I’ve already made my statement about custom deck boxes/sleeves for the heroes, villains, and environments. Though I can see how that would be an unrealistic goal.
The playmat that is already designed is alright I suppose, I would really like one that has some art of all the heroes on it though. Or the heroes clashing with the villains!
Thanks to the little tour Christopher took last weekend, I got to see some peeks of the alternate Fanatic and Ra. I must say that the duo are pretty impressive (especially Fanatic, but, y’know…I’m a FAN-atic of her! A-huk a-huk a-huk!) in appearance (manly breasts! Metal visors! MORE WINGS!!) and I am not greatly curious as to what their new powers shall entail.
Wraith went from a shadow cat (with weapons) into an environmental controller (with weapons). Her HP changed, too, if I recall? Will these two get even MORE violent with their powers, or take some new approach? Fanatic uses divine retribution to cast radiant light on herself, compounding even more with her ability to strike fear in the hearts of those against her, all the more as her life slips away. Maybe she can throw her cards away or gain them?
I mean, those two have great combat-oriented powers: Slap one target in the face. Hard. What’ll they do in the future-land? Mystery, eh?
Things are getting REALLY close for Omnitron promos. I know the momentum couldn’t have continued as it was the first few days but I really hope Baron Blade comes to pass this time. Lots of time, as long as the buzz keeps spreading.
Oh…and on BGG they posted a cover pic of the enhanced edition and the NightMist pic in the core game and Infernal Relic photo galleries…how many thumbs does it take to make the front page of BGG? That could help spread the love if any of you are BGG and haven’t added any thoughts there.
I think the new addition of the “upgrade” level to the Kickstarter will help us hit the Baron Blade stretch reward in no time. I’ve already got my eyes on the super secret $50k reward.
Would I really be thinking too big to think that $50k or something past that could be the inclusion of the 3rd expansion? Too big? Yeah, probably so…but wouldn’t that be awesome!
Woohoo, Omnitron has been reached. Looking foward to taking on the new and improved robo-menace. Now to wait for Baron Blade to try something else since he failed at bringing the moon to the Earth.
Whoa, there’s some kind of cosmic entity out there that brought Omnitron back to life, and doesn’t even care about the implications of destruction? That’s a scary thought. I certainly hope there won’t be any adventures into space that bring us face to face with this entity… That’d just be frightening.
This just in, Omnitron was brought back by Baron Blade! And the two alternate cards are actually only one sided, so we need to get Baron Blade’s alternate as well to complete it. And how combat works is you shuffle Baron Blade’s and Omnitron’s deck together and have to face the evil wrath of Omnitron being Piloted by Baron Blade himself!!!
Edit: I wonder how much HP this Omnitron will have?
The one after that The Chairman wearing the Mask of the Matriarch? Then after that Spite mutated into a monster… Oh wait he already is, then Plague Rat on drugs! Oh… That’s already him too… Eh, fun while it lasted.
On a serious note, it would be fun to have a cross between two current villians. Whether they are on opposite sides of a card or something else.
The board game Guardians of Graxia had miniatures that served absolutely no purpose. I use them as a replacement for BV trackers, but they are really just there to be pretty, or attract miniature lovers. Strictly card-based games generally don’t have a use, other than noting who is who, which is noted with your deck.
I’m not so sure I would want SotM miniatures, since they would be sitting around collecting dust. I prefer them use that money for more alternate cards and such.
Yeah, I’d just rather get more alternate cards than mini-figures. They’d be neat and all, but I don’t see them serving too much of a practical purpose. I wonder if we’ll ever see an alternate Tempest or Tachyon, since we’ve already passed up their nemeses.
Maybe their promo cards could be another 'nother Stretch Reward here? I’m really looking foward to a Tempest Promo, being my favorite character and all. Granted since it probably won’t be a damaging power I probably won’t use it as much as his base card, kind of like I still haven’t play Wraith’s. It’s still a nice option though.
Yeah, I like them for the different options and what they’d be good for in different situations. I know I’ll be using the new Wraith when I grow the stones to take on Chairman in Rook City. You really gotta keep control over that environment. I’d like to see Tachyon’s new power be something like “take any burst card from your deck and put it immediately into the trash.” Or would that just make her too strong?
Maybe Tempest’s alt power would just be a focused attack, “Deal one target two/three lightning damage”
Yeah, Tachyon can go through her deck fast enough as it is. Then maybe she’d take Tempest’s old power and just do one damage to everything. Then again, she’s got a ton of cards that let her do that already.
