Ah ok. We started with only the core set, so didn't have the abomination problem. There isn't a rule that I'm aware of for which cards to include, you can put in as many or as little abomination and necromancers that you want. I suggest trying again with just the original abomination. If you find it too easy you add another ones cards, or replace the original with a new one. The new ones are more brutal because they spawn at any difficulty level (other than blue) and have nastier movement/attacks/etc. if you insist on playing with the harder ones I suggest playing with more than 6 survivors. They really have it set up to be very flexible depending on how difficult you want the game to be.
The dwarf issue you had is in the rule book. You did it correctly.7 Deal the Starting Equipment as you see t amongst Survivors Zombicide: Black Plague is a cooperative game, so decide as a team Each Survivor starts the game with at least one card If a Survivor?s starting Skill lists any starting weapons, he receives those cards now, independent of the starting Equipment you?ve just distributed

Thanks. I'm leaning towards getting Massive Darkness, but probably will stay away from all of the add-ons.

Understandable. I would definitely get the ZBP crossover though if you do. It's only $8, Kickstarter exclusive, and adds an insane amount of heroes and monsters to both games.

Little rule clarification needed on Dead of Winter
When a starvation token is placed into the food supply - the way the manual reads is that every turn there is a starvation token in the food supply you subtract 1 morale. It doesn't say there is any way to remove the starvation token.
Am I reading it correctly that every subsequent round would be a 1 morale deduction for the rest of the game (unless another starvation token was added). Is there any way to clear it?
Some people said online they only subtract the 1 if there isn't enough food again (while adding another token). But that seems wrong to me.
Were we doing it right?
Also, Dead of Winter is the only game in the last 5 or 6 years that EVERYONE has loved. I'd like to get more games in its style - survival, co-op, betrayal. We have The Resistance and no one liked it. I think they like the difficulty and length of founds and the amount we have to work together. Any games to look at?

Has your group played Battlestar Galactica?
For starvation, Google Fu led me to this:dead of winter - What to do with starvation tokens? - Board Card Games Stack Exchange
You keep the starvation tokens in the food supply for the rest of the game, however, they only cause you to lose morale when you don't have enough food that round.
For example, you don't have enough food this round and you add one starvation token to the food supply but keep the food that was already in there. This causes you to lose one morale. Two rounds later, you don't have enough food again, and you add a second starvation token. This causes you to lose two morale since there are now two starvation tokens in the food supply.
So looks like the tokens just track cumulative starvation, and indicate how much you lose when it's triggered.

Ok we modified the rules and did that the second time, so that will work for us. The rulebook is a little vague on that area.
I was recommended to try BSG as well ,I'll look into it.

Just fyi, for anyone who has Descent 2E but was maybe pining for a co-op campaign version, the new app (Road to Legend) with free full-length co-op campaign is pretty damn fantastic so far, IMO. The more you own, the more variation there is, and future campaigns will continue to be released that take (more)advantage of the variety afforded by expansions. Presumedly future campaigns will cost some nominal fee, but I can't imagine it will be much, considering how much this app is apparently driving sales of physical boxes.
It's on iOS, Android, Steam, and possibly other platforms. Basically anything really, with just those three.

I'm not really into card games but I went to buy this today to support a Reroller and it was cancelled. If you guys put it up again let me know.

Massive Darkness Kickstarter almost over. I'm pretty happy with the stretch goals that got unlocked. Some of the models are totally badass. I'm not a fan of all the Kickstarter exclusives as future players just miss out, but I'm glad I'm in on it.

It sounds like a while - only info I have is that same update - he's not super chatty about future plans. There was like a 2 day or something warning about "Hey, we're just going to sell the expansions at once rather than staggering them after all!" just a bit ago after all, heh.

Just came here to post this. 4 hours left. I backed and took the KS-exclusive Dice and Black Plague-crossover. Gonna keep the BP cards and give the MD cards to my friend that has BP, but is not getting this one. That sentence was confusing.
Anyway, wasn't going to get any other add-ons, but I had to grab the Hellephant. He just looks bad-ass and, if nothing else, I can use the miniature for a custom Blood Bowl team I'm creating. CMON better not let me down again!

I supported this and found out I had a survey pending from like 2014 for Oh Hell lol. Yay.
I guess you can't buy the add-ons now that it has ended?
