This document has been created with the help of the BGG community in an attempt to correct some gameplay problems that have been identied in the scenarios of Mansions of Madness. This document contains revisions to many of the cards that may cause a scenario to become unbalanced (or even broken), broken), or even just un-fun. There are also an assortment of other enhanced components that when used will hopefully make your games even more enjoyable. Many thanks especially to BGG users salty53, for the scenario breakdowns on which most of the revised mechanics in this mod are based, Hinnyboy for constantly making me think, Matildadad for providing the templates used to create the cards, and Gnome01 for the thumbs!
General Rule Changes Madness using When playing Mansions of Madness components from this le, the following rule changes are in effect for all games:
Keeper Actions Keeper action cards now fall into three types: • Normal Actions are the same as in the base game rules; the keeper may use them as many times as he likes without restriction providing he has the threat to pay for them. • Restricted Actions may be performed as many times as the keeper likes, but only once per round on each target of the action.
• Diminishing Actions Actions may be performed as many times as the keeper wishes, but the cost in threat increases by 1 for each time it is used beyond the rst in a single round (so +1 threat the second time it is used, +2 the third time, etc).
Event Cards All players may read all Event cards before the scenario begins, if they wish. The keeper may may read through the deck of Event cards at any time while the game is in progress. Additionally, Event 5 no longer ends Additionally, e nds the game directly in any of the scenarios. Instead, most Event 5 cards now contain an effect that will remain in play until the end of the game (either the investigators win or the keeper wins by completing their objective). If in the unlikely event that both the investigators and the keeper complete their objectives simultaneously (or are unable to complete their objectives), the game is considered a draw.
Clue Cards & Skill Points Whenever an investigator uncovers a clue card while exploring, all investigators receive 1 skill point.
Starting Items Investigators may not use other investigators’ starting items (though may still pick them up and carry them if need be).
Investigator Death
Stun Tokens
Whenever any investigator is killed before the objective is revealed, the keeper immediately gains bonus threat equal to the number of investigators.
Stun tokens now have the following effects for monsters and investigators:
Monster Secrecy Investigator players may not look under the base of a monster until it is killed or otherwise removed from play.
Lock Cards Investigators must reveal and resolve any Lock cards in rooms that they are attempting to either enter or exit (meaning it is now possible for investigators to get “locked in”).
Fire The following three rules are added to the standard rules regarding re: • Whenever a re and a darkness token are present in the same room together, the effects of the darkness no longer apply (you can place the re token on top of the darkness token to remind you of this). The darkness token remains on the board however, and it will continue to have its effect if ever the re token is removed. • If ever a zombie ends its turn in a room on re, after it has taken its damage as normal, it becomes a aming zombie. Place a re token on the zombie to denote this. A aming zombie gains -1 to its horror rating and +1 to its damage rating. The zombie is not affected by the re token in any other way. • A room may contain more than one re token (though not more re tokens than the number of spaces that make up the room, as stated on the Pyromania card). A gure ending its turn in a room on re takes an amount of damage equal to the number of re tokens in the room (instead of the standard 2 damage as in the original rules).
• Investigators with a stun token receive 1 fewer Movement Step during their turn and suffer a -2 penalty to all attributes. If an investigator receives a stun token during his turn, he immediately loses 1 Movement Step, if he has any remaining. • Monsters with a stun token move 1 fewer space during their turn and suffer a +/-2 penalty to all die rolls made during combat. Monsters discard stun tokens at the end of the Monster Attack Step.
Component Limitations All status effect tokens (such as darkness and re) are considered limited. If ever a player must place one on the board and there are none in the supply, the player must take one from elsewhere on the board to use.
Suggested Rule Changes These rule changes are suggested but not obligatory. Use them if your group agrees with the philosophy behind their intent. In any game of Mansions of Madness - whether using these revised rules or the base rules - some choices are simply better than others and may lead to players always choosing the best of any particular set of options, leading to less variety between games. If you think it might be more interesting to see a greater variety of options being played out, with the players adjusting their strategies to the strengths of what they are presented with rather than just choosing the superior option every time, use these two rules:
Random Story Choices At the beginning of the game, the story choice markers for the scenario are placed face down and mixed up. The keeper then selects his story choices randomly.
Random Trait Cards At the beginning of the game, each investigator player randomises the two physical trait cards for his investigator and selects one without looking. He then does the same for his investigator’s mental trait cards.
Mythos Cards This variant is for those who nd the constant interruption of Mythos cards an annoyance and/or nd that the Mythos cards create unthematic situations when played to interrupt an investigator’s turn (for example, a Mythos card stating that an investigator is exploring a room when in fact they are just passing through it). Unless the Mythos card species a specic time when it should be played (i.e, “Play when an investigator attempts to cast a spell...”, etc), the keeper may now play Mythos cards only:
• During his own turn; all requirements on the card must still be fullled, and the keeper spends threat to play the card, as usual. Only one Mythos card may be played on each investigator during the keeper’s turn. Any effects on Mythos cards that refer to “this turn” refer to the investigators’ upcoming turn. • At the beginning of an Explore action; again, requirements must be fullled, but the keeper gets to play the card for free. One card may be played at the beginning of each Explore action (regardless of whether that investigator had a Mythos card played on him/her during the keeper’s turn, or whether the investigator somehow receives more than one Explore action in a turn). The effects of the Mythos card are carried out before any exploration cards in the room are revealed. If the effects of the Mythos card mean that the room can then not be explored (for example, the Mythos card makes the investigator gain a horror, followed by a Panic trauma, meaning the investigator is no longer in the room), the Explore action is still considered spent.
ScenarioSpecific Rule Changes The following pages contain overlays to replace certain sections in the Investigator and Keeper Guides for each scenario. You can either keep these as separate sheets, or you can print them on to label sheets, cut them out, and stick them into the Guides in the correct places.
Additional Setup Instructions Keep the “Raise Dead” and “Pyromania” keeper action cards nearby.

Special Rules Investigators may use the action on the “Torch” card without discarding it.
Special Rules This scenario may only be played if there are two or more investigator players. Investigators may attack each other as if they were humanoid monsters. The keeper may not use “Uncontrollable Urges” to make an investigator attack another investigator with a spell. If the keeper hands an investigator a face down Mythos card, that investigator may look at it but may not share this information with other players. The card is revealed when the investigator dies. Whenever an investigator explores a room, the keeper takes the exploration cards, looks at them, then passes them to the investigator face down. Investigators must keep any cards in their possession face down (though may look at those cards themselves at any time) and may not tell other players what face down cards they hold. A card is only turned face up when it is used for the rst time (cards that provide a continuous bonus are revealed the rst time the bonus becomes relevant, such as when an attribute test is performed). Investigators may still exchange cards as normal, with the card retaining its orientation for the exchange. Clue cards are never revealed nor may they be read out (though they may still be exchanged) - the nder of the clue may only state where he believes the next clue to be located. The keeper may not reveal what is written on the Objective card unless a rule specically allows him to.
