... Which is accounted for in the scenario I wrote out. Being close enough to use his trait means he has to be close enough for Genesis to base him. Once that happens, Doom is done (barring the vagaries of dice, of course)

Oh, you don't actually play.

This is a good point. The piece is still new. Whoops. I don't think it really changes things though, because Doom still isn't going to be able to get her past the second stop click before she starts attacking him.

This is the opposite of making it interesting. Games over 300 are just unwieldly, especially given the modern design philosophy.

I fundamentally disagree that basing Doom means he's done. Basing him doesn't necessarily mean he got attacked, and as I've said 3 times now in this thread, he has a 75% chance of succeeding on breakaway to running shot, move out of reach of Genesis' charge, and shoot. Or alternatively, perplex up defense and force Genesis to roll 9s through probability control.

I just need to pedant for a moment.

Genesis is a woman. She’s Apocalypse’s wife. A couple posts have properly identified her, but the majority have not.

Thank you for your time.

... %&^ it. I believe you. I just can't believe water terrain doesn't stop non swimmers from moving further like it did for what 18 or 18 years.

I guess every character is an olympic level swimmer these days.

Dealing damage and taking damage are two different things. Doom taking no damage due to Invincible doesn't change the fact that he was dealt the damage

Oops, I said "he" instead of "she". I'm totally unfamiliar with the character, up to now.

Yes he COULD do those things but let's consider too that if he breaks away for the running shot, he still remains within Genesis's 6 range. So she can return the favor. And again, Doom may be taking Mystics damage on top of it.

I'm a big Doom fan but GED just isn't the Doom to play in this particular scenario.

Very true. I've even suggested locally that we make 250 points or even 200 points the normal format. It's not uncommon to have six or more figures on a Modern 300 point team and that makes for slower paced games, not to mention how unwieldy the game already was before the more recent power creep, due to how many elements there are and how much text is involved.

I won my venue's Silver Surfer prize a while ago. However, since I don't play every week or anything & the fact that there are 5 freakin' rules sets in my head. (I started playing a week after IC released.) This forces me to ask a few more questions than when I was playing every week.

I feel your pain. As a judge I often have to refer back to the current rules because I still have previous rule sets competing for attention in my mind. Many veteran players in my circle are the same way.

My Mantra: "I am going to do my best to stay positive." LOL

There is a lot of fun still here in the game. I just hate feeling like what a dementia patient goes through when I play this game.

Yes she is & the story showed that she WORKED Apocalypse in a fight in my recollection. It was pretty cool to read on Comixology.... before the site went to poop.

For me it's "I'm gonna do my best not to accidentally cheat".

But yeah I still gripe and complain sometimes (I have to consciously check myself) about the newest rules set but it's still a very fun game. It's really what you choose to make out of it.

I guess I better tally up the votes in a few days.

"Jimmyboy & the Accidental Cheating" sounds like a phenomenal band name. I could hear that being announced at Coachella.
