Tracks of Death - Hunt System Upgrade

Author: Venim and Maximo1984  

The track system adds agency to the Hunt Event phase by allowing the departing survivors to choose between 3 distinct tracks, each with their own dangers and rewards. Each adds a simple and yet meaningful decision to offset the purely random chance of the hunt phase.  

When you begin your hunt phase you will have the option to choose between 3 tracks; Your choice determines how you want to travel towards your prey. You may either take The Beaten Path, The Monster's Trail, or The Unknown Way.  

Tracks of Death Rules In order to use the route system, add these to the existing rules for the Hunt Board Setup.  

Look through and sort the Hunt Event: Tracks of Death cards into 3 decks according to their Track Name, found below the title of each card. If a card does not have a route name, then do not add it to any deck and keep it archived in the box until specified.  

Before leaving the Start Space the first event revealer decides which track to take. Return the other Track Decks to the box, assemble and shuffle the Chosen Route Deck.  

For the duration of the Hunt Phase, whenever any game text instructs you to roll on the Hunt Event Table, or have any unspecified Basic Hunt Event; shuffle and draw a card from your current Chosen Track Deck instead.  

Upon reaching and completing Overwhelming Darkness (or its replacement), the players have the option to select a new route as their Chosen Track Deck. Shuffle (and construct) the new deck if necessary. This effect only occurs the first time you complete the Overwhelming Darkness event.

Tracks of Death - Hunt System Upgrade

Comments

MPC is still the best printer from the US, just preset links break easy.

Tommy Rayburn

Thanks. Any recommendations for printing?

Adolfo Etchegaray

We stopped supporting pre-done MPC links due to MPC failing more often than not.

Tommy Rayburn

The MPC links stopped working…

Adolfo Etchegaray

If you go into the file link, you will see a folder for just for core. Saying that, the best part of Tracks is the expanded ability to tell stories that evolve.

Tommy Rayburn

I see, thanks for replying! I'm new to the game and would like to experience it as designed before I expand on anything. That being said, I'm all for streamlining the experience so I want to target the core 1.6 events only. Is there a link for that? What would you recommend?

Antoni Strzałkowski

That’s because the decks have been split up and expanded.

Tommy Rayburn

I want to print only the base game events and I'm a bit confused if I should print just deck 1 or all three. Also, deck 1 has only 92 cards on MPC link, again I'm confused - there are 100 events in the table.

Antoni Strzałkowski

It works for anything that pulls from the 1d100 hunt events.

Tommy Rayburn

A general question: I have used Tracks of death in all my campaigns since now. Is it compatible with “People of the dream keeper” ?

Steffen Plath

I had the same issue others are reporting. It appears to be directly tied to MPC & being logged into an account (for me). When I bring them up they are all different, then when I complete and add one to cart, then log in - all the other links turn into the last one I processed. My solution was to: Go 1 deck at a time. Not be logged in. Once added to cart then log in so that it's in your cart (I also saved it to projects), then log out. Go to the next deck, do the same, log in only once it's in your cart (& is the correctly named, unique deck). Log out again - rinse and repeat. This took all of 5 minutes, if that, and resolved the issue I was having. Cheers!

Are you on chrome? If so, Can you do me a favor and try in another browser and tell me if the problem persists?

Tommy Rayburn

First time I opened them they where different but now they are all the same

Alexander Løvendal la Motte

I just checked and am not getting that error. I see each link being new decks. On discord? Maybe come and ask there so we can help figure this out.

Tommy Rayburn

All mpc links lead me to the same page as well...

vasilhs savopoulos

Pack 4 is located here! https://www.patreon.com/posts/tracks-of-death-53329361

Alexander Freeman

all three links (Deck 1, Deck 2 and Deck 3) are the same for me. Is that right?

Sebastian Ocampo

On the CCG discord? If so, bring it up because I am having no errors at all.

Tommy Rayburn

I just noticed, that all the MPC links take me to the same page where it has 93 of the large cards, starting with hunt event 01.

Son of Nocturne

I just checked and they worked for me. Tell me what you are seeing.

Tommy Rayburn

The link for the bridge cards and gear cards is not correct from what I can see.

Son of Nocturne

Hi, wasn't released some time ago the pack 4 but I see that in the rulebook and in this MPC links there are just the first three, is that normal? maybe the pack 4 is still in beta?

Barco

Can’t always find the best images and we want to l use funds more important features.

Tommy Rayburn

hi, Why their are no more image on card?

jonathan fiaschi

I am waiting for 3 more specific expansions to finish.

