During the seventies and early eighties, Mallet productions brought us some of the greatest never seen horror moments that no money could buy. Great anthology shows such Monster Hunter, creature of the week specials like the Deadwright Detective Agency, and the B-movie syndication spot light known as Night Terror all dotted the TV dial in the early hours of a new day. Sadly, too many companies discovered that horror films could draw in a constant revenue stream with almost no underlying investment, and this quickly led to a saturation in the market. In the early eighties, Mallet productions was on the decline. Facing bankruptcy, they suffered a terrible fatal tragedy for the company when their warehouse “mysteriously” caught fire. Since then, old audio recordings of their shows and illegal copies have become quite a commodity among the growing fan base of aging nostalgics.

Introduction 2:40 in the morning and nothing on TV. Well, almost nothing, there is still that odd horror movie on cable. But… oh god… who is that hosting it, and why does he keep talking, just get on with the movie already. Creature Feature is an unofficial expansion to Crooked Dice Games Design Studio‟s game 7TV which adds elements from horror movies and television. Specifically, this addition is designed to focus on early and rather low budget horror media, the type which is generally only shown on TV in the middle of the night, Mallet Productions was a new studio founded by Andre Hammerstein, and he was trying desperately to break into the television market in the early 70‟s. Competition was tight, and they were late arriving to the game. After some success on the big screen, they figured it was best to stick with what they know, and so they tried to bring classic horror stories to the little screen. Their main demographic of these shows were thirteen year old boys... …and thirteen year old buys don‟t buy stuff, at least that what the advertisers said. As a result, most of these shows had a shoestring budget and relied on recycling old, tired and fairly abused movie props as well as improvising effects from the most humble of materials. Got bubble wrap, great, next week we have a

New Rules Zombies Models that have succumbed to the zombie infection behave rather differently than most other models. Activation: During the Zombie player‟s action phase: the player may give one (1) movement action for all zombies in their control (see movement section below). The zombie player may then give 1 additional action for HALF Zombies on table. Relentless! Movement: Their movement rates are unpredictable, Zombies move 1D6" each move action, are Slow, and never gain the free charge attack. Shambling! React to Movement Roll 1D6 when a living model expends an action within 6" of a Zombie. On the roll of 1–3, you may move the Zombie that many inches towards the model expending the action. ON a roll of 4-6, the zombie does not react. Heroic models can sneak (all movement counts double). A successful Agi roll is required to successfully sneak, and doesn't allow Zombies within 6" the free move roll. Shhh! Reaction to sound Each time the heroic player shoots, place a sound marker on ONE Zombie on the table. This Zombie will move at least 4" next move, regardless of D6 roll. Brains!

conservation rules prior to playing a A:E Horror game. Under the Ammo conservation rules, if an attacker is firing a firearm and roll an unmodified 1 on their to-hit roll than they have experienced some for of weapon malfunction, either an empty clip or casing stuck in the ejection port. Whatever, the cause, the attacker cannot use their firearm again until they have cleared and reloaded their weapon. Models carrying a jammed firearm can clear and re-load their weapon, thus making it operational again, by using a special action.

Hordes Sometimes, 1 model per base is just not enough. Zombies are especially known for forming large groups or mobs that behave more or less in a collective manner. While very weak individually, hordes are much stronger than the sum of their parts. Hordes grow weaker when members of the horde are killed off. A horde gains + 1 strength for every Hit value above 1. However, as the horde takes, their strength bonus is reduced accordingly. For example, a horde with 3 Hits, will receive a plus 2 bonus to their strength.

Barricades

Gotta get „em in the head Because they are already dead, Zombies are notoriously difficult to kill. Whenever an infected zombie is reduced to zero hits, the attacker should roll a 1d6. On a roll of 5+ the attacker managed to hit the zombie in the head, and the model is removed from the table. Otherwise, place the zombie model prone on the ground. On subsequent turns, the controlling player may roll 1d6 for each prone zombie on the table. A roll of 6 a prone zombie stands again, gains 1 hit back and can continue their turn as normal.

Nowhere to go, and the horde of nasties approaching? The only safe thing to do is hold up, secure your location, and hold out until help arrives. Player‟s may wish to use a special action to declare barricading actions during a turn to help prevent the nasties from coming through windows or doors. The model must be in base contact with the window or door they wish to barricade, and may place a barricade token next to the entry way for each special action they use for barricading. Up to three barricade tokens may be placed on a doorway, or up to two on a window.

