For those who use it, my keyword list (see signature) is updated with the Fantastic Four starter.

I'm looking for a little feedback, though.

I listed the Anti-Monitor with Crisis because of the set symbol.

I've listed the new starter as Secret Invasion for the same reason. Is this cool with people?

sounds good to me!

Updated to add Secret Invasion.

Note that there are "errors" based on the keywords provided by WK.

Skrull/Skrulls are listed distinctly.
V Battalion/V Batalion are listed distinctly.
The Hand/Hand are listed distinctly.

Additionally, Victor Von Doom is not listed, and I'm not certain of the other FF LEs.

In other words, there may be updates a-coming again soon, so if printing is an issue, you may want to hold off.


Additionally, I have decreased to font size for two reasons. One is to keep the document as short as possible. The other is to be more friendly for 3-hole punches.



If anyone notices anything askew, please let me know.

Thanks

Thanks i have had this your list bookmarked since avengers.. Rep to you friend.

Updated - Added the Prize Support, Elektra, and smoothed out the Skrulls.

I'm getting ready to compile an update.

I've got some questions.

Should I add ranks (REVU)?
If so (and I probably will), is U sufficient or is there some reason to break that down as U/LE?

Should I add the Bystanders under the "No Keyword" section?

You could, it would make sense.
Another thing you could do is show people which teams certain Bystanders would make sense on.
Like Franklin and HERBIE with the Fantastic Four, Colleen Wing and Misty Knight for Heroes for Hire, etc.
Not official keywords but more like "as a note this bystander would be involved with....."
Because some people try to keep their bystanders as part of the theme and it would be great to find a place that mentions it

the "mystical" section is missing

no...it's there around page 30.

Great work on keeping this updated!

I'd prefer it if you 'fixed' the obvious Wizkids errors though, rather than listing them seperately.

All your other suggested changes look fine. I don't see the need to list the bystanders under the "No Keyword" section though, since essentially they get EVERY keyword.

Wow, very helpful, I was debating on making a spreadsheet but this saves me the trouble!

As for suggestions, I like the R/E/V idea, and for me personally adding the U and LE separately saves me a bit of hassle, but doesn't make or break it for me. All in all, great friggin job!!

Updated:
- Added Arkham Asylum
- Added Figure Rankings (REVU - Anything which is defined as unique is listed as U, even LEs)
- Reverted some errors which had been corrected with errata but are no longer. (Argue what you want. I know it is stupid, but they ARE different.)

If you see anything amiss, please let me know.

These are the "anomolies" I know:

These had errata which is now gone:
Critical Mass 096 Silver Surfer - Defender (Defenders)
Critical Mass 042 Archangel - Horsemen of the Apocalyse (Apocalyse)
Universe 118 Nightmare - Mystic (Mystical)
Giants 001 Atom Smasher - Infinity Inc. (Infinity Inc)
Origin 028 Knockout - Female Fury (Female Furies)
Origin 094 STRIPE - Infinity Inc. (Infinity Inc)
Origin 208 Alan Scott - Green Lantern (Gren Lantern Corps)

These need errata to match previous keywords:
Secret Invasion 048 Elektra(a) - Hand (The Hand)
Arkham Asylum 013 The Human Bomb - Blüdhaven (Bludhaven)
Arkham Asylum 034 Robin - Blüdhaven (Bludhaven)



Yes...I'm that picky...on my list a stupid umlaut keeps Bomb and Robin from their rightful teammates. I kept Infinity Inc. seperate...and that is HALF as many dots.

Updated with Thor's Buggy and a couple of corrections.

The issues listed above are still present.

I fixed:
- Dynamoc Duo is now correctly spelled as Dynamic.
- Captain Gordon is now listed with the rest of the Police.

The Vehicle keyword is listed as a non-generic keyword. I suspect that this will eventually change, but the rules state that a keyword not listed under their list is not generic, so it technically is not generic.

Sorry for the n00b question here, but I'm just starting to get into HeroClix, well not really, but I'm trying to start playing by the rules.

I don't get Keywords. I cant find anywhere on the internet that explains to me what they are used for. The only thing I can find is which characters have what Keyword.

If anyone could explain, thanks.

Also, unrelated, where is the best place to buy new maps? I'm tired of playing the same 4 maps over and over.

I highly recommend getting your hands on the most recent copy of the rules (pdf link is in the units section). These rules (from the Fantastic Four starter) contain everything you need to know about Keywords and what they are used for.

In a nutshell, though, keywords are can be used to create theme teams (which give certain bonuses as describes in the FF rules). Also, some feats and other game effects also incorporate keywords.

Regarding maps, you can always try the obvious routes (getting specific ones on the trading forum here in the 'realms or e-bay), you could try purchasing custom ones (see the 'Monday Maps' advertisment on the home page?), or you can buy starter sets (each starter contains at least one map). Also, maps were usually given out to venues with the release of a new set (Armor Wars lab, Supernova space, Origin JSA museum, etc)... if there are any local venues in your area still playing you might want to see if they've got any extra.
