And Heizinger for the campaign system we're working on.

All for now…

Hello Miah

Nice work! I would like to collaborate, maybe with the testing? As you know I also had my own try at a campaign thinking.

I am concerned about how "hard to die" characters affect the gameplay, and also how it would be for a "losing" player to keep interested (and with open options) in the campaign.

Have you thought about a table to roll for all killed characters? (with results from loses next game to perma death).

I undeirstand there is no character progression around stats.

I would make the requisites for medals a bit more expensive.

How do bonus tokens work in this context?

That's a lot of questions…

Your welcome to help test, after I get a full set of base chararacter sheets done, I'll get a couple scenarios together to start trying things out.

Not sure how to answer the next couple questions, but I'm working on things.

As for the medals, those were only examples, the scenario itself will have a section listing what medals are available and how to earn them.

Bonus tokens are at the bottom of the list for testing right now so we'll see.

I haven't done too much with the game in awhile since I'm hoping to either find or hobble together a ruleset for larger battles, but I did glance at the campaign cards. Some quick thoughts.

It looks like you took some inspiration from the Zombicide cards with the EKG rhythm strip at the top of the card. I'd actually get rid of that, and maybe make the life circles darker and/or add a large number to the inside to make it easier to see how much life a character has. The starting life circle is very hard to see, at least for me. A darker shade of green might be a good idea.

The medals are a nice idea. I've toyed with the idea of a campaign system that awards characters based on achievements rather than simply finishing a mission. You might take some ideas from the character challenges for the medal requirements.

It looks like Miah built that in with his life upgrades. On the John MacNeal card, if you upgrade his life from the start (green) circle, some of his stats increase. 

Tannhauser month aside, what do you two think of an unofficial publication with fan-submissions to keep the game / world going? Do you think there is enough fan interest for that, or do we just have to accept that the Tannhauser community will leave for greener pastures after the Frankenstahl is released? 

Thanks for the comments everyone. One note for Rhydderch: the art is not final at all, so it all might change after some testing.

And now back to Tannhauser Month:
