Joe Diamond has more experience with supernatural nonsense than most. He has developed a keen intuition and a knack for getting to the bottom of even the most uncanny occurrences, helped in no small part by his willingness to get his hands dirty. But in recent weeks, even Joe has been hard-pressed to stay on top of his work. His desk is flooded with photos of grisly murders and reports of disappearances: people from all walks of life vanishing without a trace. Joe isn't sure how each of these events is connected, but he's not about to let the case go cold.

Reviews

look how they massacred my boy....From one of the most interesting investigators in the entire game with his hunch deck, they made him the most generic investigator ever. Not very innovative for a 10 year old game if you ask me

I think it is fine: Joe is meant to be the Roland/Daisy of the new core set, so he is intetionally design to be really simple to pick up. I do agree this version of him is super boring compared to his chapter 1 version, but he does the job to tutorial new players into the game. — HeroesOfTomorrow · 90

Is this a joke? Nerfing good ol hardboiled Joe down to the ground with similar Milan Christopher's effect but a card draw instead?

Loren ipsum del toro yada yada in order to make this review 200 words long because I am speechless that Fantasy Flight Game not only massacred Joe, but they cut off his manhood and made wimp out of the corpse

Have you actually tried him? Plus one card per turn for doing what you want to do in-class is amazing. And his old signature, the pistols, didn't scale at all. By scenario 4, they couldn't easily take down the monsters and were super expensive. — MrGoldbee · 1529
Not to forget, that they block both of his hands for most other weapons. — Tharzax · 1
"Nerfing" is definitely the wrong wording. They made him powerful in a boring way, that understandably might disappoint seasoned players. — Susumu · 386
