Scooby Gang as Survivors

Been asking for this for a while now but I refuse to give up on this dream.

You know these skins would sell like hot cakes if they got added.

Completely understand why Warner Bros might not want their children IP associated with a mature game like this, but common it would be so perfect: Freddie, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and maybe scooby. Also, at this point, the Scooby Doo IP has to be in the toilet after the box office bomb that was Scoob and years of no new content. Like I seriously doubt they're drawing in many new young fans for Scooby Doo so what do they really have to lose.

They don't even need to be new survivors they can just make them cosmetics/cosplays for existing survivors like Attack on Titan. They could even give Dwight a Scooby onesie.

    Good thing you mentioned giving Dwight a Scooby onesie. Hooking or performing a mori on a dog wouldn't sit quite right with me, even in a game. :<

    Would love the scooby gang in dbd though. :)

    Dwight - Shaggy

    Claudette - Velma

    Meg - Daphne

    Jake - Fred

    It's so simple. I hope one day WB lets them do it.

    THANK YOU! I had this idea too, and loved it the moment it entered my brain.

    Imagine a class of survivor perks that just have silly requirments but powerful effects.

    Shaggy gets a Sprint burst, except instead of making you exhausted, it temporarily forces you to be unable to move (The animation would be the classic shaggy running midair before swooshing off)- the longer you stay in that state the greater speed boost you get if you aren't injured while it is in use.

    Fred could have his own trap perk, except it requires him to be within the area to activate. If the killer hits a generator, they are stunned- but more importantly the survivors working on generators get a bonus to their repair speed and the bonus from great skill checks for a short time.

    Velma would obviously have some form of aura reading, she was THE clue finder. Although I'd like them to represent her absolute fearless nature even when faced with a "monster". Ironically, if any of the gang were to throw hands with a killer- I would place my bets on her. The closest we would probably get could be some kind of flashlight perk where you gain tokens that let you see killer aura, but you only gain tokens when pointing a flashlight at the killer for a certain amount of time. I would prefer it not to rely on outright blinding since lightborn would functionally make it useless like flashlights are as is when someone uses it.

    Daphne would be somewhat harder to pin down in terms of perks. She always struck me as more of the "glue" of the gang, someone who kept things running smooth as a group. I figure some team-based perks would fit that, but honestly that I would leave to discretion.

    if they don’t get the license, I hope they at least go the Gigi Goode route and softly reference their designs

    Omg I'd love scooby doo skins, so much. Please consider getting them BHVR or just a scooby doo chapter would be so fun!

    I think the best way to do this would be with licenced cosmetics as opposed to a chapter.

    Felix = Fred Cosmetic

    Kate = Daphne Cosmetic

    Michaela = Velma Cosmetic

    Shaggy = Dwight Cosmetic

    And then wraith could have a cosmetic of just a white table cloth over him with the eyes cut out.

    I'd buy the ######### outta that.

    There is that Dredge community skin that makes it into a bedsheet ghost, should come out in a Rift, hopefully this year.
