PANDEMIC
Halia is a mid-stage colony, fully self sufficient, with a moderate standard of living. Human civilization is concentrated to the Western oceanic coast of the 1 major continent, the interior of which is a vast salt desert. Satellites detected an anomalous reading in the star system’s Ooort cloud. What they found was a derelict Space Jockey craft in orbit around a large comet. Teams went inside to investigate, and came upon the cargo hold, containing alien eggs in stasis. Eggs where harvested successfully and brought back to Halia. During examination in the labs, one of the scientists got face-hugged. He was placed into quarantine. After he chest-bursted, the burster was also isolated. They watched it molt into a juvenile queen, never realizing her potential, her intelligence. She severed the end of her tail, and used the acid to burn a way out of her prison. They never even found out where she went. She started nesting in the sewers. Within 12 hours of her escape, the first face-huggers appeared on the surface. A day and a half later, the first Drones matured and began taking people underground. Within a week, the city had fallen into chaos, and the hive was spreading farther. The human population of Halia began to evacuate on the few ships they had docked, but each and everyone one brought the Aliens with them. Halia is now devastated, and not many humans remain. Those that do are fleeing to the desert, trying to stay ahead of the Aliens. To make things worse, a group of Predators have shown up intending to do some hunting amongst the chaos.

Mutation – New card type. When maturing any Alien, may place the mutation under the alien modifying it according to the card. Mutated Aliens may not be made into groups. Only 1 Mutation per alien.

Oh, by the way, I'm shooting for about 60 cards in this set, and for three sets total in the story arc. This first set is themed around the fall of Halia. The second set will get into the spread of aliens to other colonies by way of the infected ships that evacuated Halia. the third set will deal with the outbreak being contained.

Cool, I'll add this in the next set of updates, of which there will be a lot.
EDIT: So you're going to be doing a spoiler, as posted above, and will you be releasing actual cards? Do you want the cards to be separated in to a spoiler and the rest into a scenario? Generally speaking, scenarios have more info, thats all...

well, its not done yet, so there isn't much point in posting it, what i posted is just a teaser of sorts. I'm probably not going to make any card images this time around. As for the spoiler/scenario thing, I'm just kinda doing it as one document, but i can divide the spoiler and the history/new rules into two (or three) different documents if you'd like.

All previous rules i created remain legal and active. I don't know when i will finish this set. A part of me is considering adding a new species faction, my own creation never seen in the avp universe. no idea on what i'd make it, i'd want it to fit in though, seem like a natural part of the universe.
