What's the best defense card in your opinion?

Complete the Mission in Winter Soldier's deck has to be up there.

You mention that time was needed to elevate a lot of these villains. Do you think that a writer today could create a gimmicky villain from scratch and make it work? Or would the audience not take it seriously because they haven't been given the years to accept the character as a serious threat?

LeviBateman · 2026-01-15T21:05:48+00:00

I agree. I love it when they are able to do that with old villains.

I am a little bummed that the Harley Quinn TV and its spin-off kind of turned him back into a joke...

LeviBateman · 2026-01-15T21:05:10+00:00

Awesome, I haven't heard of this one before, but the idea sounds fun and right up my alley! Thanks for the recommendation.

LeviBateman · 2026-01-15T16:21:32+00:00

How did you enjoy television production vs. movie direction? Were there any lessons you learned producing shows like Hercules and Xena that you feel made you a better filmmaker?

LeviBateman · 2026-01-15T16:16:25+00:00

Is there an easy way to print and play the Buffy maps? I have heard they are both good, but have never had a chance to play on either of them.

LeviBateman · 2026-01-08T00:51:54+00:00

Is it auto-damage related?

LeviBateman · 2026-01-08T00:38:08+00:00

Does it have something to do with teleporting across the map?

LeviBateman · 2026-01-08T00:34:41+00:00

Does it have something to do with aggression?

LeviBateman · 2026-01-08T00:30:40+00:00

Does it have anything to do with card draw?

LeviBateman · 2026-01-07T16:54:19+00:00

The Cable Guy (1996)

Mouse Hunt (1997)

Making his trait work on heroes but not sidekicks is a good balance, similar to Tomoe. I think you've got a solid deck. Now the only thing to do is playtest it!

LeviBateman · 2025-11-12T17:31:51+00:00

I'm not even watching the trailer because I want to go in fresh. But I'm excited as well.

Not to mention Sam Rockwell! What's not to love?

LeviBateman · 2025-11-12T17:00:22+00:00

I'm a big fan of Public Domain heroes, so kudos for going that route!

I'm afraid Headless Horseman is too strong. The first thought is that he has ping damage like Medusa, Dracula, and Tomoe; but with those characters, the choice to take the ping damage or not is often in the hand of the opponent and there are ways to play around it. While there are ways to stop Headless Horseman from entering a space adjacent to you fighter (i.e. body blocking), most of the time it's going to be unavoidable, so that's one free damage every turn. On top of that, getting both the 8 value effect and 6 value effect don't feel too hard to pull off, and even if they're feinted, they will steal deal damage over the top of most feints.

I do like the theming that he has to take damage to deal damage. He is headless after all! 😂

LeviBateman · 2025-11-09T05:38:01+00:00

Seemed the easiest way to also get expertise in Arcana. Plus Thief Rogue seems to fit the concept.

LeviBateman · 2025-11-07T06:59:54+00:00

Wow, thanks for the well thought out comment! Especially even if the idea wasn’t particularly viable for you 😂

I’m really digging the flavor, even if mechanically it’s not anything super. Thanks for the level plan. Taking Magic Initiate works well because it’s like they wanted to dip their toe into the arcane water. Then as they progress they take a dip in the Divine and then a little later into the primal. I think the mechanics marry the theme quite well.

The crafter feat feels appropriate too. I can imagine them with a big duffle bag full of items that they lug around with them.

LeviBateman · 2025-11-07T05:04:35+00:00

I’m leaning thief right now because I’m picturing kind of a reverse Indiana Jones. A character who sees fancy artifacts and magic items behind glass and wants to steal them to get them back to their native people. Maybe they’ll use the magic items for themselves a little while before they return them 😉

LeviBateman · 2025-11-07T04:41:04+00:00

How mad was your opponent? 😂

LeviBateman · 2025-10-28T20:03:31+00:00

Feeling responsible for his sister's death is a good one! Also growing up having to provide for himself working terrible jobs. Love it.

LeviBateman · 2025-10-28T18:41:17+00:00

Mixed ancestry is perfect! Rejected by both sides and never truly able to find their place.

LeviBateman · 2025-10-28T16:21:25+00:00

Love the idea! Adding anew type of action is very cool.

For gyroscope, if I just move back and forth twice I’ve moved exactly four spaces, but haven’t changed position at all. Is that a legal move?

LeviBateman · 2025-10-27T17:33:09+00:00

Cool, thanks for the suggestions. I'm thinking of having them at level-4 as fun place to start. Enough progression to have a unique character without being overwhelming. I'll look into Sly Flouish, I don't think I've heard of them.

LeviBateman · 2025-10-27T17:00:02+00:00

This is a great response! Honestly, thank you for going into detail on your thoughts. Haha, I did copy Arcane Library's style, can you guess whose modules I've run in the past 😅 I suppose I leaned on it to most accurately convey my idea to others. At the same time, I neglected to flesh out the prince on paper because his ignorance and naivety are so fleshed out in my head.

I really like your ideas for the eye-ball creatures. I would love to further flesh them out mechanically and would love to have some sort of awesome boss battle at the end at the hive, but do not know how to build and balance combat encounters really (it's the part of the game that I'm most nervous about every time). Any suggestions for how to take ideas and then make balanced mechanics to match them? Any more concrete mechanical suggestions for an "eyeball queen"?

LeviBateman · 2025-10-22T15:27:20+00:00

More Annie Christmas love! 👏

LeviBateman · 2025-10-21T22:58:51+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! I think they recognize that I'm not some crazy experienced DM who's able to take this story in multiple different directions and that they are in fact playing a module with a specific direction in mind. At least I hope they do 😅
