The homebrew community for Arkham is just incredible. While designing my campaign I had a bunch of good conversations about design on Discord, and the feedback I've received from the community has helped make Ages Unwound what it is. It's no coincidence that the average Arkham custom content is *really good*.
I haven't kept up with the homebrew scene for a bit, have you been updating the campaign? I've played Ages Unwound last April and remember really enjoying it, so it might be the next campaign I get printed now that I have Dark Matter and Arkham in Wonderland.
@@itsevenow6613 One major update (reworked one scenario and tweaked several others), a few bits of tinkering, it's now near-final - it'll probably get some minor errata in a couple of months and then I'll stamp it as finished.
Thanks for the exposure you are giving to custom content, which I am coming to appreciate more and more lately. Really fun to see the work people out there have put into designing these new campaigns, scenarios, and player cards.
Also, do you know anywhere that has premade decklists (like ArkhamDB) for custom player cards? I want to try out some of the Mass Effect or Bad Batch investigators in the Machining a a Mystery campaign and would love suggested deck or two for those investigators.
So glad that you called out the writing for the Wonderland campaign. I actually found a few of the scenarios a bit fiddly (looking at you tea party). But the writing and thematic elements are really a flawless combination of Arkham and Wonderland. If there was such a thing as Wonderland canon I think that The Beard’s story here would have to be included.
Custom Content being enjoyable without knowing the source material is high praise. Folks have had success ordering online physical copies of custom cards, although the link escapes me.
Have a New topic for you. This is mostly for new players. If only buying Character Expansions - Rank Which one’s new players should get…. Like in what order! This applies to the new format of course.
I was recently reading about a Bloodborne themed custom campaign, which would combine two of my favorite games (Arkham and Bloodborne) so I’m hoping that one turns out fun
@Nick Delarosbil The creator was posting about it on the Arkham Horror Reddit. He says 7 of the 8 scenarios are up, and he’s asking people to help beta test it. He’s got a download link for it on his Reddit posts
Thanks for pointing out some great custom content! I look forward to trying out the campaigns especially! My only problem with the custom investigators is the dissonance from having the Star Wars clone troopers running around 1920s Arkham. But it could also be fun for that
There are print on demand services that some people use (e.g. MakePlayingCards), but home printing is more common. I like cutting the cards while watching TV or similar - it gives you something to pay attention to instead of reading all the cards you're cutting.
@@oliviareubens1468 excellent. I have made some pnp games, but one worry with arkham is that pnp cards might be noticeably different from the cards I have and this could effect gameplay. Maybe this isn't a huge issue if all the cards are sleeved though? Or maybe you have some advice regarding this?
@@seantilson8728 Sleeving helps a lot, but I've never felt it to be too much of an issue? The only difference likely to be noticeable is whether the top card of the encounter deck is homebrew or not, and even if you don't just ignore that, it's not a significant piece of information.
That was one of the earliest and most well rounded custom scenarios. I actually paid to have that printed. It is just one scenario but it is well done.

I'm hoping to get Ages Unwound on my channel in the next few months. I am looking forward to playing it.

@@oliviareubens1468 I'll keep an eye out for that final stamp of completion then. Good luck!

Call of the Plaguebearer is amazing!
It is!
I got to play a scenario with the designer. Great design and great person. The custom stuff really brings out the best in this community.
Just a comment to boost engagement. Video was good. I still want a way to print those first 2 campaigns for a reasonable price.

I'm very excited for that one.
Really where?
Is it out?
@@Alienmen1 I believe it's still in testing.

Been hoping for a video like this. Looking forward to you sharing some more recommendations for custom content ^^
Great recommendations! I should play these and maybe one day make another fan trailer.
Loved this vid! hope to see more suggestions!

It seems like building a pnp arkham campaign would be weirs/hard. Do I cut out the cards with my eyes closed? Or do you have to order it?

I’ve been looking to develop my own custom content, hopefully I’ll have something to show soon
I'm looking forward to playing it!
The custom shit is the shit
Great video, thanks
Anyone jnows about some custom cards expansions for print? I have heard there are some
Good stuff. Is there a way to get custom content like these in paper form? They look interesting.
Just a question. Where do you find these custom campaign? Renaud from Paris
In the description you can find a link to the release notes for each campaign. The investigator cards currently are digital only.
Yes. I like this
Anyone given Against the Wendigo a try?
