Alesssandra has quickly catapulted herself into my top 4 favorite investigators. I wasn't sure I'd even like her when I began but I find her playstyle to be incredibly fun.
@@KrishnaRoskin I'm playing her as cluever. I'll note that I basically threw every card that said "parley" into the deck. I wasn't trying to optimize her, just see what she's like as a baseline. And she's pretty good. But she's really, really fun. But I do struggle quite a bit when I don't find my Fine Clothes. Alessandra's stats are not mind-blowing, so I find that she needs the -2 difficulty from Fine Clothes.
@@davidko9289 That's not a bad idea to do a one-off Backpack. You can use it to search for False Credentials, Fox mask, Fine clothes and Lockpicks if you have it included.
Playing her in hemlock vale, she seems very swingy. If the scenario doesnt give you ways to parley, shes feels like Trish or Finn but like 20% worse at level 0: without fine clothes you feel pretty inconsistent, and most parley cards at 0 are still pretty bad. Her card pool is also much worse, not getting level 0 seeker book boosts hurt a lot.
The deck is built with just the revised core set and The Feast of Hemlock Vale player card set. Unfortunately, Fine Clothes isn't included in that card pool.
Bianca actually pays you so you do a little dance for her while she sings (foot test) failing that test means your dancing was awful so she wants her money back.
I just completed a run of The Feast with this character solo, a few scenarios (Mainly the longest night) were too much for me but overall she is really strong. Grift, Stir the Pot, and her signature cards were very strong, and let you interact with the enemies in a different way than when you normally play solo with an evasive investigator. Bewitching and Kick the Hornets' nest tho are what really make her pop. Kicking into a weak enemy and gaining resources and clues to then put a Beguile on it and use it as a puppet is RIDICULOUS. I'm afraid it has spoiled me from wanting to play solo with anyone else... except Wendy :P
You know, Hank's favorite type of action is Par-ley
New-ish player and I'm doing a blind run through forgotten age with her. Talking to snakes is OP

How did you play her? Flex? Cluer?

@@tcr7Is it crazy to put Backpack in order to search for Fine Clothes? And play them as the last card to replace the empty Backpack?
@@davidko9289 Backpack works, as does Friends in Low Places. Friends is probably a little better. And no, I don't think it's crazy at all.

Probably in my top 3 favourite investigators now. Love her
I want a stall for time art that is the scene from young Frankenstein
Rex Murphy cannot be Well-Dressed or Well-Funded.
Would love for you to cover the news of Arkham Horror RPG.
I thought you were gonna say "thematic Arkham horror cards"
I'll likely be covering it in the future. :)

Is there also gonna be a ”Notable Cards for…” series for the Hemlock Investigators?
One day we'll be returning to the notable card videos, but we haven't finalized what form that'll take yet.
No Fine Clothes?

@@PlayingBoardGames ah, i kind of missed that

Why does it feel like you guys are scared of Travis
Because you're seeing something that isn't there?
I heard Russell really dislikes Travis. You can tell by the way Russell rubs against him in a hostile manner.
Because of his massive guns
@@PlayingBoardGames I was just making a bad joke, sorry if it sounded mean
@@MattCrawley_Music i think I am the one scared of him (I play ursula)
