One thing that I'd appreciate seeing in "con reports" is more attention payed to the BFCs used on the particular teams, as well as what BFCs were in play for certain matches.
The BFC is a very neglected part of "event strategy" IMO.

That's easy. Just play a BFC that screws over your opponent, but has no effect on you. Oh wait, nearly all the BFCs are like that.

And your point is? Now that we are approaching the first retirement of BFCs, I actually think it is interesting to see how this plays out in the big events. Obviously tentpole teams will pack Poor Teamwork, but what are the "winning" LAMP teams packing? Since BFCs need to be chosen prior to the event, it's not like everyone is going to pack the same "screw yer foe" BFCs.
I'm especially curious what "top players choose" since these big events are much more than the usual 3-round affairs that make up 99% of our game experiences...so it's going to have to be more than just "Placeholder, OD, Placeholder"

We will see what we can do in terms of this. While we do our best to get all the information for con reports and the such our resources and sources for that matter are limited. Please remember in the end this is a free magazine and we are limited at times. I do appreciate the feedback and will do my best to see what we can do for this.

LOL. Touche'! You are correct. My original response was *not* a response to your question. It was just a senseless quip about my hate of BFCs.
The Freakshow checklist is missing the Clown victim. Can you tell us what it replaced?
I do not know. The Checklist was put together with information provided straight from Wade Sugiyama (Nevamind). So I was fairly surprised to see the preview of the Clown. It may be an additional Victim or replacement (maybe for the contortionist ??). When the set comes out next week the details of the Checklist will be verified and if changes are needed, I'll forward it to Rock810.
We were very honored when Wade let us have the information for the upcoming HorrorClix Set. It was a further sign that we, a little volunteer fan-mag, have the attention (and appreciation) of Wizkids.
And thank you, for sharing it with the members of your forum!
I haven't read it but downloading is almost done!
This is just my second critical hit, and I'm really grateful to all of the people responsible for this excellent publication!

Which would be pretty funny as that would make the second time the Contortionist was bumped from Freakshow The Escape Artist was originally called a Contortionist unitl Kelly saw the sculpt and renamed it.

We've all got the same goals - get accurate info out to as many as possible.
The Le, the logo you gave my "Out of the Limelight" article blew me away. Amazing work.
Ah. Thanks. The thanks should go out to the original artist, whoever that is. Although I will pat myself on the back for editing it into an appropriate logo for your particular article.
So, no comments on the HorrorClix Victims tokens I did? sigh
MrAahz had a few FAQ-like questions about the Highlander figure rules. Here's the questions AND the answers, and if you have any future ones, please feel free to PM me and I'll answer them as soon as I'm able to.
Take care,

If so, thanks for the great piece, but I've got a few questions...

Is this at any point in their turn or during a specific phase?
No particular point, but during their own turn of course.

Are these tokens revealed to all players or may just the Immortal with LOS 'secretly' view them?
Only the Immortal.

I assume that controlling an additional female victim essentially means they get a second Suspense phase as long as the second one is female. But does the monster control essentially equate to Possession? Is she considered friendly? Does she suffer the other effects of Possession?
Yes on a second Suspense phase for a female victim. For a monster, essentially its possession. She is not considered friendly, however.

What are you considering objects in HorrorClix. The rulebook lists portals, tombstones and Tree of the Damned. Which are light and which are heavy? Or are you using HeroClix objects in your HorrorClix games?
D'oh! That one was meant to be only for Heroclix usage of the Kurgan. Then again, this makes my article in perfect line with many fine Wizkids releases!
Thanks for the questions, glad you like them. If you get a chance, let me know what you think after playing with them![/quote]
