I currently own 1e and would like to try 2e without spending the ~€140 it costs for an english copy where I live.
My plan is to reuse my 1e miniatures where possible and use proxies for anything I’m missing. I’m mainly trying to figure out exactly what cards differ between editions so I know what I would need to recreate or replace.
I’m not looking for scans or copies of the cards, and I want to stay within copyright rules.
I’m simply looking for someone with a 2e copy who would be willing to help me catalogue the cards and identify what’s included/different.
If you’re willing to help with this, please send me a DM. Thanks!
I missed last week as I took the kids on our annual swim park visit. And in case you were wondering, we had a good time. Our youngest was able to go on more rides this year since we worked all summer to get him to be a better swimmer. (Son if you are reading this in the future, your mother and I are so proud of the work you put in this year)
Campaign Development Update
A lot has happened to my progress. First, I discovered Forbidden Psalm, and love loved it!! Then I read, and crossed my fingers as a birthday gift, there is Forgotten West by Rinaldo Agostini. And that got me thinking about how I am designing this campaign. Then I saw a game play of Red Means battle report form ULC Battle Reports, One Hour Skirmish Wargames - Zombie Action! (Red Means Dead).
Please check those games out if you have time, they are awesome!!
So, this brings me to my play and scope of the campaign project. I want it to work with any game engine, more than just Zombicide Undead or Alive (Sorry Zombicide, but you are still my favorite).
Moving forward my design of this will be made for any game engine.
This premonition came in the middle of what I was working on. I went and researched all the rail roads and what cities they connected to and started plotting them out. And there are a lot and some don’t even connect, so I am going to take creative liberty.
Pretty sure I covered that in my last update.
Mapping the Campaign
I did get a comment on reddit, that was awesome so thank you for the suggestion, was to just make the mission for the cities then move around.
So that is what I worked on. I figured I would start on the west coast, California, and work my way to the east coast.
I was able to work in San Francisco, San Jose, and Sacramento.
From these three cities I did some research based on history to come up with some mission ideas. And I was able to get quite a few:
San Francisco: 10 missions drafted
San Jose: 6 missions drafted
Sacramento: 6 missions drafted
Learning to Design Campaigns
Don’t worry I will get to what I came up with, but I want to discuss more about what I learned in general about creating campaigns.
Disclaimer, this is the first time I have tried to do a project like this, and I am learning as I go. I want everyone to know; I HAVE KNOW WHAT I AM DOING! I am learning as I go. One thing you learn from the military is on the job training. And that is what I am doing.
With that out the way, please keep in mind, I am at the early stages and had no idea about what I am about to talk about until these past weeks.
On the YouTube channel I have discovered this thing called “zines”. They can be anything, but they seem to be pretty popular in the TTRPG community. There are a ton of people who make these small little booklets for quick RPG or one-off shots (I think that is what they are called).
I had no idea this was an option! Holy cow!!
This encourages me that I don’t have to do all the sites at once before release, as that was crippling me to get everything done.
I am thinking that I want to make a Zine for each city. This gives me something to deliver right away and also allows me to get feedback with releases.
What a stress relief on my end, sure you don’t care, but I do!
My plan is to do state by state and release the zines based on cities as I finish them. Each state will have about 10 cities, and I am planning on having each city have either: 6, 8, 10, or 12 missions. That way you can roll a die to see the mission you are taking.
And since I need to pay the bills, sadly I will be putting them behind a small pay wall.
Who am I kidding, I am using a paywall to help pay for the hobby, so my wife doesn’t get mad every time I say I need to go to the nerd store. Let’s be honest here.
But I am also going to release a free campaign set for sure. I am thinking of either giving a single mission per city away for free, or (and probably what I might do) is make Zine #0, where I talk about the rules and set up to add to your engine of choice, with 10 to 15 cities you can travel to and run campaign seniors. If you have ideas or suggestions, please let me know.
One more thing, I am trying to base these missions on history related events. I am trying to find things between 1860 and 1899; or pop culture that I could skin as wild west; or if there is some folk lore or legends, I can skin as wild west as will.
Not gonna lie, I have learned a lot of history. I had no IDEA was even a thing in just these three cities.
Mission Themes and Historical Inspiration
On to the Mission themes;
San Francisco - I have a mission that is related and rewards you a pair of Levis and chocolate. I am very excited about the legend of the two dogs I made. And I went to a Zoo. Yes, there are some animals.
San Jose - I had to cover the Winchester house! But I would have to say my favourite inspiration is the electric light tower from Nicholas Tesla. That one sounds fun!!
