As with the printable weapon cards for the base game I wanted a little print at home zine for creating new enemies to use in your skirmish games. The core game has 11 enemies so a little variety is always nice. While designing the zine I would print it and use it to make a few enemies. The first set I made was a group of jungle based creatures including the \u003Cb\u003EDemonpede \u003C\/b\u003Eand my favourite the \u003Cb\u003ESpore Hulk\u003C\/b\u003E. While others included a

The idea behind Revenant was ‘\u003Ci\u003Ewhat if a character gets stronger each time they fade?\u003C\/i\u003E’ in juxtaposition to the core classes which only get weaker. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMaking all attacks stronger based on each marked Fade seemed like a bad idea so instead I gave Revenant a single Ability which would get stronger, \u003Cb\u003EFiend Claw\u003C\/b\u003E. As Revenant is designed as an all or nothing character I gave it a repeatable attack ability which costs life each time. Their final ability is \u003Cb\u003EBlood Feast\u003C\/b\u003E, an ability that can deal monumental damage to foes, though at the cost of not only their own HP and the HP of the allies around them. This character isn't for playing nice with your friends, Revenant can get its allies killed and it's only goal is to kill. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Revenant also has a \u003Cb\u003ESickle \u003C\/b\u003Eas their standard Weapon. This is a short range weapon which has the Barbed Tag, meaning it can Bleed its foes.

I decided to develop a similar creature as a little Halloween monster to add to \u003Cb\u003EBeast Beyond the Veil\u003C\/b\u003E.

A cult, human sacrifice, creepy fields and a demonic monster which rises after the first act. Your job in this mission is to get out into the fields and save as many of the sacrifices as you can before the ritual is complete. After the third round ends the \u003Cb\u003EUnhallowed Reaper\u003C\/b\u003E rises and you've got to take him on.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EInstead of the standard events from the main game I decided this time would have different boss move sets and stats based on how well you've done. If you save most of the sacrifices then the boss is weak and sickly. Whereas failing to save them sees the \u003Cb\u003EUnhallow Reaper\u003C\/b\u003E rising in his most powerful form. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAfter finishing the scenario I wanted to add a rules page covering the new keyword for the boss (Root) and decided that it would be fun if the player could get Root on their weapons as well. So instead of standard rewards from the core rules I built a new Trick or Treat table, giving new items, a few new keywords, and the possibility of some rather awful Trick Items. The new keywords are \u003Cb\u003ERoot\u003C\/b\u003E, \u003Cb\u003ELucky\u003C\/b\u003E, \u003Cb\u003EUnlucky \u003C\/b\u003Eand \u003Cb\u003EImp\u003C\/b\u003E. \u003Cb\u003EImp \u003C\/b\u003Eis possibly my favourite as I find the risk of making a small 1 harm dealing Imp enemy every time you attack pretty hilarious.

The idea behind the forest; a location built from a selection of pieces which are randomly assembled for each visit seemed like a great fit Destiny and would make an interesting module for LIGHT.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal;

Spire is a mode where you climb a tower of increasing difficulty and gain increasing rewards throughout. This tower is ever shifting and changing, allowing the GM and players to replay as many times as they wish with different outcomes and rewards each time.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003EThe GM creates the encounters the players will face and the players react and overcome them. By splitting the tower into 5 layers, each with 4 encounters, the GM is able to adapt the game while making each encounter distinct and unique.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003EFor the rewards I was inspired by rogue-lite games. You power through randomly generated levels, find new things and bring them back for your next run. However I wanted to have a risk\/reward system to punish players for not quitting while they're ahead but reward them with better loot for pushing through and being successful. For this I created the Anvil System.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003EAfter beating a guardian at the end of a level you are able to use the Anvil. Your first reward is a random weapon and each subsequent Anvil you reach grants you an additional tag for that weapon. Reaching a new Anvil enhances your rewards and presents a choice: leave with your prize as it is or continue onwards hoping to gain more upgrades. Succeed and your reward will be better but fail and you will lose all of the work you’ve put in on your weapon. I also left the Anvil upgrades up to the players\/GM. This way you can add additional tags or weapon types from other modules. LIGHT is a modular game and I wanted Spire to also reflect that.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003EI also had another idea for a module but couldnt commit the time to making another one before the end of the event.
