The Blood in the Forest Expansion sees the heroes fight their way deeper into the forested mountains, and can be added to LNOE: Timber Peak or directly to the original Last Night on Earth. Featuring a full set of new Forest Boards (4 Comers and 4 Straight pieces) as well as a new double-sided Forest Center Board (with the Airfield), a set of 7 vicious new Feral Zombies, 2 new Heroes (Sister Ophelia, the reformed man, Agent Carter, an FBI agent who knows more about the outbreak than he lets on), as well as a host of new Hero and Zombie cards, counters, scenarios, and game mechanics. Blood in the Forest also expands on the Fire and Upgrades systems originally introduced in LNOE: Timber Peak. As the Zombie plague spreads, the forests will run red!'

Any idea on if promos will be offered through flyingfrog for ordering through them?

I haven't heard anything yet. I would keep my eyes peeled though.

I'm still intrigued by the turn of phrase "2 new Heroes"...

Since every other expansion has come with 4 characters, I am still crossing my fingers for more survivors. Since the two characters specified are new, I am hoping we see 2 more returning survivors (who maybe got lost or separated from the group on their way to Timber Peaks).

Personally I am rooting for Amanda and Rochelle, although I imagine we'd see at least one more male. Sam works.

I think survivor heroes will be a big part of this and future expansions. But not all the original cast will get the 'upgrade'.

I wanna see some Victor make it out!

For those who haven't seen it yet, here it is, straight from GAMMA

So after watching the video I was able to read all of the card for Sister Ophelia.

She has 3 wounds.

She also has:

Redemption: May take a wound to cancel a fight on the roll of 3+.

Dark Past: Anytime she kills a zombie, roll a D6, on a roll of 4+ she may heal a wound.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I am curious about the new spawning point colors...why the yellow?

Also the only time I could imagine redemption being useful is if the feral or behemoth zombie can cause more than 1 wound in a fight otherwise you are taking a wound to avoid either additional wounds or maybe a vicious attack card of sorts.
