Hey Andy and maniac post some teams so I can do matchups. I think worms can still PM so I’ll at least be able to communicate with him that way.

The article about the update to the Comprehensive Rules is up. The biggest change is that TTPC is going away. Well, it's either that or anyone being able to cross elevated lines, but if they do and can't ignore it their movement immediately stops.

This'll probably sound like the nitpickiest of nits to pick but losing flavour text on the standard abilities is pretty crap. Feels like more and more of the flavour of the game is going away (although I guess some of it is coming back like super strength actually being relevant again so maybe it's a wash)

I like the new card design, except for the wasted space on the back. And they finally pushed the dial to the front like they initially wanted. Can they go more than a year without major changes to the game? I'd love for things to just .. be ... for a while.

S.T.A.R.S. posted:Hey pushback damage is back, that's exciting. Yeah, I really disliked them doing away with knockback damage. They went through a phase where it seemed like they were doing everything they could to make knockback meaningless short of getting rid of it outright and I'm glad to see they've gotten away from that. It's one of the more fun aspects of the game.

I beat Maniac 75-35 in a fairly slow game. I couldn't generate any mission points but he could, he ended up with 9 off of Riddler puzzling people and then the rest of his team piling on with Perplexes, but I KO'd Velma and the Scarlet Witch while only losing Batman and the GL ring (due to an incorrect ruling, but it counts), and that was the difference. Honestly, if the game had kept going, I'd have lost on MP.

The Green Lantern Corps were victorious against the hodgepodge 395-0. Batman missed a single willpower roll the entire game, so he was able to pick and choose his targets, with atrocitus falling very early to focused fire. When people got close, the lanterns decided that their boots were made for walking as they'd generate boots to kick cats and crocodiles until they fell over. Round 2 matchups!

The Green Lantern Corps defended their Sector against the Two Man Power trip plus Batman of Andy, winning 150-35. An early shot from a boosted batman was imperv'd away by thanos, but the smoke/defend/esd kept him from landing many hits. Thanos eventually was knocked to his second stop click and dodged multiple attempts to knock him off it. Ch'p moved down, made a boot which Ko'd batman and then got back to the group with sidestep. Ch'p sadly fell after having his ESD outwitted and Darkseid perplexed his attack quite a bit. The corp made some boots which repeatedly kicked darkseid in his big dumb face. Terraxia came up and hit jessica to her first axe click. She got booted and KO'd. Thanos healed 2 off his stop click. Darkseid and Thanos perplexed down kyles defense and Thanos hit him quite hard. Darkseid tried to follow up for a charge but couldn't break away from the smoke cloud of Batman. The corps then focused fire on Darkseid and took him down as there was a minute left with hal bravely moving the team out of Thanos's range to ensure no last second shenanigans.

Game today was 400 points, just figures and standard objects - no fancy game elements or generated characters etc. I ran the Circle of Four plus the Canucklehead Wolverine #100. Hope Summers is popular at this venue. First game against Wanda Vision Hope Strange and that loving ridiculous Spider Man with the three dice. Lost a close one - couldn't get the last shot on Vision to score him. Second match against a Hellfire Gala group - newbie player made some mistakes and I pulled it out but holy poo poo that X23 is insane. Third match against both Immortal Hulk and Iron Hammer. I sent Wolvie after IH and rolled a 6 three straight times when I needed a 7, then Flurried and whiffed with a 5. Next time I hit both flurries and then found out what IH does and just about KOed myself. I did get all his support pieces though. Not enough. Fun to be able to play again though. Yay Heroclix!

