The C3G Cave - Hangout

[Griffin]

I actually really liked Mr. Glass. But I am a villain buff. He was a great modern interpretation of the typical golden age villain - the exact opposite of his protagonist.

[IAmBatman]

I just didn't find him threatening at all. The climactic show down was Bruce arriving at Mr. Glass's apartment and then a bunch of text up on the screen. yaaaaawn.

I think you were projecting what you wanted out of the movie though. There was some action, but it wasn't an action movie. It was meant to be a homage to the comic book industry and how it has changed the way we perceive struggle and conflict between good and evil. I enjoyed it, though I will admit, it was very artsy.

[Aldin]

I have no idea where to post this, but I saw the lock on the Grenade Bandolier and wanted to toss out a thought on a way to pick a range for a future "throwable object" glyph of some sort. Make range = height (heightx2 for Superstrength). No fix for the glyph=SA issue though...

For movies, the ones I own are:

1) The Incredibles. If you want to get someone into Supers it doesn't get any better than this. No other Supers movie is more universally accessable.

2) Batman Begins/Dark Knight. Both excellent movies for anyone who grew up with Frank Miller's Batman.

3) Spiderman/Spiderman2. Give Spidey (and Sam Raimi) credit - he singlehandedly revitalized Superhero movies.

4) XMen/XMen2. I was actually pretty disappointed in the storylines they chose for these movies. The actors were great. The action was great. The storylines were a bit underwhelming.

5) Sky High. I never understood why this didn't get more geek love. It's light and fluffy, but a lot of fun nevertheless.

[IAmBatman]

Hmm, who would have thunk that what I want out of a movie and what I find exciting to watch would be one and the same? :-P

[Lord Pyre]

Unbreakable was a lot like the first Superman, except worse. It was great all the way through until the absolutely boring, chopped off, anti-climactic ending. Seeing Bruce Willis discover his superpowers in a really highly believable way was great. But Mr. Glass was a yawn and a fail.

My gosh, Unbreakable was a work of ART. Mr. Glass was perfect! Opposite in every way, entirely obsessed.

And heck, everything in the movie was art. The colors!! Green for David, purple for Elijah.The colors were everywhere! And then have the movie's scenes were framed like comic book panels! Just watch it from the beginning again, and you'd see that, it's really cool.

Yeah, it's not an action movie, it's about comics. And it pulled it off perfectly.

[IAmBatman]

I agree that it was a really cool movie and I liked every bit of it a whole lot other than the ending, which I just found really anti-climactic after a long build up. I didn't think the movie did a very good job of hitting the right "notes" at the end.
But, to each their own.

Well, I agree is wasn't very exciting, but considering one point of the movie is that David is actually a real human who found powers, he did what a normal person would have done. So I think it fit perfectly.

[IAmBatman]

If I wanted it to be exactly like real life, I'd watch a documentary. :-P The magic of movies is that they can make the universe of the movie feel real to you while making it exciting. Good movies can get away with doing one of these, but great movies really need to do both.
So, IMO, Unbreakable was good but not great, due to the lackluster ending.

[mrcrimson]

A buddy of mine saw unbreakable before me and described it as "issue 0 of a really cool comic book". I enjoyed it, but didnt have any desire to watch it more than once.

Where's the love for Mystery Men? Or Hancock?
Hancock was horrible. :puke: Garbage... just absolute garbage.

Oh, it wasn't that bad. I liked the first half, with the "homeless superhero" bit, but then it got into reincarnations or soul-mates or whatever the hell that was about and just kinda veered into a trainwreck. They had some good stuff to start with, though, I think.

Exactly. The beginning was hilarious. I loved the whole drunk Superman stuff. But it got too weird by the end. :p

I just got my first ever Heroclix figures.

Trying to find the right place to put in this request.

As most of you know, I have been and will always be a strong supporter of the C3G. This year, I will again be running a C3G-allowed tournament in Madison. I am looking for anyone who would be willing to offer a C3G-related prize. It can be as simple as a single figure rebased or as complex as a Master Set with printed cards. If anyone is interested in supplying a prize, send me a PM. I appreciate the work you all have done to make C3G the great enterprise it has become.

Sincerely,
ET

The problem with that is that all the funny scenes in the early part of the movie were old hat for me by the time I hit the theaters because they were played so incessantly in the previews! Men in Black 2 had the same problem ... not that many good scenes, and all the best ones were ruined by the previews.

[A3n]

I watched All-Star Superman last night, & thoroughly enjoyed it. It wouldn't make my top 5 but it was still very good, Superman as he should be.

Cheers

I don't remember seeing the previews, which helped. :p Kung Pow: Enter the Fist had the same problem. But I didn't see the trailers until after the movie for that one, either, so that's all good. :p

Sorry, I had to take yesterday off, but the fact that you thought I was gone for a while quozl, lets me know you care. :D I am still here though.

Of course! Of everyone in C3G, you're the most like me!

[Hidicul]

I'm going to be gone from the site for noone knows how long. Due to financial troubles I am leaving tomorrow for North Dakota to try and find a job. When I am able to get back on I hope to see this group still going strong. It has been a pleasure to get to know everyone in the group as well as work along side of you to design these amazing units. Hopefully Karat will step up to fill my shoes in the playtesting area as he is close to be being as a good as I am in that area. The designs I have in the public design thread (minus the Horsemen) are open for anyone who wants them.

[Hahma]

Very sorry to hear that Hidicul and after you just got your capital H in your name too. :( I wish you the best of luck in finding work and hope to see you back here as soon as you get things straight again. It's certainly been a pleasure working with you and you will certainly be missed during your absence.

[LordEsenwienIV]

I'm sorry to here this Hidicul and best of luck in the outside world.:(

[Griffin]

Well hopefully North Dakota has internet and allows Heroscape. :D Seriously though, I hope you find a great wealth of work. :D:up:

Don't forget about us, and visit us again as soon as you get on your feet.

God bless, Hidicul! We'll miss you. Just don't go all Adam Souza and Master Tang on us and actually come back! :-) Our public playtesting won't be the same without you and I might actually have some space in my inbox! :-P

That way if it did, you wouldn't have to post it somewhere that the rest of the group could see and start speculating to early on things.

Best of luck Hidicul. I have a feeling I will be in a similar boat come fall so I can imagine how hard it is to leave this awesome group.

I've always appreciated that and have enjoyed collaborating with you. :-)

:rofl: That wasgood Bats. Although I always did have a problem with that when it happened. It may have been retconed without me knowing it,but I was alway under the impression tat Magneto couldn't manipulate adamantium because it couldn't be effected by a magnet. That was why I always thought Wolverine and Magneto had such a rivalry.

What's the packaging like for Troll And Toad singles?
It's great. Everything is always in the condition specified when ordering the item (almost always near mint), and the boxes come tightly packed with styrofoam. I highly recommend them for getting cheap singles, however, you're better off attempting to trade for the pricier ones.

Some figures might be a little bendy (my Molly was), but nothing that can't be fixed with a little wedging between two books. Very well handled, I would say.

I mean, honestly, the figures I got out of an official booster were in worse condition. So, that says something.

Huh, for those interested in getting some extra hype for the new Master Set, Hulu has the entire series run of FANTASTIC FOUR: WORLD'S GREATEST HEROES (http://www.hulu.com/fantastic-four-tv) streaming. Not the best cartoon Marvel's ever produced and I'm not a huge fan of the designs, but, I'm enjoying it. For those interested in getting to know some of the new units more closely, might I recommend the following?

EPISODE 5 (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105599/fantastic-four-tv-my-neighbor-was-a-skrull) - "My Neighbor was a Skrull" (The Skrull)
EPISODE 8 (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105601/fantastic-four-tv-imperius-rex) - "Imperious Rex" (Namor)
EPISODE 9 (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105603/fantastic-four-tv-puppet-master) - "Puppet Master" (Puppet Master)
EPISODE 12 (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105607/fantastic-four-tv-annihilation) - "Annihilation" (Annihilus)
EPISODE 13 (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105608/fantastic-four-tv-de-mole-ition) - "De-Mole-Ition" (Mole Man)
EPISODE 14 (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105609/fantastic-four-tv-revenge-of-the-skrulls) - "Revenge of the Skrulls" (Super-Skrull)
EPISODE 15 (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105612/fantastic-four-tv-molehattan) - "Molehattan" (Mole Man)
EPISODE 16 (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105605/fantastic-four-tv-strings) - "Strings" (Puppet Master)
EPISODE 18 (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105613/fantastic-four-tv-the-cure) - "The Cure" (She-Hulk, Mole Man)
EPISODE 21 (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105611/fantastic-four-tv-atlantis-attacks) - "Atlantis Attacks" (Namor)
EPISODE 24 (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105618/fantastic-four-tv-contest-of-champions) - "Contest of Champions" (Annihilus, Super-Skrull)

And, of course, pretty much every other episode (and a good chunk of those above!) has Dr. Doom, so, pick one at random, you'll be sure to find one. :p Watch enough episodes and you'll see every single figure included, so, get ready! I know I have been.

