Start here if you are new
Make investigations reliable first
The Study still has clues, and you are not engaged；Compare the action cost of equipping a Flashlight with the benefit of reduced difficulty；Committed cards and items improve this test's success chance, without guaranteeing success；Equipping also costs resources and 1 action；If only one safe investigation remains and time is short, try it directly
Deal with engaged enemies first
A ready enemy is engaged with you；Compare defeating it with evading and leaving；Reduce extra attacks of opportunity and preserve health and sanity；Evading offers only temporary safety; the enemy remains；Defeat it if you can deal enough damage; consider evading if you must move quickly
Turn clues into progress
You have 4 clues but are outside the Foyer；Plan your return to the Foyer, then deal with the Boss that advancement brings；Carrying clues does not automatically open Act II；Returning costs actions and may bring enemy encounters；If resources or condition are insufficient, make one necessary preparation first
Details that are easy to miss
This site's Letters in the Fog: five locations, two acts, nine doom; not a complete LCG campaign; the player count and duration on this page are shown according to this site's trial-play mode.
A decision example
The teaching location has shroud 3, intellect 3, 1 clue remaining, and no enemies; spend one action to begin investigating. Commit one card with a matching icon for +1, and the teaching fixed draw is −1; skill 3+1−1=3. The modified skill reaches the shroud value of 3; location clues −1, held clues +1.
Can you decide to commit a hand card now?
Commit first, reveal next, then resolve.
How rules shape tradeoffs
Committed cards and items improve this test's success chance, without guaranteeing success
Site hypothetical analysis: removing this constraint would remove the original waiting or resource cost for the same opportunity. This is not an official variant.
