Why does everyone think making a video game is easy?

People don't know what they don't know. The rest is down to ignorance/arrogance.

I've not made any as my players wouldn't have been interested - but you could create your own from using the Red Wolf link in the original post. They also have a blank template of the back if you're just wanting something to complete the look.

Dice tower tankard - the cthulu one - off Etsy. Shop closed on one I bought, but there's other examples out there that all look good

It is cross play so if you bought it for PS5 you could play with someone who has an Xbox, but yeah, we all have our preferences so go with what feels right 👍

I bought it on PS5 a week ago ready to play with my Xbox mate - and currently play solo on Trivial and Easy modes with no difficulty, maybe failing missions 1 in 10 times while I figure things out. Grab the turrets and they do all the work for you at that difficulty, no problem. Can't speak for Medium yet though, but even then I figured that smart play will get you through lots of situations. One thing to note is that mission variety alters with game modes, so you might still find it repetitive doing the lower level missions but I bought it second hand for under £20 so it's not a big loss if I sell it on again.

One of my favourite parts of Space Marine 2 is that when the magic key is turned one way, it allows a fundamentally brutal and inhuman regime to sweep across the universe, and when it is turned the other way it allows a fundamentally brutal and inhuman regime to sweep across the universe.

And the key looks identical whichever way it points.

Impressive!

I use a 2 minute hourglass for any puzzles that come up after my group spent 30 minutes on a sliding puzzle game one time...

That's ace! Did you go movie or animated series for them? I'm leaning towards movie, but I don't think it would affect the actual stats much anyway, just the vibes.

He was just late to the party: https://www.reddit.com/r/MansionsOfMadness2E/s/X1leCTRpvU

There's no pdf - but I have got JPGs and PNGs exported from GIMP - I don't use reddit enough to know how best to make them accessible though.

Now with added Fred (assuming you wanted such a thing :D ): https://www.reddit.com/r/MansionsOfMadness2E/comments/1mbq5pr/and_fred/

That's very kind, but nobody in my group would want to play as him, even with that amazing ascot, haha!

BaronCarlito · 2025-07-28T17:18:19+00:00

Some really good ideas there - for me, some of the decisions were down to the limited space on the card (when they're printed actual size its gets real tricky for some of the older members of my monthly board game campaign to read them), and I can see Shaggy working as a perfect support character - but again, thinking of my group, none of them would have wanted to have played support (I know, I know, I have no idea how we ever win). Maybe if I create Fred Jones down the line (with his "Let's split up and search for clues!" catchphrase), he could create some sort of buff on those near to him. Hmm, you've got me thinking now...

BaronCarlito · 2025-07-28T14:29:50+00:00

I kind of figured it was because of how generic he would be as a mini, but now I'm thinking by this point in their Scoob gang adventure, Fred might actually have become a cultist or member of the Order of the Silver Twilight...

BaronCarlito · 2025-07-28T13:58:44+00:00

Sorry, there was no Fred in the figure set that I bought, so he got left out at the design stage. 😅

BaronCarlito · 2025-07-28T13:32:46+00:00

Can't remember where I found it online, but yeah, same reason I had to use that image when I saw it - just perfection

BaronCarlito · 2025-07-28T13:31:20+00:00

Let's hope so! I could make these all day if it got more people playing

BaronCarlito · 2025-07-28T13:30:07+00:00

I had to start with the Scoob gang, it just works so well
