Here are some Arkham related community resources that i enjoy. This is in no way meant to be a full list, just some links that i myself frequent. All these are sites that are active still and are still getting new entries.
Community Hangouts
Want to talk to other players? Go here.
The Mythos Busters Discord – (Link) – The Discord channel of the Mythos Busters podcast grew to be pretty much “the place to be” for much of the community and you can find not only the Mythos Busters themselves here but also most of the other content creators (including myself of course) that are active in the channels. Make sure to read the rules first and you will find this to be an inviting and pleasant place to hang around and chat about the game, no matter if you are there as a new player or as a veteran.
The arkhamhorrorlcg subreddit – (Link) – Reddit.com is a fairly awful site overall and continuously getting worse… but some of its subreddits are islands in its simultanously over- and undermoderated hellscape. The AHLCG subreddit is one such place that is not as toxic as most of the site is and worth following for links to other places, possibly even participating in some of the discussions. Just… you know… it’s still Reddit. Don’t take it too seriously.
Podcasts
I am not a podcast person myself, preferring written content or videos over pure audio. As a result, i don’t follow any of them on an episode to episode base. But here are a few podcasts that i have listened to here and there and that i enjoyed.
Mythos Busters – (Link) – The most well-known podcast for AHLCG with a history that goes back all the way to the start of the game. The hosts chat about a variety of topics and have a very laid-back, casual vibe to them that i like.
Drawn to the Flame – (Link) – The other big podcast for the game, with literally hundreds of episodes. Similar to the MB podcast in the casual vibe, the two hosts are easy to listen to.
The Restricted Collection – (Link) – Covers other boardgames (and videogames) as well as Arkham. More analytical and less “chatty” than the two big podcasts and as such carved itself a solid niche.
Video/Stream
YouTube has a lot of channels that upload Arkham-related content on a regular base. Personally i am not terribly interested in Let’s Play type of videos, but there’s a good amount of analysis, card talk, list videos etc around that make for a good watch. These are the channels that i watch regularly:
PlayingBoardGames – (Link) – This channel has produced an enormous amount of videos over the years and still releases four or more Arkham related videos each week, from actual plays over list videos to deck discussions and archetype guides. The three main hosts for the Arkham part of the channel are covering a lot of different view points between them, giving their card discussions a lot of range.
Quick Learner – (Link) – Has possibly the best videos when it comes to explaining rules and discussing game mechanics. Well structured videos with a good script and easy to follow. I learned a bunch here, too.
Written Content
Sadly there’s not as much around in this category as i’d wish for, part of why i even made my own site. But there is at least some stuff around worth bookmarking and keeping tabs on.
Strength in Numbers – (Link) – The blog of a rather large group of players that has an interesting mix of decklists, fanfiction and card analysis.
The Barnaby Files – (Link) – Investigator articles and card analysis, often pulling references from other LCGs or Arkham Files games in addition to the AHLCG. Quality over Quantity, there’s not a lot of articles on the site, but the stuff that’s there is worth checking out for sure.
Mysterious Chanting – (Link) – A site that collects custom content. Here you can find descriptions and downloads for many of the fan-made scenarios and investigator expansions that are around, usually written by the same person that designed them.
Karkham Horror – (Link) – This site publishes reviews and impressions of fan-made campaigns (and is thus a good complement to my stuff which does this only for official content) in a thorough way. Reviews are split into spoilerfree and full spoilers, so it’s useful both as a way to determine if you want to play a campaign (and potentially spend money on it) and if you want to compare notes after you played it yourself. It also collects and displays a number of fan-made player card expansions.
Rite of Seeking – (Link) – Think “The Onion”, but for ArkhamLCG. Yes, somehow this game has its own satire site. And it’s glorious. Oh, and there’s some actual non-satire deck discussion mixed in there as well.
Utility
ArkhamDB – (Link) – An online deckbuilder, deck browser and card catalogue. Very useful if you want to browse other people’s decks. Some regulars on ArkhamDB use the site to publish deck guides, some post extensive reviews. Can be a genuinely great source of info but you need to find it among all of the thousands of decks that accumulated over the years. A personal highlight that i use constantly is their Rules page which collates all of the rules from the various expansions into one easily searchable page. Incredibly useful.
arkham.build – (Link) – A very new site, this is a sleek deckbuilder that concentrates on just that part: Allowing you to browse the cards and build your decks online. Doesn’t have all the extra community features that ArkhamDB has, but you can follow links from a.b directly to ADB.
Hall of Arkham – (Link) – Here you can find lists of releases, links to current FAQs and all sorts of community resources and links.
Inexorable Fate – (Link) – If you want to spend money on getting custom fan-made expansions printed, it can be a lengthy and annoying process to upload the cards one by one into the interfaces of a printing service. Inexorable Fate is a website that, through a browser plugin you can download there, allows easy ordering of almost all fan-made content through the manufacturer makeplayingcards.com. Make sure to read the Help section thoroughly and it will guide you through getting this set up.
Strange Eons – (Link) – If you want to create your own custom cards, this is the Editor app that most people use to do it. Note that you will need a specific plugin for the Arkham Horror card templates and such.
