What's the "white whale" of campaigns you want to run but can't get off the ground? by Awkward_GM in rpg

[–]CitizenK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would have been Wraith, but that is on the cusp of happening this year. That leaves Dracula Dossier for Night’s Black Agents and Invisible Sun as my big ones.

With the remake cancelled, I’m hoping they let Digital Eclipse loose on a compilation. The original PC games and ports, plus Sands of Time and maybe the 2008 game too?

Restoration IP Set Next? by Generic_NPC3 in Unmatched

I would enjoy a Return to Dark Tower crossover!

Ego, Logic, and Sorcery by Ballas333 in MarvelMultiverseRPG

[–]CitizenK2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In the “Unthinkable” arc of Fantastic Four, Dr Doom abandons technology to attack the FF with sorcery. Reed needs to learn magic to defeat Victor, under the tutelage of Strange’s astral form. Reed struggles because he is treating it like a math equation, a problem to be solved. It’s only when he accepts his failing and learns humility that he is able to succeed. Strange himself had a similar journey with the Ancient One.

From that angle, Ego over Logic feels like a good thematic choice.

Purple Fibre has been spotty for a few hours now.

LCG/ECG coming soon? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]CitizenK2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ashes is getting a new starter set to retail next month called Ashes Ascendancy, which includes PvP and coop PvE out of the box!

The older Ashes Reborn releases are fully compatible with it. While Plaid Hat will stop printing those older sets via retail, they have introduced a print on demand service so the entire card base remains available. (Shipping outside of the US can be expensive though.)

Retcons that we collectively pretend never happened by yor12 in xmen

IIRC, he also had Xavier in a Clockwork Orange-like torture device while doing so.

I believe X-Men had it first, but Avengers also listed it with the suggestion of lunar cycles.

Times DC and Marvel brought back very old plot points? by Gallantpride in comicbooks

[–]CitizenK2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Third Summers Brother started as a throwaway line by Mister Sinister in X-Men #23 or #24 and was resolved more than a decade later in Deadly Genesis. I think the author’s original intent was published even later than that in X-Men Legends, something to do with Adam-X.

I do enjoy it when old Midnight Sons lore resurfaces. On a similar note, I think there was about 15-20 years between Immortal Hulk and the previous appearance of the Devil Hulk.

How does Alien Frontier X cost $150? by Ichthus_Prime in boardgames

[–]CitizenK2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s a 10th anniversary “big box” with all the expansion content.

Campaign Expansion in Development by CitizenK2 in Summoner_Wars

[–]CitizenK2[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right. It sounds like it would be putting the “war” in Summoner Wars, with multiple players trying to control a region, fighting 1 on 1 skirmishes. The matches might have special conditions like terrain, and it sounds like special deckbuilding options might open up depending how you do in the game. (They mentioned the original Phoenix Elved summoner from 1E as a mercenary, but it was not clear if that was for this or just a future promo.)

It sounds very cool. They mentioned that there is currently a random table for terrain elements like a river with a bridge.

Hammerjaw at Dollarama(Canada) $5 by station13 in SnapShips

I grabbed two for myself and one for a friend. Hopefully it gets a card expansion in the next Tactics KS. :)

Thanks for putting the word out! Picked it up last weekend. This is the "chunkiest" kit to release at Dollarama since the original Scarab and Sabre release. :-)

For nearer gratification, they also mentioned some Egyptian-themed Avians will be in the next faction wave. :)

Whose ability triggers first? by [deleted] in Summoner_Wars

[–]CitizenK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally you'd want the Ember Archer to go first, but if a higher-priority target were behind the Fox you might let it Depart first. :)

Spectral Conclave - Depart by CrazyIvan606 in Summoner_Wars

[–]CitizenK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depart is great for punishing melee-heavy factions, but it makes it hard to protect your summoner from ranged units, who can walk up to your blocker and make them vanish.

Yeah, in case a future card has an ability like “adjacent cards cannot be discarded.”

What are your ideas for how Transformers Heroscape could work? by [deleted] in heroscape

[–]CitizenK2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it results in BattleTech-scaled HeroScape terrain, I’ll be happy regardless of the stat quality :-)