I also played real life heroclix today. 400 silver age. I ran Mystery Inc and Friends All the BTU Chase Mystery Inc Figures Chase Batman with the belt Chase Robin Mystery Cards of Stakeout Planispheric Disk Chest of Demons Which Witch is which? Foul Play in Funland Round 1 versus Mystical Saturnyne with cloak Halloween constume Agatha Recruiter Strange The Wolverine who dies but comes back and has a sword Soldier Supreme at lower line with darkhold I won map but picked a very bad one that had a bunch of elevation for him to hide on as he’d do sidesteps and RS on me. Stealth prevented Saturnyne from being the biggest bitch she could but she did manage to fire some of my guys once she had a line to a not hiding scrappy. My ability to generate clue tokens was limited as well. Eventually I managed to get enough tokens for IM:elevated and run right at him and KO’d strange. With stealth defense soldier supreme tried to shoot me but missed and Saturnyne could only hit scrappy for 1 which did not KO him. I squeaked a very close 50-0 win. I should have stuck to a more indoor map but it is what it is. Round 2 versus shitbird playing politicians Mad Jim Jaspers Peace Machine with space gem? President Loki with cape Legacy KC Green Lantern with lantern ring Spider Man 76 with I think redwing Red Son Lex Luthor Some ID cards they forgot about so I don’t know what they were A superfriend A bunch of tarot A bunch of equipment on their sideline. Octopus arms? Bracelets? Reality gem I think? There might have been more? gently caress their turns were insufferable. Switch around redwing constantly and keep making GBS threads out bystanders while hiding behind barrier and just doing nothing. I was limited to creeping up in stealth slowly. Eventually the tarot revealed make the highest point dude a colossal. I chose Shaggy, they chose Spider-Man ‘76. They had one of their 5 redwing pogs try to hit Batman and miss and then outwit his stealth. Their Loki that already Ignored hindering then shot for 3. They TK’d spider-man with peace machine who now had the octopus arms. He flurried spider man and rolled blades for 6 and Batman took 1 because even though they read my cards shitbird can’t remember poo poo. Second attack missed. Velma knocked back the pog and the gang perplexed the poo poo out of it because we needed clue buffs. Fred healed batman a bunch and then the Scooby gang KO’d ‘76 who was copying Wonder Woman from I think Mad Jim but couldn’t roll any senses rolls. Shitbird then decided that KOing Batman was their biggest priority but their constantly shifting bullshit took so loving long that last action was called and 3 wasn’t enough to KO Batman. So I won 75-0 and shitbird dropped from the tournament rather than play against Saturnyne. Round 3 versus cosmic? Chase D+ Gamora with cloak SR Phoenix Force Echo The Silver Surfer who makes dawn Sidekick Franklin who TK’s This was the other team shitbird played against and managed to win 20-15. Apparently it took 3 loving ID cards to KO a sidekick. Anywho I moved up and they got aggressive. Echo copied TK and Flung out Gamora and then Franklin Flung out Surfer and they KO’d my poor Scooby. But they were in ranged force blade range and I sprung all the traps, giving surfer a -3 defense and 3 tokens on the card that lets me make friendly characters re-roll shape change. The gang went to town on surfer and KO’d him. Gamora hit willpower and hit an attack on Velma for 5. Fred healed Velma a bit and then the gang went to work on gamora. All the perplexes and all the clue tokens. I managed to max out stakeout but never had a chance to regen with anyone. Once gamora fell then Franklin and dawn went. Echo made it interesting by putting her token on shaggy and getting very defensive but the gang was able to take her down with the magic of traps. I won 400-60 I like the Scooby Gang but man they have some big issues. They’re loving slow. They can at best sidestep up with Scooby carrying one gang member and scrappy cause he’s tiny. And if they get the wrong map, or go against someone who can see through their stealth before they start getting clue tokens, it can be tough. But against a monster/mystical team they’re very good, especially when the new rules make it way easier for Fred to heal their monsters, especially Shaggy. If the common Fred wasn’t such a downgrade his passenger 4 would be a must play but they really need his defend and leadership/support.

The Justice League Avengers & Velma defeated the Red Lantern Hodgepodge 120 - 0. It was a good even game until the JLAV picked off a hiding Hawkeye and then a last minute turn kill of Killer Croc. The JLAV had no luck with Leadership rolls, which probably allowed the RLH to attempt some kind of offense, managing to hit Velma with Hawkeye's "Never Miss My Target", but the JLAV managed to correctly identify and call the Atrocitus and Dex-Starr teleport set-up being planned by the RLH, which lead to the RLH having a pretty :meh: offensive. But the rally dice was in effect tonight and the battlefield ended up with a partially flooded Gotham Museum! Good game Maniac! Onto the next round!

The Green Lantern Corp gave the detectives a mystery they could not solve 165-0. The detectives huddled around Ant-Man for big defenses until batman changed his belt to batarangs and got his attack perplexed as well. A 22 defense is not scary when the attacker has a 15 and Roll20 decided I should roll 3 straight 10's. No more Ant Man. Manhunter decided not to hide and phased out to punch Ch'p to his last click. Lots of outsidering happened to make me less scary. Hal moved some friends so batman could outwit the Shape Change on manhunter. Batman started the party with a solid hit. Then Batman made a chainsaw. Ch'p made a chainsaw, and Jessica made a boot. Chainsaw one managed a huge 6 click blades hit and chainsaw 2 managed a KO to take away the outsiders ability from his team and make my ESD matter again. Question came down to try and outwit to slow things and clearing happen. Batman hit willpower and tried to dual target question and velma. Velma sensed away and question melted. Time was called as riddler perplexed ch'p to get a mission point. I need to run this team for real, but I'm going to have to borrow quite a few constructs.

I get a lot less hyped looking at the new dials and cards than I used to for sure, but I might just be a jaded old man now. Seeing that there was a legacy card for the Ultimate Spider Man figure made me go look at when that set came out cause I think it was around then I started playing, it was 19 years ago.
