Generic henchman cards for OP


Pathfinder Adventure Card Society


There has been a few occasions already where we use one card in place of another in OP either as a henchman or as a normal boon that gives a chance to close the location.

Rather than try to remember which boon is the special one or to ignore what it says on the henchman card and do what the scenario says would it be possible to get a set of eight generic henchman cards to cover this function.

Probably this would be via "Drive Through RPG" like the errata cards. Cards really just has to say "Refer to scenario special instructions" or something similar.

This would put less strain on my less than perfect memory.

Well in the case of the boon it's a real boon that you can gain, use, and use to upgrade your deck so a generic card wouldn't fulfill that utility.


I personally copied the card image from the PDF and printed enough copies for the scenario. I'll insert it into a sleeved henchman card when I play it. Not something I can share since it isn't covered under community use, but something worth considering for your own copy of the game.


For "Salvage Operations," I plan to cut a Post-It into strips labelled with the appropriate boon type and stick them on the location card. Much lower-tech than Hawkmoon's solution, but also quick and cheap! 8>)

For our attempt of Salvage Operations, we took another random card of the appropriate type and placed it under the location, with the card type sticking out. Naturally, you'd have to shuffle those back into the deck if you needed a random card of that type, but at least we didn't have to try to remember. You could do this with higher-numbered cards from a player's class deck box, too.

I like Hawkmoon's suggestion about the Azu, but our box isn't sleeved, so that wouldn't work. A placeholder henchman would have been nice, as there was always that "What's this, a Ruffian? He's only a 7..." moment before we'd remember.

Hell, if you're talking about having DriveThruRPG make cards, why not print the actual Azu?
