or how about a youtube video explaining how rule(s) work? If done well, it could be a great marketing tool.

zoiks, there actually already is a youtube video by NBPerp explaining some HCO maneuvers.... yeah! more of those and maybe an instructional video for beginners. And some common strategy/tactics for advanced players.
I do have one question regarding the TAs not being on the up-to-date PAC though...
So when we play a game these days, we bring our figs, their character cards, the up-to-date player's guide, the up-to-date PAC and finally the up-to-date print out of the TA's as well? That seem to me to be a whole stack of paper for a game that started out with "Everything you need is on the dial."
I like that Norm at least acknowledged that the playtesters discussed the outwitting when adjacent issue which doesn't make sense for comic accuracy perspective and even gameplay perspective (IMO). I just don't agree that it weakens Stealth that much if they had changed it. Stealth is too powerful period. If you can make a close combat attack against someone in stealth that means you can see them, so then you should be able to draw LoF to them with the various within 10 squares and LoF powers when adjacent.

"Everything on the dial" was a good way to establish the game for the first couple of years. But it was mostly for marketing anyhow, and it wasn't something WK stayed committed to for more than a couple of years.
As far as what to take on game day, don't most people just leave it up to the judge to bring the player's guide? And that's going to have the PAC and TAs with it anyhow. It'd be a mess if 6 to 10 players were all bringing folders with the player's guide to our venue. Our judge might reference it twice per tournament, if that.
I do bring the PAC with me, usually. If there is only one rumored TA change this year, I'll just clip the TAs from the Blackest Night/Fantastic Four sets and keep them handy. No reason to toss those if the info on all but 1 TA is still good, I figure.

I guess what I'd like to see is TA's printed on the character cards a la Watchmen. Especially if they're pulling them off the PAC.
TA descriptions on the cards would make sense, though they wouldn't always be practical. Wordy SPs would edge out the TA wording, or even cards for characters who have nothing but standard powers (Monica Rambeau).
This was my first clix cast!! This is a pretty cool show. How did you guys get Henry Rollins to record a spot? :-O
He's an avid Clix player and fan of the show....
I met him after a Spoken Word, told him we use his song "Up for It" for the intro to our podcast and I asked if he'd record a soundbite for me...he was down for that. It was pretty cool...Gudda didn't think I could get him to do it. HAHAHA.
Spoiler (Click in box to read)
He is not an avid Clix Player and has never listened to the show.
