It might be easier on you if you made the items/allies/stuff link to the appropriate AH wiki page.

I sorta felt weird linking to their site. It would probably be the smarter thing to do

Psssh. Hastur's easy to beat. All you have to do is challenge him to a hockey game.

Hastur makes going for a Closed Gate victory more tempting, but the Lurker's special gates can potentially make that harder... a nasty combination.

Speed/Sneak: 2 [+2 motorcycle] / 2 [+1 skill]
Fight/Will: 0/5
Lore/Luck: 1/5

I see we have Relationships but not Personal Stories. Are we not using the latter? (I am fine either way, just wondering)

I decided against Personal Stories. I had a feeling that if I added more to what we've already got that I would have been driven insane and sought out all of the players and sacrificed them to my dark lord.

Hastur, since he got the most votes.

I'm calling it! Giant Head's character Roland Banks is going to get devoured by a gate that opens up right at his feet.

Also, I put together a VASSAL setup of this game, just to keep things together visually for myself. If anyone else wants it, I can send the save file.

Speed/Sneak: 5/1 (When we play Arkham at my house, Sneaking is not a thing anyone ever does. I see no reason to change my strategy here, even with having no weapons! I'm a genius.)

Fight/Will: 3/2

Lore/Luck: 3/1

You can use the code tag for fixed-width text. Other than that, looks good.

A lot of us are going to curl up and die at the first sight of a monster. You need at least one of Sneak, Fight, and weapons!

I've edited posts 2 & 3 with info of how we're going to play the game. Any concerns, let me know. I've already pulled the Mythos card and drew the two monsters, and I'll start the start of game post sometime in the next few hours.

Moving Gate that connects to the Dreamlands (+1)

Sorry about the stats thing; I must have copied an older code. It should be up to date now.

Who's on first?

I believe Ursula should already have possession of the Science Building clue — it's an auto-pickup if you're on a space when a clue appears, or start out in the same space as one.
