DOOM: THE BOARDGAME

EPISODE ABADDON
Abaddon is a self-contained six-scenario episode of
DOOM: the Boardgame where events take place on
the second moon of Mars, Deimos.
The episode uses a variant of the basic game rules.
The main difference between this variant and the
regular game is the addition of weight to all items.
The total weight of weapons, armor etc. a marine is
carrying hinders his/her movement. Additionally all
Marine Cards are divided in three categories.
All the rules modifications along with a new weights
& prizes table are on the last page for easy reference.
Some house-ruling is strongly encouraged for
example Scout is a very strong card in this variant.
This episode uses monsters and tiles from both the basic set and the expansion set. The maps
were made using TileSystem. Abaddon is designed to be one huge map with parts serving as
different scenarios. Marines will have to revisit some areas in order to win the episode. Security
keys stay with the marines throughout scenarios.

EPISODE BRIEFING
You can hardly believe it!
A decade in the service, decorations for valour and conduct beyond the line of duty – all gone. One night, one
damned night of drunken stupor and just a small bar brawl. Some idiot had drawn a blade and impaled himself
on it. Of course you had been the one to take the blame for it and that had only been the start of your troubles.
The wanker turned out to be the only rotten son of some high-ranking officer. So it had been the courts for the
lot of you and what a show it had been. With all the civil unrest back on earth and the recent rumours of bloody
events on Mars it had been a miracle you weren’t impaled on spikes outside the courthouse like some damn
rabbit. Headlines and the wide public had screamed for your blood and in a way the court had answered their
shrill call for gore. The sentencing had seemed almost like a relief, almost. Fucking fiasco.
Minimum of 20 years to be served in the prison, mining and research colony Abaddon on Deimos, the smaller
of the two moons of Mars. Only the worst of former military personnel serve their sentence on Abaddon. The
convicted felons tend to “expire” within a year from their arrival on the moon. Malfunctioning airlocks, mining
accidents, hazardous chemicals and machinery and the occasional “mysterious disappearance” are all part of the
dangers living on small dead rock in space. Basically it’s a death sentence.
The voyage to Deimos was uneventful, thanks to the isolation chamber. You and a few other prisoners arrived a
few hours ago and were greeted by a score of nervous and twitchy guards that all but threw you in the holding
cells. You didn’t get a good look at your fellow prisoners although some appeared familiar. The guards’
behaviour had put you on edge and you decided to keep your eyes open. Something strange is going on around
here.
I: OUT OF THE CELLS
 SCENARIO I:
OUT OF THE CELLS
Remove all following cards from your deck for this scenario: Dark
Summons, Soul Fire and all spawns with Demon, Mancubus or Hell
Knight. Don’t spawn Commandos.
MISSION BRIEFING
You wake up with a start as you hear a guard running and screaming.
The scream is cut short and the guard stumbles. A grenade drops from
his hand and rolls to a control panel. The following explosion kills the
guard and fries the control panel – force fields between the cells and the
corridor fade. Is this your change of escape?
Connect the four cells in this area to the corridor. Marines can’t attack
inside a cell that’s not connected to a corridor.
SCENARIO GOALS
You must escape the cell blocks before I score six frags. In addition,
each time I draw the last card from my deck, I get one free frag against
you since your lives are at stake.
All marines must exit through the gateway in area 7.
AREA DESCRIPTIONS
START AREA
Without any armor or weapons save from your fists you hesitantly step
out of your cell wondering what made the guard scream. Your gaze falls
upon a creature lurking near a duct and you nearly scream yourself.
AREA 1
Another dead guard lies in a pool of his own blood near a desk while his
former comrade feasts upon his flesh.
IF A MARINE ENDS HIS TURN ON THE ENCOUNTER TILE:
You strip the dead guard from the absolutely vital armor and find keys
to the desk. You quickly open a cabinet and find some weapons. At last
a fighting chance against these abominations.
Remove the encounter and give the marine one armor token. All
marines may now use pistols. Place an unactivated sentry next to the
marine (on a square previously occupied by the encounter).
AREA 2
It looks like some guards made a last stand here. There’s a barricade at
the end of the corridor. A guard seems to have locked himself in one of
the cells behind the protective force field.
IF A MARINE MOVES ON TO THE EVENT TILE (CONTROL PANEL):
You can now control the cell door force fields. You may spend one
movement: to connect/disconnect a cell to the corridor in this area or
by using a master switch to connect/disconnect all the cells.
IF A MARINE TRIES TO USE THE CONTROL PANEL:
You fiddle with the controls and manage to hit the master switch. The
switch seems jammed and the cell door force fields collapse. The dead
guards rise up and turn their hungry eyes to you.
Connect the four cells in this area to the corridor. Replace the
encounter with a zombie. If the marines try to use the control panel
again, it works as described above.
AREA 3
There is armor and health in the corners but your eyes are drawn to the
figure in a guard’s uniform that’s banging on a control panel. You
should kill it quickly before it lets other enemies escape from cells!
If the zombies is still alive at the start of invaders turn:
The zombie manages to hit the master switch.
