I checked on the Randomizer code, and it is not currently working as intended. Looks like I built it to only be able to choose between two versions of a card at a time, something that's been broken by Wraith and now Legacy (I shouldn't have built it to be so restrictive, but it seemed reasonable at the time). Also, the way I have it determining which is the base card and which is the alt card used a manual process that I haven't kept updated over time.
I won't have time to sit down and fix it until the weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I've finished the rest of the penny sleeves card boxes and posted them to my site. I'm a little nervous about them. I usually print out and test things before I post them, but since I don't sleeve my cards, I can't do that with these. If anyone finds any problems with them, please let me know.
Going over the Enhanced Edition card inserts, there are a few typos I've noticed with the Environment cards.
Volcanic Eruption - Spelled as Volcanic Erruption
V.E. Flavor text, line 2 start "the volacno"
While not a typo per se (and I don't know if it changed in EE or not), line 3 of V.E.'s flavor text should read "burning across the island as the lava", whereas it currently reads "burning across the island and lava"
Primordial Plant Life Flavor text, line 1 reads as "The clinging vines trapped tighter and", but (and again, don't know if changed in EE) should probably be "The clinging vines wrapped tighter and"
Pterodactyl Thief Flavor text, line 1 has "With a screch"
I know I'm probably being a stickler with most of these, since it's flavor text (aside from Volcanic Eruption), but chances are you'd want to know and fix that.
Also, if I may ask, would it be possible to re-do the oversized villain cards, but with the actual nemesis icons? There's quite a few redone heroes with more coming, and while it's nice to have the actual art of each hero the villain has as a nemesis, it just seems like there'd end up with a bit of clutter of the card. Iron Legacy comes to mind specifically when thinking about this, since you'd have to have 13(!) faces on there, as opposed to the 6 icons.
1) The EE card inserts are just me copy/pasting the information that >G made public when the EE came out. I can't edit the images themselves, so that's not something I can change.
2) I've thought about reconsidering the decision (which seemed a good one at the time) to use the hero's faces instead of their icons, because of the problem you say -- as we get more alt heroes, the way I made my oversized villain cards could make things less clear, not more. It's still a toss-up for me, however. I don't prefer using the icons because then you have to mentally translate the icon in your head into which hero it represents (or worse, look it up), while with a face you can immediately understand who it is. It's really only an issue with Legacy, since his alts are different people, as opposed to everyone else whose alts are just different versions of the same people. That means that with Spite, I can use the base Wraith's face and not have to put Rook City Wraith or F6 Wraith on there too. But I've put both Daddy and Baby Legacy on Baron Blade's oversized card, and now I guess I'd have to put Grandpa Legacy's face too? I agree it's not elegant.
At this point, I don't think I'll be changing them to use the icons instead of faces, because of the preference against it I mentioned above. Iron Legacy isn't his own nemesis, so I won't have to put a row of Legacy faces on there anyway. It'll still just be Baron Blade that I'll have to figure out what to do with.
UPDATE: oops, I just remembered that F6 Bunker is a different person than regular Bunker, so I'll have to figure out what to do about that now too. :(
I've gotten my hands on some of the new art, so I've posted a few updates. The file on my site that used to include oversized hp trackers for just Dark Visionary and the Freedom Six now also includes Eternal Haka (same deal as the others - the front of the card has new art and rules, back of the card is Haka's old art and rules, which I'll update once the promo cards are actually available). I've also updated the oversized villain cards for Omnitron, Cosmic Omnitron, and Plague Rat so they now show the faces of their nemeses, replacing the "?" they used to have.
I still don't have Greatest Legacy's art, but when I get it, I'll post an oversized promo card for that as well.
1) I finally got ahold of Greatest Legacy art, so now he's got an oversized hero card on my site along with the Freedom Six, Eternal Haka, and Dark Visionary promos.
2) Christopher says he's fine with with my posting these promo cards before the actual cards are available as long as people don't get confused by them (remember, since the actual cards aren't available yet, I'm using the core hero's art/rules on the backs for now, and will update them with the actual stuff when it's available). So to avoid any confusion, I've added a watermark of sorts on each making it clear that the art/rules on the back aren't actually the art/rules for that promo.
