Welcome Scummers! We’ve got great news for you today, as our considerable Lost Zone supplement has been updated! Lots of players have played lots of games with this supplement, and we’re working feedback into thee changes, so let’s see what we’ve got!
Most of the changes to the Lost Zone are minor clarifications and fixes, changed to allow for easier and better understanding. However, there is one big change that players will want to be aware of immediately:
Special ammo and grenades are no longer Limited! Special ammo is now Scarce, and grenades are no unchanged from the main game’s rules (which is code for also Scarce).
We received feedback from several players that buying ammo and grenades were wastes of credits, as they would just up and disappear after one use in a lot of cases. This is against what we wanted to do with them in the supplement, so we’ve rolled back the change somewhat. Enjoy your munitions, Scummers!
Before we get to the change log, here’s the link for the latest Lost Zone rules:
