Man. There's a game this Monday where they are taking on the old school Galactus scenario, but making it a sealed using old-rear end Origins boosters. I can see the appeal of that, but I don't know if I want to drive 25 minutes for that.

Leader, Abomination, A-Bomb, and Samson are gamma-irradiated. Thorr and Wolverage (along with Hulkpool, Hulkmariner, Hulklops, Winter Hulk, and Icehulk) are Hulked-Out Heroes. Hulkling is not a irradiated Hulk, I think. ManiacClown posted:There's also arguably Skaar, though that's probably more purely genetic than from direct irradiation. Lyra's in the same boat. Yeah, that's true - Skaar was never exposed to the radiation. Same for Lyra - but that discounts Maestro.

I'd argue Skaar's genetics would be very different if his father wasn't gamma-irradiated, so Skaar would count. Also, I think Red Hulk and Red She-Hulk (and Red Leader, I think) were not gamma-irradiated - their transformation was through some other process that the Intelligencia cooked up.

I'd forgotten the specifics, I just knew it was kinda different... what with being all red and all, but it's gamma plus MODOK experimentation and such. Hulka Hulka Burnin' Love. One day, maybe we'll get The Harpy, which was the first time Betty Ross was transformed by MODOK and gamma radiation into a monster - a green bird lady.

Our usual tournament got canceled today, and with lower-than-average turnout expected, I decided to run a Royal Rumble scenario that I'd been kicking around. 600 points, no figures over 150, must have 6 figures. No figures were considered friendly, even if they were controlled by the same person. We ended up with 5 players, which got us the perfect 30-competitor field. I wanted to keep participants and entry order a secret until someone entered, so everybody wrote down their 6 figures and then drew numbers for their entry order. Everything took place inside the ring of the Sporting Arena map, of course. Figures acted in order of entry, highest number first, and once everybody had a chance to act, the next figure entered, being placed adjacent to the ropes. Eliminations happened on KO, or if your knock back would take you over the ropes and you rolled under your click number on 2d6. This thing was a freaking blast. A Dire Wraith Queen ruled the early part of the match, entering at number 6 and KOing Spider-Man, Hogun and a Hulk to gain a slew of extra powers. She was the ironman, lasting into the twenties before finally being eliminated. Dr. Stark and Peace Machine both earned a lot of ire for their abilities that nerfed the whole ring, but the true Andre spot fell to Black Lantern Flash, who saw an alliance of five other figures form to eliminate him. Seven(?!) failed Hypersonic break-away rolls did him no favors, and he eventually got taken out by the alliance. Another highlight was the M-113 Creature getting the Bushwacker spot, entering the ring and immediately getting Quaked by Hulkpool, rolling a 2 on his check to stay in the ring, and tumbling over the top rope in seconds. In the end, it comes as no surprise that Skurge, he who stood alone on the top rope and faced down twenty-nine other competitors, had the last laugh.

Skurge showed up at #20, I believe, and immediately dropped his Last Stand. He drew a lot of focus early, but then people saw all the healing that Flash, God of Death was doing, and that took the heat off from him. He was down to click 5 or 6, by the end, but nobody could survive adjacent to him for long, and there wasn't a whole lot of ranged options available, with the ring so full. Only time that all the figures in the ring were controlled by the same person was for the final 2, when Skurge duked it out with Odin. If it had happened earlier, well, even though the Rumble is everyone for themselves, strange alliances do crop up. Nobody was obligated to attack their own guys, but it did happen a couple times with Quake or Poison, and the Dire Wraith Queen was considering killing an allied Dale Suderman to gain his powers.

I’m running our event tomorrow and then immediately going to the Royal Rumbe afterwards. I wanted to do a royal rumble scenario and holy poo poo that one sounds awesome but I went with a different wrestling trope. “By gawd that’s _______’s music!” 500 points. All ranges are 0. Hypersonic speed will be a full move charge. All effects with a min range will have a range of 1 instead of their normal minimum. Colossal Retaliations have been banned from ringside. No resources or ID’s. Use of the boxing ring is encouraged but not mandatory. Once per game at a random time during the round announced by the judge you will be able to add up to 200 points of reinforcements to your team. It can be one figure or a bunch of figures. If your team is KO’d prior to this announcement you can immediately bring in your reinforcements.

I'm going to steal some of these wrestling events for sometime soon because gently caress I miss our wrestling/clix league. We had a 600 point resources allowed event the other week, I used Klingons and a Red Lantern battery; one of each of the Away Team Klingons except for the named Uncommon dude (the "Enterprise is a garbage ship" guy and a Bekk, who I had on the sidelines) plus the Butcher-possessed Neg'Var, basically the only Klingon ship from Tactics that wasn't outright terrible. I don't recall the specific play-by-plays but basically I'd dole out constructs, snipe with Neg'Var, then abuse the hell out of Empower and the Captain with HSS. The traits of the Commander and Captain are absurd and makes a decent team into a self-healing push battery, especially when I would roll a 10 on a push to Charge/Blades with a Lt, then roll to heal the push damage and remove both tokens. Good dice make that team a nightmare, and I never even made an attack with Kor to use his plot points. Kang's Barrier was ridiculously useful to shut down Tyrant in one round and M10 Iron man in another. The battery slowed the team down a ton though so I'm eager to try them on their own merits and see how quickly they can tear through opposing forces.

I've never paid attention to Tactics before. Romulans were far and away the best Tactics ships; lots of Stealth and modifiying powers, their TA is budget Precision Strike before that power even existed, and most of their ships have good to amazing stats for the points. Supplementing an away team, or vice versa, would only improve an already amazing force. The Federation gets shafted on air support though, as the away team figures have the Starfleet Keyword and the ships have Federation so you can't make an actual themed team. That said, the Federation ships have a wide variety of quality options and make the second best force to use in regular clix matches after Romulans. I wish the Borg and Dominion were better than they are but there's a lot of awkward dial design and flagging values on most of those ships that keep them from seeing their full potential.

TMT Maestro at full with enchanted crowbar, Ball and Chain, and Bloodaxe as his trophies 1 Stone man of Saturn at 100 7 Stone Men of Saturn at 20 Reinforcements were 2 100 point stone men. The best highlight was in round 1 when the Marvel Knights had Superman, God of Strength's music hit and he went after my weenies. Charged into the middle of them on a push and crit missed. They then proceeded to tear him apart over 2 rounds. The stone men really ruled this event with the big guys getting defenses of "Good Luck" and the little guys also hitting like Mac Trucks. Event was won by Granny and the Female Furies, representing GLOW as per their player. They also had Superman as their backup which won them their final game against a team of lots of poison and penetrating poison.

Morand posted:Anyone do a pre release of Xavier yet? Curious how the set plays I was supposed to run ours tonight, but Alliance didn't bother shipping our product. Had a lot of unhappy players, and we had to reschedule for next week. On the plus side, our store bought us all free pizza to apologize, because our store rocks. And, since not many people had brought figures, we did a Grab Box Battle. If your store is anything like ours, you've got a big box of extras that anybody can just take. For a Grab Box Battle, we kind of do it up game show style. Set up a snake draft order, and then each player has 45 seconds per point category to find a figure in the 150+, 101-150, 51-100 and 1-50 point ranges. The four figures that you grab are your team, but at the end of each round, the loser gets to choose one of those point categories and trade that figure with their opponent. First round, I did pretty well with Black Orchid, Dark Deadpool, Owlman and Kalibak. My opponent was happy with his team, so when I beat him he traded his Dark Deadpool for mine. Round two looked scary, against three Hypersonic figures, headed up with Dark World Kurse, but dice went my way and I didn't lose anyone... but when it was over, my opponent traded his Max Mercury for my Owlman, which is NOT a good exchange. Lacking Owlman, I got stomped in the final round by a squad of three Avengers and Major Force. A disappointing night, but my players made the best of it, and hopefully we'll have our X-Men here in time for some battle royales on Saturday.