3) When I first started making these accessories, I didn't have the actual font used by the SotM cards so I used a generic comic sans font. Each new round of accessories I've made has used one of the older ones as a template, so even though I've actually got the real font now, they all use that lame font. I finally decided that I've had enough of that, so today I went back through every one of my oversized hero and villain cards and updated the fonts to use the one the real cards use. They look much better now, but even I won't be re-printing every one of them immediately (there are quite a few of them). I'll probably print a couple every now and then until I've updated everything.
4) I've removed the quarter-sized hp trackers from my site. I never particularly loved them, and I know of no one who does. I've recently tried to make an improved version of them, and even the improved version isn't significantly better than just using dice (primary problem: you can change a dice with one hand but manipulating any kind of a spinner takes both hands). So, since they suck, they are now gone.
5) Finally, just a note to say that I'm making pretty good progress on the new batch of accessories for Shattered Timeline and expect to have everything ready by March if it turns out that we get it that early (fingers crossed). I'll post the new card boxes (both unsleeved and penny sleeved versions) as soon as they're ready so people can start printing and assembling them early. The other stuff will be posted when the expansion has shipping.
For us obsessive, neurotic completionists, would you be willing to make custom dividers, in the same style as the official >G-issued ones, for the promo versions of each hero?
I'm guessing that you use your custom tuckboxes for your SotM decks, but I (and others, I'm sure) like and use the pretty pretty dividers >G provides. I'm considerings ordering duplicates of the decks for Legacy and Bunker, since their promos represent completely different people. Given the "time as a ball of yarn" plot device of the Shattered Timelines story arc, having different versions of each hero fighting side by side is very plausible and interesting, and I really want to have a "Family Reunion" battle of Finest Legacy, Newest Legacy, and Greatest Legacy versus Iron Legacy.
I imagine you're busy with developing your own ideas, but you ever have some downtime, please consider this.
Exactly that thing (dividers that look like the official ones but for promo heroes) has been made by jagarciao here on the forums. He's shown me pix, so I know they exist. Maybe he can post a link where people could download them?
I don't really have anywhere to host the images so those PDFs were the best I could do. If someone wants the actual (and much larger) image files, just PM me and I can email them.
For anyone who wants to get printing and assembling early, I've updated my site with a link to a .zip file containing all the card boxes for the Shattered Timelines expansion, including the promo decks. It contains just the no-sleeve-cards size right now, but I should be able to get the penny-sleeve-size done and posted soon.
I've got the rest of the accessories ready to go, though I won't be posting those until I get my hands on my ST shipment so I can verify the info I've got on them matches what's on the actual cards.
Once I've verified the info, my plan is to post a single .zip file that contains all the different accessories for everything in Shattered Timelines so that you don't have to re-download all the other stuff to get at the new stuff. At some point in the future, I'll merge the ST stuff in with the rest of the normal .zip files.
Penny sleeve-sized boxes have been added to the group of Shattered Timelines card boxes on my site, so if you're a penny sleeve type of person, you can head over there and start printing, cutting, folding, and gluing.
Small update to the Shattered Timelines card boxes on my site - once I'd printed them all out and put them together, I decided I didn't like the way the Scholar's box looked (his picture wasn't balanced well on the front of the box). So I adjusted his box so he's more centered. I also decided that the logos on the tops of the boxes would look better if they were more centered, so I adjusted those too.
If you've already printed the boxes, these changes are not that big of a deal. I'll probably re-print the Scholar's box but leave the others as they were. But since it wasn't perfect, I figured I should make the changes for anyone who comes along later.
Just stumbled on this thread. Spiff, you rock! We haven't tried any of the print and play accessories yet, but the compiled PDFs alone are incredible. THANK YOU FOR THIS!
An actual user of the quarter counters! Let me know if I should put them back on the site, or if I should post my v2 experiment that improved on the quarter counters, but not by enough to make me use them in my own games.
