Following the theme of oddities, chose Survivor as the Secondary class instead of Guardian, which is arguably stronger.

Primary reason for this choice is due to playing on hard difficulty, which means Lucky! and Live and Learn see much more play than I'd care to admit
The presence of Carolyn Fern also mitigates the need for Extra Ammunition (1) as Carolyn Fern will be distributing both it and Custom Ammunition (3), which was of great help.

On hindsight, Tony's strong 5 was still insufficient for hard difficulty, though this is mitigated somewhat with Well Connected and High Roller.


The Forgotten Age (Oddities Collaborative)

4-handed solo run through The Forgotten Age (taboo compliant; hard difficulty)
Investigators: Carolyn Fern, Joe Diamond, Norman Withers, and Tony Morgan

Weirdly, I selected Multiplayer as the tag but it appears as solo instead.
Not quite sure why but there seems to be a bug here.
