Is there a directory of those sheets somewhere? Really interested in making something like that to throw into my physical set.

I want to try this out before I drop cash. How do I demo the game?
Like I mentioned above, this link here will take you to a free PNP Demo you can play with your friends.

But you're a goon, so you don't have friends. We can still help! The SA BattleCON community is almost constantly running Play By Post games. Just ask in the thread if someone wants to play a game, and you'll find an opponent and a moderator in no time. :frogsiren: And if you decide you want to moderate a game, you can check out our goon-made PBP aids here! :frogsiren:

What I did was download the proper sheets, so the character, bases, and spaces, upload everything I need to an imgur album, and then bookmark that album. Not that bad when all is said and done.

If you like the sheets looking good, I also update the sheets from time to time - usually when someone runs a match with a character and I realize the assets I made are massively ugly, like the old cards I had for Iri's Forms. If anyone cares, I could put up an update log in the folder?

Could I get a link to that? Google Drive doesn't work for me, so I've been copying it over to Imgur as well. (here , if people wanted it.)

You know what the most amazing part of BattleCON online will be?

It's going to be rules-enforced!. That means they might actually be competently codifying the rules! We'll have a universal reference as to how everything works!

Assuming it's all implemented correctly.

Got a couple more games in today. Tanis vs Clive, Karin vs Pendros, Tanis vs Adjenna.

Tanis vs Adjenna is so weird. Other player was in a weird situation and ended up getting killed after being clashed out of options because he realllly didn't want to get hit by a 7-damage Shot, managed to deal 14 damage in two turns somehow...

BattleCON Online info from Gen Con.

Some important points:
  • Designed for multiple platforms, including Steam for PC/Mac, Browser-based, iOS, Android, etc.
  • BCO will work on a League of Legends-style monetization system. There will be a rotating selection of "free characters" at any given time, and you can pay money to "unlock" a given character permanently. (KS backers will get all launch characters unlocked.)
  • I've mentioned it before, but there will be new online-only characters, who will use mechanics that would be difficult to track in tabletop form. (Characters who permanently alter their cards, for example.)
  • New "Turbo BattleCON" variant, designed for async or weak connections. Turbo BattleCON moves all decision making to the Set Pair and Ante step, so that you don't have to wait for the other player as much. Turbo has no post-reveal decisions--so Drive is always Advance 2, Burst is always Retreat 2, et cetera. Dash is replaced by Guard (Stun Immunity, can only take 1 damage this turn). Ante is double blind, rather than the see-or-pass method used in "Classic" BattleCON.
  • New card frames designed for screen readability. Stun Guard is moved from text box to stat line with range/pow/pri. (It's the number in green.)
  • Kickstarter exclusives are all cosmetics--alternate art and costumes, et cetera.

The demo at gencon looked very Hearthstone-y in terms of graphic design, which is fine because that's what people are basically programmed to expect from an online card game at this point.

So for people like me who are going to own the entirety of BattleCon in a massive like >1 cubic foot wooden chest, I'm looking to acquire or make something that will allow me to carry all the cards necessary to play the game for like 8 characters, well-organized. My tuckboxes don't fit into those cardboard trading card boxes, so I'm wondering what to do here.

I might just unsleeve all my cards and stick them all in poker tuckboxes, possibly making custom tuckboxes. Thoughts on what should go on a poker-size tuckbox without getting them custom for each character?

You say this, and all I can imagine is Yorick breaking the server every time a new character is released.

Ordered those Go7 inserts since they said the new potential solution was a chest of some sort and it'll use the same trays. I have a hobby lobby case sitting around that I can use anyways, the game in it can be shifted easily. Gotta figure out how best to lay this out - and if it doesn't get used for battlecon I'll repurpose it for something else.

Hi all! I made more pixel assets to increase readability in matches (and to make things look cooler). Everything's uploaded to the Google Drive, including blown-up official sprites for every character, but here's a summary.

Tokens and counters, i.e. things that don't go directly on the board:


If you want to use the board images I use, here's the markers that do go directly on the board, as well as a couple alternate-form character sprites that don't already exist (Juto, base sprites edited for clone Arec, Gaspar and Sarafina, and doggie Karin and Jager by Fabio Fontes, not by me):


I also updated the following character sheets in order to make cards easier to fit into posts / to make cards look better / not use official BattleCON card art on any card graphics: Anath, Clive, Gerard, Lesandra, Malandrax, Runika, Zaamassal.

If Runika is hit for 0 thanks to Soak or whatever, does she still lose an artifact?
Also those are hella cool.

Thanks! And yes she does. Same with On Hit effects - the attack just needs to hit, it doesn't care about whether damage was done. It's why a common opener against Runika is "hit with my absolute safest attack, deactivate Autodeflector, ohgodohgod run away from the scary fist lady"

Bonk.

The good news is we might have managed to pull together a weekly or biweekly battleCON group around here, seems like we've got at least 5 people to start off and a space to play + plenty of copies. Hopefully it stays relatively stable, let's see how it goes.

Andarel

Alright, group went down pretty well. Got 6 games in for today, including a very confused attempt at learning Oriana and a very ill-conceived mirror.

Never play Voco mirrors.

It's awful.

We tested.

Truly awful.

All I can hear is the Zoidberg ""Woop Woop Woop Woop" noise as the beat counter drags itself to 15.

A beat where someone did one damage was an eventful beat.

A beat where someone had Monster (the only style that can hit an adjacent Voco) was also pretty eventful. Thanks minimum range.

Was Magdeline nerfed in war remastered? I don't remember if she always had the 'She can't level up the first beat she has more counters than level' clause.

e: The wiki says she was changed a lot, shows what I know. Still don't remember that clause.

@ People in general: This came up yesterday so I just want to confirm, does that only apply to her Level 0 -> 1 transition or does it take effect during each level? We weren't sure and it was kinda confusing.
