Card Notes

The Roaming Monster card faces carry no spawn, Level or Equipment rules. Those come from the base Massive Darkness rulebook, which this pack expands. Lesser cards are used at Levels 1 to 3 and Greater cards at Levels 4 and 5.
The pack's Boss and Minion extras (Orc Flayer, Dwarf Defender, Goblin Archer, Orc Enforcer, Goblin Warrior, Dwarf Warrior) carry no new rules, so they are not transcribed.
Icon rendering: the Bam and Diamond symbols are written as "Bam" and "Diamond", the sword as "Hit", the shield as "Shield", and the Combat dice by colour. Where a card shows a die icon inside its text, it is written in brackets.
Illegible or uncertain reads: the die icon in the Low Troll "Roll" line (both versions) and the red die icon in the Graz & Prug "roll 1" line are read as yellow and red Attack dice from the icon colour; the exact die type is not otherwise printed in the crop. The Lil' Ned Defense icon is read as a Shield, matching the same glyph on Cun-Ha and Myriam's Healer. The Mace and Hammer Level 1 die icon is read as an Attack die. Compare these against a physical card if one becomes available.
The card text for Werewolf reads "then half of its Health" on the printed card; it is transcribed as printed.