Ammo Conservation

A typical barricade made of left over furniture has 1 hit per token.

Nothing makes a situation more dire than unexpectedly running out of ammunition and being surrounded by enemy hordes. players should agree if they are using the ammo

Unlike buildings, Any model in base contact with barricaded window may attempt to damage the barricade. If the attacking model is on the inside of the barricade, they may automatically remove a single barricade token for each attack. If the model is on the outside of the barricade, Simply figure out the damage

Page | 3 caused and reduce the Hits of the section by that amount. Do not use the Damage table. Barricade Tokens are destroyed when they are reduced to 0 Hits, and will collapse. If no further barricade tokens are on located on the entrance point than models may move freely across the entrance point as described on page 38 of the main rule book.

Stab in the Dark Let‟s face it, most horror stories take place in dimly light forests, or in buildings during a power outage. The power of the darkness to enhance the heroes sense of helpless and add tension to a story should not be overlooked when playing Creature Feature. Here we provide rules for playing games in the shroud of darkness. Effects of Darkness Darkness has two main effects in a game of Creature Feature. The first effect is that darkness limits all models visibility. In game terms, darkness breaks line of sight after 6 inches. The distance at which line of sight is effectively broken can be extended by using light sources, and this will be discussed in a moment. The next principle effect of darkness is that it elevates fear. Any models that are in the dark without a light source near them will receive a minus 1 penalty to all fear tests they might have to take.. Stationary Light sources Stationary Light sources should be marked on the terrain, either with a suitable model, a sticker, or a token of some form. An example light token is provided here for convenience. Light sources emit light for a distance of 6 inches from their marker. If a player needs to determine line of sight while in the dark, they simple take a rule from their model to the target. Any nearby light sources may potentially extend their visibility, so an 6 inch template should be placed to see how much of the rule is covered by light. Any part of the ruler that is not covered by a light source is counted as being in darkness. If there are more than 8 inches in darkness between the model and the target than line of sight should be considered broken just as if by a piece of terrain. Note that ranges, such as those for weapons are determined as normal, and obviously both conditions must be satisfied for the model to shot at the target.

As long as a character is within 3 inches of a stationary light source at the time, than the minus one penalty on horror tests caused by being in the dark is negated. Mobile Light Sources. Crafty players may want to equip their heroes with flashlights or torches. These items function very similar to stationary light sources, in that they cast a light source template when attempting to determine line of sight. Mobile light sources, being with the character at all times, also negates the minus penalty on horror tests caused by being in the dark. Torches and Flashlights do differ from Stationary light sources, and from each other in one respect, they case a different size and shaped template than stationary sources. Torches cast light for only 4 inches but do so in a circular pattern around the carrier. Flash lights cast an 8 inch tear shaped template that extends only to the front of the model. So, neighboring allies that are behind or to the side the hero carrying a flashlight may not gain its positive effects.

Example of determining Line of sight in the dark

The bombshell spots a zombie off in the darkness and decides to take a shot at it with her trusty pistol, the player than measures the distance between the zombie and bombshell to be 9 inches, so it is within range, and there is no terrain blocking line of sight. Off to the side is a stationary light source, so the player takes out the six inch light source template, places that over the table and sees that 4 inches of the ruler is covered by the light source template. Nine inches minus 4 is five, and is less that 6 inches darkness needs to block line of sight, so the shot is permissible. However, had the stationary light source not been present, than line of sight would simply have been broken after 6 inches from the Bombshell.

Star Quality I know thy weakness The monster hunter is well verse in the occult and all things paranormal. Their detailed studies grant them an understanding the weaknesses of any monster they may encounter and they are likely to know the location of an item to exploit the weakness. For every villain model that has a listed vulnerability (for example: Fire, silver, or holy items), as long as at least one Monster Hunter is present in the heroes cast, than the villain player should place an appropriate item token (for example (Thermite rounds, sjilver bullets, or a Holy Relic) somewhere on the game board during any scenario setup. If the villain player has a Monster of the Week in their cast, than a Weapon of the Week must be placed on the board as well. Tokens must be at least 12 inches from any villain model‟s starting location. Multiple Monster Hunters, or Multiple monsters do increase the number of tokens spread about.

