[Gloom] Expansion Family Names and Backgrounds

[warderbrad]

Hello all,
I recently began playing this great game and decided to get the expansions. I came to find out that the two expansions my LGS had did not have any detail on the new families they included. I was able to get the Unwelcome Guests and Unfortunate Expeditions expansions. I now have two new families with no backgound info nor even a name for the clan. This starting point is very helpful for new players and hesitant players as it helps to overcome the "But, I am not a good story teller, I have no idea where to start." If anyone knows where the info about the expansion families can be found I would be very appreciative.

This is the best I could find on the other families. The one I would like to see an expanded background for is the Malone mob.

The malodorous Malone mob: When Boils Malone brought his family overseas to "get away from the heat," he wasn't expecting quite so much rain!

The artistes of Le Canard Noir: When art lets you down, the Black Duck is there for you. This dingy cafe is home to a motley assortment of washed-up bohemians, whose creative endeavors always end in disaster. Here the tormented painter Rosseau buys drinks for neurotic models and destitute poets, while a troubled actress and sickly courtesan compare notes across the way.

The Bumpersnoots: When the Colonel was in his prime, he won the heart of his jungle princess, and soon they had Little Timmy. The mandrill monkey Rascal came along with his cousin, and in their adventuring they picked up the animated idol Bopobodingo as a companion for Little Timmy.

Hi there, and welcome! Each expansion has a "Meet the Family" type of preview on its product page, in the right column. Here are the direct links:
