With the appropriate scenario the maps could be complementary or even engage the investigators more to the story.In this episode, Keeper Murph runs Keepers Dave and Jon through a quick game of Troika! on Serpent's catacombs one specific investigators wondered off resulting in a degenerate appearing next to him and attack him while the rest of the group heard him scream but they couldn't really see where he was in the map unless they were close enough to him. They were really freaking out and clicking the door on the map constantly.Īlso with the maps you can easily get some investigators wandering off which can result in some nice setups.