A monster of the week has any uncanny nature of returning from the dead, When a MOTW is killed during a game, the model should be removed from the table. On any subsequent turns, the player may roll 1d6, and on a roll of 5-6, the MOTW returns to the game with 1 hit remaining, may be placed in the players starting location. MOTW may return up to three times during an episode. Exception to rule: If a MOTW is killed with a Weapon of the Week, then the player will not roll for return anymore during the rest of the episode.

New Special Effects Traits Horns

Amorphous

Models with this trait gain a new basic melee attack type, the horned charge. The model receives a further +2 to their strength (for a total of +3) during successful charges. The to-hit is determined like any other new basic attack allotted to the character archetype.

Razor Sharp Claws Models with this trait gain a new basic melee attack type, the clawed attack. A clawed attack adds plus 1 to the Str of the attacker when making an unarmed attack. The to-hit is determined like any other new basic attack allotted to the character archetype.

Sharp Teeth Models with this trait gain a new basic melee attack type, the bite. A bite has a strength equal to the user +2. The to-hit is determined like any other new basic attack allotted to the character archetype minus one.

Tentacle Crush

The creature has an ever changing form. Like an ameba, the creature moves about by stretching parts of itself out, grabbing hold of something and pulling the rest toward it. Amorphous creatures are somewhat unique in that they do not have a single base holding their miniature, but rather a collection of bases, each round base representing a part of the creature. At all times, each individual base MUST be in contact with the other bases representing this particular amorphous creature. The number of bases used, and by extension the size of the creature, is determined by the creatures Hits. For example, a creature with 5 hits, will use five round bases, all in contact with one another, to represent the beast. Any time the creature takes damage, a number of bases equal to the damage is removed from play. The attacker gets to choose which particular bases. The creature may not willfully split into two, but if one base is removed in such a way as to separate the beast into two piles, then movement must be spent reforming into a whole entity again.

Notes

Pyrokinetics have the ability to spontaneously generate fires. Pyrokinesis has a range of 8 inches. If a pyrokinetic spends 1 special action generating fires they may place up to 1 fire token on the game board within their range (see page 39 of the main rulebook). If the pyrokinetic uses this as an attack against a single model it causes a strength 3 hit.

Organic Consumption

Many undulating tentacles protrude from this creature body. Each capable of lashing out and striking any enemy foolish enough to approach the beast.

Unexplained Alternate Form The werewolf may choose to start the game in human form. While in human form, they should use a different miniature. The werewolf may spend 1 special action to transform into or from their werewolf form. In human form, the werewolf was an altered attribute profile, and loses their basic special effects. Any damage sustained to either form is carried over to the other. Move 6 Def 3 Hits 3 Str 3 Agi 3 Int 3 Morale 3 A player may choose to assign special effects, or adds to their alternate form, rather than use them on their primary form.

The Abomination is voracious and consumes all the organic material it can find. As this happens, the Abomination swells, and if left unchecked could grow to cover the entire planet. Anytime the Abomination can move part of itself into base-to-base contact with a fallen enemy model it may spend one attack consuming the corpse. Consuming a corpse restores/adds 1 hit and 1 base size to the abomination. Fire markers are provided at the end of the summer special.

Zombie Infection Models with that carry the zombie infection ability follow a set of special rules that are described earlier in this supplement. Zombies are slow, have unpredictable movement rates, react instinctively to movement and sound, and are notoriously difficult to kill unless you get „em in the head.

Disadvantages Brain Dead Brain dead models do not learn from their experiences. During a ratings war, players may not spend PP to develop a model with the brain dead disadvantage.

The Deadwright Detective Agency

Phobia (x) The creature has a deep rooted dread that causes a complete irrational and uncontrollable state of fear. Typical phobias include: Fire, Sunlight and Holy symbols. If a creature is attacked by a weapon with causes damage of type they fear, or the creature is within 6 inches of an enemy model which is brandishing an item of a type they fear (for example a torch for a fire phobia, or a UV flashlight for a sunlight phobia) than the model must make a fear test. Failing this test forces the creature to take an immediate retreat move, at the cost of one of their regular actions.

Scaredy Cat The creature or hero is so cowardly they high tail it out of danger at the slightest fright. The model receives a minus two (-2) penalty whenever rolling a fear test.

Vulnerability (x) This disadvantage can be chosen more than once – each additional time it is chosen adds + 3 to the number in the brackets. Additionally the nature of the vulnerability must be chosen – Silver, Fire, or Holy Symbols. If attacked by a weapon type indicated by the their models, the model increases the Str of any attacks against it by the number indicated in the brackets. Vulnerability supersedes and cancels out the effect of general invulnerability.

