SPAWN MATRIX: (card numbers from Overhaul/2E Format card sets)
T109-T114, T121-T126 – Soft matrix
T115-T120, T127-T138 – Hard matrix
Cards #T109-T120 are identical to cards #T121-T138. This is so you can balance your spawn deck with more flexibility (for example, if you have less Ghoul miniatures).

MINIATURES (NOT INCLUDED):
If you own Zombicide: Night of the Living Dead you can use the Ghoul miniatures with these spawn cards. Otherwise standard or special type Zombicide miniatures will work fine (remember there are no Ghoul Runners!).
The spawn cards are balanced to match the amount of Ghoul miniatures that come with Zombicide: Night of the Living Dead. The original core box comes with: 28 Ghoul Walkers, 12 Ghoul Breakers, 12 Ghoul Fatties, and 2 Ghoul Relatives. The Dead of Night Expansion adds 1 Ghoul Walker and 1 Ghoul Relative.

DISTRIBUTION:
PLEASE DO NOT SELL ANY OF THE MATERIAL IN THIS EXPANSION!
People trying to make a profit off of other peoples’ work smothers the custom content community and causes creators to remove their creations and stop making more, not to mention forces game companies to crack down on fan made creations like this one.
Otherwise redistribution is fine, but please try to ensure all the material in this expansion is included. Modification for personal use is also fine. Please don’t re-release modified versions of this material without including a list of changes as well as credit to everyone whose work you used, and include a readme like this one.
WANT TO HELP?
If you want to support custom content creators, the best way is to just be part of the community. Multiple forums and platforms for sharing Zombicide content exist, such as Discord, Board Game Geek, Eren Histarion forums (French), Facebook groups, and others.
Under #1 “Living Dead Ghoul Rules”, Item #6 – “…lose the most recent Blue skill…” — Please clarify, typically your most recent Blue skill is your only Blue skill.
Hey Battlemaxx.
There was a lot of discussion about how to word that. I settled on “most recent Blue skill” I believe to cover ultrared situations. The other option was “their most recent Skill (if they have not gained any Skills, they lose all of their Blue Skills).” Do you think that a better way? I’m currently in the process of updating these old modules.
This rule has been clarified in the newest release.