Tommy Rayburn

Strange Resource. I did it that way so that it would stay out of the vermin deck for when you gain a random vermin resource. ~maximo

Tommy Rayburn

Did this content of death rule book get printed? I would be intersted

Chase Ward

Should the Centileech have a Vermin back or a Strange Resource back? I suppose it doesn't matter too much one way or the other but on the card centileech card it says "Gain 1 Centileech strange resource" even though it is a vermin

Chase Ward

To balance out the previous comment: The tracks of death are is one of my favourite updates to this game. Well thought out design. It takes a portion of the game that is essential an random luck fest and adds player agency and an evolving narrative without steering too far from the original design intention or making it more complex than it needs to be. Great work!

Shane Gerrett

Same issue here. Printed everything via MPC and Missing event 18A.

Shane Gerrett

From pack 3 mpc link :) i printed all of those cards and noticed

Eero Räsänen

Missing from where? I see it in the google drive. ~ maximo

Tommy Rayburn

Are you our Discord channel? If so, asking Maximo is the quickest way to have resolved. If not, I will pass the message.

Tommy Rayburn

Dead weed is missing from pack 3

Eero Räsänen

Tracks replaces random hunts, split can be used. What those apps would need to be perfect is a way to track the cards pulled.

Tommy Rayburn

Is there a way to use tracks of death digitally with kdm story app or another app that keeps track of your kdm campaign?

vasilhs savopoulos

I'm not, but if you can provide a link on how to find him i will ask him!

vasilhs savopoulos

I would need to ask Max since it’s his creation. Are you on the discord? If so, ask Maximo.

Tommy Rayburn

Just one question. I see that the packs are 4, depending on if you are using expansions or want the core content only. But why on the "TTS IMAGES" folder, there are only up to the third pack?

vasilhs savopoulos

Ahh, ok, the pdf file wasn't loading, now it worked. Thanks!

vasilhs savopoulos

It’s above under the first link for Rulebooks. The rulebook is a pdf file.

Tommy Rayburn

I didn't find a rulebook on how to add them in the link... Where is it?

vasilhs savopoulos

Have you read the manual? The answers on how to add are in the manual. And you would need to print all of the files for this to work.

Tommy Rayburn

Can I ask something? I'm new to this custom made group but own kdm for 2 years now, and I wanted to know some things. I'd like to print my self Some content, but is there a link on how do I add those custom hunt events to my game? Do I need to print all the files?

vasilhs savopoulos

Thank you

Scavenger

Many of the TTS Json files are in the download folders. If there is anything missing for a public release, let me know and we can get that fixed.

Tommy Rayburn

maybe im just not seeing it but i cannot seem to find the TTS image files for anything other than the hunt decks them selves i'm also new to TTS so i could use some help haha

Scavenger

This has been asked before and unfort. None of the CCG members can vouch for European based companies. I just do want to setup for a company that could be stealing or create subpar returns. If you find a print company, this is why we post raw files so you can set up your own.

Tommy Rayburn

Is there a possibility to get the cards from someone in EU / germany? The cost over mpc with sending and tax is way too expensive unfortunatly...

Sven Fischer

I guess i just Can use normal card 18 instead.

Ivan Petersen

Just Got tracks of death. But i think i missing a card. Card 18 there is no A, but only b,c,d and e. Is that a mistake?

Ivan Petersen

Have anyone made a little mod with the decks for TTS with the files already made? Thanks

endevor

Thanks. Yes, I will wait. At home like everybody, I could wait without problems.

fceransky

If you want to wait, I will be releasing a “content of death” rule book set at the end of the year with all of our stuff.

Tommy Rayburn

Hey guys, I really like your work and what you did. I want to print the different rulebooks that you made in one "volume"with some quality paper and not with my basic printer. Do you know if someone did something like that (with Lulu or other print-in-demand service)?

fceransky

The system is entirely modular. You can pick and choose which you want to use or throw everything in. Pack 2 expansion events should only be added if you are using those expansions though.

Tommy Rayburn

The Evolving Hunt System allows me to replace some of the Core hunt events with new ones from three different packs. Is there any reason I wouldn't want to use all three of the packs? Also, the hunt event management sheet doesn't include 27A in the evolution.

Dave Hanlon

Currently Scribe does not track hunts .... so we need to all collectively ask TabooRat

Tommy Rayburn

Is there any plans of releasing the tracks of death in an app format... I really like using Scribe for most of my card drawing beside AI / hit location... it would be nice to be able to have radomizer for this really great expansion you made.