Connect the four cells in this area to the corridor.
IF A MARINE MOVES ON TO THE EVENT TILE (CONTROL PANEL):
You can now control the cell door force fields. You may spend one
movement: to connect/disconnect a cell to the corridor in this area or
by using a master switch to connect/disconnect all the cells.
AREA 4
Ask the marines to throw a yellow dice, check the range and read
the descriptions below up to that number (X=0):
0 You recognize this place. The airlock door leads to a landing
platform by which you got here last night.
1 The space shuttle might still be there.
2 And there are bound to be weapons inside.
3 But the shuttle is protected by automatic security turrets which
you don’t know how to override.
4 And the cockpit can be unlocked only with a blue security key.
In the floor of the winding corridor there are huge claw marks that lead
under the door. Maybe you shouldn’t enter there. Above the last door in
the area is a sign that reads: “Gateway to Abaddon Central Hub”.
AREA 5 (AIRLESS TERRAIN)
The shuttle is still here! Your happiness turns sour as you notice the
creatures lurking around the craft. They seem to be wary of the shuttle.
IF A MARINE OR AN INVADER MOVES NEXT TO THE SHUTTLE:
The shuttles autodefences are operational. Security turrets open fire.
The shuttle has Watchful ability and attacks with a red and two green
dice (attack only to spaces next to the shuttle). The shuttle attacks every
time when able to do so (no other attacks).
IF A MARINE GETS INSIDE THE SHUTTLE:
Damn the cockpit is locked! Luckily you see some supplies.
This is not airless terrain and the shuttle doesn’t attack here.
AREA 6
This is the guards’ locker room and shower. There are bodies
everywhere. You knew better than to enter. The scratch marks from the
corridor lead to the shower where a huge creature is gulping down the
remains of a space shuttle pilot. Luckily there are some weapons here.
AREA 7
Do not spawn invaders to this area.
Security hazard detected. Remove all unidentified organic material to
gain access to the Gateway.
IF ALL MARINES HAVE ENTERED THE AREA AND THERE ARE NO
INVADERS IN THE AREA:
Gateway operational. The doors close and the other section of the
gateway opens. You made it out of the cell blocks alive. Hopefully
whatever happened in the cell blocks hasn’t spread to the Central Hub.
II: THE CENTRAL HUB
 SCENARIO II:
THE CENTRAL HUB
MISSION BRIEFING
You must learn more of the situation at hand. The Central Hub houses
areas like Communications, Residential and Power Core.
SCENARIO GOALS
Search the premises for vital information and learn more of your
situation before I score six frags. Each time I draw the last card from
my deck, I get one free frag against you since time is of the essence.
All marines must exit through a yellow security door in area 5 or 6.
Scenario end text is in area 6 desciptions.
AREA DESCRIPTIONS
START AREA
The other part of the Gateway. There must be a security station ahead.
AREA 1
You sigh out of relief seeing a security guard sitting behind a desk.
Ask the marines to throw a red dice. With a miss read and do X,
otherwise read 0 and continue on.
X You’ve been ambushed! The invader may activate one creature.
0 Then you notice the blank lifeless stare in his dead eyes. You
almost walked into an ambush!
IF A MARINE ENDS HIS TURN ON THE ENCOUNTER TILE:
You find some weapons and notice a crude map of the area on the
desk.: Residential lies somewhere to the west, Communications is to the
north and to the east is a mess hall along with Power Core.
Remove the encounter and give the marine a shotgun, a machine gun, 2
bullets/shells ammo token and a grenade/rockets ammo token.
IF A MARINE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE WEST:
You find an unactivated security turret inside this security cabinet.
AREA 2
An obese ogre-like creature blocks your way. Your eyes fall upon a
chainsaw on the floor. The thought of ripping the creature apart with
the weapon makes you laugh out loud.
The door in the north-west corner is broken and cannot be opened.
AREA 3 (AIRLESS TERRAIN)
Be careful! The lack of oxygen might turn you berserk.
AREA 4 (3 SEPARATE AREAS)
This used to be a habitat chamber but it’s no longer occupied by
humans. There’s some equipment lying around.
Construct the areas separately as marines reveal them. When the
marines find the security key shout something inspiring.
AREA 5
Communications: huge area with a score of deadly monsters. There’s an
operational communications station further in. Makeshift barricades
block your way but you might be able to shift some of them. Entry to
Power Core fuel depot is under lockdown.
Marines (and sentry bots) can push the small 1*1 obstacles in this area.
In order to do this a marine must be in an adjacent square to the
obstacle and must move towards the obstacle. The obstacle moves to
the same direction the marine is moving. The marine must spend 1
additional movement for each square he/she pushes the obstacle. Any
invader caught “under” (not flying) a pushed obstacle is fragged.
IF A MARINE MOVES ON THE EVENT TILE:
You reached the operational communications station and start to search
for an open channel. You push some buttons and a display lights up
with an image of a military reconnaissance officer.
