Hi guys & gals. So when I got the expansions I noticed I got some cool tiles, such as the Hidden Laboratory, the Morgue, Operating Theater and Operating Room.

Are these used in any scenarios? Me and my gf have been watching Riget , an old Swedish/Danish horror tv-series that takes place at a hospital, and both were sort of itching for a scenario in that kind of setting. But to my eyes, none of the current scenarios seem to be themed around something like that?

Are the tiles just a leftover from the first edition?

No such thing thus far - i hope they'll get more use - though i feel dearly departed is inspired by lovecraft's pseudomedicinal "herbert west, reanimator". The setting is someplace else, though.

Hmmm...

Hopefully there will be some new DLC with a madhouse theme or something like that.

I noticed the same thing! I keep wondering if there was just something that was being overlooked as far as tile usage. I'm surprised that they would make what is essentially a reprint to work with the new game if they weren't planning on a release with the expansion.

The trouble i'm imagining they have now is that for a new scenario to be designed around those specific tiles as a key to the story, they either need to 1)exclude customers who haven't invested in that particular tile set (not likely to happen?), 2)make those tiles an optional secondary layout for a scenario. But the core set doesn't provide for such a theme. So they might eventually 3) make an expansion to get that covered, in which the currently unused tile set pieces will fill a complementary role.

Yes, I can see where that would be a lack of resources to try and prep DLC content for a limited audience. Maybe homebrew will tackle these tiles.

But you could also turn that around, it might trigger more people to buy the (optional) Tiles & Figures sets.
Which would eventually make it easier for them to reach a bigger audience if they mix tilesets.
