I suppose I ought to stick my head in here and say hello: Just starting out with the game as of Christmas, where I got the Core Set and the first Dunwich box. Haven't touched Dunwich, but really like what I've played of The Night of the Zealot (and very much aware that it's generally regarded that those scenarios are somewhat weaker than those that come later!)
I've clearly been bitten by the bug - through both this thread and research elsewhere I've done my first big non-gifted AH purchase of a bunch of essentials (i.e. second Core, coin capsules, a few packs of sleeves, the standalone scenarios), and that's led me to a couple of questions that don't seem to be among the usual frequently asked ones, so hopefully folks here could offer a bit of insight:
* I know Return to the Night of the Zealot hasn't been hugely well-received, but I have something of a completionist mindset, so I'll probably pick it up anyway. As such, then, how is it as a storage solution? While it's currently early-days enough that I can easily cram stuff into the Core box, I'm going to guess that that isn't going to last forever! Pictures at least make it look like it's a pretty expansive box, and seems (at least from my estimation!) somewhat larger than the Scenario/Encounter cards alone would suggest.
* I mentioned being a completionist... what about the books? I gather they have some cards on occasion, although frequently described as 'previews', so I assume they're investigators who hadn't been released when the book was; anything interestingly unique buried amongst them? And, for that matter, how are they actually as books!?
* Are there any particularly stand-out fan campaigns? They're mentioned in passing in the OP, but there's no real recommendations there.
* I think my chaos tokens are faulty; I'm sure I just put one tentacle token into the bag, but it appears to multiply in there exponentially. Should I submit a bug report?