The officer demands your name and rank and a hasty explanation for
the lack of communique from the facility. You give the account as best
as you can. The officer listens to your account in silence but cuts you
short after a while. He tells you to wait and the feed is transferred to
some sort of a command center.
You don’t recognize any of the people you’re talking to but their
uniforms are of military intelligence. You give your account in full this
time while being interrupted at times with a barrage of questions. At
long last your interrogators start giving you some information.
There have been rumours that the Abaddon base is merely a front and
there’s strictly prohibited research being carried out in the facility.
Military intelligence has been planting suitable candidates to the colony
to investigate the situation and you were sent in in such a role, although
unknowingly. The trial had been a ruse to get you there covertly and
your commanding officer had guaranteed your cooperation.
You should’ve been contacted by an operative on arrival but something
has apparently gone terribly wrong. Either you’ve been compromised or
worse. Your new mission is to locate the head of the facility, Doctor
Kruger, find out what’s going on and terminate all potentially dangerous
research before things escalade beyond control.
Scans of the moon have shown that parts of the facility are located
beneath the cell blocks. Doctor Kruger is suspected to reside in this
area. Unfortunately there’re no known entrances so you should shake
things up and buy some more time with a little sabotage: overload cell
block sensors and security systems.
To do this you must infiltrate the Power Core which is sealed shut.
There’re two ways in: the fuel depot or the reactor control room. You
can choose on which one to lift the lockdown but you’ll also need the
yellow security key to gain entry.
Remove one of the obstacles marked with X’s according to marines
choice (area 5 or 6) and place yellow security door in its place.
AREA 6
At first glance you notice huge blast doors barring your entry to the
Power Core. Next you start to take in your surroundings and deduce
that this area used to be some sort of center for entertainment.
Now blood from untold amounts of bodies has stained the floor a
shade of black. There’re pesky spider-like trites everywhere and they
have made bloody footprints on the ceiling and walls as well. In a side
corridor leading to the Power Core control room you spot the ominous
shape of a vagary. You’ve just interrupted it’s feeding.
IF A MARINE ENDS HIS TURN ON THE ENCOUNTER TILE:
You search the dry husk of a dead guard and find a powerful weapon
along with ammunition.
Give the marine a Plasma weapon and two Energy Cell ammo tokens.
IF THE VAGARY IS KILLED:
Death of the vagary seems to drive the trites insane.
All trites on board are killed (marines get frags from trites with
corresponding colour).
IF ALL MARINES EXIT THROUGH THE YELLOW SECURITY DOOR
(PLACED WHEN MARINES HAVE ACTIVATED EVENT IN AREA 5):
You have an unrewarding task ahead of you. Overloading the cell block
sensors and security systems will undoubtedly raise a lot of attention
and probably wreak some havoc to the entire facility. Yet you feel
anxious about the fight ahead.
 III: POWER CORE

This map has been rotated

counter clockwise in order to
provide a larger picture.
 SCENARIO III:
POWER CORE
MISSION BRIEFING
You arrived on Deimos less than 12 hours ago as prisoners and now
you’re hunting traitors. Strange how fast things seem to change.
SCENARIO GOALS
You must sabotage the Power Core to buy you some time to reach
Doctor Kruger. You must do this before I score six frags. Each time I
draw the last card from my deck, I get one free frag against you since
the Power Core is a hazardous environment.
All marines must exit through the gateway in area 7. Marines start in
either “Start area” or in area 4 (based on scenario 2).
AREA DESCRIPTIONS
START AREA
You emerge in the fuel depot among invaders and spent fuel rods.
Waste management was one the main jobs for prisoners on Abaddon.
Your comrades have developed a taste for chemicals. A corridor
collapses and the monsters notice you – they also hunger for flesh.
AREA 1
Construct areas 1 and 2 at the same time. Obstacles blocking
movement from area 1 to area 2 or 5 can’t be smashed.
When constructing this area for the first time, do not place any
obstacles except reactor blast doors that are marked with red X’s (2
obstacles). The other obstacles will be placed later. Place the huge blast
doors as seen in area 5 to the end of the corridors.
AREA 1 (AFTER THE EXPLOSION)
When area 1 is revealed after the explosion, construct area 1 with
all obstacles and without any invaders. Construct area 5 as well.
AREA 2 (REACTOR, COOLANT AND OBSERVATION)
Construct this area and area 1 at the same time. Do not place the
reactor tile unless reactor blast doors have been opened (area 4).
This is the Power Core reactor and coolant. There’s an observation deck
with sentry controls at the east end. No human should be in here unless
the reactor blast doors are closed since the reactor emits harmful
radiation that would kill humans within minutes.
Sentrys can only be activated from observation deck, flags are obstacles.
IF A MARINE MOVES ON ONE OF THE TWO EVENT TILES:
You can now control one of the sentries.
Replace one of the sentries with that of the correct colour. If the marine
moves away from the event tile, replace the sentry with an unactivated
one (wounds stay). Otherwise the sentry works as normal.
