This week Steve and Jeremiah talk about Fear Itself Month 3, Spiral and Gen-Con. Listen up!


This week Steve and Jeremiah talk about "The Watch List", Yu-gi-Oh, Mage knight, Resources and Relics and much more! Tune in.

thank you. I know you have been busy.

Also sorry about being so late guys. Things are gonna be much better here on out for the rest of the year!

I think you'll like episode 132, which we recorded last night. I thought it was a great one.

listening right now!

Fix the team bases: Give the team base a power action they can make ATTACKS based upon their point total. 100-299 2 attacks, 300-499 3 attacks, 500+ 4 attacks. So then it's more like Duo Attack, not being able to use power actions to use different powers.

Fixes!

Hooray!

Just listened to the first one so far.

But...

Grid Reality maps made for Pacific Rim. Please!

Can I get a quick "yay!" for the return of the Young Batman Adventures main theme at the end?

1 action per 200 pts or fraction there of. So JLB at 300 will be a better version of Multiattack. At 400-600 it'll get 3 attacks. There is zero reason why at 600 it (or any other base) should have more than 3 actions without any penalties.

You guys could do a Q/A via the Realms or a Facebook fan page (which wouldn't require everyone be digital friends.)

Good stuff!

Listened to 132 first. Good show.

100% agree with Jeremiah that Wk can do a lot better with their design. While some stuff might "slip past", the Watch List is filled with egregious problems that anyone who understood the most basic of HeroClix could see a problem.

I don't support a ban on anything but I do expect some rule changes and errata to make the game better.

Listening to 131 as I work...

Yay! More ClixCast!

I was actually very happy to see another clix cast up, I really enjoy hearing fellow clixaddix and their exploits/adventures. This is the third time you've mentioned a favorite figure/series of figures of mine! First adam warlock who gets a bad reputation because of his high cost, horsemen and now Doom/Kang! They can prove to be a devastating duo figure. Wildcarding three figures would make doom and kang ridiculously overpowered. A robin for batman ally, a 150 point baron zemo for masters of evil as well as his 'Master of the masters' trait and any generic mystic. (Yes I know...very cheap) Now doom and kang are going to runningshot straight into stealth,penetrating for 5 damage for 3 or more consecutive turns without ever resting and possibly never taking a Moe unavoidable. I don't play them in such a way unless im going up against vehicles or teambase....usually they are accompanied by 2 doombots for enhancment and two space phantoms. (2 goons for each doom and kang)

I've played against a spiral team about four times since she's been released and I have never seen her win except once. The first two matches were practice matches with a friend using her printed dial, the next was in a tournament style match where my horsemen decimated her and the third I watched her go down in a battle royal. She doesn't scare me. However I do agree with you're suggestion of restricting her portal tokens to friendlies with certain keywords...that would be a MASSIVE decrease in her broken potential.

Glad to hear from you guys again!

I don't think the multi-action 'Working together' element is the problem with teambases.....its everything else a teambase has that make 4-5 attacks devastating. If a designer is going to allow a single based figure (teambase or otherwise ) attack five friggin times then why not balance it with lower stats and a higher pointcost? Does the xmen gold base REALLY need to have the ability to deal 50+ damage in two consecutive turns? Indomitable, 5 damage, 19 defense, break away automatically, stealth, can't be outwitted.......if you are going to give a figure that much damage output then why are you giving it EVERY good element a figure could possibly have? Why not 3 damage? Why not start with a 17 impervious? Does the attack value HAVE to be a 12+ to assure it hits every friggin time? Let's throw on probability control just in case the universe sees teambase as unbalanced and curses the die. Its all just bad design......I don't think the xmen should EVER have 19 impervious and 5 penetrating damage, it sounds like we are talking about darkseid or Thanos now.
