I really love the Core Set of the AH LCG! Now I want to dig deeper without ending up poor. What are my options?

Good thing: I‘m just a casual gamer. I could get it to the table probably once a week max for an hour or two. That‘s why i can squeeze months of fun out of a set.

But how do I proceed in 2023? There are mythos packs, scenarios, campaigns, cycles, deluxe editions, return to editions…?!

It get‘s more complicated: I‘m from Germany and want to play the sets, that are released here in german.

What I already own:

  • 1st edition core set <— only box I played yet
  • 1st edition Dunwich set
  • 1st edition Carcosa set (someone sold these 3 for 25€)

My questions:

  • I don‘t own any mythos packs or anything else. So Dunwich and Carcosa are incomplete, right? Should I sell them? Because:
  • Tracking down „old“ (German!) mythos packs to complete the sets I own could end up very expensive and difficult, right?
  • The return to-editions are cheap here, but it doesn‘t make sense to play them, if I don‘t own the standard cycles, right?
  • The „new“ campaign/investigator expansions are probably the easiest way to get another set, but they are kind of expensive (~50€ each). Still cheaper then buying every single mythos pack (15-25€ each), right?

    Oh, I just remembered as I played one of these last week. There are a lot of standalone scenarios which are cheaper. Searching „Arkham Horror Einzelszenario" should reveal these. They cost about 20-30€ each which is expensive for a single scenario but I find that some have a lot of replayability. The three I have played are Karneval des Schreckens, Mord im Excelsior-hotel, and Der Blob, der alles fraß. All are fantastic.

    Googling the standalone scenarios, I found a free fan-made cruise ship scenario which is print and play. Unfortunately, it is only available in English. Perhaps if printing is an option for you, you could find some scenarios this way.

    Edit: I did the googling and found pages dedicated to fan made scenarios here and here.