IF A MARINE IS ON ONE OF THE TWO EVENTS AND MARINES HAVE
RECEIVED RADIO FROM THE SCIENTIST IN AREA 4:
The scientist radios you to tell that he is opening the reactor doors.
Remove the reactor blast doors in area 1 and construct the reactor.
Ask the marines to throw a blue and a green dice and read:
Power regulators (represented by Megasphere tokens) are keeping huge
amounts of power in check. Hazardous radiation from the reactor
saturates the air within the area. Duren says that you should destroy
[Range from throw above] power regulators. Their armor level is [Hits].
Marines (does not affect sentries or invaders) moving in area 2 or 1
suffer 1 wound for each move they make when reactor blast doors are
open. Observation is unaffected.
IF THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF POWER REGULATORS ARE DESTROYED:
A huge explosion rocks the base as fire washes over the reactor and
coolant before blast doors close automatically. View from the
observation deck is permanently obscured and everything goes dark.
All marines, sentries and invaders in areas 1 and 2 are fragged (doesn’t
affect observation, marines get frags from invaders of corresponding
colour). If any marines are killed they cannot respawn to areas 1 or 2.
Close all doors to area 1 and remove reactor and coolant tiles. Resume
play with Darkness in effect that lasts two whole turns. At the start of
marines next turn read:
The scientist radios you but his broadcast is cut short as someone cuts
on the line: “This is Doctor Kruger, the head of this facility. Whoever
you are, you’ve done untold damage to my research. My minions will
exact my revenge.” Suddenly Duren is back online yelling something
about a control panel but a loud booming and hammering from the
background is drowning his words. You can also feel the vibrations.
When Darkness ends read the following:
Power’s been restored: lights flicker and life support comes back online.
If more than the correct amount of regulators is destroyed (i.e.
with grenades), the whole moon is destroyed and marines lose.
AREA 3 (AIRLESS TERRAIN)
Someone has fired rockets in here and the corridor has suffered
structural damage. As a result there’s no air.
AREA 4
The reactor control room is smashed apart. There’s no obvious way to
proceed with your plan. Invaders have cornered a scientist who might
be able to help you if you reach him in time. A blue security key and
some weapons are lying around.
The yellow security door cannot be opened before the right
amount of power regulators in area 2 is destroyed.
IF A MARINE ENDS HIS TURN ON THE ENCOUNTER:
The scientist, Doctor Duren by nametag, is merely unconscious and you
quickly proceed to wake him up. You outline your plan to override cell
block sensors and security systems and he laughs bitterly. It appears that
with all the smashed monitors and calibration equipment it’s impossible.
Like all scientists he rambles a bit and blurts out that the only way to do
what you ask is to briefly overload everything by blowing up power
regulators in the reactor. It seems this is your only option although it
could blow up the whole moon. After a brief but serious negotiation
Doctor Duren agrees to open the reactor blast doors when you are in
observation deck. He gives you a radio in order to keep in contact.
Remove the encounter from the board.
AREA 5
Move the huge blast doors to places marked with red X’s.
The scientist forgot to carry the 1. There’re fires still burning and the
huge blast doors were torn away by the explosion. A huge monstrous
creature is waiting you here. Kruger must’ve sent it.
AREA 6
The Cyberdemon must’ve ploughed through the security station but
thankfully the gateway is still accessible. Only a few more meters to go.
AREA 7
IF ALL MARINES ARE IN AREA 7:
Your sabotage must’ve hampered Doctor Krugers plans and bought
you the time you need to stop him. As you make your way to the
Gateway you can’t stop wandering what happened to Duren.
IV: INTO THE FIRE
 SCENARIO IV:
INTO THE FIRE
MISSION BRIEFING
The power surge should’ve fried cell block sensors and security systems
enabling infiltration to the underground testing and research site. You
should prepare for a hard fight.
SCENARIO GOALS
You must penetrate the secret underground facility before I score six
frags. Each time I draw the last card from my deck, I get one free frag
against you since that’s the way it is.
All marines must exit through the incinerator in area 10.
AREA DESCRIPTIONS
START AREA
Looks like the Cyberdemon you killed before did some damage here.
You remember that the scientist Duren was screaming something about
a control panel before his broadcast was disrupted. There’re two within
your reach. Maybe one of them will open a passage further in.
IF A MARINE MOVES ON ONE OF THE EVENT TILES:
The control panel of cell door force shields has suffered greatly from
the power surge you orchestrated. You search the panel for any hints of
a hidden switch but find none. Eventually you kick it out of frustration
and a hidden, descending passage is revealed.
Remove the event and replace nearby end tile marked with X’s with a
corridor (X’s). The other corridor is connected via the other control
panel (or circling around). In this case remove the other event as well.
AREA 1 (AIRLESS TERRAIN)
The shuttle is still here! The creatures lurking around the craft seem to
be wary of it.
IF A MARINE OR AN INVADER MOVES NEXT TO THE SHUTTLE:
The shuttles autodefences are operational. Security turrets open fire.
The shuttle has Watchful ability and attacks with a red and two green
dice (attack only to spaces next to and outside the shuttle).