Did Battle Royales with Xavier's School today. It's an interesting set for them... kind of slow-going, since you have to constantly be double-checking to see which characters get bonuses when rolling 5s, or attacking first, or whatever. Had enough product to play a couple and still have enough for our proper tournament on Thursday. First time out, I ran with Penance, Skin, Goldballs, rare Magick, and an X-Student on the Support line. Only truly impressive thing that got pulled was a chase Mr. Sinister, although we did pull two ID cards. After some quick jockeying for position, the battle was well and truly joined. Skin proved to be quite useful, with his 2-square Plasticity providing excellent board control against most figures, although Sinister could teleport out of it, and Icarus's IM: Characters while Charging made him sad. Goldballs put in a surprising amount of work, pumping out damage, giving attack and defense penalties, and destroying walls while the Student kept him healed up. Pretty much just a slobberknocker with no real surprising happenings. I took first, and was able to walk away with Sinister and both ID cards. At another table, it was learned that Dust pretty much dominates in a battle royale environment. She picked up something like 6 KOs by herself, without having to roll dice. Second one that I got to play in, I ended up with All-New Wolverine, Synch, Moira MacTaggart, uncommon Iceman, and Anole. Laura (and more specifically, Jonathan) was just a terror. Right off the bat, she ran out, dropped Jonathan, who gutted SR Emma in one shot. The pair of them would go on to just shred whoever they looked at, without ever taking a click. With Synch being able to copy Perplex, I had three available, plus Iceman handing out +1 defense if he hit, and an Outwit from Moira, this was pretty much a cakewalk. Highlight of the game had to be common Beast running up to punch Synch, dropping two 5s for +2 damage, and taking him from top-dial to dead in one shot. Even a crit wouldn't have done that, only a pair of 5s. Overall pulls were pretty good. Out of 16 boosters, we saw 6 super rares, 2 chases, a prime, and 3 ID cards (all students).

I did a pre-release and pulled nothing great. Ended up running an X-Men/All New X-Men Team of Kitty Angel Cyclops x 2 Beast Iceman The various first class traits helped a bunch in the first 2 rounds, until I ran into a SR Magik/Cypher/Leech/Banshee team in round 3. She just got in my face and made all her rolls and if I hurt her too much she'd just new mutants right back to invincible.

Did my pre-release last night, we opted for three boosters and 400 point teams. I ran with chase Iceman, Moira, first class Angel, an X-Student on TK, and X-Factor Cyke and Beast. First round I had problems because we played on the Tholian Web Star Trek map and it took me three turns to kill Darwin after he based Iceman and a bunch of others. It was a tie until last action was called and the guy rolled double 5s with his Xfactor Cyke to blast Angel off the face of the earth. Round 2 he had title Prof and sat in his starting area gathering tokens and healing with x-Men, I said gently caress that noise and TK bombed Iceman out to blast Prof for 5, then easily mopped up with the bonus damage from KOing him. Those clones make excellent attacks when they're tagging people for 3 a piece. Round 3 vs a deadly team of prime Emma, Gateway, first class and Xfactor Cyke, Mindee, and rare Prof. Again I buffed Iceman to ensure Xavier died on turn two, but he had the high ground and made work of my Cyke. It was a long back and forth but the support I had for Iceman and lots of good Leaderships from Moira ensured Bobby was turning giant and blasting someone every turn. Eventually I whittled down his team to last click Mindee, who managed to kill Beast, Angel, and Moira before I put her down. This set was fun sealed but not the best time I've ever had. There's a lot of different traits on similar figures and people we're constantly confused about who did what. I'm more excited for the constructed teams I have planned, and for X-Men ID cards.

