Tannhäuser Tuesday - M.U.R.08 Character Sheet and Tokens

Krisztov Moeller's father Hans created this robot and left it to his son when he died. Some of the work was done while on the Reich payroll, but Hans Moeller took his work with him when his projects lost their funding following the discoveries at Giza.

Once again I would like to say thank you to Malechi for his great work cleaning up and coloring the M.U.R.08 character art. Once again I sent a trading card scan and he did a great job. I added some texture and lettering after I got the robot art from Malechi.

Tannhäuser Tuesday - Day of the Jackal




Matthäus Lang was on a mission on the eastern border of Reich Territory when he discovered a cache of plundered art and antiquities. Lang disguised a disfigured corpse in his own uniform and left his life in the Reich Luftwaffe behind. The Jackal was born.

The money didn't last, but Lang is a talented and driven man and he set out on a career as a private operative and soldier of fortune ever since.

Krisztov Moeller became concerned for his own safety and that of the Lady Furstenstein. Freind of his father recommended the Jackal, Moeller hired him and over time Lang has grown quite loyal to him.


You can find the full size Double Page Character Sheet here.

You can get the full size Tokens here.

I would like to say a very special thank you to Malechi for his great work cleaning up and coloring the Jackal character. He started with a scan of a trading card I made and did fantastic job.

Thanks Mal!!!

Tannhäuser Tuesday - The Mummy Strikes!!!


By littlewars

"The Eye Of Horus is a symbol of health perverted by Set, the god of violence and evil. This amulet, created as a healing aid, now has quite the opposite effect. In the expert hands of Hermann Von Heïzinger the gaze of the Eye is the gaze of a vengeful God."
- FFG Bonus Token, Eye of Horus



A hybrid of a token and character, with a scenario flavor, this month's special U-Chronic Halloween edition features the mummy Hor-Aha.

A favored disciple of Horus, he was slain through the trickery of the rival god Set. The pharaoh Hor-Aha was the original owner of the ancient Wedjat that became corrupted by Set. Centuries later it was discovered by Von Heïzinger who would wield its powers as his own.

The card lists all the necessary rules for the token. For the sake of clarity I will expand on a couple of finer points:

Curse Of Hora-Aha follows standard bonus token rules and occupies an Equipment Slot on the character sheet. It costs 1 Victory Point to equip a character with the token. It is placed (during an Action Phase) on the Entry Point regardless of the character's current location (there is no condition the character be adjacent). The token can only activate once the current Sequence is completed.

Hor-Aha is a token and not a character. Thus, he may not pick up or place flags in certain Game Modes. He is activated like a character and may only move or attack like a character. He also blocks all character movement (including the controlling player's team) and may be Bull Rushed (or Dueled) and attacked (with a shock roll) like a character.

The mummy can only attack characters with a Reich Affiliation Symbol; either the Obscura Korps, the Blutstrum Divison, or the Paranormal Division. Hor-Aha contributes to Victory Points by eliminating any enemy characters. Eliminating Hor-Aha does not count towards earning Victory Points for your opponent, he is not a Hero or a Trooper.


Optional Curse Of Hor-Aha Game Aids



You can use an optional miniature for Hor-Aha. Just swap the token from the character card for the Hor-Aha mini when you decide to deploy him. It is not necessary, but the mini is useful to remind players that Hor-Aha blocks movement. I recommend the D&D miniature #28 Guardian Mummy, an uncommon from the Desert of Desolation set.



The Hor-Aha character sheet is also optional. It helps keep track of health and includes a summary of Hor-Aha's special rules. You can also keep track of wounds without the card. For example, you could place a marker on Hor-Aha or rotate the token (say, to face your opponent) if you receive a wound.



Tannhauser Halloween Game Ideas

The Curse of Hor-Aha and the Eye Of Horus tokens make a good combination for a Halloween game. If you wish to further mix things up, consider adding any of the following variants:

• Fantasy Flight Game's Trick Or Treat Mask Bonus Token
• U-Chronic Sentinel Token, a demonic sentry
• Savage Tale's Hellboy and Hellboy Summer Pack
The Black Fortress Scenario at Black Sheep Archives

The unmarked plane is believed to be piloted by the rouge ace known as "Pique La Lune", a french national suspected of smuggling antiquities, including mummified remains, from the Ombos dig.

Later, when tracked to Constantinople, he is observed in the company of mercenary Wolfgang Otto Ludwig Friedrich, thought dead.

Tannhäuser Wednesday

Fantasy Flight finally got around to posting up a translation of the Official U-Chronic Universe Chronology. Unfortunately, it is full of errors. I combed through all available versions and combined them into my current best version. This is a work in progress, so if you spot any errors or can clarify any points, feel free to let me know so I can update it.