IF MARINES OPEN THE BLUE SECURITY DOOR:
Damn! There’re no manual controls, only a direct pilot-interface. You’ll
have to find a pilot to fly this vessel unless you want to try to link tour
unprotected brain to the shuttle?
If a marine wants to link his brain to the shuttle, he’ll die.
AREA 2
A group of zombies have turned this underground cavern into a
recreational area suitable for them. Their murmur echoes from the walls
and ceiling that are covered in slime. You feel nauseated.
AREA 3
This intersection is guarded by a Vagary and her minions. There’re
spider webs hanging from the ceiling and you should be careful where
you step. At least you have the freedom to choose where to go next but
still you wonder where’s the tough fight you were anticipating.
AREA 4
Supplies are littered among invaders in this tightly packed area. Health,
oxygen, adrenaline and a Chainsaw await you.
AREA 5 (AIRLESS TERRAIN)
This airless area is vacant of invaders. Thick metal doors block your way
to the east. Maybe there’s a way to open them nearby.
AREA 6
You opened the door in time to witness Doctor Kruger enter a lift at
the north wall. The lift starts its descent before you have time to
intervene. So there’s another floor below your feet. You must find a way
to continue your pursuit.
Smash all doors leading to area 7 and close the door to area 3
when all marines have entered area 6 or a door to area 7 is opened.
Doors can’t be opened until the start of your next turn.
AREA 7 (4 SEPARATE AREAS)
You’re sealed in. It’s a trap!
AREA 8
Plasma weapon and ammo await you!
AREA 9
A red security door stands behind this security station manned by
invaders. You can hear faint thumping against the door and wonder
what secrets lie on the other side. Maybe there’s another way down but
to get to it you need the red security key.
The security door is placed on purpose one square away from the end
of the tile.
AREA 10
This area was made to manage and dispose biological waste. There’s a
switch next to an incinerator that is on full blast. Nevertheless you can
see a massive form moving behind the flames. Your eyes are drawn
upon an Archvile in the middle of demonic rant.
Flame jets in this area don’t flip at the end of every round (they stay on).
Archvile in this area can summon one (free) invader at the beginning of
your each turn if there’s an encounter within the line of sight of the
Archvile. When using this ability replace the encounter in sight with an
invader no larger than a demon. The invaders kill-value must be less or
equal to “6 – frags you have”.
IF YOU USE THE ARCHVILES SPAWN ABILITY:
The Archvile spawns a hell-creature from a corpse.
IF A MARINE ENDS HIS TURN ON ONE OF THE ENCOUNTERS:
You capitalize the remains of a ritual sacrifice.
Marine receives one energy cell ammo token and is healed 3 wounds.
IF A MARINE MOVES ON THE EVENT TILE:
You pull the lever and the flames die out. A Cyberdemon rushes out.
Remove the event and place a Cyberdemon in the area marked with X’s.
Flip all flame jets (they don’t turn on anymore).
IF THE CYBERDEMON IS KILLED:
The Cyberdemon dies and crashes down. You now have time to realise
that there’s a near-vertical chute behind the incinerator. There must be
something at the bottom of the chute. Could this be your way down?
All marines must step out of the map behind the flame jets in
order to win this scenario.
IF THE WINNING CONDITION IS MET:
You begin your descent carefully bracing yourself against the sides of
the chute. There’s a horrible stench coming from the area below and it’s
not making things any easier. Suddenly you slip and begin to fall
uncontrollably. You hit the bottom hard and black out.
V: WHAT LIES BELOW
 SCENARIO V:
WHAT LIES BELOW
MISSION BRIEFING
You’ve chased Doctor Kruger to caverns below the Abaddon base.
Now all you have to do is find him.
SCENARIO GOALS
Find Doctor Kruger and end this nightmare for once and for all before
I score six frags. Each time I draw the last card from my deck, I get one
free frag against you since there’re some nasty surprises waiting.
All marines must exit via the lift in area 10. To reach the lift marines
must pull four levers (event tiles) in areas 1, 4, 6 and 8.
AREA DESCRIPTIONS
START AREA (AIRLESS TERRAIN)
This area is constructed one tile at a time: when a marine is on a
map-tile, reveal tiles adjacent to that tile. Play Darkness in effect.
Your head hurts. Partly because of the nasty fall and partly because of
the stench and gases all around. The surrounding area is filled with
rotting corpses, faeces and worse. It’s dark and you’re struggling for
breath. There’s an oxygen cylinder nearby and as you’re reaching for it
you think that it might be a good idea to refrain from using firearms.
IF A NON-MELEE ATTACK IS USED IN THIS AREA:
The attack ignites the gases and causes an explosion.
Carry out the original attack normally. If it was an exploding attack,
double the damage. If it wasn’t, attack the marine or invader that
initiated the original attack with a grenade (range 0).
AREA 1
This area is constructed one tile at a time: when a marine is on a
map-tile, reveal tiles adjacent to that tile. Play Darkness in effect.
The airlock seals the gases and stench from reaching other areas. You
can breathe normally again but unfortunately it’s still dark.
