Homebrew - Playable Characters, Allies


Homebrew and House Rules


My PNP group was excited to play PACG, but were disappointed that they would no longer be playing as their PNP characters. To fix this problem, I created their characters in PACG-compatible form, and even made several important NPCs as allies. I have plans to create additional allies, items, monsters, etc. as we progress through the campaign. If there's some interest, I will continue to post the new cards as I create them.

Each character has a unique color of card sleeve for their decks, as well as a stack of extras. All other cards are sleeved in Silver sleeves. This prevents anyone from being able to distinguish from the PACG cards and my custom Volaris-themed (also a homebrew system) cards. As players acquire or trade cards, they quickly re-sleeve the cards in their color. It doesn't take too long, and has since seemed to work out well.

The artwork on my custom cards is not amazing, but it's adequate. We are enjoying playing game.

(Kaylynn's healing ability allows her to roll, and then choose from target's discard pile which cards to shuffle into target's deck.)

(The factions of the allies are important. During the game, any character may attempt to acquire any ally, but between encounters, when you're building your deck, you may only have allies from one faction in your deck. I.E. you may NOT have both Coreth and Zamyr allies in your deck at the beginning of an encounter. Again, this thematically matches our PNP campaign.)

Anyone else making custom cards for this game? I have found the rules are simple enough that it's easy to incorporate custom content into the scenario, or even make new scenarios from scratch.


You and Polyphemus should get together. He's done some impressive scenarios and adventures. There are probably others on BGG (well, I know there are), but I don't prowl those boards. Over here, there are few besides Polyphemus doing it.


I'm considering doing the same thing, not so much with characters, but with adventures, scenarios, locations, and monsters if need be. I already got one adventure down for the most part, just need to jot down everything.
