This is a personal, largely spoiler free (or spoiler-vague) review of the Idol Thoughts fan-made campaign by MJGrenier for Arkham Horror the Card Game.
Idol Thoughts is an unfinished, four scenario campaign set in New York, that involves the investigators being unwittingly brought into schemes around a magical relic. This takes them to fancy parties, New York's chinatown, a cruise, and the beaches of France on what ends up being a disappointing adventure.
Idol Thoughts starts strong, with a scenario that's reminicent of the Dunwich Horror's The House Always Wins, but more involved. It's a promising start - but suffers from the fact that the next scenarios are all of weaker deisgn, and don't do enough to distinguish themselves goal wise (being a flavor of "find the thing, and then resign"), and where they do it ends up in negative ways. The third scenario is just frustrating - you need to get all the clues from two locations to advance, but enemies add more clues, and other encounter cards are placed elsewhere on the map which then add extra doom unless those clues are dealt with, too. It leads you running back and forth between the two locations, hoping for a lucky break in the encounter cards so you can get ahead, with not much actual variation in the actual for the entire scenario.
The second scenario in particular needs to be mentioned. Called "Enter the Dragon", it involves the investigators looking for a kidnapped man in chinatown. It hits every overdone trope imaginable, and is dripping with yellow peril imagery to the point of ridiculousness. It just feels like an awful, embarassing scenario to play, and absolutely does not need to be here.
The writing and story in Idol Thoughts is also a mixed bag - the prose itself and the set-up isn't too bad, but it's got noticable typos, and it often misses the mark when it comes to establishing the important where and what questions, instead going for flavorful fluff - the writing could be good, but just doesn't do the work it needs.
Overall, Idol Thoughts is a miss, and just doesn't make itself worth the effort.