Some other fun, C3G-relevant ones include TRIAL BY FIRE (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105621/fantastic-four-tv-trial-by-fire) (with the Kree), DOOMED (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105596/fantastic-four-tv-doomed) (with body-switching Doom), HARD KNOCKS (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105598/fantastic-four-tv-hard-knocks) (Thing vs. Hulk), and SHELL GAMES (http://www.hulu.com/watch/105616/fantastic-four-tv-shell-games) (Iron Man). Man, when we get enough Iron Man variants, that last one is just SCREAMING for a scenario...

I highly recommend Superman/Shazam: the Return of Black Adam, especially the Spectre, Jonah Hex, and Green Arrow short films. Currently it is on Netflix, but you can also buy the DvD for under twenty bucks. :star: :star: :star: :star: :star:

I liked the fact that Alyssa Milano was one of the voices on Spectre:) I didn't get a chance to watch the Jonah Hex one because the kids were waking up from nap time and I wanted to make sure that it didn't have anything I didn't want them to see in it. In fact it was that Green Arrow short that led to me doing my Merlyn write up.

[Lord Pyre]

So, I counted my figures, and it turns out I have 8 1/2 squads of Skrulls. If anyone needs some, I'm pretty sure I don't need that many! :p

(About half are the right sculpt, and a lot of guns broken off, but they're still skrulls, so...)

Man, yeah, those Skrull guns break off in transit like nobody's business. Very annoying.

Just picked me up a few of the Essential sets to catch up on some older comic stuff. I got Fantastic 4, Booster Gold, Captain America and Iron Man. I started reading the Fan4 one and man old comics were goofy.

I wish they had a Flash Essential book at my local comic store but I did pick up Rogue's Revenge or something to learn more about Flash's Rogues.

It's OK if you link to your custom thread where your Jack Bauer custom is ... but not really the place to discuss people's personal customs. :-)

[IAmBatman]

I'd love to join you guys, but finding a Batman/Fan Four combo pic worthy of display pic status has proven difficult to say the least. :-P

Here you go!

http://www.acmecomics.com/files/images/GGCC%20114.jpg


Heh. That's actually kind of awesome. Not sure if it'd translate well to an avatar, though.

[IAmBatman]

Heh ... that looks pretty hilarious, actually. I think I'll keep that one up for a few days. :-)

[redstang]

It's OK if you link to your custom thread where your Jack Bauer custom is ... but not really the place to discuss people's personal customs. :-)

Okay, so the next question is: How do I create a thread?? If you would be so kind to direct me to the answer that would be great.:D

[IAmBatman]

Go here: http://www.heroscapers.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=20
Click http://www.heroscapers.com/community/images/jungle/buttons/newthread.gif
And go from there. :-)

Another question Bats, How do I connect my newly created thread to my signature??

[redstang]

Without the http stuff

[tcglkn]

How do I connect my newly created thread to my signature??

Type the text. Copy the link. Highlight the text. Hit the http://www.heroscapers.com/community/images/editor/createlink.gif button. Paste your link. :thumbsup:

[IAmBatman]

What he said. :-) Thanks, Tickle.

[redstang]

Okay Guys, got it done. If you would like to view my Jack Bauer write up, hit up my signature. I feel so much more tech savvy now.
Thanks everyone:D

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Got a new avatar myself. I think its an appropriate homage.

[Hidicul]

I'll join the fun, and give some love for a part of the set I think everyone overlooks.

[quozl]

Avatars are so small!

[Lord Pyre]

I know, I had to ask him who it was.

It's moleman and the moloids surrounding the Fan 4.

Good eyes LP. It's Moleman and a bunch of Moliods that have the FF surrounded. It's a nice picture but I didn't realize how small it would be. I'm looking for a better one right now.