Jean-Sebastien Fortin

Yes. Great Game Hunter Camp specifically is on Deck 3, with the other Secret Hunt Events.

Tommy Rayburn

Dream Spectre is a secret and will get added in at some point. The instructions for when you should do this will be clear when it happens. ~ maximo

Tommy Rayburn

Object of Desire, Dead Warrior, Baby and the Sword had cards generated for if you want to include them in the path decks. There are no hard fast rules for doing this and are just provided for convenience to do so.

Tommy Rayburn

Are there cards for the secret event cards with the banners such as the Great Game Hunter Camp? I didn't see them in the MPC link. Also, what is with the cards such as Object of Desire, Dead Warrior, Dream Specter, Baby and the Sword, etc? Sorry if these are dumb questions, just trying to figure it out. It'll probably make more sense once I have them in front of me. Thanks so much for doing this!!

Chase Ward

Looks like there may be a typo in the Hunt event tracker. On the #28 Trollbird row it has the ABC cards from 18, while the 28 cards are on the 27th row. I hope that makes sense. Also on the 93C card Last Chapter I think it should say lose instead of love. Looking forward to playing with these!!

Chase Ward

If you trigger 70A Tomb of Excellence, you put each Labyrinth in its path deck. Then you have to discover it before resolving it. So Green goes in Beaten Path, Blue in Monster's Trail, and Red in Unknown Way. ~maximo

Tommy Rayburn

The Hunt Tracker designed to keep track of the persistent state of the decks. The purpose of it is for when you are running multiple campaigns and need to rebuild that state for another campaign you are playing. Therefore, if playing Slenderman, and you use 23A, then you would check off 23A that you added it to the deck.

Tommy Rayburn

There are 3 copies of Lost because it is such a unique event, I thought it could fit 1 in each path. ~ maximo

Tommy Rayburn

I enjoy creating graphics, and I wanted some of the events to feel extra special. (think about the Stranger in the Dark settlement event). So, I made alternate versions of some of the events. If you like those versions, replace the normal version before playing. ~maximo

Tommy Rayburn

Another question. Perhaps I am reading something wrong, but if 70 Tomb of excellence is on the beaten path, wouldn't it always lead to the green labyrinth and never the other colors?

Austin Smith

I want to start by saying this was a great idea! I have a few questions. 1) Why are there multiple copies of certain cards, such as Harvester and Feet? (I see that there are 3 copies of lost, one for each of the trails, but that does not seem to be the case for others) 2) On the tracker, some start with the basic event on the left column with the #A event to the right while others have the #A event on the far left (example 23A clean water). Should we treat all events that have and A/B/etc. as if the A is first? 3) Why are there some unlabeled squares, such as on 23 clean water?

Austin Smith

It is. What is show in MPC is the space between the bleed and the safe zone. The cut space has been removed.

Tommy Rayburn

Thanks. For this. I ordered them from MPC. However. It seems that the affinties are outside the cutting margins. Is this oké?

Wouter Stevens

Thank you for all the work that's put i to these, I can't wait for the Drifter night release!

Andrew Crittenden

Ok awesome!

Andrew Crittenden

It's a roll in one of the event.

Tommy Rayburn

I did have a question about how to obtain the portcullis key? Is it a card?

Andrew Crittenden

I have a game tomorrow morning I am playing with it for the first time, I will let you know.

Andrew Crittenden

Cards are up.

Tommy Rayburn

You have the right cards. A few of the cards were changed to balance numbers between paths. Have you played with them yet? Gone down any paths beyond the initial story?

Tommy Rayburn

Minimalist with the dice in hand

Andrew Crittenden

Is it the minimalist version or ones with pics at the top?

Tommy Rayburn

Umm i want to say a month or so ago, i double checked with the MPC on here for blood alter.

Andrew Crittenden

When did you buy? Want to make sure I answer correctly to the correct version.

Tommy Rayburn

So lol, unfortunately i already bought these but i did notice that "Blood Alter" and "Food from the Mouth of Others" have a blue outline and are on the beaten path instead of the monsters trail. Is this intended or did this help? No complaints on already having bought these from MPC, i love what you guys are doing and i hope to help so there's more. :)

Andrew Crittenden

I appreciate it, for me it's a completed set that makes it. How much is wasted on small MPC creations?

Andrew Crittenden

Andrew, I will make sure those are added. Do you find it helpful to have MPC links even when there are few cards? Our worry was wasting money.

Tommy Rayburn

Will there be MPC links for the cards other than the decks? Bridge size cards and gear?

Andrew Crittenden
