Timber Peak - is it worth it?

[jeffd1830]

Timber Peak has a lot of really awesome features! As I see it, they are:

* Fire tokens and fire rules!!! Including cards in the decks that cause fires to break out.
* Tokens for the experience system and upgrade decks. Although you also get this with Blood in the Forest, this set has about twice as many upgrade cards.
* L-Boards with Trees on them (really function the same as manor house stairway, but in more places)
* Tree markers.
* Generators!!! (Used in some scenarios with pretty neat rules.)
* The radio station center board
* Alice the Diner Waitress, Nikki the Bush Pilot, and Ed Baker the Lumberjack. These characters are superb for adding more roleplaying fun into the mix.
* The fact that it turns LNoE into a thinly veiled homage to the Twin Peaks television series (a concept which is continued by Blood in the Forest) giving you access to hours of slightly tangential, not quite applicable back-story for alternate-universe variations of all the characters.
* The printed rulebook for Timber Peak is a nicer roll-up of previous rules, and has many small improvements and clarifications over the base game. It is the better rulebook to have if you're trying to introduce new players to the game.
* Four new scenario cards, and access to one more Free Web Scenario that requires TP in order to play it.