IF A MARINE MOVES ON THE EVENT TILE:
There’s a lever here. And what do we do with levers of unknown
function? You pull the lever but nothing seems to happen.
AREA 2
You emerge from the teleport to a small chamber with additional
teleports. The teleportation process seemed rougher than usual which is
probably a side effect of the Power Core sabotage. You can hear Doctor
Kruger talking on the other side of the red security door.
Each time a marine uses a teleport, attack the marine with a dice
corresponding to the teleports colour (marine always moves
through). Add one “Deadly” to the attack after each use of the
teleport. This is teleport specific and affects both “ends” (you can
mark this with health tokens next to a teleport in area 2). Read:
The teleportation process is getting wilder with each use.
AREA 3
Support columns are keeping the ceiling from caving in. There’re some
weapons and ammo here.
AREA 4
The door leading to area 9 is broken and can’t be smashed. Obstacles
holding the Cyberdemon can be smashed and the Cyberdemon takes
damage as normal.
There’s a holding cell in one side of this room and a lever at the end of
a corridor. Could these two be connected somehow?
IF A MARINE MOVES ON THE EVENT TILE:
You decide to pull the lever hoping to free whatever creature is in the
holding cell. Who knows, it might be grateful and decide to help you.
Unfortunately nothing seems to happen.
AREA 5
Now that was a smooth ride! Fires light up this room but there’s barely
anything here. There might be supplies on the other side of those doors.
AREA 6
The door leading to area 9 is broken and can’t be smashed. Obstacles
holding the Cyberdemon can be smashed and the Cyberdemon takes
damage as normal. Flames correspond to the map (areas 5 and 6).
Now this is more than you bargained for! A plasma weapon and armor
catch your eye but there’s a Hell Knight guarding them.
IF A MARINE MOVES ON THE EVENT TILE:
You anxiously monitor your surroundings as you pull the lever hoping
for a drastic reaction but nothing seems to happen.
AREA 7
This must’ve been a warehouse of some sort but there’re only a few
supplies left. The teleportation process seems to be getting out of hand.
AREA 8
The door leading to area 9 is broken and can’t be smashed. Obstacles
holding the Cyberdemon can be smashed and the Cyberdemon takes
damage as normal.
IF A MARINE ENDS HIS TURN ON ONE OF THE ENCOUNTERS:
You rummage through some remains and find what you’ve always
wanted: a weapon of your own choosing!
Give the marine a weapon of his own choosing (not including Soul
Cube) and two ammo tokens for the weapon.
IF A MARINE MOVES ON THE EVENT TILE:
Why are there always levers and stuff like that? Why can’t it ever be
simple like go in, kill monster, get out. If this lever doesn’t do anything,
you’re going to retire. You pull the lever but nothing seems to happen.
If all four levers have been pulled, remove all obstacles marked
with red X’s and the broken doors leading to area 9.
AREA 9
With loud rumbling a passage is revealed and apparently the different
areas connect. A side effect is that there’s nothing keeping the monsters
in check anymore. That BFG in the intersection will be put to good use
if you can reach it alive. There’s a door at the end of the hallway that
looks deceivingly like a lift door. But Doctor Kruger is nowhere in sight
and neither is the red security key! What to do?
AREA 10
Do not spawn creatures into this area.
The lift is empty! You might want to hurry inside and pursue your goals.
IF ALL MARINES ARE IN THIS AREA, THERE’RE NO INVADERS IN THIS
AREA AND THE DOOR TO THIS AREA IS CLOSED:
The lift starts to ascend and you leave a horde of monsters behind.
Suddenly you can hear Doctor Kruger’s manic laughter through your
radio: “Hahahaa! You fools! Now your fate is sealed. You’ll be devoured
by my favourite! Hahhaaahaaa!!!”
VI: FACE THE BEAST AND ESCAPE
 SCENARIO VI:
FACE THE BEAST AND ESCAPE
MISSION BRIEFING
Doctor Kruger has tricked you into entering the lair of some beast.
When you get out you’re going to find him and tear him a new one.
SCENARIO GOALS
Face the beast and escape before I score six frags. Each time I draw the
last card from my deck, I get one free frag against you.
All marines must escape from Abaddon via the shuttle in area 6.
AREA DESCRIPTIONS
START AREA
Initially don’t place the airless corridor but place all obstacles.
The lift comes to a sudden stop and doors open. Beyond there’s a huge
cavern with two closed blast-doors on the west wall. The caverns center
stage is dominated by a massive figure that must be the beast Doctor
Kruger mentioned. The monster vaguely resembles a cacodemon but it
is at least twice the size. Luckily it’s trapped between support columns.
Just as you’re watching it, the monster disgorges a huge plasma ball that
explodes near you.
The creature is 3*3 in size (X’s) so use whatever is handy to represent it.
The monster is basically a cacodemon with following exception: double
health, armor, blast radius of the attack and all damage this creature
does. Additionally the creature must attack each round and it only takes
damage from its own attacks.
