An Age to Remember

The Forgotten Age (or "TFA") is easily the most controversial of the campaigns. I personally liked it, but plenty of people found it frustrating. Luckily, we're almost certain to see Return to the Forgotten Age after Dream-Eaters is done, so FFG has a great chance to redeem the campaign in the eyes of the fans. So, let's get speculating, shall we?

Card Review: The Dream-Eaters

It's the most magical time of the year again: Time for a new AHLCG deluxe expansion! The newest cycle comes with a full roster of exciting investigators (whom I'll be talking about in a separate post) and two keywords. The first of these keywords is Bonded, previewed in Before the Black Throne. I have my own post on that, of course, but to say this expansion threw a curveball at it would be an understatement. In fact, it threw the glove at me, then ran off the mound to play water polo: These new Bonded cards do all sorts of crazy things with the mechanic, to the point where it's now impossible to generalize it. The other keyword is the brand-new Myriad, which lets you take three copies of a given card for the experience cost of one, making it easier to find the card and enabling effects that care about multiple copies of the same card.

This expansion's a bit of an odd one in that it's thoroughly tied to those two mechanics. Every single card I'm about to review either has a Bonded card or is Myriad (or both, in one case). The Dreamlands are weird, and normalcy is but an illusion. Let's dive in!
