Does Timber Peak seem worth it? and Concerns on the L-shaped Boards

[StayPuft]

As far as whether certain charactes are dead or not, there are definitely hints within the original game (characters appearing as zombies on certain cards, etc.), but I don't think there are necessarily any legitimate, in cannon answers. I am sure they intentionally left this ambiguous, and left it kind of up to us fans to discuss. The reason for that would likely be so you can choose to assume your favorites lived if you so desire, and thereby still have the option to use them in Timber Peak.

Think of it like this... As you play the game more and more, characters are going to die sometimes you play and live others. For example, say you play a bunch with Father Joseph. Sometimes he will die, sometimes he will live. You can change his story every time you play. So, I wouldn't necessarily say that him being a zombie in one of the cards means he probably died.

That said, it is definitely a lot of fun to speculate, and play detective. ;-)