New Events Much like the action shows of 7TV, the horror shows of creature feature are choke full of strange and unpredictable twists of fate. From wobbly sets, to forgotten lines, it is these unexpected events that add a real charm and appeal to the horror shows of the 70s. Event

The Surprise Reveal (Heroic Player only, Prologue Event)

Peek-a-Boo (Villains Only)

The worst possible moment (Villains Only) Loners must die (Villains Only) Ex-virgins must die (Villains Only) Dodgy Makeup (Heroes only) Fake Scare (Villains Only) We‟ll camp here tonight (Heroes Only) Scream Queen (Heroes Only)

Secretly Infected (Villains Only)

“That’s dead right baby, …dead right!” Effect(s)

The producers have been promising for some time in the trailers to finally reveal the identity of the monster. The villain player must select one monster from his/her cast (if they have one) who is the potential surprise reveal. If the heroes manage to capture the potential reveal, than any heroic model in base contact may spend 1 special action to remove their mask. Removing their mask instantly transforms the model into a civilian for the rest of the scenario and grants the heroic player an additional 3 VPs beyond those permitted by the scenario. Monsters have the uncanny ability to pop out when the heroes least expect it. Especially when they have been running full speed away from a gimped mummified Mrs. Daisy. The villainous player may play this even card on one of their monsters, and relocate their monster anywhere on the game board so long as no heroic model has line of start with where they are placed. This may be done before activating the monster model. Play when a hero is about to fire at one of your models. The shot automatically missed and results in a jammed weapon. Play when a monster is about to attack a hero. If the hero has no allied models within 12 inches of them, then the monster receives a +2 to hit and a + 2 to strength of the attack. Play when a monster is about to attack a hero. If the hero has no allied models within 12 inches of them with the exception of a single friendly model of the opposite sex, then the monster receives a +2 to hit and a + 2 to strength of the attack. Nominate one heroic model. They immediately ignore all effects of fearsome creatures for the next two turns. The hero lets down their guard for even a moment and BAMMMM…. Out jumps a cat. Play whenever a heroic model opens a new doorway on the table. The model must make an immediate Morale check. Failing this check results in the model being forced to retreat from the doorway. A talented survivor can find building materials anywhere. Play this card to locate building material for three barricade tokens. The heroic player may play this card to ignore the effects of any single Morale test, even after it is rolled. However, in order to benefit from these effects the player must make the appropriate sound effects themselves. Played during the prologue. The heroic player must select one of his/her stars or co-stars at the start of the game. At the start of every round, the heroic player must roll 1d6 for this model to see if the infection has taken over. When the player rolls a 6, the heroic model turns into a zombie with a name (villain co-star) and is turned over to their opponent‟s control. Their profile is standard with no additional adds beyond the basic.

Secret Passageway

Hidden Doorway

Effect(s)

The player may place this card to create a portal between two locations on the game board. These two locations cannot be located more than 18 inches apart. Any model may enter the secret pass away by being in base contact with the entrance and spending all their actions of the turn to go through the tunnel. Simply move the model to the other end of the passageway. Once discovered the passageway remains on the board for the rest of the game and may be used my any model. The character moves a book from the bookshelf and discovers a secret doorway. This doorway must be placed on a wall that links two rooms, or a room with the outside.

A model that holds a neutron detector does not need to open a door and enter a new room before rolling on the haunting experiences table, as long as they are in an adjacent room. This means that they can identify paranormal threats in neighboring rooms without having to deal with them immediately.

The hero player may move the incorporeal model that many inches on the table. Multiple attacks will continue to move the incorporeal being. If the hero rolls a 1, than the opposing player may place 1 fire token within 8 of the attacker, but not in base-tobase contact with any model unless unavoidable.

Neutron Trap Cost: 6 Models that are incorporeal are only harmed by weapons with unexplained special effects. This capture trap was designed to deal exclusively with them. The abilities of the Neutron trap have no effect on physical beings. A being captures while incorporeal cannot revert back to physical form while in the trap. The neutron trap must be placed on the ground by a hero, and they must spend 1 special action activating the trap. Any beings in an incorporeal form that come into base-to-base contract with the trap must make an agility test or gain a captured status. The trap can only hold one being at a time. The trap has a defense of 5 and 2 Hits.

