I want to be happy that someone maybe found a use case for Ace Of Rods, but mostly I'm outraged at the thought of someone Time Warp-ing a Testing Sprint. BTW you have to take basic Investigate tests since Testing Sprint has the bold Investigate keyword on it. — Pseudo Nymh · 67 5/15/24

I'd include Vantage Point as a synergy here - Dream-Gate normally doesn't have clues on it so that first Testing Sprint investigation would be wasted. Vantage Point fixes that. — TheNameWasTaken · 3 5/15/24

This can turn Amanda into pre-taboo Rex. — MrGoldbee · 1493 5/15/24

@TheNameWasTaken: I'd say Vantage Point is a strong synergy with Luke / Gate Box anyway, but I added it to the list nonetheless ;) — AlderSign · 407 5/17/24

You can totally Black Market a Will to Survive in this combo. The net effect is kinda meh, it's a janky Deciphered Reality, suffering all the same problems Deciphered Reality has. — suika · 9506 5/17/24

Surely Hemispheric Map is finally a consideration in this setup — subzerojosurvivor · 1 5/18/24

Also, a weird interaction comes to mind when playing Testing Sprint in pre-taboo Rex Murphy. — AlderSign · 407 6/13/24

@AlderSign you could also use written in the stars to add deduction, perception, etc to all the tests. Scroll of secets makes it less random. — Rafael_Rupert · 1 6/29/24

@Rafael_Rupert, #Written in Stars in Norman's hands plus this event can be quite powerful. — bugiel_marek · 24 7/9/24

If you have Close the circle you can do all of those investigates with willpower. And save one action. — Drostt · 152 7/12/24

@Rafael_Rupert: Or Defiance (2). Or Enraptured to power that Box ;) — AlderSign · 407 8/22/24

@Drostt: Playing Testing Sprint is not a basic action, plus Close the Circle with only 2 charges? Dunno... — AlderSign · 407 8/22/24

What if you draw Detached from Reality during one of the investigation tests? Does the Testing Sprint just stop? Can you test the "new" Dream Gate again if you didn't test a 7 shroud location yet? — WarriorR · 37 1/10/25

Disregard my last comment, of course is the play action a basic action. @WarriorR: As I read it you would test the new Dream Gate as your last eligable location, then it stops. I think you might be right about the shroud, though. — AlderSign · 407 2/24/25
