“No one, even those who have the facts concerning the recent horror, can say just what is the matter with Dunwich…”
–H.P. Lovecraft, The Dunwich Horror

Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the upcoming release of The Dunwich Legacy, a deluxe expansion for Arkham Horror: The Card Game!

Several months ago, three Miskatonic University professors armed themselves with secret knowledge, traveled to Dunwich, and brought an end to the strange and terrifying creature that had been terrorizing the secluded village. Their heroic efforts brought peace to the region—for a while—but also left the men scarred by the horrors they had witnessed. Now, one of those professors, Dr. Armitage, has need of your assistance. His colleagues have gone missing, and he fears the worst…

With five mini cards and 156 full-size cards, The Dunwich Legacy challenges you to find the missing professors and launches you into a campaign that leads to Miskatonic University, the notorious Clover Club, and beyond. Five new investigators arrive to offer their services, armed with fifty-nine new player cards (including a complete playset of each) that allow you to pursue new deck-building strategies and new styles of play. Finally, you’ll find all manner of new terrors arrayed against you—from backroom thugs and bad luck to arcane hexes and wholly unnatural abominations.

Where Will Your Search Take You?

The Dunwich Legacy introduces two new scenarios, Extracurricular Activity and The House Always Wins, that pit you against the forces defined by eleven new encounter sets. You’ll infiltrate the Clover Club and witness firsthand its shady and sometimes violent transactions. You’ll traverse the halls and greens of Miskatonic University. And if you’re lucky enough—and careful enough—you might just find Dr. Armitage’s missing colleagues and live (with your faculties intact) to tell the tale.

However, the details of that tale will depend both on the decisions you’ll make and your willingness to delve deeper into the layers of mystery you encounter… The Dunwich Legacy doesn’t just allow you to explore two new scenarios and their challenges; it serves as the introduction to the whole The Dunwich Legacy campaign, the subsequent chapters of which will be released in an upcoming cycle of Mythos Packs.

For those investigators willing to pursue the horrifying truth, The Dunwich Legacy campaign offers a thrilling and spiraling descent into mystery and madness. Where will your search for Professors Rice and Morgan take you? What will you learn? What connections will you uncover between recent events and the rumors that date back to Dr. Armitage’s involvement in the incident at Dunwich?

Each of the six Mythos Packs that complete the cycle adds new layers of intrigue and new challenges that you can enjoy either as a standalone adventure or as a part of an eight-act mystery. And it all starts with the scenarios and encounter sets from The Dunwich Legacy.

The Chef, the Musician, the Reporter, and More

If your investigators are driven insane or devoured as you confront the ghouls and cultists in the Core Set scenarios, don’t worry! The Dunwich Legacy introduces five new investigators at the outset of its campaign. Like the investigators from the Core Set, these new investigators all come with unique assets and weaknesses. Unlike the Core Set investigators, however, the investigators from The Dunwich Legacy don’t have primary and secondary classes.

Where Roland Banks (Core Set, 1) is primarily a Guardian, who can use Guardian cards of levels zero through five, his Seeker tendencies are represented by his ability to utilize Seeker cards of levels zero through two.

On the other hand, the investigators from The Dunwich Legacy don’t have a secondary class. Instead, like Zoey Samara(The Dunwich Legacy, 1), they have a single class, but can dabble in all the other classes, choosing as many as five level zero cards from classes other than their own.

In this way, they may offer you a shortcut to sampling all the new level zero class cards arriving in The Dunwich Legacy, along with a new neutral card and cards with levels higher than zero. For example, you might want to test Zoey Samaras in combat and play Double or Nothing (The Dunwich Legacy, 26) for a shot at extra damage. Or you might want to use the Rite of Seeking (The Dunwich Legacy, 28) so that Zoey can conduct her investigations with magic. The beauty of the matter is that because both of these cards are level zero, you can include one or two copies of each in your deck, albeit at the cost of two to four of your precious cross-class card slots.

Something Went Terribly Wrong

What secrets lie behind the sealed doors of Miskatonic University? Just how sinister are the gangsters that run Arkham’s Clover Club? What do the disappearances of Professors Rice and Morgan have to do with the events of Dunwich, several months back?

