Betrayal at House on the Hill - Game Over

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I don't see anything here that places limits on using Items you just got, but of note is that you can only give one item (including a Key) to an Explorer on your turn, anything else you want them to have you gotta drop. You can also only "pick up" stuff once, whether it's one item or multiple (so no grabbing stuff from two rooms on the same turn).

notably, this still enables us to trade back and forth a shit ton of stuff, so long as things are dropped in the same room.

You can only give another player one item, you'll have to drop the rest if you want the explorer to have access to them. For the record.

Yeah but picking up an item or group of items doesn't cost a movement point or end your movement, so it's trivial for us to do.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

There's a reason Xof has never beat me at this game.

I've sold my soul to the devil for absurd RNG.

[xofelf]

I'm saving my soul til the devil offers me something more profitable, jeez.

[Cheery Dog]

Go North, and attempt to cross the Chasm.

Original Roll String: 4d3-4

4 3-Sided Dice: (2, 2, 3, 1)-4 = 4

(I hope that ninja while I was deciding not to use the idol doesn't cost me, the static I just had to remove would have been 3)

[Cheery Dog]

yay grab the key as I pass.

Go into Abandoned room, pass Heather the Spirit board and drop the idol.

Continue North.

Sorry to butt in but I was wondering what module you were using to run this.

I remember running a game of this a few years ago and the VASSAL module wasn't very good. The screenshots of the board and cards you have here are way better.

It's VASSAL, they've upgraded the module since, it's so much nicer.

[Xalxe]

You have discovered the

Crypt

! If you end your turn here, you take 1 point of mental damage. There is also a Key here, which you will get after you take that damage. An Event card is drawn.

Hideous Shriek

Zoe has elected not to use her roll of 6, so here's everyone's rolls.

Brandon

(Sanity 4):

Original Roll String: 4d3-4

4 3-Sided Dice: (2, 3, 1, 1)-4 = 3

Zoe

(Sanity 6):

Original Roll String: 6d3-6

6 3-Sided Dice: (2, 3, 1, 1, 3, 3)-6 = 7

Vivian

(Sanity 6):

Original Roll String: 6d3-6

6 3-Sided Dice: (2, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1)-6 = 4

Longfellow

(Sanity 3):

Original Roll String: 3d3-3

3 3-Sided Dice: (2, 3, 1)-3 = 3

Ox

(Sanity 3):

Original Roll String: 3d3-3

3 3-Sided Dice: (2, 3, 2)-3 = 4

Heather

(Sanity 3):

Original Roll String: 3d3-3

3 3-Sided Dice: (1, 2, 3)-3 = 3

[Xalxe]

Zoe, Vivian, and Ox all resist the sound.
Brandon, Longfellow and Heather all take 1 die of mental damage.

Brandon

:

Original Roll String: 1d3-1

1 3-Sided Dice: (3)-1 = 2

Longfellow

:

Original Roll String: 1d3-1

1 3-Sided Dice: (1)-1 = 0

Heather

:

Original Roll String: 1d3-1

1 3-Sided Dice: (1)-1 = 0

[Xalxe]

Brandon

must take 3 points of Mental damage (2 from the Hideous Shriek, 1 from the Crypt). He also will have picked up the Key.

It is now

Zoe

's turn.

[Cheery Dog]

I guess two sanity and a knowledge.

But at least I've got the keys.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Not that it matters since I took no damage, but my Candle is a factor here, Xalxe

[Cheery Dog]

I don't think it counted because I drew the event card?

[Lady Lambdadelta]

oh gross that's an Errata from game 1 I think. Originally I think it was "any time you make an event roll"

[Cheery Dog]

Um, I just reread the how to unlock a collar, I note think I'm not meant to have progressed post getting the key in the chasm

[Xalxe]

Not that it matters since I took no damage, but my Candle is a factor here, Xalxe

CD is right about why it's not.

You can't move after finding a Key, but you can attempt to use it or give it to another explorer. Each Key can only be used once to unlock a collar; discard that token afterward.

Ah, yes indeed. Missed that! So you're in the Chasm with one key; I'll shuffle the Shriek and Crypt back into the decks. Still Zoe's turn.

[Xalxe]

Brandon also still has the Idol and the Spirit Board, though you may drop either/both if you wish.

[Cheery Dog]

damn me looking at when I want to activate the keys.

I'll drop the idol, spirit board is useless unless given.

[Cheery Dog]

I assume that means graveyard is back on top

[Xalxe]

I assume that means graveyard is back on top

Yup.

[Xalxe]

Also a minor note: if the traitor dies by non-collar methods, they are not revealed if I understand the haunt right.

[xofelf]

Alrighty, well I would like to head to the junk room to pick up that key and whatever other rolling shenanigans I gotta do to get it.

[Xalxe]

You move to the Junk Room, you must make a Might Roll of 3+ to get the Key.

Original Roll String: 3d3-3

3 3-Sided Dice: (2, 1, 2)-3 = 2

[Xalxe]

No dice! You may continue moving (if you pass another Might roll), but may not try to get that Key again.

EDIT: You have also lost a Speed for failing this roll.

[xofelf]

I'd like to use my Dark Dice plz. But also, I think i'm just gonna end my turn after that.