Silver Ammunition Cost: 2 Models equipped with a bow, crossbow or any type of firearm may replace the ammunition used by the weapon with rounds (arrows) tipped or made in silver. Attacks which strike any monster with the weakness to silver will benefit from a plus three to the weapons strength.

Smelling Salts

Weapon of the Week

Cost: 1 For 1 special action, smelling salts allow a hero to remove a confused status marker from any friendly confused model that is in base-to-base contact.

Cost: Not for sale. Most be found in scenario When combating the monsters of the darkness, a hero needs a special weapon. Weapons of the week are constructed by those who understand a monster of the weeks most secret weaknesses, and use them to hopefully destroy the beast forever. Anyone particular W.O.T.W will only work against one particular M.O.T.W. The weapon of the week has the following profile.

Standard Flashlight Cost: 2 The hero carries with them a basic run of the mill flashlight. This flashlight may be used to cast an 8 inch cone shaped template of light from the player when determining line of sight in the dark. This template may be used to aid allies, but must always be placed in facing directly forward of the model carrying it. Additionally, carrying this light source negates the horror test penalty for being in the dark for the model carrying this flashlight, and any allies that are directly in from the of flashlight carrier who would fall under the light source template.

Thermite Ammunition Cost: 2 Models equipped with a bow, crossbow or any type of firearm may replace the ammunition used by the weapon with rounds (arrows) tipped with a small themite explosive. Attacks which strike any monster with the weakness to fire will benefit from a plus three to the weapons strength.

Torch Cost: 2 Models carrying an open fire cast a 4 inch round light template around their model. This template helps to dispel the darkness when determining line of sight in the dark and negates the horror test penalty for being in the dark for the model carrying it and any other models within 2 inches.

UV Flashlight Cost: 3 The hero carries a full wavelength spectrum flashlight. The hero may spend one action to pull out and shine their flashlight on an enemy within six inches. Monsters with a phobia for sunlight must pass a fear test if they are within 8 inches of the hero displaying a UV flashlight. The effects of shining the UV flashlight on a target are immediate only. The UV flashlight also casts a 8 inch cone shaped light template to dispel darkness in the players are using the darkness rules.

THE DEADWRIGHT DETECTIVE AGENCY Each week, these clever kids and mettlesome mutt battle rubber masked monsters, and solve all sorts of paranormal mysteries. The Deadwright detective agency was formed four unlikely friends while in high school. Most of them have long since graduated, with the exception to the questionably hungry youth, who we‟re not quite sure about. In the last few years they took to the road, traveling from town to town and getting in all sorts of adventures. The most loveable member of their cast, the one who gets the most screen time, and gets the most one liners, is also the one who is not quite human. Though, he is also no quite an attack dog either.

Show Special Effects McGuffin Snacks: The brain, the bombshell and the jock each carry 1 serving of McGuffin Snacks, usable by Not quite an attack dog, and the questionably hungry youth. Either of these models may use 1 serving of the snacks to re-roll a failed fear test. In order to gain this re-roll, at least 1 of the three snack carriers must be within 6 inches of scared model. Once a carrier has used his/her snacks they are no longer available from that particular carrier for the remainder of the episode.

Re-animated Golem

The Deadwright detective agency battles a large host of monsters and beasts every week. When those monsters are not battling those pesky teenagers, they occasional get recycled to other shows produced by mallet production. The Interdimensional Consortium of Monsters is sort of like their local union. Well, maybe more like the union of the props guys.

Background Allowing for cultural influences in the naming, stories of th the Master vampire appear to date as far back as 16 century with early descriptions of the Vrykolakas, and the strigoi. No one is certain exactly how the Master Vampire first became cursed, or if the his origins is even shrouded in a curse at all, but rather a disease, or some mutation. Centuries of persistent life and his continued predation upon humans have caused the master vampire to lose touch with his humanity. He is a creature out of his time, and forever alone. To assuage his loneliness, the Master Vampire often seeks out companions and turns them into one of his vampiric children. It is likely this habit that has brought the heroic cast members into the presence of the Master.

Background It is said that the horror from Hoboken originally rode a comet to New Jersey in the 1950‟s. He was met with much prejudice and continued refrigeration, which he did not like. So, he, or rather it, found its way down into the bowels of the water treatment center, where it has stayed dormant for decades. There it stayed in hiding, quietly eating our waste, and growing until the day it could find acceptance. Or until the day it could sustain itself from sewage alone.

