Stephanie Richter
Age: 40
Birthday: January 12
Hobbies: photography, cooking
Film credits: 4 (as an extra)
Stephanie has a knack for amateur filmmaking. She enjoys creating short documentaries that she uploads to the internet. A film about that haunted old house would do wonders for her online presence. Stephanie is Sammy’s neighbor. She filmed his first magic show at the elementary school talent night and has been friends with him ever since.


Persephone Puleri
Age: 49
Birthday: April 15
Hobbies: camping, fragrances
Years in business: 15
Persephone runs a local shop called Blessed Botanicals that specializes in all manner of crystals, herbs, and paranormal supplies. The rumors of a local haunted house have certainly been good for business, and she’s been eager to find an excuse to explore the place. Jaden sometimes comes into the shop asking about strange clues that he’s come across.

I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED

We are still taking /in to replace

Feel free to negotiate with your fellow explorers about which characters you want to be.

Checking in as co-mod.

This is the 3rd edition of Betrayal at House on the Hill, released this year. For anyone who's familiar with older versions of the game, please be sure to read the rules - some of them have changed.
Brief summary of the rule changes:
- At the start of the game, players will choose a Scenario card - this gives a thematic reason for entering the haunted house. It's also how we'll decide which Haunt we'll play once the time comes; no more Haunt matrix.
- When rolling to trigger the haunt, the player will roll one die for each Omen card in play; any roll of 5+ will trigger the Haunt.
- There are some new terms that will show up on the cards (General Damage, Heal, Bury, Critical, Special Actions, Line of Sight).
- No more stealing. Explorers can no longer steal on a successful attack roll (unless the Haunt says otherwise).
- When discovering a new room, the player's turn ends (after resolving any effects on the room and the card, if any).
- We will share the basic info of the Haunt with all players - for both Heroes and Traitor - before sequestering the Heroes for their strategy discussion.
- Hidden Haunt info becomes public once used. If the Traitor gets to make Knowledge rolls to unseal the Book of Unspeakable Evil, they'll have to say that's what they're doing the first time they roll to do it.
- If you die, you leave a corpse behind with all your possessions. Other explorers can loot your corpse freely.

Characters have been updated with stat blocks. I'll put in the pictures later tonight!

/confirm

Do we think we could make the statblocks have the actual current stat like red or green or something than just bold? Apparently my eyes are refusing to tell the difference in the small table. Maybe if they were just also italicized it might work.

I'm also open to negotiating once I can actually see what the stats are and are sure my pick won't conflict with one someone wants really strongly since I'm so high up the choose list.

I've switched them from bold to bold red. Does that look any better?

Missed signups but will follow this

Nm, will look at them later and decide.

I actually know something about herbs, so Anita maybe?

I can answer those.
1) None of the characters have any special abilities to start with. During the game, players can draw cards that will grant them special abilities.
2) Stats do a few different things:
- Various events in-game will require you to roll against a stat - the higher that stat is, the more likely you are to succeed in the roll. The exact stat varies from event to event.
- Sometimes you'll take damage. Physical damage forces you to lose either Might or Speed; Mental damage forces you to lose either Knowledge or Sanity; General damage forces you to lose any stat of your choice. You might take damage to a particular stat. Once the Haunt starts, if you are forced to take damage that puts any stat into the X territory, you die and are eliminated from the game.
- Speed controls how many tiles you can move on your turn.
- Might controls combat, both attacking and defending.
- Knowledge and Sanity don't do anything specific (other than the general stuff above), unless something in-game says otherwise.

Oh well in that case, how do we decide?

The only rule to picking is that the characters are grouped in pairs -
Josef & Oliver
Stephanie & Persephone
Jaden & Sammy
Isa & Anita
Warren & Dan
Michelle & Brittani

When someone picks a character, no one may pick the other character of the pair. So if someone picks Michelle, nobody can pick Brittani - and vice versa.

With six players, there'll be one member of each pair in play.

Other than that, it's a case of personal preference.

Activity rules:

If it's your turn, you've got 48 hours to take your turn. You can talk with everyone as much as you like to get advice, but nobody is obligated to give advice, or to do so in a timely manner. Especially if you're the Traitor.
If you run out of time, we'll prod you. Please don't make us do this too often.
If you still don't take your turn within another 48 hours, we'll start looking for someone to replace you.
Timer pauses on US holidays.

Exciting, i haven't played this version before