IF A NON-INTERRUPT ATTACK WOULD WOUND THE CREATURE:
You put all your skill into the attack but the creature seems to absorb
the damage. You must device a different strategy.
The monster doesn’t suffer any wounds.
IF THE CREATURE IS ATTACKING AND A MARINE SUCCESSFULLY USES
AN INTERRUPT ATTACK THAT WOULD WOUND THE CREATURE:
You break the monsters concentration and its attack backfires.
The creature doesn’t take damage from the marines attack but instead
attacks itself (center-square) and takes damage from this attack.
IF THE CREATURE MANAGES TO WOUND ITSELF IN ANY OTHER WAY
(I.E. FAILED AND SCATTERED ATTACKS):
The creature roars in disbelief, it’s been ages since it last felt such pain.
Even this mighty monster isn’t impervious to its own attacks.
IF THE CREATURE IS DEFEATED:
With a deafening roar the monster succumbs to its death. You sigh out
of relief and that’s when the cadaver explodes. The blast tears support
columns and blast doors to pieces. The cavern is caving in!
Remove all obstacles and construct the airless corridor. At the start of
your next turn replace obstacles marked with X’s and remove non-
airless tiles of the area (marines and invaders in this area are fragged).
The cavern has collapsed and buried the remains. The invader forces are
now in disarray but the monsters haven’t given up and are now hunting
for you. The game is about to change so it’s time to device an escape!
Draw to eight cards. This is your hand for the rest of the game
and you can play these cards as normal but you don’t draw
additional cards. At the beginning of your each turn, reveal cards
from your deck equal to twice the number of marines. These cards
are your “turn-hand” and you can play them as though they were
in your hand. You may play multiple summon cards each turn. At
the end of your turn, discard the “turn-hand”.
AREA 1
You start to recognize this place – Kruger’s hideout is close. Too bad
you cleared the area of almost all useful equipment on previous visit.
AREA 2
The lift to Doctor Krugers hideout is here!
IF A MARINE MOVES ON TO THE EVENT TILE:
You can now use the lift to get to Krugers hideout.
If the marine uses the lift, remove the lift-tile (X’s) and “connect” it to
area 4 (X’s) at the beginning of marines next turn. Return-trip is similar.
AREA 3
When the lift arrives you see Kruger running through the security door
into the teleport room. In his haste he drops the red security key.
IF MARINES PICK UP THE RED SECURITY KEY:
You can hear Kruger begging you to open the door. The teleportation
process must be chaotic. You decide to let him die a horrible death.
AREA 4
Something is banging on the red security door.
IF MARINES OPEN THE RED SECURITY DOOR:
Behind the security door you find three ragged shuttle pilots. They’ve
been through a lot so you might want to share some of your equipment
with them. Now all you need is a shuttle to get you out of here.
Pilots are basic marines with 8 BMR, 8 wounds and no extra abilities.
They have pistols and 1 armor each. When they die, they don’t respawn.
AREA 5
The shuttle is close now but there’re powerful invaders in your way. The
Gateway to Abaddon Central Hub is inoperable.
AREA 6 (AIRLESS TERRAIN)
Your spirits soar as you see the shuttle ready to go!
IF A PILOT ENTERS THE AREA:
The pilot disengages the shuttles autodefences.
IF THE AUTODEFENCES ARE OPERATIONAL AND A MARINE OR AN
INVADER MOVES NEXT TO THE SHUTTLE:
The shuttles autodefences are operational. Security turrets open fire.
Same as before: Watchful and attacks with a red and two green dice.
IF MARINES OPEN BLUE SECURITY DOOR AND THEY HAVE NO PILOT:
Damn – only a direct pilot-interface! You’ll need a pilot to fly this vessel
unless you want to try to link your unprotected brain to the shuttle?
If a marine wants to link his brain to the shuttle, he’ll die.
IF MARINES OPEN BLUE SECURITY DOOR AND THEY HAVE A PILOT:
The direct pilot-interface awaits an operator.
IF MARINES ARE INSIDE THE SHUTTLE AND PILOT IS ON THE EVENT:
The pilot plugs himself into the interface but something goes horribly
wrong and he dies smoking and screaming. His remains slump to the
floor and you’ll have to face the facts: you’re never getting off this rock.
Just as the crushing despair fills your heart, you’re confronted by your
greatest hero. Doctor Duren – bloodied and obviously insane – shoots
his way through a horde of invaders while all the time singing the
complete score to “Meet Me in St. Louis.” He jumps to the shuttle and
shouts: “Idiots, use the manual controls”. He bangs the console a few
times while muttering “it’s not a bug, it’s a feature”. The manual
controls spring from the console and Duren flies the shuttle out of
Abaddon. You’re safe now in the capable hands of a mad scientist.
 RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
GENERAL
Use the deck form the expansion set and place monsters on map as they
appear (i.e. Cherub is a Cherub and not a Trite, spawn what you like).
The main rules modification is the addition of weight to items. Idea is
that the more you carry the less you move (Marine movement below).
