One thing that bothered me about calling Arkham a story based game is how 'separated' the actions and mainly card draws felt from any kind of story arch.Random adventure: You meet a monster in dreamland, this happens to you. Next event something not related to what is happening at all. Random item etc.
Shuffling in the event deck is brilliant like you mentioned.
And pulling out specific invention cards when certain places on the island are discovered.
I know there is a lot of random in both games but RC seems more cohesive to me as far as the story goes.
Good review
