once again, I think more is better for this game. More variety. more things to target. more dynamic and creative build possibilities. I also think that cards are a great way to make ruling simpler, because the rules are right there on the table.

I know some people prefer the older more static Heroclix; but I always wanted more from the game, and am much happier with the way things are now (aside from the whole TOPPs buying then shutting down the game thing) but still think there's more to go before the game is perfect.

I agree with this as well. I have always thought that an Alpha Flight Symbol, For example, that has the same ability as the Avengers TA would be better than Alpha Flight Clix with the Avengers symbol.

More TAs means more things for powers, feats and BFCs to target. more variety for the game.

This game sucks, all of these ideas suck. As matter of fact, all strategy miniature games suck. That's why they all die a gruesome and neglected death.

Who wants to waste time with a mentally stimulating game of miniatures among friends that excercises your gray matter and allows some social interactions among your own species?

That's right! Noone does.

Now, everyone move along to your favorite MMO's. You no longer have to bath, wear clothing, communicate appropriately, or even try to function socially.

See, that's much better. Now move along, nothing to see here.

Go on, move along.

I see where you were going conceptually with that, and I like the concept, but I don't think it works. If you add Stunning Blow now you have a very broken power.This power combined with a damage value of 2-4 that crits on an 11 or 12 and does penetrating damage is overpowered.

As a possible alternative or two I suggest making the TA grant an incap ability that adds 2 tokens instead of one but that does not inflict pushing damage. This would simulate fear stopping someone dead in their tracks. Not inflicting the pushing damage keeps it from being overpowered while still keeping it useful.
Another option is to say that members possessing this TA can counter Willpower and Indomitale as well as TA's, Feats or Traits that duplicate effects of Willpower or Indomitable on any target figure within 10 squares as a free action once per turn and LOS required. In this way the SC TA directly opposes one of the signature powers of the GL corps and can actually slow down Power Cosmic or Quintessence pcs (lookin at u ION).

WHat are your thoughts on that?

here are the four Retcon cards I made so far:

One of the things I think that would help the game alot would be to sell pieces that would make the current maps truly 3-d. Like bldgs, and bushes and such. I think that'd be cool

Actually, FAT DRAGON GAMES already offers a pdf product that lets you print 3d-objects (some easy assembly required).

Get it Here.

As a matter of fact, that particular product was produced specifically for HeroClix (and its on sale on for GM's day).

I think that everyone here can agree that Heroclix, despite the numerous rule changes and marketing strategies, still remains a very viable product, and probably the best hero-based CMG created to-date. Despite the complications that special powers and character/feat cards bring, it's still an enjoyable way to pass the time in either a social or solitary setting (though, not as fun).

I have some issue with the over-abdundance of SPs, but there's nothing to fix, per se. However, the game definitely needs to be treated with some respect by the new owner(s).

Given the general state of the economy, it will be difficult for this type of game to survive without a major price increase, manufacturing cutbacks, or a revamp that eliminates the accessories (feats, cards, etc.) in order to return to basics. I suppose the Alpha series was a testbed of sorts, as someone must have seen this coming early-on.

The fact that the original Heroclix rules/concepts still work (sans special objects, feats, etc.) proves that someone needs to keep the game alive, whether it's a corporation or a public entity.