Marines start with normal wounds but without weapons, armor (except
with Tough) or ammo. For 1 or 2 marines one random marine card
from categories I, II and III each (see Deck and Card modifications
below). For 3 marines one random card from categories II and III each.
No permanent armor (except with Tough). Armor can be dropped or
given to other marines. When marines die they spawn with the same
amount of armor. If a marine with no armor would suffer any wounds,
count the damage like the marine had one armor but double the amount
of wounds suffered (includes damaging obstacles, vacuum etc.).
MARINE MOVEMENT
A few definitions to calculate the amount of movement a marine has:
BMR Base Movement Rate of a marine is 8. This is not the actual rate
of movement for a marine. Marines may increase their BMR
between scenarios by spending kills (see prizes).
W Weight as in what is the total weight of all equipment, armor,
weapons etc. a marine is carrying.
DECK AND CARD MODIFICATIONS
Crushing Blow can be used against any armor.
Jammed weapons copy can still be used (except grenades).
Medic: Heal ability and can carry Health Packs (4 kg each).
Tough: You always have at least one armor. You can’t give, lose or sell
your last armor. Your each armor weighs 10 kg.
Marine Cards I (10 cards): Crack Shot, Danger Sense, Lean and Mean,
Lithe, Marksman (*2), Medic, Prepared, Recon, Sniper.
Marine Cards II (10 cards): Assassin, Big Guy, Careful, Officer,
Perfect Aim, Special Ops (*2), Survival Ops (*2), Tech Op.
Marine Cards III (8 cards): Alert, Efficient Killer, Front Guard,
Ground Assault, Killer Instinct, Scout, Tactician, Tough.
WEAPONS
Roll for weapon breakage immediately after a marine rolls an X but only
with the first attack roll (X’s in reroll don’t break the weapon).
Pistols are unbreakable and can be fired without ammo tokens.
Plasma Gun has Aimed in addition to Accuracy.
Turrets move immediately after owners turn before airlocks close.
ENEMIES
Raged Maggot gets 3 attacks (not 4) and only one (not 2) with Watchful.

WC Weight Constraint is the amount of how much Weight is You may move the Trite before blowing it up with Trite Blast.
restricting the marine’s movement.
WEIGHTS (kg) & PRIZES
WC = W/10 rounded down Item Weight Cost
(i.e. WC for 40–49 (kg) is 4)
Armor 15 20
MR Movement Rate is the basic amount of movement for marines. Health Pack (Medic only) 4 5
Check MR at the start of marines each turn. Oxygen Cylinder 2 5
MR = BMR – WC. Adrenaline 1 5
The MR corresponds to “move 4 spaces” in the basic rule set. So all you Berserk, Invisibility, Megasphere 0 NA
have to do is use MR instead of a movement rate of 4 from basic rule Security Keys 0 NA
set and Marine Card abilities (i.e. Advance is “move up to MR and attack Security Turret 0 20 *
once” and Sprint is “move up to 2 * MR”). Shells/Bullets 1 3
There’re situations when a marine would get a decimal (or fraction) Energy Cell 2 5
number for the maximum amount of movement (i.e. with Assault card). Grenades/Rockets 3 5
If this happens, you have to decide whether to round the marine’s Pistol 0 NA
movement up or down. If the decimal in W/10 is 5 or more, the marine Machine Gun 5 10
moves less. For clarification see the example below. Shotgun 5 10
Not everything depends on the MR for example Earthquake and the Chainsaw 5 10
Knockback ability are not affected (use your brains). Rocket Launcher 5 20
Chain Gun 10 20
Example: A marine with basic BMR of 8 is carrying 37 kg. Now:
Plasma Gun 10 30
WC = 3 since W/10 = 3.7 rounded down is 3 BFG 20 40
MR = BMR – WC = 8 – 3 = 5 Soul Cube 0 NA
So the marine can for example move up to 5 spaces and Heal one wound 0 2
attack once (Advance) or move up to 10 spaces (Sprint). Heal three wounds 0 5
The marine has the Assault card and decides to Unload Permanent increase to Wounds 0 20 **
which in the basic rule set would allow him to attack three Permanent increase to BMR 0 20 **
times and move up to 2 spaces. This is half of the regular Additional random Marine Card I 0 25 **
movement of 4 in the basic rule set. Therefore the revised Additional random Marine Card II 0 45 **
movement rate is half of the MR. Additional random Marine Card III 0 65 **

In above we had the MR = 5 so MR/2 = 2.5. How much
should the marine be able to move? We had W/10 = 3.7
where the decimal is 7 and as stated in the rules we should
round the movement down (decimal is 5 or more). The
marine can move up to 2 spaces (if the marine had been
carrying say 33 kg he could have moved up to 3 spaces).
* Decrease the cost by 5 for every wound the turret has suffered.
** Increase the cost by 5 after every purchase (marine specific).
There’re no limits to how many items of a given type a marine may buy
except when there’re no more tokens. Marines may sell their equipment
with half prize (sum it up first). Items with cost “NA” cannot be bought
or sold. The last seven items on the list (upgrades) cannot be sold.
