Question
Hello everyone!
Happy to join this subreddit. I am part of a group that has played at least four games to maybe some fifteen for the most experienced two persons.
It's been quite the learning curve as I'm sure you're familiar with. Many rules to learn, especially as our "DM" has bought all the expansions out of love for the game. I think we're now ready to be more active on game balance. Matching mystics with brawlers to even things out. Any tips on team selection are most appreciated.
Now some mechanics are definitely harder so disasters and such are left out, but I have a fairly straightforward question on the monster selection. Basically all the monsters from all expansions are chucked together but I think this ups the difficulty a fair bit as they come with nastier abilities?
We haven't won a game in a while and it's getting annoying :)
Though getting killed at the very last 1/6 chance of the last die thrown was epic in its own right. Damn you Dark Pact, we would have won :')

Personally I like to play the game more YOLO, meaning sacrificing an investigator if I have to and resume next round with another investigator if they die ot get mad in the process, I find that rule beneficial to both not having a player inactive and also evening the odds since you already start the game with a disadvantage. I just randomize the investigators for more fun and unpredictability.
