…Winter.
I’ll show myself out.
X-D
The next newsletter is up! https://mailchi.mp/ed816d5ff9b6/freedom-five-a-sentinels-comics-board-game-pre-kickstarter-newsletter-issue-3901925
More looks at gameplay, minis, and ability cards.
Interesting that each of the heroes have an alter ego ability. Absolute Zero isn't ever out of suit except when he's back in his cryo-chamber.
Oh, this is very exciting. :D
Yeah, I wonder if his might be him in the chamber - either recovering from damage, or maybe providing assistance and advice to other heroes? I’ll be very interested to see.
Also a “personal task”.
Also, he's Frozone-style ice surfing now! And his mini looks *awesome.*
Yeah, the alter ego thing is really interesting. Since the gameplay has, until now, seemed focused on superheroics, I wonder what happens in the gameplay to encourage (or force) players to flip back to their alter ego. There must either be problems that can only be solved in mild-mannered mode, things the villain can do to force you to adopt your alter identity, or a cooldown on how long you can stay in costume.
Anybody else open up the image with the overview of components and zoom in? Besides hints about hero stats and abilities, there's a reference to "the scenario comic."
have we been told prices yet on the regular box and the heroic box? Also how long the kickstarter will run for?
We only know what has been provided in the email updates and that information has not been shared. Only piece I'd guess on is the KS length as those usually default to around a month.
New newsletter already! https://mailchi.mp/dd9438c278bc/freedom-five-a-sentinels-comics-board-game-pre-kickstarter-newsletter-issue-3904457
We have a video of AZ's mini being colored, pricing tier breakdown, a look at the places in Megalopolis, a peek at the Bystander, Special (with special guest hero appearance!), and Anarchy cards, and finally a totally boss pic of Baron Blade.
Yeah, that was a _great_ update! :-D
Pricing was better than I expected, also. Should be an interesting Kickstarter! ;-)
Hey, it's Parse! :D
I like the way these anarchy cards work, too. You can just clear them, or clear them with a benefit, or fail and get wrecked. :)
Yeah, they look really cool! I’m excited to see what other challenges and support characters show up in game.
(Although my repressed anarchist side feels like the Anarchy cards could do with a rename :P )
Second to last newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/cac80cbe9da3/freedom-five-a-sentinels-comics-board-game-pre-kickstarter-newsletter-issue-3905301
This one has lots of villain-related-things previews, more hero ability card previews, and a truly awesome Baron Blade mini!
Ambuscade is not allowed to look that cool. >:B
I really love how they've forgone flavor text on the cards in favor of the art being basically an entire page of a comic book. :D
You're right, that Blade mini is incredible.
Yeah, I normally love me all the flavor text, but... that art. So tempting.
It's like the Distracted Boyfriend meme with me as the dude, the Freedom Five Artist(s) as the lady in red, and Adam as the horrified girlfriend. >_>
Except Adam is also looking at the art with admiration. ;-) But yeah, agreed! :-D
My guess is that not having flavor text was another concession on the “less additional work for Christopher” front.
I doubt that makes it easier: you still have to flesh out the story beats, whether there are words or not?
