I voted 2, 3 and 4. I might have done 5 instead, but I think it's best not to overwhelm the players with too many kinds of monster in the same pack. By the way, if you choose to make a new Undead figure, make sure it has at least 3 body points!

I voted 3. I would like to think this is the option an official release would have taken.

Re: Choose your monsters for the 25th Quest Pack

I went option 1 to mirror the release of the original system Quests and Kellar's Keep. The gray monsters highlighted in a Chaos theme is great, paralles the KK and RotWL, and deserves focus. I'd also like to see Skaven and Chaos Dwarf Quest packs done by Inn members as collaberative events, but I think they would be stronger if done seperately.

As an alternative, could the story line represent those divisions as a trilogy? The first 10 stories would form a chapter that only require the base game figures featuring Chaos, and it would come to some kind of completion for those that don't have more figures. The story would then resume in the next chapter with 7 Skaven-themed Quests and have a finish. Finally, the story arc would fully finish in the last chapter of Quests containing Chaos Dwarfs.

The end of the Skaven chapter would be the perfect time for Morcar to reveal himself as the Wizard's father. :o

I went 1 & 3 myself.

Like I wrote way back in the other thread: I think that either we keep it 100% base set or we go in 100% with new monsters, stats and rules.
Both have their advantages. Base set is available to everybody. Print and play, that's it.
But new monsters have a lot of appeal. That's the big pull about the NA expansions in my opinion (It sure ain't the untested quests!!!).

I think we should simply do whatever the poll tells us to do. We could be (and have) discussing what to do with monsters till the end of time. Lots of people, lots of opinions, no project manager. We'll just have to take the vote and get going. I think I speak for all of us when I say the fun part is making the content, not discussing the framework.

If we can vote multiple times, that nullifies the votes for one person who wants one choice multiple times. This poll is radically flawed, and cannot result in a fair decision. It mixes second and third priorities into a priority one position.

What about a point/priority list
Choose two options from the list, number one gets two points, number two gets one point. When the two weeks are up the points are counted.

1
4


1
3

Gives a total of

1=4 points
3=1 point
4=1 point
