Propose 8 New Cards! - the Wandering Monsters Booster Pack

6/28/2014

Our biggest Stretch Goal addition to Dubious Alliance is a Booster Pack of Wandering Monsters! This means we have 8 new Monster cards to decide, one of which will be adde dto all games.

This is exciting because we get to argue about our favorite fantasy monsters! How often do you get decide what horrors are waiting for you when you gear up for adventure?

So dig up that Monster Manual and lets see what is lurking down the hall way. Feel free to propose all 8 new Monster cards...

All great ideas. The Bear, Stalker and Golem are already in the base deck (glad we think alike). Love the Doppelganger! Reminds me of the campaign I ran where a Player thought he survived, but secretly he was the doppelganger... and I wait about 10 sessions to reveal! Got to love those shapeshifters.

I agree. Sometimes the scariest monsters are the ones that don't even show up on the radar. Reminds me of the old Earthdawn days.Horrors(especially the ones with mind powers) were so much fun. implant suggestions, npcs that only exist in the players minds, then they find out several sessions later they've been doing the legwork for "the bad guy". Man those are the absolute Best moments in a campaign.
Maybe we need a mind control monster?

In no particular order:
1. Mimic
2. Giant Spider or Scorpion( or any giant bug really, those two would give me the biggest case of the willies)
3. Barghest
4. Any sort of Giant
5. Naga
6. Gorgon
7. Gelatinous Cube
8. Basilisk

I like the npc that is only in the players head. Great idea.

I also like the mind control mechanic. And VERY doable in a trading game. Let me play around with a mock up and see what happens...

Brandon, can you erase my multi-posts? The page kept telling me that there was an error and I didn't post, please try again. Now I have excessive posts on the list and I apoligize.