[johnny139]

Hope you're not tired of Green Lantern yet... 'cause EMERALD KNIGHTS (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810199121/video/24286898) is coming this June!

Looks pretty cool; so far, it seems to be six interlocking shorts, focusing on Abin Sur, Sinestro, Kilowog, Mogo, Rori Dag, and... one other guy who's still unconfirmed, with Hal training Arisia as an overarching "link" of sorts.

Looks pretty cool; I love vignette-type movies, and it seems this one'll have the Sinestro Corps in it, which is just icing on the cake.

But man, I'm way behind on the DC DTVs. I've only seen three of the ten!

News Man - With news of another Iron Man in the World we go down to Ted who has more.

Ted - Well as we are looking at the New Iron Man we can see how much he is different from the old Iron Man. The new one believes in saving the world here is a picture of him.

Well, I played my annual game of Battlestar Galactica (And totally died as the humans. :p ) at the convention this weekend. But I also picked up a second D&D set, so I can play the FF campaign, hehe!

Whoa!! What happened to the Book of Scarecrow?

[All Your Pie]

It appears to have been moved into the Sanctum for whatever reason.

[IAmBatman]

We decided a closer look by the heroes and the LD was in order. It had moved past the point where being in public was productive for it.

[Griffin]

Yep, it was moved by me (Bad Cop) because there was a lot of talking in there, which is usually fine, a bit annoying, but fine. But at this point, the Heroes need to decide what the Sanctum opinion is, come up with a solution, and voice it.

I will move Scarecrow back soon, and alert everyone when I do.

[johnny139]

Ah, that had me spooked for a second. I figured that was what was going on but I was worried someone accidentally poofed it into the aether.

Also, I was thinking of filling in the bios for the units that don't have them yet. So far I've found four - Professor X, Toad, Cyclops, and the Sentinel (all HeIsBatman designs, the slacker :p). Anyone notice any others?

[IAmBatman]

I started all the threads for the X-Men release. :-P But only Prof X on there is my LD.

[tcglkn]

Anyone need Moloids, Hydra Agents, Beat Cops or Hand Ninjas? This site (http://www.iconusa3.com/online/heroclix_tmg.htm) has a good bit of older Clix in stock.

[Griffin]

Have you ordered from them? They seem sketchy to me. The site does not tell you the quantity of their figures in stock, and they will let you process an order for 100 police men for example without adjusting your order..... I don't trust them.

[tcglkn]

I just made a small order of Hydra Agents to see if they were trustworthy. UPS Ground shipping so it may be a while.

[Griffin]

How many?

[tcglkn]

16. They are so cheap. We shall see if it is legitimate or not.

[GreyOwl]

The Moloids say "sold out".

[IAmBatman]

A LOT of stuff on there is sold out.

[tcglkn]

There are still Experienced Moloids available. For $0.39

[GreyOwl]

Cool! I'm going to try to order some and see what happens. :)

[Balantai]

C3G is the greatest thing that has ever happened on this site to me. I think it's fair to say that the cards are aimed towards a more mature audience. Not because the cards are "R" rated, but because they require a certain amount of intellect to play. They tend to be on the complicated side and I love it. Unfortunately, this usually means that my son (6 years old) is unable to really play these cards.

With the release of Marvelscape, the backs of the cards were used in a basic game that stripped the cards of their powers, but upped many of the stats to compensate. To me, this wasn't necessary because most of the figures were quite simple and didn't need this basic rule set. But with C3G being geared for an older player, is it perhaps warranted to create some of these basic versions. I know for a fact that my son and I would play with a basic Fantastic Four or a basic X-Men.

This is something I just want to throw out there and see if there's any interest. I don't even think it's something that the heroes would need to spend much time on. It could be something that's handled by the Sidekicks, perhaps.

I agree, C3G is awesome, and the only reason I come to this site.

I think Spidey or Tickle or someone brought that up to me the other day, and my opinion is this: If a creative mind and an artist can put them together, I would review them (not playtest, as I don't think it is necessary at all) and propose that they be released as C3G Official.
The key for me is that it doesn't become the responsibility of the sanctum in any way other than reviewing the final product. Just a couple of guys who want to get a few or all of the cards done. Maybe you should find an artist to help you out, and then start a thread in the outer sanctum. :)

[IAmBatman]

Yep, I agree with Griff completely on this. I'm happy to look it over and approve it if it's done well, but I'm not working on it. :-)

I believe we're thinking right along the same lines, Griff. Is there any reason you want this accomplished at the Outer Sanctum level instead of the C3G Project level? Since the heroes will have little to do with the project, I don't see any harm with allowing all the sidekicks the ability to give input.

