Necromunda Event Cards

Original design by Andy Chambers, Jervis Johnson and David Moretti. Additional material stolen borrowed from Anthony Case and the Yakromunda Forums- thanks!
Completely unofficial and in no way endorsed by Games Workshop.

Andy Chambers said that the original Event Cards were intended to be included in the Necromunda boxed set but they ran out of space in the box.
These original cards, which appeared in Battles In The Underhive were characterful and fun but had a few balance issues and in our group they had fallen
out of favour. Given that they were intended to be an integral part of the game rather than a footnote in a supplement, I thought it might be a good
idea to rewrite them and ended up with the below: 54 cards which can be used to bring a bit more narrative and unpredictable carnage to games of
Necromunda. My intention is that they will be fun without dominating the game, swinging a loss to a win or arbitrarily punishing a player for no real
reason.

Feedback can be left on the Yakromunda forums:

Cheers, Simon.

How to use these cards:

To use the cards, either print them out on card or use a sticker sheet and stick them onto a deck of playing cards. There are various ways of dealing
them, my favoured method is rolling 1D3 per player: this is the number of cards to be dealt. Start with the player with the lowest gang rating so that
if an odd number is rolled this player gets an extra card. You could also simply deal D3 to each player or sort the cards into Before, After and During
the game events and deal one of each or allow players to choose which pile they draw from.

Players can keep their cards secret but a certain amount of bluffing is to be encouraged!

Cards may be used once during the game and are then discarded. Cards which state that the card must be given to the opposing player after use may
only be used once by both players before discarding. Cards may not be kept for use in another game.
