Monster Grid

By diablo666, in Fan Creations

This is a sheet that you can use to lay all of the monsters onto a 12x12 grid instead of using a monster cup.
Just roll two dice that are twelve sided and use that result when a monster is needed.
You need to make up four counters that read "Up","Down","Left" and "Right" and place them randomly in one pile before you can use the grid.
If you roll a result that does not have a monster or you roll a mask monster when you cannot have them,then simply refer to the top counter and go in that direction until you get a monster that you can use.
Note:If both dice show a 12 then simply re-roll the dice.
Our group has been using this method for a very long time.It really helps with the wear and tear on your monster counters!!
Have fun with it and any comments are welcome!!

Ignore the above post as I cannot get the file to upload correctly.

Sorry to disappoint anyone who might go here.

I have uploaded the file on Boardgamegeek but it has not appeared there as of yet.I hope it will be up there very soon.

I just wanted to let people know that the PDF version of the monster grid is now up on boardgamegeek.com.

Enjoy!!

Comments are always welcome.

I hate to bag on your efforts here, dude, but wouldn't it be a heck of a lot easier to just... ya know... draw one from a bag or cup?

Doing so induces wear on the monster tokens (significantly more so than the method he's posted). Before he implemented this method, he literally wore out a significant amount of the monster chits such that images and important information were no longer visible. The second set of monster tokens has lasted over 200 plays so far and shows very little signs of wear on most of the tokens.

well... I have played roughly that much games with a bag and none of the monsters is damaged in any way.

How excited you guys get when you draw from the bag ? :-))
