed up," but Ariana reassures him that "it's a safe thing." Andrew says that if they are worried about making things "too comfortable," maybe they can just go straight to Whitney's, "because we don't want to be stuck in some part of the building."

Andrew and Ariana then try to get out of the building, but Andrew is in trouble: Whitney's security guards have locked the door. Andrew asks Ariana for help, and she tells him that if he gets out of there alive, "you just give us the code for the roof and we'll go down in an elevator and we'll be fine." Andrew has a plan, so Ariana says they can just pretend to be dead in the elevator, and he agrees to try it.

Now, the elevator is about to leave the building, but Ariana, after telling Andrew that they'll "go down in an elevator," has a new idea: "We'll go down in an elevator, but we'll come up with a real plan first." So Ariana and Andrew get in the elevator (where there is a box of cash and a note that says "Help wanted") and, apparently, did not die in vain.

Meanwhile, we see Ariana in Whitney's dressing room. Whitney and her friends have just learned of Andrew and Ariana's escape. Ariana appears on screen, saying she "did some tricks" to get out of the building and try to contact her father. We then see Ariana, Andrew, and Whitney's daughter, who seems to be Nellie Oates. Ariana introduces herself and asks if she can help, as Nellie's daughter. Nellie seems unsure, but agrees to help -- although she doesn't seem sure whether she did it to help Ariana, as Ariana had apparently "screwed up" somehow. Whitney and her friends appear slightly uneasy, and when Ariana begins to explain the details of Andrew's plan, they "shut [them] down," and immediately end the call.

It's now ten minutes to nine, and Ariana's on the phone with her father. Ariana is expressing her frustration that Andrew and Ariana didn't just get a plan together, and that Andrew screwed up. Her father then tells her he's going to check the building to see if they're all okay, and then hangs up.

This scene seems to be taking place in the elevator, but Andrew has already gotten out of the elevator when Ariana hangs up. We see Andrew exiting the elevator. The elevator doors open, and Andrew exits and sees Whitney and her friends, who are also standing in the elevator. Andrew suddenly notices a strange thing on his chest: he has a "t-shaped" scar on his chest. He is now suddenly covered in a thick, black cloak. It is now nine minutes to eight.

Ariana and Andrew argue in a darkened alley. Andrew pulls a gun on Ariana. Ariana says that Andrew isn't dangerous, and she will never harm him. Andrew angrily says, "I am dangerous! I am very dangerous!" Andrew points his gun at Ariana and asks Ariana if she can "tell that to my wife." Ariana refuses to tell her, saying that there are some things that are too dangerous to talk about. Andrew continues to insist that she harm him, and she says that "I can't." Andrew pulls the trigger.

We see Ariana walking along a dark, empty street, and she hears Andrew calling to her. She turns around, and Andrew is no longer there. She sees a man walking toward her, and he has long, dark hair.

The man is Benjamin Lin, played by Michael Emerson. He tells Ariana

New Game Round-up: Watch Your Back in Hyde Society While Golfing on Revised Buses

by W. Eric Martin

Time to round up more game announcements and pseudo-announcements from the past few months that have slipped by me while I was focused on conventions: • Designer Mike Selinker announced in late March 2019 that for the past two years his company Lone Shark Games has been working with Justin Gary of Stone Blade Entertainment "on my first game with a traitor mechanic since Betrayal at House on the Hill". This game, tentatively called Hyde Society, is a fantasy game set during the Victorian era. Beyond that brief description, nothing else has been announced so far. • U.S. publisher Capstone Games is partnering with Dutch publisher Splotter Spellen to release a twentieth anniversary edition of Bus from designers Jeroen Doumen and Joris Wiersinga • In June 2019, Z-Man Games will release a new edition of Seiji Kanai's Love Letter that contains five cards more than the original Love Letter — which might not sound like much, but since the original game has only sixteen cards, it will now be 31% larger! This 2019 edition of the game has all new art and two new characters: the Chancellor (value 6) allows you to draw two new cards, add those to your hand, then place two cards of your choice on the bottom of the deck, while the Spy (value 0) wins you a favor token if you were the only player to play or discard a spy during the round. • CABO is a variant of the public domain card game Golf that designers Mandy Henning and Melissa Limes published through Eventide Games in 2010. Now Bézier Games has released a second edition of CABO that keep the fundamentals of the game while changing some details of the gameplay and scoring. The gist of the game remains the same: Start with four face-down cards from a deck numbered 0-13, looking at two of those cards. On a turn, you can draw from the deck or discard pile, look at the card drawn (if from the deck), then decide whether to swap it for one of the cards in your display or use it for its special power (assuming that it has one). If you have matching cards in your display, you can remove them both and replace them with a single card, ideally lowering the total of the cards you hold. If you think you have the lowest total, you can call for the round to end at the start of your next turn, with you scoring no points if you're correct and scoring the sum of your cards and a penalty if you're wrong. Everyone else scores for their cards' value, and you play multiple rounds, trying to have the lowest score. from BoardGameGeek News | BoardGameGeek http://bit.ly/2ID0Osv
