Can Purge Outbreak be integrated into the Perseus Arm campaign?
Quick answer
Yes, Purge Outbreak can be integrated into the Perseus Arm campaign by incorporating its components into missions, adjusting Hostility rules, and using the expanded Purge mechanics.
Details
The rulebook supports integrating expansions like Purge Outbreak into campaigns (page 43). To do so:
- Use the Hostility Board’s reverse side (page 9) if Outbreak introduces new Purge types, as it accommodates additional NPCs/Purge.
- Include Outbreak-specific Event Cards in the deck (page 42), ensuring mission setups reflect its mechanics (e.g., adjusted Purge arrival rules or new objectives).
- Modify mission parameters (page 44) by tweaking starting Hostility, adding Outbreak NPCs, or altering Event Card allocations to align with the expansion’s themes.
Watch out: Ensure all players agree on integration rules, as the core book doesn’t explicitly detail Outbreak-specific interactions. Test changes to avoid balance issues, especially with Purge scaling (page 31) and campaign progression (page 49).
