Fast and Furious

alt text
Two-handed solo campaign (standard difficulty, taboo Sep-2019) with the aim of maximizing Safeguard (2) and Pathfinder (1) with an investigative duo that has access to both Guardian (2) and Seeker (1).

Featuring Carolyn Fern as Mia Toretto and Roland Banks as Brian O'Conner.

Since I'm going with the bitchiness, I thought... why not bring the cattiness too?

Campaign Notes

Had an awesome run with Carolyn Fern and Roland Banks through Return to the Night of the Zealot and The Circle Undone.
Early campaign, Foolishness was simply an extra copy of Unexpected Courage - until Ancient Stone (4) that is.
It is even more useful with Well Prepared (2) - giving a 1/round +2 to any skill check.
With 2x Safeguard (2) and 2x Pathfinder (1) on both investigators, one or the other investigator usually managed to draw Safeguard (2) and/or Pathfinder (1) (when that didn't happen, there was Stand Together (3) to bail me out).
Summoned Hound (1) was immense in helping to pick up an extra clue most rounds, though eventually Unbound Beast would come in and Roland Banks would have to save the day.
The idea was that Roland Banks would also be able to get a charge on Empty Vessel (4), but that rarely happened.
Early campaign I relied on Alyssa Graham to make sure that it never came into play, but scrapped that in favor of The Black Cat (5) - a decision I regret.

Hindsight

If I were to run Carolyn Fern again, I'd probably ditch the cattiness - the The Black Cat (5) and Foolishness in favor of Spiritual Resolve (5).
Was also kicking myself for dropping Teamwork early on as there were many instances where I wished I had it available. Dodge did save Roland from a rather nasty attack from spoiler though.
Should also have kept Alyssa Graham.

What's Next?

Considering another Fast and Furious run - this time with Dominic Toretto and Brian O'Conner through Return to The Dunwich Legacy.
Gotta ditch the romance and dig the bromance!
