Roland is one of three Investigators in a currently running campaign of Arkham Horror TCG. Originally built from 2xCoreSets, these decks have been reworked to pull form the card pool of all expansions. Each deck is built to cover different aspects of staving off the encroaching doom of the Mythos.

Campaign progress:
The Gathering (5xp) Daisy's House burned to the ground
The Midnight Masks (2xp) The Masked Hunter interrogated, It is past midnight

Roland has 1 Mental Trauma.

Modus operandi: Kick ass. Take names.
Roland's role is to deal with any enemies that threaten the group and to investigate for clues. His combat prowess and late-game potential to do anything (Physical Training & Hyperawareness) makes him a solid front-figure for the group, freeing up the others to do what they do best.

Playing the deck:
Mulligan for any Weapon, any Ally, Physical Training and Hyperawareness
Arkham Horror is a race between the Act deck and the Agenda deck. Roland should be pushing the pace, facing everything head on. Killing off any threats to the group and investigating for clues whenever there isn't. If neither of these can be done; get resources to pay for all those assets.

Problems: Trained and armed to deal with the worst of humanity, Roland has few means to deal with the eldritch machinations of dread that are imposing their will on his world and mind. Everything the Mythos throws at him, Roland will just have to take. Although, he is now Forewarned

Experience choices:
2x Forewarned: In order to deal with Cover Up and to have Roland's .38 Special shine, Roland needs clues on the ground. This card is a way to make that happen, besides being able to cancel a treachery card; crazy good.
1x Charisma: Roland needs backup to tank monsters and cultists for the group.
2x Brother Xavier: Tanky ally with Willpower boost and on-defeat damage to an enemy. Easy choice for Roland.

Experience watch-list:
Stand Together incredible tempo boost for the group
"I've had worse..." turn certain death into econ boost
Beat Cop to replace Beat Cop
Physical Training to replace Physical Training
Hyperawareness to replace Hyperawareness
Pathfinder tempo boost
