Holy cow I actually finished! 100+ game elements

The peanut gallery is open for specific feedback. Some point values may be a bit off but that’s what playtesting is for. I’m curious as to how unbalanced the Alien Ruler chases will be with their off turn shenanigans but without the STOP of most figures in that tier they may be bloated.

OF NOTE:

Hostage Characters- waaaay back in the day we got a couple of Action Packs (Indoor and Outdoor) that included maps, 3D objects (Lamp Post Mail Box and Dumpster were legends) and a sheet of Bystanders (MJ, Alfred, Alicia, Jarvis were META) that included a set of hostage rules and other scenarios. Those rules were never tourney legal but BST’s stuck around and scenario cards paved the way for Battlefield Conditions (mostly well received) and Event Dials (not so much). Basically I went with a mechanic that went defunct before Soaring and Flight stands. The result is a solid departure from how it originally worked and has been essentially melded with Capture/Release of the same era. The presence of cards uncomplicates the language and since these are standard sized characters using capture halving their movement felt like a reasonable exchange. (The old mechanic allowed you to move up to speed value of the character with lowest value…clunky to say the least). Since WK is hellbent on speeding up the game the Release mechanic was streamlined into an end of turn process instead of power actions. The boosts granted are inspired by title character effects since most characters that would use the mechanic are supporting cast members of said title characters. Regardless of whether my version was well executed it’s an extra dimension I feel the game would benefit from.

Grenades- my biggest problem with grenades was always the shared Grenade Pool. It made Grenades more like a Resource mechanic than an expendable item. With the new focus on terrain markers being an umbrella type that also includes objects and equipment changing their classification to fit into said mechanic is the direction I believe they will take if Grenades are brought out of retirement. Instead of a Power action it’s a Range Terrain Action and the item is expended in place of reducing a pool. Since they are a dropped equipment they can remain a danger to the battlefield even when the originally assigned character is not. Having their devastation easily be turned against you brings some high risk to the high reward of damage potential and map control they offer. With a lower destroy value than blocking terrain representing their volatility and no limit to equipping them (full bandolier) it’s an easy subclass of Equipment to build upon. Speaking of…

Equipment Subclasses - X of Swords had the right idea (albeit horrible execution lol). Swords. Guns. Armors. Grenades. Heavy. Power. Comic books cover a lot of ground. So do video games. I understand the reluctance to allow multiple equipment to completely unbalance a figure. Solution: Make certain objects only equippable by certain characters. Instead of EQUIP: Any like we have on everything how about using it specifically rather than just reading past it. Wanna go Sword and Shield? Be my guest. Armor and Cannon? Have a blast. By giving each a class you can specify interactions to keep it from getting out of control and applied to characters like Iron Man or Batman you can go full gallery.

Shifting Card and Point Costs - this one’s all me. I first came up with card swapping during a monthly contest using Ayla Ranzz and her many iterations without having to devote a whole dial to each. Loosely based on team up cards and Cyclops Was Right it’s essentially Shifting Focus without the additional plastic. Several months later WK revealed intentions to use a similar mechanic in Starters going forward. Either great minds think alike or they really do pay attention to creative corner (wink). From a team building standpoint being able to use 5 or more versions of a scaling dial makes this set the most versatile ever and removes the necessity of multiple starting lines. Min/maxing to your specific play style is the best way to go and this mechanic allows for just that.

Sideline Interactions - Mystery Cards fit very well with XCom’s strategic tactical game mechanics. Being able to target them specifically is thus far a no no. If we are going to keep adding elements to a sideline we need to counteract that by letting figures screw with sidelines. Mephisto Ultra Chase is a good start in that direction. I expanded upon it.

Terrain - as long as we get an individual marker for each type of terrain I say go nuts. Acid, Gas, Fire, Poison. Anything else. Just make sure you can build around them from both standpoints so its characters vs characters and not map vs characters.
