Dead of Winter - Master Edition

[Now including Roberta Plum character and 9 additional Crossroards promo cards.]

"Dead of Winter: A Crossroads Game, the first game in this series, puts 2-5 players in a small, weakened colony of survivors in a world where most of humanity is either dead or diseased, flesh-craving monsters. Each player leads a faction of survivors with dozens of different characters in the game.

Dead of Winter is a meta-cooperative psychological survival game. This means players are working together toward one common victory condition — but for each individual player to achieve victory, he must also complete his personal secret objective. This secret objective could relate to a psychological tick that's fairly harmless to most others in the colony, a dangerous obsession that could put the main objective at risk, a desire for sabotage of the main mission, or (worst of all) vengeance against the colony! Certain games could end with all players winning, some winning and some losing, or all players losing. Work toward the group's goal, but don't get walked all over by a loudmouth who's looking out only for his own interests!

Dead of Winter is an experience that can be accomplished only through the medium of tabletop games. It's a story-centric game about surviving through a harsh winter in an apocalyptic world. The survivors are all dealing with their own psychological imperatives, but must still find a way to work together to fight off outside threats, resolve crises, find food and supplies, and keep the colony's morale up.

Dead of Winter has players making frequent, difficult, heavily- thematic, wildly-varying decisions that often have them deciding between what is best for the colony and what is best for themselves."

This is an adaptation of Nim's version of the initial mod by digicube. The great majority of models and textures were created and prepared in those mods.

The following changes have been made from Nim's revision of digicube's first mod:

- Increased scales of table surface and every object to make the board less cramped.
- Pre-prepared layout and hands-arrangement.
- Size of table increased through use of table-extension objects.
- Several textures and templates visually retouched to make the colours pop more visibly in TTS.
- Added Objective Story flavour pages as objects in TTS.
- Custom Bags added for tokens and Zombie standees.
- Alphabetisation of the Survivor standees for ease of selection;

- Snap-points changed to Rotational type.
- Wound and Frostbite tokens combined into double-sided token to match tabletop components.
- Deck templates compiled together.
- Changed background.
- "Zombie Horde" props added;

- Various object-name and toggle-changes.
