Is it just me, or did we fly through this thread?

Heh!

LOVE me some Archer, but I'd imagine Cyril's...er...malady would be tough to capture on a clix grid.

Though I know it'd be called "Oh, Hello!"

This one grew quickly. I blame Suga!

You don't like the prize-driven tourney model, or the tourney model in general?

Considering the list of obligations I'm already not living up to, adding any reluctance to get involved in yet another social circumstance and how I'm not someone who looks to games for distraction, I continue to think it's wise for me to stay out of Mafia games. At least for now.

I don't like unique representations of characters being made as exclusive prizes.

Give away boosters, advance figures from a future set, solid gold sculpts on existing dials, cold, hard cash or sexual favors and I'd be fine with any of that as none of it would affect how I put teams together or play them. Prize LEs, though, bug me. I am by nature or upbringing not a competitive gamesman. The Conanesque joy of driving opponents into the ground is not part of me, and generally speaking I believe I'm much more comfortable losing with grace and humor than I am in winning. Putting a prize on the line that I actually want - and which is only available that way or by buying it off a winner or a judge - is the #1 reason I stay away from venue play.

And, no, fellowship is not an effective balance. It's a nice gesture, but nothing more.

lol...this.

But one day, K-Ness, one day.

I have nothing against it, but I do like your idea of the prizes all being from the next set in that universe (i.e. prizes for GSX all being from the Captain America set).

A few times it slowed to a surprising crawl - I'd thought I'd come back on this morning and find that it had passed 2000 last night - but yes, in general, we tend to burn through these.

What's funny is that the borkeness usually isn't anything fitting with the source material half the time anyway. Aside from the characters being based on the source material. Joker and Lockjaw are about as likely as Frodo and Master Chief.

I'm 100% with you on the compatability. They just should work together if someone wants them to or not. It makes sense and gives the other licenses legs that they otherwise wouldn't have.

I had noticed reading my New Avengers that the guards at the raft have a striking resemblance to the soldiers in Halo. It was one I had thought of skipping but in my mind I could justify using them. So wizkids can sign me up to take more dollars out of my back pocket.

Btw I received my Cap GF today. Opened five boosters and will likely wait for the wife to open more. It's the only thing she cares to participate in heroclix wise. Pulled Hydra Officer, Sin, Black Widow, Klaw, and Red Skull so far. THe figures look great. Black Widow looks especially good.

Actually, we are slowing down.


The prior one was exactly 2 weeks (Friday to 2 following Fridays). This one made it almost 3 weeks.

Not to be nit-picky but going by the date of the OP it's only been 11 days. Then again I don't consider myself any kind of math expert. Just figured I would say something before you got havened.

See, I'm a fan of HrC. It is a really fun game with a very distinct feel, and I'm a little upset that it didn't get the fair shake it needed toward the end (by the company or gamers, many of whom weren't willing to give it a shot and instead lamented the fact that they weren't HC compatible).

Should WK decide to revive it, I'd hope that cross compatibility would be a secondary consideration vs. keeping the feel of the original game.

So I guess that Jason X vs. Wolverine crossover is out, then?