I was allowed to create the scenario for tomorrow's game, so I thought I'd celebrate the release of Black Panther because I'm crazy geeked about it. I've been loving the music choices in the trailers, so here's the game: 400 point team based on a song by a black artist. I've been brainstorming quite a bit. My favorite dumb idea is to do Whitney Houston's "My Name Is Not Susan" and play a team of characters that are not named Susan, but chances are I'll do that anyway, so I'm going to make that a bonus. My leading choice right now is "Say It Loud (I'm Black And I''m Proud)" by James Brown, and playing Muhammad Ali and prominent black superheroes, just to get into the spirit of it, and I feel I have to play Ali. My girlfriend is considering "Single Ladies" and using women with Lantern rings on it, or "Word Up" with characters who have words on their sculpts, like the TV Batman villains and Onomatopeia and Dr. Bong and probably some Deadpool Word Balloon characters. If you wanted to use Ice-T's "Colors," who would you put on that team besides Crazy Quilt, Rainbow Raider and Unicorn Deadpool? What teams would you consider? Other thoughts: STOP click figs for "2 Legit 2 Quit." Characters who start with G for "Nothin' But A G Thing." Heroes named John for "Johnny Be Good."

Steve Vader posted:Other thoughts: STOP click figs for "2 Legit 2 Quit." Make it characters who have exactly two stop clicks. Alternately, if it's Golden you could do White Lanterns. Tonight was 300 Modern. When it's 300 Modern I forget what fucks are much less how to give them because I know I'm going to see meta-rear end bullshit. I ran WI#002 Iron Man, WI#022 Dr. Stark, and TMT#018 Thor along with the Enchanted Crowbar because I thought the format was the XXS prerelease but that was last weekend. As such, I built a team in 5 minutes because I was going to get my rear end handed to me anyway. That happened. Next week is 800 Golden Age Limited. We've adopted the ROC format definitions, with limited meaning the following aren't allowed:
pre:BM100 Nightwing and Batgirl 176 SOG103 Batman and Nightwing 176 JL038 Batman and Robin 138 DKR021 Lt. Gordon 68 AA006 Gotham City Detective 27 AA006 Gotham City Detective 27 AA006 Gotham City Detective 27 AN049 Green Lantern 145 ATA GCPD 8 8 points of something for filler Sideline: a shitload of Split options, including DKR#100 Batman For the 1,800-point Golden Age Limited the week after, that's an even better question. I'm entertaining an Asgardian team with Avengers Prime. Beyond that, I don't know. I could try again to run Hulks but I know that with Outwit and range I'd go down faster than a stereotypical prom date. Here's what I've come up with for Asgardians. If I do this I'll have to think about Split options for AP. pre:CW060 Avengers Prime 400 FI012 Heimdall 169 FI005 Valkyrie 130 AVM022 Destroyer 250 TMT059 Fandral 60 w/Dueling Sword TMT031 Hogun 90 w/Knobbed Mace TMT029A Executioner 120 w/Bloodaxe TMT062 Thunderstrike 115 TMT009 Valkyrie 45 TMT009 Valkyrie 45 TMT009 Valkyrie 45 HA033 Sif 93 TDW013 Loki 150 ATA By Odin's Beard 70 18 points of I don't even know what

I ran my venue's sealed today, and as expected Kid Gladiator with a little support is unstoppable. He had two Perplexes and TK backing him up and the guy never lost a figure, he could one-hit KO most everything and easily got +3 stats all three rounds. Every other game was close or evenly matched, but KG absolutely ruins the balance of sealed. On the upside, I pulled chase Jean which makes me happy, except having her means now I've gotta track down a bunch of the UXM chases and their prices all shot up in the last month. I should've grabbed them last year when they were $20 a pop except Magneto.

I just thought of a gloriously insane idea for the 1,800-pointer. Last night I started thinking of 1,800 points of Superman. On my drive to work I realized that the Superman Ally TA now gives Improved Targeting: Hindering instead of mimicking it. I'd have to lose out on a Kryptonian theme, but then I'd get to use V Icons Superman (maybe even two!) if I use DP#056 Kingpin to give any of them who use ranged HSS from next to him Precision Strike, Sharpshooter, and RCE. I'm sure I'd get my rear end handed to me, but damned if that team wouldn't hit like a truck before it got Outwitted to death.

