Well done. I suspected that

Spoiler important

× "bunch of nonsense"

could be exploited, but not to this extent. Congrats! :)

The only possible stop point would happen when:

Spoiler important

×you draw "bad 666" as the last 666 card, apply "bunch of nonsense" to discard it, return the past, and then draw "bad 666" again. That's bound to happen a few times if you're going to do the whole jig some 100 times. (how many exp are the advanced skills worth in total?)

There is an easily exploitable combination when using Lovecraft to spend 0 energy doing a small loop of checks to earn infinite experience and purchase every advanced skill.

Spoiler important

×If you have the special discard pile standee and select the "bunch of nonsense"
side. Anytime you have "Dark Whispers" in your hand you can pray at any of the graveyards that reveal a 091 card.

Dark Whispers gives you the success necessary to succeed the 091 check with no energy. Whichever 091 card you reveal makes you reveal a 666 card.

If you reveal the "you have apparently disturbed a tormented spirit" use the discard pile power to "discard a card with the keyword specter that they have just revealed, without applying any related effects. In that case, they must immediately take a 666 card."

If you reveal either of the other 666 cards, either it is harmless or Dark Whispers let's you succeed the check with no energy.

You may then resolve the 091 card. One of them doesn't do much, but the other 091 card let's you take any card from the discard pile or deck with the will or aggressiveness keyword and add it to your hand.

If you select Lovecraft's "Wild Imagination" you may then fail its check, using - 1 from Dark Whispers, to gain an experience OR succeed,
using Dark Whispers to spend no energy, to purchase advanced skills.

Because you have spent no energy to complete these steps, and because if there are no cards you are prompted to grab, you return all cards from the discard pile, you can repeat them indefinitely. Fail Wild Imagination to gain infinite experience then succeed Wild Imagination to purchase every advanced skill in the game.

All it takes is the patience to do these steps or the intelligence to realize the end result and jump to it.

I guess we'll have to replace a "will" keyword on card "Wild imagination"...

How does it look - is there a fix in the works for this??

There is another exploit to get all cards from the Discard back into the Action Deck with the use of card 608 (D1183) and the Gourmet card from Ferdinand. You basically fail at doing the action (-1 card, +1 star as a group), get rid of the Paranoid cards by moving towards some fire, and do it again.
This is pointless I'd never use this exploit, but it was fun to find out ^^

If more than one player is involved in the action, they may decide to lower the cost of the action by any number (-X cards to draw) and, on the other hand, increase the difficulty of the action by the same amount (+X required successes).
