The Suspense is killing me!! Paul/Chris can you pleeeasse give us a little tad bit of info? I'm not asking for much, just scraps. pleeease
I think the soonest we'll hear anything is when/if they do a Kickstarter for Vengeance. If they need one that is.
But any clue right now would be sweet. All we have is speculations for now, like in Foote's Mainstay thread and my own speculation generator thread... :/
They won't be doing a kikstarter for Vengeance. They've said that a few times now. The playtesters don't know their backstory yet, either, just the mechanics. Which, I assure you, will be awesome when we're done with them.
Stupid ninjas.
There won’t be a Vengeance KS or a KS for any other SotM product.
I'll tell you this: There ARE Heroes in Vengeance. That's right! Not just one hero! There are multiple heroes in Vengeance!
Information!
Scraps you say? Well, I for one, was extremely surprised to see [Redacted] as a significant figure. >G hides their clues and masks their forshadowing quite well. And so do I.
Hmm.. you all sound like henchmen for Amanda Twain (aka Miss Information) trying to befuddle us and throw us off our game so that we slip up ! well we've left enough clues and now we're on to you! :-P
but, yeah, i really want information/teasers too! but i am trying to be patient with the hopes that around august we'll start seeing teasers when things are more finalized and starting production, etc....
I'm going to take this as a clue that at least one of the hero decks contain more than 1 hero.
This intrigues me far more than it probably should…
I was mainly going for sass, but I am all for rampant speculation.
(emphasis added in quote by me)
That confirms it, one of the heroes is a copycat/mimic! a la mystique. she has ongoing cards that (edit: erasing what i wrote here as a joke because i remembered that there is a 'no concept suggestion' policy and didn't want something to get construed incorrectly since it is a game mechanic that might actually work as opposed to my next joke that is just way too tongue-in-cheek…). Furthermore, the secret environment is called "PAX" where it's a convention and the envrionment targets are all bystander mobs of people waiting in line to play "this awesome coop superhero card game"
PAX POX!!!!
Met with PWatson in London again today and played some Sentinels...and as he's a playtester he's got all the Vengeance stuff...so I got to play with the new heroes. Had a good time playing [REDACTED] against Gloomweaver. I was actually responsible for destroying all three of his Relics, two of which were dealt with using [REDACTED] which was certainly satisfying. It was also cool to see who [REDACTED] is...oh yeah, and [REDACTED]. Some of the new heroes' mechanics are very cool. [REDACTED] apparently needs some more tweaking and stuff but hopefully will be cool when finished (though I'm not entirely sure what I think of the [REDACTED] mechanic that character uses). And the [REDACTED] are still in the process of being sorted out, but that's what playtesting is for, right? :D
There also wasn't much artwork on most of the cards just yet, so it'll be cool to see that once it's done. Gives the cards much more personality rather than them just being black-and-white bits of paper with text on :). I liked the look of [REDACTED] at first sight, though :).
Wow, and somehow there actually was too much info in that post. Haha!!!
It really is a cool expansion. I think I have new fav heroes.
Oh, and [Redacted]. (I've waited far too long to use one of those.)
Was that at London on Board, or elsewhere? Now that my other commitments have disappeared, I should probably attempt to go to one of those...
It was. Ameena, her partner, Matchstickman, a non-forumite and I arrange for a SotM day once a month or so. If you make it to a weekday meet up, I'll probably be there with Sentinels.
I was also there, it was at London on Board. I don't know if Paul brings down all his Sentinels stuff each week, might be best to ask him before you go trundling on down there on the off chance.
Also, I played as [REDACTED]. I've always wanted to say that, and now I can!
EDIT: Damn you Paul! You snuck in like the ninja you are!
So, I'm guessing that the most likely candidates for new heroes are:
- The fifth Prime Warden
- Kismet's nemesis (which I suspect will have a gambling mechanic, or be more random than other decks)
- The Lobo-looking guy in the domino mask getting gut punched by Iron Legacy
- Mainstay (whoever that is)
- La Capitan's nemesis (for whom there is a compelling theory that he is named Mainstay, and has the art of the guy getting punched by IL)
- Miss Information's nemesis (captain bracket?)
- The giant alien woman from one of the Dreamer's cards
Any more news on the new heroes? I'm scouring the forums for info. gaaaah!!
Nope - sorry.
I'm hoping >G does some intros on their site and/or here on the forums, kinda like they did for the original set, but they're still recovering from PAX Australia so we'll give them some time to breath.
