I actually like Iron Legacy as an opponent a lot more than the Chairman or the Matriarch because while they're all dificult, The Chairman and the Matriarch take a while to beat you. You can know you're going to lose long before it happens, so it is kind of deflating.
With Iron Legacy, the game only lasts three or four turns one way or the other, so it's much quicker in that respect, and I kind of enjoy the mad dash to do damage against him.
This is a neat idea. I could see (H) environments being involved and each one has an "Isolated Hero" effect on it, so it only interacts with the heroes currently in that place. Then there's some additional mechanic for moving your Hero from one Env to another. It would bring a nice, scour the world for clues feel to the game and i like the symmatry of V-Style = Multiple Villains and O-Style = Multiple Environments.
Pity we're going to have to wait a long while to find out the details.
We'll see what we find out on Tuesday when the Kickstarter goes live!
I assume it will be different then what we are expecting and quite clever.
Completely agree! 
I wasn't around when Vengence was first announced, did >G reveal details about its new mechanic early in the process (as in, how likely is it that the Kickstarter will answer a bunch of our questions).
The kickstarter page for Shattered Timelines has a lot of Vengeance updates on it. You can see a lot of what they had to say during the development process. Here's the initial Vengeance announcement as a stretch goal for Shattered Timelines.
So, anybody want to guess on whether there will be any big reveals about FILTER in the final arc? I've been theorizing for a while that they are secretly connected to the Cosmic Entity in some way.
It's probably completely wrong, but I'd like to see the expansion clarify the "Legacy problem".
I mean : each generation, Legacy gets more powerful. Iron Legacy was already powerful enough to become the planet's tyrant - what will Legacy be like in ten generations ? A hundred ?
If the family does not disappear, the "Final Legacy" may be of OblivAeon's power level. At least. And anyway, at any time, one Legacy may turn "bad".
So - is OblivAeon a future Legacy ? Or the result of a "Legacy" family from another world/time ?
Does OblivAeon search the galaxies for signs of "Legacies", destroying them (and everything around them) before they can become dangerous for him (or for others) ?
Or is he the origin of the Legacy's cumulative genetics, maybe ?
It seems OblivAeon may have been responsible for the Shattered Timelines - but they also were about Legacy, and who from the father or heir would die, even if the heroes managed to build a timeline where both survived. Was the plan, for big O, to end the family line ? If so, did he decide to "intervene" personally because his other plans had failed ?
I am probably wrong, but I can't forget this idea that, somehow, Legacy is the reason OblivAeon is so interested in Earth. Not surprising, as I have been obsessed with the "Legacy Problem" since the base game ;)
Seems more likely to me that OblivAeon is a primal entity of the uni/multiverse and unconnected to Legacy. His name does suggest that his job is to reduce everything to nothing.
Maybe he is a reset button!
And Jansa Vi Dero would be the "save" button...?
Seriously though, anyone notices the ressemblance between The Terminarch and Oblivaeon? (Yellow and Pink dots and lines. Big pink eyes.) I suspect they might be on similar power level and might even come from the same place/time. Maybe.
I speculated a long time ago in one of my Footenotes series that Jansa and our cosmic entity were the two parties of "The Wager" the created the multiverse, where Jansa is the one who lost when she said nothing would happen and Oblivaeon won when something did happen (the creation of the universe as we know it).
I don't think that OblivAeon would be the one who bet that something would exist. Why would he destroy everything right after...? I do believe that OblivAeon, while still an incredibly powerful entity, is not the entity that either won or lost the initial bet.
The Wager was that "something would happen", not nessesarily exist (they already existed to make the bet right?).
Anyway, its just my pet theory.
Must have accidentally spent all the bet winnings on pizza. And now it’s almost time for his next mortgage payment. Time for another wager.
Maybe the Enclave’s function is to preserve selected life from one uni/multiverse to the next, thus allowing the continuation of life from one cycle to the next.
Maybe Earth is the one time life came about on its own without consent/intervention of Jansa or Obliv and thus pissing Obliv off.
That can't be quite true as neither Voss nor Tempest, nor any of the creatures comprising Voss's genebound army are from Earth...
Actually the Sentinels RPG demo that ran at the Montreal geekfest contained genebound humans disguised as scientists so they would exist but are not amongst Voss' most dangerous troops thus not in the card game. One could say humans are a bit plain as far as special abilities are concerned.
Plain with a few unique exceptions.
From the Kickstarter, it looks like OblivAeon's only beef with Earth is that they Just Won't Die. Worrying about Legacies or where the life on a plane came from seems far too petty for it; it is oblivion, incarnate.
From the KS so far, sounds like Void and Oblivaeon are the same side of two different coins? Both imply nothingness, but one borrows you power before returning you to the void, the other uses power to forcefully turn you into oblivion.