[Balantai]

Awesome. It's nice to have you and Griff's support.

[tcglkn]

I didn't suggest that. We would have to create an entirely new template...

I might be able to tweak our current one for Basic cards. I'll see what I can do. :D

[tcglkn]

The problem is if we go back and make basic for everything they won't match and we won't be able to do comic art due to the odd "L" shape.

I would have to find the mini photos again and get new backgrounds. I'd be willing to do this but we have to accept that they won't all match. I don't wanna half do this either, I want it to be a complete set of Basic cards.

For me there are three reasons why it doesn't belong in the sanctum.

No one in the sanctum is really asking to work on it. ;)
The sanctum doesn't need the distraction.
It doesn't require the sanctum's skills to get it done, just votes.Now if you want to keep it public, I could be open to that. But I think if this is gonna get done, your gonna need to lead it and do most of the work on it.

I don't think every card needs a basic side, but I will leave that decision up to the interested people doing the work on this.

[tcglkn]

I think this could be a two person project. 1 person for stats and 1 person for art. We don't need community debates on whether Basic Flash should have 16 move or not. Easily done in the Outer Sanctum. This is obviously gonna be slow too with the artist having to create what over 100 basic cards?

[Balantai]

Now if you want to keep it public, I could be open to that. But I think if this is gonna get done, your gonna need to lead it and do most of the work on it.

I will take lead on this project. If Tickle wants to be my artist, I will create the thread in the Outer Sanctum and we'll create the cards from there.

[IAmBatman]

Sounds like a plan. I think the two of you are the best group to run this show. :-) A shame that we can't give you any rewards points for all the work (but we can't). :-P

You have my support. :D

I only have one request to Tickle; C3G Master Game Cards have to be a priority any time your asked to create a card.

As far as the look of the Basic cards, you can use whatever background and mini pic you want to. It would be great if they matched the front of the card, but it isn't a deal breaker for me. Or, maybe just use comic art instead of mini pics. That would save you a lot of time and work. :D But these decisions are completely up to you. Good luck, and thanks for taking the initiative. :D

[tcglkn]

Of course. That's my paying job and this is just a side project.

The problem with comic art is that it would have to fill a large "L" shaped window and might now always work out. Doing figure art will probably be easier since I need a mini picture for the hitzone anyways.

[Karat]

If you need, I'd be willing to pitch in as well.

Instead of doing Basic versions, why not just make simpler versions for your son? You are an accomplished custom creator. I am sure you can make something much more fun than just a collection of stats.

Something like that would belong in the unofficial C3G add on thread as it's not something the project could officially endorse.

Yeah, it's not even an add-on. It's something entirely separate.

[tcglkn]

It's MarvelScape Jr. Not something I have any interest in. Powers are a slippery slope. You start with simple ones and eventually you start adding one "slightly" complex one because it's a fun power and you can't resist. After that, you find the others not as much fun so you design more powers at that complexity.

I say we follow official Basic cards to the letter with the Flying symbol and Superstrength symbol.

Not sure why anyone would want to spend time doing Basic cards though.

How hard is it to do basic cards (other than the art)? It takes like a minute of thought to get the stats right. They aren't even costed so we don't need to test them.

It's for the kids man. Obviously were not designing Basic cards for us to use. :roll:

[davidlhsl]

Unless they are the type of player who tries to attack Invisible Woman at range with an Optic Blast Special -- WHOOPS!!!

I don't think you remember what your imagination can accomplish as such a young age. All you need is basic stats for 5 year old and they will imagine the most terrific battles. There are many cards that have been released by C3G that my son has little capability of playing, let alone effectively.

[quozl]

I remember. :) My daughter is only a few years older than your son.

If you want your son to have the most awesome time of his life with his dad, let him design some cool powers and print those out to play with him.

I don't know how many kids you have, but every child is uniquely different and special in their own way.

By the way, when I first got Heroscape, my bro in-law and I played the Basic only for 3 game before trying the Master side, and we had a blast for those first 3 games.

I will definitely do this with him. He's a bit too young at the moment, but soon he will be at that age.

