I can tell via Twitter that some lucky souls have received their Kickstarter packages already at GenCon. Since I suppose that officially means that the EE and IR are officially launched and there are no more spoilers, if there is anyone out there who can shoot me pix of the fronts and backs of the alt character cards, I'm dying to turn those into oversized cards and start using them since they use decks I already have in my possession. You can contact me at spiffworld@gmail.com. I'm looking for fronts and backs of both the character and rules cards (in the case of villains) for:
Sweet, can't wait. I suppose since I just need the text from each side of each card, it doesn't have to come from an actual picture or scan. I just though taking a cameraphone pic of the cards would be easiest.
Spiff, do you have any time in the middle of the day tomorrow? I know I'm asking a lot, as most people have "real jobs". Mine just happens to involve working in a very orange office.
Yeah, the new Vengeful Baron Blade and Cosmic Omnitron make them a lot more interesting, I'm glad the Electro-pulse Explosives aren't components or else the game could be over before it really started. Will be trying them out this Friday at my game club.
Perfecto. I'll have oversized cards ready by tomorrow. Chris, do we think that the difficulty number for these alt versions matches that of the originals (1), or is it different?
Question: Is Cosmic Omnitron still considered a Device? It's not on the villain card image, so I assume not. I guess he doesn't need the boost himself quite so much anymore.
Is one of them tougher than the other? I need to put a single number for each, so unless I hear that one (and which one) should be a 3, I'll put 2 for both.
Wow... Can't wait to get my little hands on the new Alt. Villians. By reading them they seem to be a lot tougher than before. Also didn't expect Baron Blade to destroy/put under his villian targets, I guess he really is going at this solo.
The Device thing on Omnitron seems to be a misprint, he still has them on his smaller cards, but the oversized cards are missing it. Voss is also missing his Thorathian keyword on the oversized card as well as Dawn missing her Citizen keyword.
I'm not sure what you're referring to here, Koga. Does this have to do with the alternate characters we're talking about, or are you just talking about problems you see on the official oversized villain cards that came with the Kickstarter (which should probably be raised in a different topic)?
pwatson1974 asked about Cosmic Omnitron being a device or not just a few posts above mine so I figured I'd answer it in here. I've added the quote to my previous post, I don't tend to quote often unless it's from far back in the thread. Guess I should do it more often considering how this forum is now set up where you can view the new posts and don't see the old ones unless you scroll up.
With no official response by the time I sat down at my computer to crank out these oversized cards, I'm going to include the missing "device" on Cosmic Omnitron's oversized card and mark each of the encounters as "2" difficulty. If any of that turns out to be incorrect, I'll change it later.
