I heard that PA2 is in the works, so I’d like to share with you my little wishlist for the upcoming expansions/revisions…

(1) In the rulebook, please include a realistic example of the Hell Time battle!
I learned to play the game by reading the rulebook. The description of the Hell Time is followed by an example where the heroes never help each other when fighting Baphomet. With this example in mind, my gaming group started playing Planet Apocalypse with the conviction that asking for help when attacking was a last resort solution (it costs 1 courage to the helping hero, after all) and that each had to be able to roll a couple of dice capable overcoming the lord’s toughness before entering Hell Time. Needless to say, we were soundly defeated many times before realizing the advantage of helping each other when fighting the demon lord. I admit that there is a life lesson in what we went through, but another gaming group may decide to quit the game after biting the dust for the third time in a row. So, please, clearly explain in the rulebook how a lord battle is supposed to be fought.

(2) What about a different background for the Doomgate map?
All the owners of Planet Apocalypse know it well: the fields and the buildings on the Doomgate map are identical to those on the Invasion map. So here we have a core game box with two identical maps, which in my opinion is a bit underwhelming. Of course, playing the Doomgate map feels very different from playing the Invasion map, but come on… This is the game with the first player marker depicting a Sandy-faced gryllus, whith cool plastic markers for everything, with “bling” everywhere! Using the same background for the two maps in the core box seems to me a step in the opposite direction!

(3) What about map-specific demons?
My gaming group regularly plays Chtulhu Wars and Glorantha the Gods War. In the former case, each new map comes with a couple of map-specific monsters, while in the latter case we use the dragons, the chaos monsters and the cosmic monsters to change the overall “feel” of the map. In Planet Apocalypse, each map offers a very different experience in terms of gameplay, but the possibility of using all lords on all maps, on the one hand gives the game an incredible replayability, but on the other hand makes the maps lose flavor. When advancing from the Invasion map to the Doomgate map, my fellow players immediately asked “where are the new monsters”? When I heard this complaint, well knowing that PA2 was in the works, I tried to find a way of introducing map-specific demons without turning upside-down the game, and I come out with this idea:
(a) The map-specific demon of a certain map may be a single figure or a group of figures. Its purpose is adding flavour to the map and at the same time reinforcing the overall feel of the map in terms of gameplay. For example, the map demons of the Invasion map may be rank and file troops which have the same armor of the limbo minions, but are treated as demons for all other purposes. As another example, the map demons of the Doomgate map may be horrible dancing creatures that spawn in the start area, then move counterclockwise, scoring doom when they reach the lord’s shadow. Other maps offer inspiration for even more strange beings, such as the stone statues that may appear in the cathedral on the dragon’s back or the parasite-like abominations that may have taken residence in the dragon’s innards. Well, you get the idea…
(b) The map-specific demon(s) may appear the first time that all figures of a minion type are already on the map and the rolled despair dice require the placement of more minions of that type (an event which usually increases the doom track by one, as we all know). If the map-specific demon consists in several identical figures, those figures may be placed all at once or in groups, one group for every occurrence of the event described above. 
(c) The map-specific demons may be sold in a single box, similar to the box with the Elder Races for Glorantha:The Gods War. Each demon type would be accompanied by a square carboard tile which fits on the right side of the core box tile summarizing the minions.
(d) From a commercial point of view, everyone who owns the expansions would probably buy the map-demons expansion for spicing up his game, or simply to have a reason for playing the campaign from start to finish another time. On the other hand, those who buy the map-demons expansion would probably buy all the expansions, sooner or later, to make proper use of all the figures in the box.
