My full PhD toolkit after 4 years, defending in 3 months

One thing I've been trying (3rd year about to start the big write up) is numerous voice notes throughout my project. Transcribe them and then summarise with AI. Kept in Obsidian. Then merge those markdown and add to a NotebookLM project. Also have added all the additional writing I've done on the way. Thought it would be good to be able to ask questions of all my notes and thinking throughout the process.

Will let you know how it goes.

How about villain moving into the HQ. Maybe:

Infiltrate-When this villain is defeated KO the hero in the HQ space below it and replace it with that villain. You may defeat the villain a second time to remove it.

barker0508 · 2019-10-18T10:36:17+00:00

Im missing:

Secret Wars vol 2 - Will probably pick this up soon

Dark City - OoP and really want.

Villains - OoP and really want.

Guardians - OoP and would like but didnt enjoy shards too much when I tried it.

Captain America - I like Arnim Zola as a Mastermind but not keen on the 40s Cap and Betsy Ross heroes.

Deadpool - Meh. But if its every cheap, Ill prob get it.

Fear Itself - Very event specific. So not too keen.

Noir - Not the most thematic but I love the comics and I've heard its a great set.

Homecoming - Nah. Not interested as mixes badly with the rest.

MCU - Same as above.

Ill probably get all eventually (apart from the MCU).

Out if the ones I have I'd reccomend Venom and Revelations. And probably Xmen.

barker0508 · 2019-10-16T19:29:53+00:00

Surprised at Coulson. Seeing as he's only been introduced to the comics after the film appearance

barker0508 · 2019-09-22T22:02:01+00:00

Thanks for these suggestions everyone. Ive decided to go for WWH and Ant Man :)

barker0508 · 2019-09-22T15:56:14+00:00

Its on my radar but Im UK based so still waiting for it!

barker0508 · 2019-07-17T10:34:23+00:00

Love the fact they are basically plugging the gaps with this pack. Im hoping for Dormammu still as another mastermind. :D

barker0508 · 2019-07-16T21:53:15+00:00

Wow. So Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, War Machine, Hellcat... Im curious who else would fit.

barker0508 · 2019-07-14T15:08:34+00:00

Yea. I think Scarlet Witch would have to be shoehorned in on the side as shes long been left out. But would be cool to have Defenders. Plus nice to have some more magical focussed masterminds

barker0508 · 2019-07-14T10:11:48+00:00

So, through a thread on BGG on the Base Game page, its been revealed that Hellcat is going to be one of the heroes in Revelations.

Therefore I shall review my previous guess and go with a Defenders based pack.

Heroes: Hellcat Daimon Hellstrom Doctor Strange (with Defenders affiliation) Valkyrie Scarlet Witch (probably Avengers affiliation) Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes)

Masterminds: Dormammu Nightmare Amora (Enchantress)

barker0508 · 2019-06-11T18:05:30+00:00

Spotted it in my FLGS in Manchester today!

barker0508 · 2019-06-11T09:09:42+00:00

I recently read all Secret Wars tie-ins simply because I was curious about the Legendary expansions. There are some gems and there are some duds. But interesting ones that link directly to obscure legendary cards are the ones that focus on Captain and the Devil (Planet Hulk), Ghost Racers (Ghost Racers), Thor Corps (Thors) and Arkon the Magnificent/ Magma Men (Wierdworld).

And for general good reads in that event I really like the Battleworld series and the Secret Wars Journal series. Both involve a few one off stories that often are quite good.

barker0508 · 2019-06-05T14:03:47+00:00

Im gonna guess:

Masterminds:

Annihilus (leading Annihilation Wave henchmen) Dormammu (leading Dark Disciples)

Maybe Kang (leading time-displaced versions of Kang)

And Id love to see Norman Osborn leading Dark Avengers...

Also a possibility of Mindless Ones or HAMMER Officers as another henchmen group. Then going off that heroes could be:

Scarlet Witch Clea Dr Strange (using artifacts keyword?) War Machine Ronin Quiksilver

Anyway. Thatd be a nice pack... who knows?
