Arkham Society detachment ideas

[shmitty]

I was thinking it would be fun to build a detachment around the Arkham Society. Of all of the OORD departments, it was the most intriguing as I read the book.

I am not too sure how I would set it up though. An Arkham Agent unit type or Hero Type would have been a lot of fun, but that is not presently an option.

The OORD Agent seems like a fit, but thematically his items are not a very good fit with the Mythos. Also, he is there to unlock units, which I don't see the detachment having other occult units, just hunting them.

Anyone else done anything with the Arkham Society or have any ideas?

We'll be expanding the OORD and MoAA quite a bit in upcoming books. I know Chris is pretty keen to go with a special Faustus variant on the OORD agent. Probably no change stat-wise, just a different batch of gear options. The Arkham Society equivalent would be much the same. Though, I think it could be interesting to have them 'fighting fire with fire' if it can be done in a non-cheezy fashion.

Sounds very cool. I will look forward to seeing that in action. Actually, if you need any playtesting help with those, just let me know.

As a personal fan of the Prometheans, I can get behind this idea.
