We devoured Lauren Hodges' Miskatonic Repository debut, "Feed the Many, over the weekend and swore off pasta after our feast. In addition to cooking up the scenario, Lauren garnished it with her own illustrations, and we love the art style she brings to the table.
The main course of this narrative dish is a 1920s Arkham experience, simmered to perfection for 3–5 Investigators over 1–3 sessions.
Our group played it in one long serving, spending some 8 hours, including tips, to do so.
We would have relished an appetizer in the form of premade investigators, but thankfully, our Keeper whipped up a fresh batch for us.
The scenario has a fine hook to reel in a group's existing Investigators and thus serve as a satisfying bite in between the banquet of a campaign's scenarios, which does diminish the drawback of the missing pregens.
Some meals are an acquired taste, and diners with a queasy stomach better seek their sustenance elsewhere. Body horror, graphic gore, and parasitic infestation are among the things the chef has to navigate his picky eaters through.
A thematically fitting X-card, with proper instruction in its meaning and use, is included as part of the menu.
As a group, we were delighted to partake in this scenario. With its clear and digestible structure, it was easy for the Keeper to prep and plate, and left us aghast after the rich, horrifying flavors of the finale.
Purely by chance, we appear to have become a food critic service as much as a review blog.
About 2 months ago, we gave you a reason to avoid raspberries after playing "Whispers from the Bramble´s Heart" by Robert Gresham; now, thanks to Laurens' cooking, we are urging you to also avoid Spaghetti Bolognese.
You´ll understand why after playing it yourself. Dig into today’s special for just $4.99
It´s 4.5 Stars for us but we rounded up.
