Hey all.OK so im trying to think of the best way of putting this into a post. but i would much rather just put it bluntly with my question.
Are rumour cards a bit stupid and are the rules not very clear for them?
There i've said it.
now i own mutliple expansions
nerekhall
labyrinth of ruin
lair of the wyrm
The trollfens
The chains that rust
multiple Hero & Monster expansions
mainly bought the mini expansions for the classes and monsters. but we recently started a campaign and wanted to throw everything into the mix "Lets go the whole hog!"
we could be thrown plot twists to send the hero's off on different paths incorporating lair of the wyrm, the trollfens and the H&M quests, plenty to give us a fun packed varied campaign
the overlord says....
"erm so what do i do with these"
"lets read the rules"
.
.
..
...
"OK...so what do we do with these again?"
"not a clue lets just leave them out of this campaign"
and that's what seems to happen.
we look at the cards...read them and then go..right so what do we do next?
so the issue for me having incorporated all of the rumours together and owning a good few expansions is "so which quest is that from? which book do we need to get out"
some rumour cards have direct effects on the campaign as a whole.
however the quest ones....im lost
lets take an example card
GHOST TOWN
If you have played the "food for Worms" or the "Three Heads, One Mind" Rumour card, discard this card and draw a new one.
Play the card at the start of a Campaign Phase during Act 1. While in play, this card is treated as an available quest.

ok so i know its a quest..but all of these cards feel like they are missing something. so i know its a quest card, because that is stated, which expansion is it from? i need to go grab all of the quest books and find it.
lets say we do that!
we play the quest..regardless of who wins.
what happens next. is that it regarding the mini quest?
do you not get to embark on the next quest in that mini campaign?
please someone clear this up for us,i look at these rumour cards and go "meh" we want them to be able to really throw twists and turns into our campaigns.
thanks and sorry for the long post