[IAmBatman]

I don't think there's anything wrong with people wanting to have a more basic version of cards to teach their kids on ... our cards can get fairly complex. Now judging people for wanting to do these things or implying that they're wasting their time if they want to, makes you a bit of a dingbat. :-P

[Griffin]

I would like to see an attempt at a basic version of Doctor Doom and Riddler. :lol: That could be tough.

[IAmBatman]

I think you'd have to give Riddler a slight attack boost and a significant defense boost.
For Doom, I think you'd just give him fairly good stats in general and call it a day. Not too much else you can do.

[quozl]

Doom is already done, guys!

[davidlhsl]

You could have a compromise between the two. Design your basic stats, but add only one ability that isn't too complicated.

[tcglkn]

I didn't get that back so my order must be good. :D

[IAmBatman]

It's with a heavy heart that I have to let you guys know that two of our brothers have had to say goodbye to the project. Due to outside concerns from life, work, and so on, neither Hahma nor Whitestuff feel any longer that they have the time or passion to fully commit themselves to the C3G project and they've decided to step down.
Speaking for myself and the other heroes, we consider these guys C3G Legends and an inseparable part of the very fabric of Superheroscape. I consider them both friends as well as huge joys to have worked with on this project. I hope they'll continue to be fans of the project and step in from time to time as well.
Obviously these guys are irreplaceable and it will be a challenge to maintain our currently planned release schedule with them gone. These are things the heroes will need to discuss and consider in private in the days to come.
That said, we've lost huge parts of the project before. Matt Helm, Markb, and Garada were all founding members of the group, and all have moved on, yet C3G remains strong and will remain strong for the foreseeable future.
Hopefully you can all join me in celebrating what these guys have meant to C3G and thank them for what they've given to the project and the community.

Here's to Hahma and Whitestuff! :toast:
Our brothers, you will be missed.

[Griffin]

:toast:

[Spidey'tilIDie]

:toast: With a tear in my beer. :cry:

[Hidicul]

[davidlhsl]

If there is one thing that has impressed me about C3G, it's the hard work that is involved in producing the fun that I've been enjoying since August 2010. It's very sad, but very understandable, when someone has to step down due to life commitments.

One of my favorite moments was building one of A3n's map designs at the same time Hahma volunteered to construct it. It was a gorgeous map, and it was a lot of fun to compare notes with Hahma. I hope Hahma's current HYDRA base doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

Whitestuff has always found a way to make me laugh. He has a great sense of humor, which I hope we will continue to see. The comics he produces to accompany Wave releases have been, for me, an integral part of the releases. Whitestuff, your cheque (did I spell that right) is in the mail.

So, a toast to you both, as well as to all of you who continue to pour your talents into this project.

[DEATHWALKER 1970]

Sad news indeed! :(

[johnny139]

Sad to see you both go, but I can definitely see the reasons - your hard work is duly appreciated. It's been an honor serving with you. :toast:

I'll be dedicating my first game of Hydra vs Shield on the Gehenna Base map to you Hahma! :toast:

Please come back and check in on us every once in awhile. :wedgie:

Thanks for the hard work and good times. :D

[GreyOwl]

You guys will be missed, but hopefully you won't be strangers. It's been an honor working with both of you!

[1Mmirg]

You will be missed. Hope to still see you around plenty. Love all the work you've done!

[IAmBatman]

Whitey did post in the sanctum that he'd be interested in still doing the comics for the wave releases, which I know I'd be all about! :-)

[CharosInCharge]

A big thank you and good luck in your future endeavours to you both. I still consider myself to be new to the group and in that getting use to everything phase, but I have tremendous respect for both of you. Hahma's latest LD to go through pt was a joy for me, and I hope someone picks up where he left off with the hydra.

[Karat]

It's sad to see you go, and before whitey could even be made member of the week, did you plan that :razz:

Seriously though, you will both be missed, and I wish you both the best.

So it's your fault!! :razz:

:lol:

[Hahma]

Thanks for all the kind words from everyone here and in the Sanctum. :D

I'm not leaving the site, but I just need to re-focus on a few things in real life and don't have the time or can't make the time that I had previously, for the project that I believe in and am very proud to have been a part of. I'll peek in periodically to say "hey" or whatever, as I can never forget all the great folks here. :thumbsup:

[Porkins]

Sorry to see you guys go. I've enjoyed the C3G stuff since day 1. Thanks for all of the work and time you've put in for the benefit of others!

