You can access all my other Betrayal posts HERE. Our only big surprise is finding out more about the helm, as we learn it can be used to select a player, which means that players that use its power more are more likely to be selected. This allows some strategic work, as some players are fighting, some are dragging, and some are magically moving. Plus having someone to narrate and read off the events makes the game much more immersive. Join our community! No, but I was expecting a branching (non linear) story. Certainly there’s some good tension here, which is what you need for a horror game to work, but it’s not enough to offset the pure unfunness of being punished from every exploration. So, we select for items and against omens, under the theory that it’s 80% likely to benefit each of us. We had a time only for prologue, but it blew our minds. The original has some really unbalanced haunts but is still quite fun to play. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. The Bloodied Room was a rarity that we really remembered every time it returned, but most of the ghosts and scares just faded away into a deck of ghosts and scares, thus denying us their Legacy. The Betrayal Legacy Chronicles, Part One discussed the first four adventures, while this continues this series with Chapters Four through Six. Mark down which haunts you did, and who did them. When we started playing Betrayal Legacy last year, I decided to chronicle the entire adventure, to detail how the game has changed over time, and how its co-op and Legacy elements worked. But even when we pull up events that I am pretty sure came from the results of other games, I’m not sure what they’re evoking. On the other hand, the replayability is zero. However, there is a bit of depth: we can stun the furniture while fighting, then drag it to the fire, and we can also INVOKE to move it on its own. And this is going to be it, because we’ve decided that seven sessions is enough, for reasons that I’ll talk about toward the end. So, the Otherworlds could have been the best of the best. But it still feels a lot more one dimensional. They expansion haunts also seemed to make the game much longer on average. I never played any Legacy games before, so I had different perspective on the game. You knew this going into it. I see this mentioned a ton, but it was in Legacy where we encountered a haunt that just completely broke the game. Now it (barely) fits within the build volume of an Ender 3. And then we get to the haunt … and there’s no “traitor”. Putting things in the 'tomb' allows you to pull the card back for future chapters or haunts as needed. That works out to more than 2/3 of the haunts left. So our Betrayal Legacy play ends here, alas. Also with event cards (as the DM) I don’t tell survivors the outcomes until after they rolled, it just adds to the suspense. Oh, it’s slightly different combat, as you SMASH mirror creatures to make it easier to close the portal to the mirror dimension, but it’s just variants of the same themes.
