What news ?

What next for Mansions of Madness ?


Since the release of the 2nd edition, extensions have followed one another, generally offering the same content. Even if we witness small contributions, no upheaval on the overall functioning of the game.

Here are some improvements I would love to see released. And you ???

  • a campaign or Legacy mode with :
    • linked scenarios,
    • evolving investigators,
    • material to keep,
    • investigators or options to unlock (like in a video game),
    • after scenario bonus cards and penalties,
    • after scenario, actions chose that have consequences for the future,
    • "relationship" cards between investigators who are within range, offering bonuses and penalties in their interactions (as in one of the extensions of Arkham Horror 2d edition board game)
  • that future extensions offer elements that cannot be played immediately, but that they should be unlocked during the scripts of the extension in question (a bit like Legacy games), to be used later in the other scripts
  • a remote mode : we could play remotely by interacting each on the same stage and each at home / even, scripts with complementary teams who do different things to achieve the same goal (a bit like in the of the Dream World to Arkham Horror Card Game)
  • a Game Master assistant who could generate events, puzzles and fights but everything else is managed by a humain Game Master, as in MoM V1, but who would avoid a good part of the somewhat heavy preparation
  • a new version of the figurines of the V1 investigators
  • provision of all V1 scenarios on the app, POD included

120% agree with you hermes94600 especially in "a Game Master assistant who could generate events, puzzles and fights but everything else is managed by a humain Game Master, as in MoM V1, but who would avoid a good part of the somewhat heavy preparation"

I am not against the app in Mansions of Madness but there still should be a game mode that allow one of players to be a Game Master. It is also a fun to be Game Master.

I like the way that app was introduced to games: Imperial Assault and Descent. The app is not necessary to play the game. The app is kind of extension of game.

Dreams :) :

Maybe in third edition we will have opportunity to play in two game modes (fully cooperative and 1 vs 4 or 5 - without app). Maybe third edition would be a combination of first and second edition of MoM?
