For the Dunwich campaign with Daisy. Jenny's even stats make her an interesting character, and I thought it might be interesting to try to boost them, if possible.
Weaponry:
- Obviously, Jenny's Twin .45s will be the main weapons. This means keeping hands clear.
- .41 Derringers to improve the weapon density of the deck.
Assets:
- Holy Rosary to improve
- Arcane Studies to allow boosting of any stat with Hard Knocks.
- Pickpocketing to keep supplied with cards. I'm planning on her being evasive, but able to hit hard when her guns are in play.
- Lone Wolf to further increase the resource supply. With Streetwise this could be pretty helpful.
- Lucky Dice to make Jenny a little bit lucky.
Allies:
- Beat Cop as she'll be the main fighter (otherwise Dr. Milan Christopher would be a nice choice)
- Cat Burglar to boost and keep her mobile. I preferred this mobility over the straight extra action of Leo De Luca
- Charisma to allow 2 to be in play at once...
Events:
- Elusive for mobility and awkward Searching for Izzie draws
- Sure Gamble is always useful
-
Think on Your Feet to avoid trouble
- Adaptable 'cos that's how Jenny rolls...
Upgrades
- Upgraded Switchblade could be very useful.
- Hired Muscle instead of Beat Cop? Maybe?

7: Where Doom Awaits...
Boy, did we need more weaponry. Entered the Gate Killed off Servant of the Lurker and Seth Bishop. Daisy didn't get one offensive card out the whole game, but did do all the investigating. Really needed more firepower, though. Daisy cleared The Necronomicon, but Jenny failed to clear Searching for Izzie; it was on Sentinel Peak, but 2 Conglomeration of Spheres were approaching, Daisy was low on cards with Beyond the Veil down, and Jenny had 1 ammo in her guns. Pushing for the victory was safer. Time wasn't too bad.
6: Undimensioned and Unseen
Hmm. Might've got all the brood, but the encounter deck never threw a 4th one out. They did have spare time. Both Jenny and Daisy were pretty horrified by the end. Jenny managed to get +2 with Cat Burglar and Earl Sawyer out, and Pickpocket - so also drew 2 for each evade. Nifty.
Daisy with Pathfinder is also pretty awesome as she's effectively got 5 actions a lot of the time.
Whippoorwills were a pain.
5: Blood on the Altar
Very close finish! Jenny and Daisy had one horror remaining each. Bulletproof Vests and Holy Rosary were used multiple times. Jenny won at the last minute by killing Silas Bishop with her last shot.
Jenny drew off a bunch of hunters then used Elusive to escape.
4: Essex County Express
Got through to the engine and got it started. Bit of a struggle, time wise; Jenny would have to move first, clear out enemies, and then Daisy follow and grab clues. No major issues, though.
3: Miskatonic Museum
Beat the hunting horror a couple of times, by both Daisy and Jenny. Scrying with Daisy actually kept it nicely under control while she hoovered up clues - it was very useful. Cleared Searching for Izzie too. Pretty straight forward, to be honest.
Took the The Necronomicon - mostly 'cos Daisy Like Tomes. I'm hoping that it proves useful (resources might be nice).
2: "House Always Wins"
Mostly, this was about Jenny; she paid for the early clues to get into the back rooms of the club, and then fought her way back to rescue Peter Clover. Daisy helped with some light Shrivelling, but mostly this was about Jenny, 2 guns, and a load of ammunition. Paying allies for clues is quite handy, too. Cleared the The Necronomicon too.
Got Dr. Henry Armitage.
1: Extracurricular Activity
Jenny killed a lot of Thralls, and the duo saved the students. Both decks were starting to look a little thin with 'Beyond the Veil' in play. "Jazz" Mulligan was hiding pretty much at the bottom of the deck. It turns out that Old Book of Lore is not so useful when your draw is quite limited. Oh, and Identified the Strange Solution. (I'd still like to know what it does!)
