Whoa so they're mixing up the structure of Arkham products quite a lot! Just a 3-scenario campaign kicking off chapter 2 after the core set.

I bet this is gonna be unpopular but I kinda dig it. I've been enjoying the shorter campaign tend in gaming lately (slay the spire, arcs, etc). #paxunplugged

Just got to that part! So that's something.

Ok at least Carolyn switches it up, in these new starter decks.

One of my all time favorites too!

Pretty good list but forbidden island's tin box should be disqualifying

He does jazz piano performances sometimes in LA, I've seen him live!

...then it immediately puts them in a game together where only one of the four can survive. And it's more of a drawn out suspense as you watch it play out thinking they'll all find a way out, but no, only one of the four "main" characters really does make it out of the first game alive.

It was more sudden in Derry. Getting more spoilery:

I'm referring to a death games show (along the lines of Squid Game) where it spends the whole first episode establishing a group of friends, showing flashbacks to all their shitty lives, showing us how much they care about one another and regrets.

It's a non-english Netflix show. Just released another season after a couple years' break.

There's another show that did very much the same thing recently (I won't mention what and spoil that show, iykyk I guess) so that dampened it some for me. Still a fun way to start the series though.