Gila stands many stories high and is able to literally stomp across the battlefield, leveling buildings, flattening tanks, and otherwise ending an actor‟s career.

Background No one knows exactly Gila came from. Some scientists speculate that the monster is a mutation brought about by underseas nuclear testing. The more fringe scientists have postulated that the monster is not a mutation at all, but rather a remnant of a long lost species that had spent the better part of recorded history in hibernation, only to be awoken by underseas nuclear testing. For some reason, the underseas nuclear testing is the only thing most scientists agree about.

On Location: The Haunted House Most stories have a fairly straight forward protagonistantagonist adversarial relationship. But what if the heroes are not up against the machinations of some evil individual? What if they are not against an individual at all, but rather a structure. Haunted houses and other haunted places represent a unique challenge in the 7TV television lineup, in that they are not played by an actor, but become a character in and of themselves. In this section we will detail the special rules needed to create your own haunted house or spooky location for your monsters and other villains to creep about. Haunted houses may be used to house an existing cast of villains, or in small skirmishes may be the only villain. Provided below are a set of random tables used to generate the paranormal events that occur within a house. Players may even find these tables useful in generating a random house for use in solo adventures. A word of caution however, given the random nature of these tables it is highly likely that the difficulty of a haunted house will be very unpredictable. If this is not your cup of tea, and alternative idea is to take the contents of tables and present them on cards. This will allow for a pseudorandom presentation with a predicable overall difficulty. Every time a heroic player enters a new room in house, the player should determine what type of paranormal phenomenon the player is going to encounter. The paranormal phenomenon are broken down into six broad classes which increase according to spectral power of the entity attempting to manifest. The lowest order are simple residuals, which are little more than a psychic recording being played back in a loop within the house. At the other end of the spectrum you have personified manifestations, entities that manage to maintain their individuality. These are often the most dangerous beings the heroes will confront in the house.

Once the players determine the type of haunting within a room, they should then roll to determine what type of encounter they will deal with. There are three types of encounters that individual heroes may come face to face with regardless of the haunting type. These include: haunted items left in the room, evidence of spiritual charlatanism (fakes), or direct contacts with the unseen. Each of these types of encounters has a sub-table with a description of their effects and suggestions as to how to avoid them All the remaining encounters are specific to the individual haunting type, and represent an escalation of apparent danger.

Déjà vu The heroes experiences a deep feeling of having been in the house before, despite never having set foot in it before this moment. The experience is so strong, that the very activity the hero is doing at that moment feels as it is memory. Heroes in this room must make an intelligence check or gain a confused status. Any confused models can continue to test against their intelligence in subsequent rounds to remove the status.

Flashes The hero pauses for a moment and flashes on a memory that is not their own. Like a television clip playing out in their head, the hero experiences the painful moments of the spirits last moral moments. Heroes in this room must make an intelligence check or gain a stunned status. Any Stunned models can continue to test against their intelligence in subsequent rounds to remove the status.

Cold Spot As the heroes walk through the room they slowly feel a chill creep up on them. As if from nowhere, the temperature drops as much as 10 degrees in only a small portion of the room. As the heroes continue onward, the chill dissipates. Heroes are minus 1 Move, and minus 1 Agility while in the room.

Creakings The heroes are all together, and off in the distance they hear an unexplained creaking. Perhaps that of a door slowly closing, or someone walking along some loose floorboards, but if everyone is here, who is responsible for it?

The creaking sounds make the heroes very nervous. Any fear checks made in the room suffer a minus one penalty.

Shadow Figures Off in the distance, at the limits of line of sight, the heroes see a shadowy and hazy form dash out of sight The sudden fright of a figure dashing in front of them forces the heroes to make a fear check or run screaming from the room. The heroes may re-enter the room in subsequent rounds without re-checking.

Knockings Loud slamming sounds which appear to have no known visible cause seem to emanate from heroes current room. Suddenly, any closed doors leading from this room are flung open. Players should determine the paranormal activity for each of these attached rooms and deal with them accordingly. Any summoned manifestations will move toward the heroes current room.

Moans That is not simply pipes, and floorboards in a old house. Those sounds are distinctly human…. Er… humanish. Heroes in this room must make an morale check or gain a stunned status. Any Stunned models can continue to test against their morale in subsequent rounds to remove the status.

