Starting place for Deep Madness:· (optional) Read the Shattered Seas novel by Byron Leavitt
o Many key characters in the novel are colored purple in the table
· Note: the Chronology Table below is not necessarily the suggested order of play· For newcomers, the suggested playthrough order of Expansions is:
o Drowning in the Depths (tutorial scenario, provided in Faces of the Sphere/Profundum)o Core Box (scenarios 1-8)o Endless Nightmares (3 scenarios, any order) & Uncounted Horrors (1 scenario)o Other scenarios/campaigns
Chronology Table Scope:· The original intent of the table was to organize the chronology of the canon scenarios to further narrative gameplay.· We include a representative fan made campaign (led by Phil Blake and Fabio Faletti) to highlight the community involvement which included feedback/support from Diemension Game (Byron Leavitt sourced PDFs from their master files, DG gave permissions to use their art, and DG encouraged them). Check out the Facebook group, link below.· Fans are set on creating expansions focused on the Epic monsters (colored red in the table) that do not have scenarios. Stay tuned.
Versions of this will be posted in:· Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DeepMadnessFans/
