You missed a critical component: choosing investigators who give you story options. Certain story options are only available to particular investigators and that's our #1 consideration when choosing an investigator. Silver Twilight - Preston & Diana have this trait. Not only does this give them backstories that makes playing the campaign way more interesting, but the story asks whether you have this trait. I've played TCU with both and did wonderfully. Diana is wonderful with her cancel effects. I played the Return-To version with Preston, so a little milder on the willpower treacheries, but between 'you handle this one', 'counterespionage', and well-connected, you could probably do the basic too. Detective/Police/Agency - there's a thing only these investigators can do in the campaign Sorcerer/Miskatonic/Scholar - again, no spoilers, but there's something only these investigators can do Sorcerer/Silver Twilight/Cultist - a particular option is restricted to this group Mystic - there's some extra text that only they can read

Perfect timing! I'm just about to start my first 2 handed play through of TCU and was trying to find that 2nd investigator to play with Diana. Gave me lots of good things to think about!

Always good to hear your thoughts on best investigators. Currently using Harvey in my TCU run and he has been great.

Skidds is bonkers good in Circle Undone, especially a big money Skidds build. Evades lots of witches and can use his 2 resources for an extra action ability to efficiently clear out his own and everyone else's willpower treachery cards. I was blown away by how good he is in this campaign. Just...wow.

My group is planning to run TCU this summer, and 2 of my homies want to run Luke and Calvin already, so I appreciate this video. I think I'll run Harvey alongside them. Thanks for another great video, and I hope whatever life issues that are preventing Travis from joining you aren't bringing him down!

I would add that you need polyvalent investigators in this campaign, most scenarios will ask you to be able to fight AND investigate (sometimes alone, separated from the others !) :)

1:50 We now have a printed 6 stat (sorta) with Resolute Hank Samson!!

7:25 cards "set aside" are "out of play" (the "In Play and Out of Play" paragraph of the RR directly states that). Cards that are put into play next to the Agenda deck or Act deck are... well the text itself says to put them "into play" so of course those are in play.

I would like to see you guys do a list of investigator classes, either by personal preference or overall strength of each class.

Aschan Pete is also in that category "Investigators that have good movement". I'm now playing Dark Horse Aschan True Solo and I usually end up having spare 5 turns left to do anything I want. Actually, he falls in all of the other categories, tbh.

Just got this

I love how this starts with brain good , feet good, and I'm running Joe diamond (notably without owning the full package for him that comes with edge of the earth) oh well

My group plays each campaign with it's set of investigators. I was looking forward to playing a dark horse Preston, but this video has me doubting it. :/

What scenario is Calvin a god in? It almost sounded like Bryn was talking about Dim Carcosa

My boyfriend and I are playing as Sefina (me) and Joe Diamond (him) and we (I mean he) keep getting our asses kicked because the mythos deck. I tried to talk him into playing someone else for this one but he is stubborn lol.

Is Travis not doing videos anymore?

So, Travis is out? I kinda miss him =(