Levitations Books, chairs, or candlesticks, it could be any small item. What catches the heroes eyes is that item is clearly floating around the room, without hand or sting guiding it.

Page | 24 Any model that ends its turn in the room is attacked by flying books. These hit on a roll of 4+ and books cause a strength 2 attack.

Conflagration The curtains spontaneously combust into flames, a thick black smoke devours the rooms and begins to choke the heroes before they can react. Place two fire markers in the middle of the room. See page 39 of the main rule book for details about fire.

Orbs Rarely are they seen during an active experience, but rather are caught on film with photographers left to explain their presence later on. Every once in a while, these will‟o‟wisps are experienced firsthand, and are described as brief flashes of white or greenish light, appearing like a small flickering lantern that seems to move about. The flashes can be quite blinding. All models in the room must make a defense check or gain a stunned status. Stunned models may re-roll during subsequent rounds to remove the status.

Mists A thick fog rolls into the room, seeming to seep from every architectural orifice. The fog makes if very difficult to see, and any to-hit roll are at minus one penalty.

Misty Apparition A hazy semi-formed person seems to appear and disappear simultaneously from a thick fog ambling about the room.

Black Dog A solid figure, the heroes spot a silent motionless dog at the limits of the room. After a moment it will begin to silently bark, and continue to do so as if warning the heroes of some unknown danger. Seeing the black dog is a bad omen which is thought to spell doom. Attributes Mov

The heroes begin to doubt the paranormal origins of the haunting. They receive a plus one bonus to the next fear test one of them makes. In the room are various items from a séance including a crystal ball, smudge pots, They quickly realize the small Jacobs ladder was use to make concealed clapping sounds from beneath the fortune tellers gown, and that a small projector was pointing at the crystal ball. The heroes are reminded to keep their street smarts about them and not be fooled by parlor tricks. They receive a plus one bone to the next intelligence test one of them makes. Well that explains the flying effects. If the next manifestation the players encounter has the flying special effect, than the special effect is cancelled and the manifestation is grounded. The heroes find the long lost will of the homeowner. Well, this is curious, sure does provide some individuals with some strange motivation to keep this document secret. Gives the heroes + 1 VP.

A randomly selected model is attacked from an unseen force. The force hits on a roll of 2+ and causes a Strength 3 wound. A random model is selected. The model feels a strong push against their chest. The model must pass an agility check or suffer the effects of a level 3 fall. The hero must make a moral check or be possessed by an evil spirit. The villain control will control the hero as long as the possessed status remains. The heroic player may re-roll the moral every round until they pass. In a solo game, the possessed model will start to attack any nearby allies and will continue to do so until they shake the possession.

Voodoo Dolls

Ouija Board

Suggested Effects The well loved doll of a little girl. I was sure this doll was haunted, oh well… A strange mirror on the wall appears to not only reflect the room and heroes, but back into the abyss. Any heroes who walk by the mirror will be compelled to look into the mirror and risks being trapped in the mirrors reflection. Any hero who moves past the mirror must make a morale test. IF the model fails this test, they gain a dominated status and will perform NO actions until it removed. The model may test every turn to remove it. The heroes locate an extremely valuable treasure and may designate a hero to carry the treasure. While carrying the treasure, any attacks against this hero are +1 to hit and + 1 strength to damage. If the hero survives the adventure, the heroes gain +2 VP. The heroes locate a voodoo doll for the member of their cast with the lowest ratings. There is reason to believe there are others. The villain player may place voodoo doll tokens around the haunted house, no more than one per room unless all unexplored rooms already have at least one. Cursed models attack and make attribute checks with a -1 penalty until the curse is lifted A porcelain statue of religious motif adorns the room. As the heroes approach, they can see the statue is crying a tears of blood. Make an immediate horror test. Failing this test will result in the hero spending its action fleeing the room. They may try again in subsequent turns. A Ouija Board sits on a small table in the middle of the room. The small planchette begins to move on it‟s own as if some unseen force is trying to communicate. The hero with the highest rating in the room must make an intelligence test to understand the message. If the hero deciphers the message than the heroes gain + 1VP.

Counter-Measure None When moving past the mirror, Pass a moral test.

Survive the rest of the game with increased lethality against you, or ignore the treasure. Each token represents one of the heroes. Locate the token, and remove the pin to remove the curse from a model. Pass an immediate horror test.
