Yeah, 3 is the one I’m most excited for, followed by 4 because I love dumb stuff like Jason X. And I do love the Tempt Fate mechanic, so 1 is also calling my name.
Looked everything over this morning. Wow, so many exciting additions. It seems more geared towards going all-in than I had thought. LOOOOOVE the idea that someone could be Otis.
The Rated-R one is the only one I’m on the fence about. I like the idea of how you’re killed being more fleshed out, but damn, some of it is extreme in ways not completely befitting of the genre (the MPAA had it out for slashers, especially F13, this stuff is like the kinds of things that got cut so that they could get a R rating). Not a huge fan of the Cutter Survival card, bit of a sensitive subject.
I'm very skeptical of box 5/Rated R on both on mechanical and content levels. Punishing the table even more for dying, having a character that profits from it, and then having that character possibly turn traitor is pretty offputting. Doesn't flow with what CG is good at.
That said the other 4 boxes look fantastic and can be tossed right in with no issue. 4/5 ain't bad.
Oh for sure, it being too easy sucks and I'm fine with losing. But I think throwing in the self preservation cards, possible traitor, and new nasty red cards is enough to make it tougher without adding Snuffed cards to penalize the table every time someone keels over.
Plus I'm not really into Jason as a character. His gimmick is exclusively fun for him and no one else. Now if everyone had a chance to snap and go murderous? Maybe!
I jumped in as well, although I opted it out of 3 & 5 based on discussions here. I don't ever want to play with OTIS as a player, and the Rated R stuff doesn't appeal to me.