It is, apparently, time for a changing of the guard, as GreyOwl is joining the list of Heroes stepping down.

[Karat]

:shock: It's an epidemic. Look, I know you guys thought 9 heroes was too much, but losing 3 heroes?!!? This is insane! You guys are dropping like flies.

Greyowl, Hahma, Whitey, you all will be missed. Best of luck to you all.

[Lord Pyre]

Wow, GreyOwl will certainly be missed, too! I hope too many things won't have to change around here! :p

[Griffin]

Change for C3G has always been something that is inevitable and something that we must embrace. Expect some changes, maybe even drastic changes, but these changes won't be swift, unwarranted, or without clear communication with the public as well.
If anyone has any concerns or requests, I think the Sanctum is open to hearing them now more than ever.

[davidlhsl]

Ouch! :(

All the best, GreyOwl. :toast:

[Hidicul]

GreyOwl, not only will you be missed in C3G, but I think all custom creators will miss you. I was using your custom tools before I even knew what C3G was or started working on my own Superscape customs. Just because you guys here us Sidekicks complain about not being able to use our tie breaking votes because we had an odd number of Heroes isn't an excuse for you guys to drop like flies ;) I wish the best to all three of you.

[Griffin]

Just to be clear, Whitey, Hahma, and GO will still be around, just not in the sanctum or as current members of C3G. You will still bump into them from time to time, they have all just decided that they are happy with what they have given the group (which is a LOT) and that they are ready to move on to other things in life without the responsibilities and stresses of C3G.
They will of course all 3 maintain their badges and Sanctum Access, they just will not be active members.

Ok now this really sucks. a third of the heroes, stepping down in times of need. I guess this was why Art Dept. members were recruited. YOu will all be missed.

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

[Good Pig]

:( Sorry to see you leave too GreyOwl.

The work you've done on the artwork and cranking out killer designs has made C3G what it is today. Here, here! :toast:

:( It's been a pleasure working with all three of you. I am sorry that you have to leave, but I understand. Best of luck in your life.

"Times of Need" What more do you need or want from them. They devoted two years of their life to produce two Master Sets and a butt ton of cards..... I would say job well done and :toast: to their work. :D

[LordEsenwienIV]

I don't really know what to say:cry:

I'm sorry to hear about C3G's loss, but am glad that Hahma, whitestuff and GreyOwl will still be around the site. This place would be much the poorer without them.

[whitestuff]

You know, if this actually happened, then Doomsday would get some love... ;)

Thanks everyone for the kind words, but you won't get rid of me that easily... :D

I'm looking forward to being a fan of whatever goodness that the C3G produces next. Keep up the quality work Heroes; you guys rock.

Hey, I love Doomsday. I played him in an Army with Lex (business suit), Superman, and Bodyguards x4 and it was extremely powerful and efficient. I could put all orders on Lex without worrying about him being attacked, and on each turn I could move the Bodyguards, take a turn with a Kryptonian, and then attack with Lex. 8)

950 :)

[1Mmirg]

Wow. Late to the news. Change happens, but it is sad to see GO stepping down as well.

So glad we got as much amazing work from all of you as we have--I look at my "no longer fits in two drawers" of SuperScape and I can only smile--we are rich, rich, rich with wonderful units--thanks!. Thanks for the hours untold you've spent on this.

Truly gifted, each of you.

I gave him some love in our C3G tourny that Longy so graciously hosted for us. I ran Moleman, 10xMoloids, Super Skrull, Elektra, and Doomsday. Doomsday was a big hero in my games as he came back about once per game.

[tcglkn]

I find Doomsday and Civvies to be a tough army to crack. :twisted:

[Porkins]

Hey, I like Doomsday too!

Oh, and I also think that Owl guy is pretty cool too. GreyOwl, you converted me from minis-cards to comic-cards with your awesome work. Thanks to you for all you have put in!

[IAmBatman]

Put me down for loving Doomsday as well. :-)

[CharosInCharge]

I wrote a strategy for doomsday so I obviously have love for him too!

[Margloth]

I hate to see Heroes go, but I'm glad they get to go on their own terms and satisfied with what they accomplished. That's a treasure for them!