I have an event Sunday. "Do you have that in my size?" 500 points, must have a figure who is tiny, giant, or colossal. Judge clarified that it doesn't need to be on the base and can be acquired via Special Power. What are some fun tiny/giant/colossal pieces you've run? I thought about doing my Bat-Knights and KC batman but that leaves a 50 point hole I can't fill with KC Bat Fams.

It's less thematic, but still fits the 'armored future Batman' role. Toss Mjolnir on him, and he's doing close attacks from 6 away while being triple-Empowered by the knights. As for size shenanigans, there's a lot of good stuff out there. I've actually got a similar event coming up on Saturday; 700 points, must have at least one colossal, so I'm going with 'Attack of the 50-foot women'. Colossal Ms. Marvel, Giganta, and Elasti-Girl all at full, Queen of Fables, Stature, and then Skyscraper Wonder Woman at her lowest points. Probably won't be the greatest team, but I've been wanting to run it for a while, and this event is the perfect time.

Speaking of giants... There's a 600 point game this weekend, Modern Age, which I hate because I tend to like to play obscure teams that spread out over multiple sets and thus can't use everybody all the time and I hate it because I hate it. We get bonus points per kill for named theme teams. I'm just dumb enough to want to run Ymir at 550 points and then... there are no Asgardians 50 points or less... um... huh. Maybe I'll equip Proteus or something?

The AoU Rita Yellowjacket is a really useful piece who can go tiny, and fits on a lot of teams. Elasti-Girl is a ton of fun, but she was mentioned. Great Eagle is a giant who doesn't count against theme. CWOP Goliath is a cheap-ish giant who can do a ton of damage. Computo is surprisingly effective, and really annoys your opponent.

The judge put out four leftover con LEs (Alejandra Ghost Rider, Dr. Nemesis, Gotham by Gaslight Batman, and Doop) and said first could pick two and the other two got one each. True to form, the guy who always plays OP kit Dormammu, OP kit Dr. Strange, Tiamat, and Mr. Mxyzptlk did so, adding R Destiny for extra prob because due to format limitations he couldn't use Splitlip and the Book of the Skull, which is what he always does in normal Golden Age. He says it's hard to build an effective team because it's hard for him to learn the strategies, so he runs what he understands how to use. He won because my dice were cold and the other guy's (running an X-Men theme) weren't a lot better. I at least came in second and got Alejandra, plus I fulfilled my goal of having the Great Eagle blast someone with the Laser Turret, KOing an X-Student! Between Mr. Always-runs-the-same-bullshit and the jank crew it's about the moral victories for me these days, so I got that. Next week for the same format but at 1,800 points (action total of 8), I think instead of the teams I thought of where I'd run either all Superman (with the Kryptonian keyword) using the Red Sun Sons ATA to protect their defenses from Outwit or a shitload of versions of Superman with DP#059 Kingpin— who because they changed the Superman Ally TA to actually give IT: Hindering would beef them up obscenely— I may run a Mystical theme and run the three Trinity of Sin characters to shut down his Prob. Limited bans Felix Faust, so I can't use him if I do. Maybe something like this? I'd be using some of his own bullshit against him while keeping him from being able to use his Prob without having to take tokens for it, plus I'd finally get to use Malekith. pre:WK#D-006 Pandora 100 WK#D-007 Phantom 200 Stranger WK#D-008 Question 100 YGO2#018 Dark Magician 140 Girl IM#006 Powerslave 175 SF#017 Dhalsim 90 WK#M15-010 Dormammu 300 WK#M15-011 Dr. Strange 150 TDW#004 Malekith 350 AN#049 Green Lantern 145 FI#003 Monkey King 45 TMT#S019 Bladed Hammer 4

Morand posted:What are some fun tiny/giant/colossal pieces you've run? I thought about doing my Bat-Knights and KC batman but that leaves a 50 point hole I can't fill with KC Bat Fams. I really wish the Flock of Bats had the Batman Family keyword, but I guess I understand why they don't. Maybe at least give them the 'they don't break theme as long as you have someone named 'Batman' on your force'.
