Would luv to see if anyone can make some carnival/circus board sections or even a centre board just wish I was a bit more of a whizz on a computer.

We had the exact same discussion here. Demand is now rising.

Circus clowns don’t scare me. Unless they’re driving the plane, train or clown car I’m riding in. But by and large, painted faces, day-glo hair, putty noses, and even sweet ass multi-colored pajamas don’t invoke any suppressed fear within. I’m pretty well-balanced that way. But circus monkeys are a different tale. I have a deep-rooted fear of having chimpanzee poop thrown at me.

That’s another blog entirely.

But in Scary or Die, a new indie horror movie that’s just now arriving on DVD, VOD, OMG, LOL, WTF, has a flesh-eating clown in it. That’s kinda scary. It also has a vengeful Necromancer (noun 1. a method of divination through alleged communication with the dead; black art), a dirty cop (unwashed officer of the law and/or a corrupt badge wearer), Mexican zombies (Aye caramba!), and a mysterious woman and lonely man looking for love in all the wrong places (Wal-Mart™, garbage can, my apartment).

If you haven’t figured it out already, Scary or Die is (from the website) “five interwoven horror stories that take place in and around the “City of Angles.” (I think they mean Los Angeles. That, or some town loaded with clowns and… Never mind, it’s Los Angeles.)

Scarydk,

I definitely understand your point. I kind of disagree that it would slow the game down enough to be much of a problem, though. I mean, there is already so much rolling for this or that. I don't think it would be too much of a problem. But, again, I have not yet play tested it. So, you could be right.

Not to mention, just like the Grave Dead Zombies, I would personally think the Zombie Clowns should be limited to 7. Also, (again, just like Grave Dead) I would say that you have to sacrifice putting 2 zombies on the board in order to put one Zombie Clown. So, the chances are it won't happen too often that there are several Zombie Clown fights all at once.

One of the main reason I like the idea of rolling for a different power each time is that I wouldn't want to give them too many powers all at once. I would worry that would make them a little too over-powered. I mean, something like letting them move more than just one space, and at the same time having more fight dice... to me that just adds too much. But, maybe that is just me.

Again, to each his own for sure. I have yet to play test this, so if I do, maybe I will find that rolling again for a new power each fight would be too much.

I agree.

That said, I do like to see them a bit over powered because they're supposed to be mean suckers Didn't think of the spawn option mimicking the one for spawning grave dead or grave weapons. Good idea.

Like you staypuft I think some play testing is needed before concluding anything. It probably will need some altering.

I have these.







If you are going to use the Zombies!!! Clowns they could be evil midget clowns as there are smaller than the lnoe mini's.
There is also no clown in the heroes from Invasion From Outer Space, I just checked. Could be that there is a card in it that has something to do with clowns but I'm not sure. A quick look trough the deck didn't come up with anything. But I'm kinda short on time to look thoroughly.

Thank you. These tengu models are indeed a nice addition to the game. In my gaming group they are by far the most favorite characters on the board

Emp, those Zombie Clowns are AWESOME! I may have to look into those myself. Where do we find them, again? Were they one of the links in this thread?

[Emp]

Tengu models. Yes, the link is here somewhere bro.
