Just another nerd.
Back in November, Fantasy Flight announced the availablity of these Arkham Horror miniatures. Each one will run you $3.99 or you can buy a complete set for $191.52. I’m beginning to suspect the real horror is how much you can spend on one board game.
Fantasy Flight Games has released Arkham Horror Toolkit — an iOS app for Arkham Horror designed to take care of some of the overhead with playing that game,
The app has gotten fairly good reviews, but one of the issues to be cognizant of is that buying the $2.99 app give you the toolkit for managing investigators, locations, etc. for the main game but not for the various expansions.
To enable the expansions in the app, the user has to enable each of the expansions with an in-app purchase. Full blown expansions, such Dunwich Horror, are $1.99, while smaller expansions, such as The King in Yellow, are $.99. Still, if you want to enable all of the expansions, you’re looking at a total cost of $12.92.
Seems kind of steep, but on the other hand I know if they had an Android version of this I’d pay that in a heartbeat.
Fantasy Flight Games announced that Innsmouth Horror will be the next full box expansion for Arkham Horror. I think I’m going to need a larger dining room table.
Strange Eons is a free cross-platform application written in Java designed to assist in making professional looking custom content for Fantasy Flight’s extremely popular Arkham Horror board game. Using the program, people have created everything from new investigators — including taking pop culture icons like SpongeBob SquarePants or the Buffy characters and converting them into the game — to creating entire expansion packs for the game. The sheer volume of free content out there for Arkham Horror created with Strange Eons is amazing. If you love Arkham Horror half as much as the cultists do, you need to check this out.