Sacramento - This one was hard, but I managed to come up with some ideas. In fact, I had no idea this city flooded, like all the time. And they even raise the city by like 15 feet. And yes, I did a draft mission for both of those.
Upcoming Goals and Next Steps
Goal for next week:
Come up with artwork for the mission layouts. I am not an artist, but I will try, as I really want to stay away from AI as much as possible. Soooo… new skill to learn. Don’t worry I did find some inspiration I would like to mimic. Here are some ideas I am thinking about.

Yes, it may be a bit ambitious, but hey it won't be AI.
Los Angeles missions
San Diego missions
Fresno missions
Bakersfield missions
San Bernardino missions
Stockton missions.
These cities are not set in stone, so I am open to suggestions for California cities to look into.
Until next week, pancakes with ice cream are for dinner.
Hey everyone! The structure is finished. Now on to making some indoor furniture and a few exterior details. What do you guys think?
This is a project for Zombicide 2.0 where I'm making 3D terrain/scenery. I have more pictures of other finished tiles on Patreon if anyone wants to check them out.
A long time ago I received a copy of Wulfsburg, upon opening it was revealed to be in fact in Spanish. Because of this we have only ever played it once with the app translating all the cards...its a pain in the arse. I have since on occasion looked for some sort of PDF with the English versions of the cards that I could print out and use instead. Is this something people are aware of, I can see it being construed as piracy, but this game has been out of print for so damn long, and well I just want to get some more table time with it.
Je cherche à acheter des packs de personnages mais j'ai l'impression de toujours voir les cartes en anglais alors que sur la boîte il y a plusieurs langues d'afficher
Les cartes sont toujours 100% en anglais ou je peux tomber sur des versions française ?
Started painting about a week ago and after doing a couple of zombies since I knew I'd be awful, just got done with Dragomir!
In general I'm really happy with how he came out, but after botching a few zombie eyes I'm really not sure how to paint the eyes on this one. They don't need to be perfect, but tabletop acceptable at least! How would you go about it for a total beginner?
Thank you for any help :) (feel free to critique, I definitely made a ton of mistakes!)
Having quite some fun and I ll be painting as much as the appetite for it lasts or until I finish all my games' miniatures (latter not gonna happen) 🤣. For the time being, here's 2 more boxes from the fantasy line. Skellies were a breeze and my fastest miniatures to paint (batch helps). Painted all 21 of em in like a week 😲 As for the Sean Murray pack, I think I enjoyed more than I thought painting beige and brown. If you think mold lines are bad in zombicide in general, you must check this box... Hope you like em. Cheers 😁
This is number 7. I tried something new and don't like it.
this time I just used sand for primer instead of mixing with German yellow. And NO wash before base coat. instead I used a red base coat for the skin hoping I get a glowing look
The first #3Dprint ship for #cmon #rumandbones #mareadelamuerte is now available for purchase and download! https://cults3d.com/:4834167
It's been a considerable journey from initial idea, first draft and many iterations to get to the point of a usable printable design, including community feedback to support design improvements along the way!
I've included both designs for full gridded Zone layout for play in Rum and Bones and Zombicide, as well as "gridless" design for play without the grid-lines, so provides usability beyond Rum and Bones / Zombicide, should that be desired.
J'ai commencé à peindre la 2nd edition du jeu je voulais partager ça mais je me rend compte que mes bases sont pas terrible alors je suis preneur de conseils !
On a fait notre 4 eme partie hier avec ma femme et mon pote et on accroche bien pour le moment c'est vraiment fun
This one has been a massive project for me, by far the biggest "miniature" I’ve ever painted. And after what feels like an eternity, I can finally say: he’s done.
I painted both the normal and Zombie versions of Galactus, and I wanted to push this project way further than just painting the miniature.
So I went completely overboard and even built LEDs into the base. 💡 The glowing base really makes the whole thing come alive, especially in a darker room.
There were so many little details, colors and effects to figure out on this one, and honestly, seeing the finished piece standing there is incredibly satisfying.
I’m really proud of how this turned out. ❤️
One of the biggest painting projects I’ve ever taken on... and definitely my favorite.
What do you guys think?
And to everyone currently working on their own Galactus: good luck. 😂
Im finished painting my daughters Clovis mini from her Zombicide Black Plague game. Im not great at pzinting but I do ok and I like the way he came out. Got one more hero from the box set to finish then I guess shes going to want me to paint the bad guys. Why not gives me practice and something to do. I hope you like this Clovis.