You are an investigator. Gather your assets, gather your allies, and begin your investigation. The Dunwich Legacy is now at The Wandering Dragon!

 

“Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again.”
–H.P. Lovecraft, The Dunwich Horror

The frightening creatures of Mansions of Madness Second Edition have haunted your dreams for weeks now. Mysterious disappearances brought you to the Vanderbilt mansion, and your stay in Innsmouth was disturbed by darkness and despair. You’ve encountered devoted cultists and disgruntled spirits, bound to the mortal world by their evil tasks. Terror has overcome you and grievous injuries have put your mortality on display. Every choice you’ve made has led you somewhere, but even the strongest of mind and body will crack eventually.

Even more horror awaits you in Beyond the Threshold, the first expansion to Mansions of Madness Second Edition. Introducing two new investigators, one unfamiliar creature, and a variety of additional components, this expansion will extend the possibilities of your journey through each and every unsettling scenario of uncertainty and anxiety. The new spaces to discover, people to encounter, and cards to experience all come together in additional scenarios, throwing you into the dim unknown of two new mysteries, each with their own unique additions to the world of Mansions of Madness.

Haunted Souls

Your pool of investigators with which to enter the game continues to expand with two more brilliant truth-seekers, both completely new to Mansions of Madness. Wilson Richards may appear to be little more than an everyday handyman, but his call to fix issues larger than the plumbing has led him down an unusual path. His blue-collar, day-to-day life has provided him a practical, physical strength which can only be of help in a fight, and he has developed an acute focus through years of detailed work. The more spiritually gifted Akachi Onyele found herself an outsider in childhood, but has since discovered a keen and sacred awareness of the supernatural. Her exceptional knowledge comes from a lifetime of training and study, and her eye for the unusual makes her a great asset to any team of investigators.

It is with these brave truth-seekers that you will face off with both monsters you’ve met before and the newly corrupted Thralls. People who are weak in mind and spirit have a tendency to fall to dark powers, though none quite like the possessed creatures introduced in this expansion. The forces controlling their minds have gained influence over their physical being as well and have disfigured it almost beyond recognition. Thus, the people with whom you speak in one moment may be the monster you must fight to destroy in the next. There is no such thing as trust with these dark powers afoot.

Alongside the new investigators and creatures of Beyond the Threshold are a myriad of new objects, spells, conditions, and afflictions. New weapons lie in wait, offering unique ways to attack, while unfamiliar pains and anxieties threaten you at every turn. You may take control by casting new and powerful spells, or become mesmerized by the chaos of it all. You may find yourself at ease when the monsters and map tiles before you seem familiar, but blended with dozens of new components, you’ll never know what to expect… especially when map tiles move and seemingly ordinary objects possess hidden qualities.

When Darkness Falls

The mysteries that lie within the expansion will try your perception of reality, as you try to determine what is real and what lives only in your disoriented mind. When you seek answers, you will come across many red herrings and falsehoods, and you must be able to differentiate between the real and the unreal. Even when you have gained the knowledge you seek, however, you may find that you never wanted to know it in the first place.

The first of two new scenarios introduced in the expansion is The Gates of Silverwood Manor, a trying investigation of disappearances, each with some connection to Silverwood Manor. You’ve been called in to help by Officer Tetsuo Mori, though what happened before you arrived was never fully explained. After all, how could anyone know about the supernatural events occurring within the manor? The observations you make upon arrival may fail you later, as you return to explored areas only to find unfamiliar spaces.

In Vengeful Impulses, the second of the scenarios, you may experience a similar inconsistency of reality, though as darkness envelops you and your fellow dinner guests, you may begin to question the motivations of those around you. Your host, Thomas Carvey, has suspicions of a malicious plot, and the unsettling events you witness may suggest he is right. Further exploration of his home, however, may lead to greater questions, and intensify your desire to nail down the facts.

Answer the Call

Across the haunted and eerie Arkham, your insights and abilities are gaining attention, and people have begun to seek out your assistance. But can you truly help when you encounter never-before-seen creatures and your own mind begins to fail you? Or are your weaknesses more of a hindrance than your strengths are a help? Test your sanity once again as the mysteries that torment the region persist in Beyond the Threshold.

Beyond the Threshold is now at The Wandering Dragon!
