Just noticed this too. Take that Street Fighter!

So there's no "gg" in HeroClix.

They should have retired one fewer DC set than the number of Marvel sets retiring. It's like WK doesn't realize that there are fewer DC sets out there, and fewer coming up in the known schedule. :P

No! Not MnM!! Argh!

I think they did a pretty good job.

I jested on the other thread, but I would HOPE this is just an oversight.

If they make LOTR, Street Fighter, Gears of War, and Halo, and they are not Modern Age eligible, I would quit. Period.

There is NO reason to make them compatible if they are not tournament legal.

Hopefully we can see a change to that guide.

Thank you! This change to the keywords document is exactly what I've been asking for for years!

Though it is unfortunate that Rachel Summers Phoenix still doesn't have the Excalibur Keyword, I'm still glad other pieces got their keywords fixed.

You would quit? Really? Wow.

I think there are plenty of reasons to make these sets fully rules-compatible, but not make them Modern Age legal. Making the rules work together allows venues to mix and match freely if they wish to. But not opening up the restrictive Modern Age format to them keeps the focus of Modern Age squarely on comic book characters.

If half the legal sets for Modern Age weren't comic book sets...well, I wouldn't quit, but I would never attend a Modern Age event. That would be too diluted thematically to be fun for me. YMMV.

I was hoping that they wouldn't make a retirement in the modern age personally i dont think there was a good reason for it because golden age had the color rings but wen avengers and justice league came out the game changed for the better less multiples of figs but still were able to build armies and have fodder. O well what can you do at least you can still play some of your fave figs for fun.

My only surprise is that Batman Alpha isn't retired. Otherwise this is what I was expecting.

Hm. Kinda shocked about the whole "Other Licences aren't useful in Modern Age" that also puts Watchmen out.

List of Modern Age sets: The following HeroClix sets comprise the Modern Age. Any set symbols not included on this list are considered to be Golden Age: Avengers, Justice League, Mutations & Monsters, Crisis, Batman: Alpha, Secret Invasion, Arkham Asylum, Hammer of Thor, HeroClix Classics (all), The Brave and the Bold, Blackest Night, Watchmen, Web of Spider-Man, Brightest Day, Jonah Hex, DC 75th Anniversary, Giant-Size X-Men, and any Marvel or DC sets released after the publication of this document.

Halo is a Marvel comic. Gears of War is a DC comic. Street Fighter is done by some indy company I don't know. I'm not sure if there has been any LotR comics.

I wouldn't see why Halo and GoW figs wouldn't be allowed in Modern Age since the are Marvel and DC.

I only play modern, even at golden age events. My reasoning is because It's hard for me to build a team that I would end up loving, but I couldn't use it at an official modern age event. That and I don't wanna hang on to all those figures... I gotta recycle em out somehow.

It's kinda dumb for me to have that mentality, I realize, but that's just how I roll.

So if anyone wants my Crisis stuff... :D :D :D

Amen to that, I don't want other janky properties polluting my super"hero" clix...

None of those other properties have ever been included. For nearly a decade heroclix has been about comic book superheroes. Have you quit up to this point? There's a perfectly good reason to make them compatible and not make them modern age legal. You can play for fun with your friends at home or in none sanctioned events.

They are not superhero comics, which is the spirit behind heroclix, at least for the last 9 or so years.

That's like saying that because Archie is a comic book, we should have Jughead heroclix...

NO, JUST NO...

Somethings are better left as they are.
