So I've been thinking of moving the Mansions of Madness board game to the tabletop with miniatures and movement speeds etc. I think I like the game mechanics well enough.

So what might be some pros or cons, changes you might suggest, issues that might come up. etc.?

cheers

I'd wonder what the advantages would be. MoM is not a tactical combat game by any means; in fact, combat is rare and often to be avoided. Furthermore, the system relies heavily on the sector-based movement and weapon ranges, which fits the scenarios which are mainly indoor encounters. there is the Call of the Wild expansion which takes place in more open areas, but I haven't played it.

I've toyed with the idea of an Arkham Horror Table top game with miniatures but there wasn't enough of a RPG feel. The game works well for fast action in a complicated system.

On the other hand I have really liked the way MoM has been going. I also like the sector based movements. I could see sidewalks, garden paths, or hedges dividing spaces on the table.

My trouble is that I have figures from both RAFM Kick starters, Reapers last two, and so many nice Deep Ones being released. I need a good game system, not too complicated for a quick miniature game with loads of toys.

Besides I have one of the large Gug from Avolak Castings that I need to get on the table.