Thanks for all the fun guys, drop in once in a while, and good luck with everything!

[Matt Helm]

I thought ERB members were supposed to be lazy and not have any real work to do? I still have 6 designs sitting in my inbox and that's after answering a couple already in the last few days... WTF?!?!? What is a temporarily retired, lethargic loser supposed to do with all of these messages?

[tcglkn]

Good luck with that Matt. With Heroes having 2 designs at once expect many PMs. :p

[IAmBatman]

We also changed our policy to sending out every design to every ERB member ... maybe we should reconsider? :-P

[Hahma]

Some good news, at least for now.

Back in the fall, I found out from my daughter in NY, that my ex-wife (her mom) had been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. That's not good. She also had spots on her lungs that were the same cancer that was in her colon. She has been going through chemo with monthly infusions that have been making her pretty sick as would be expected.

Well I recently found out from my daughter that the spots on her mom's lungs have disappeared and since they were the same cancer as in her colon, it should mean that the cancer in her colon has either shrunk or disappeared. She's scheduled for surgery in June or July to remove the cancerous (or what's left of it) tumor in her colon. She's by no means out of the woods yet as I imagine it can come back, but at least it's some positive news for us in the meantime.

Anyway, I just wanted to update the situation to those that I had mentioned the situation to back in the fall. Thanks to those that offered prayers and thoughts, hopefully they are working. :D

[SirGalahad]

That's terrific news! Prayers continuing.

[LordEsenwienIV]

Great news Hahma! And best of luck to her!

Man, I didn't even recognise Hugo Weaving in the Red Mask costume... He'll be an awesome bad guy...

[johnny139]

Ooh, sweet. That's a high quality costume there; very comic book but also very realistic, nice looking head (and it's evidently not going to be CGi, either, which is fantastic). Definitely looking forward to the Captain America movie above all else at the moment. :D

[Devil's Advocate]

Not sure if this is the right thread to post in, but I was wondering if anyone would be willing to make a card for me for the Asgardian Destroyer custom that I have been playtesting.

In exchange, I could playtest someone's custom that they want more feedback on or something else.

[IAmBatman]

Nope, it's not the right thread to post in. :-) Questions about individual customs belong in the individual customs forum.

[Devil's Advocate]

Ok I guess I can go create a new thread in there just to ask a question.

Out of curiosity, what is this thread for if it isn't to talk with or ask questions to C3G members?

[Griffin]

We just avoid situations where people try to "advertise" their own customs and ideas. If you have to ask if you should say something, that usually means you shouldn't.

Why don't you PM me whatever your thinking and we can discuss it there? :)

[tcglkn]

Out of curiosity, what is this thread for if it isn't to talk with or ask questions to C3G members?

It's to discuss whatever we want, but soliciting help from C3G members on personal customs is not appreciated. If you start a thread and link it to your sig, members like quozl, Balantai, hi1, and others will help you out.

Well, we can certinaly help you out, just not as part of C3G. Check out some of our own custom threads. Just go to the Comic Customs board.

[IAmBatman]

It's a thread for C3G members and fans to talk to each other about C3G customs and general chatter ... not individual customs.

[Karat]

Glad to hear that Hahma :)

I'm loving that Red Skull costume

[Scapemage]

It's looking to be a good movie. Maybe better than Thor.

It does look good, but like hidicul, I am a bit leery of it. It will sadden me greatly if it does not take place in WW2

[GreyOwl]

I've heard that it is during WWII, and covers from his origin until he gets frozen. I think the idea is that they'll thaw him out in modern times during the Avengers movie in 2012.

[quozl]

It does.

[Scapemage]

Well, something cool just happened. I was outside for about 10 minutes, and up in the sky, I witnessed the National Spaceship, followed by the Discovery Space Shuttle, fly over head, towards Florida, where they will be landing. Pretty cool if you ask me. 8)

Party pooper. :p Nasa is freaking cool, I used to work in a model rocket team, and my team won first place in a competition, once. My brother's team won last year, now they're working WITH Nasa on a special project. Pretty freaking cool cool, if you ask me.

[IAmBatman]

I'm very pro space exploration. It's a huge universe and it's ripe for scientific discovery. We've already gained so many scientific and technological boons as a side effect of what NASA does, it's amazing.
Count me as pro-scientific exploration and pro-space program (which is a hugely American and patriotic industry, IMO).
