Re: Heroscape, Spells and Runes (1.1.5 Update 06/09/14)
It's all good qt.bangerang, glad to see life is good on your end. That's great news! I think taking a break has brought a fresh perspective back to the project. I look forward to seeing what you've edited, changed, and come up with. Very excited to say the least

Re: Heroscape, Spells and Runes (1.1.5 Update 06/09/14)
I would word Jandar's Ice Wall rune something similar to this.
Whenever a figure rolls defense dice you may use Ice Wall Protection. Reroll targeted figure's defense dice. After using Ice Wall Protection remove this card from the game. I can give feedback on the other cards wording if you would like it. Customs here Master Set IV/Assault in the Mournlands.

Took your advice Taeblewalker & William099 and updated Ice Wall Protection as a offensive and defensive Spell

Re: Heroscape, Spells and Runes (1.1.6 Update 07/29/14)
So it's been some time sense i've done any updates with my Spells & Runes project, I think at this stage I'm going to make a clean cut version for a Photoshop file which will contain everything I worked on, allowing you to create your own spells and runes. I truly think that with the release of the Magic the Gathering: Arena of the Planeswalkers will help greatly with the ability to give a good guideline of what could be done with this project. So expect a update sometime this week.

Re: Heroscape, Spells and Runes (1.1.6 Update 07/29/14)
Thanks for the bump for these spells, G1shark! I'd never read any of these before, and they're a pretty great idea, I think. The idea of using spells in battle with points is both clever and a good way to round out extra leftover points without resorting to ninjas. Or you could play a 500 point game with an extra 100 points exclusively for spells, etc...
My only odd concern was having one of the Einar spells boost the 20-d. I had a hard time coming up with even a single Einar unit who used the 20-sided die, and with the few exceptions I now recall (Master of the Hunt, Retarius, Ana, etc.), it still seems weird considering most of his main guys don't use those. But I digress. These are pretty awesome--I look forward to the coming update. ~TAF TAF was the Storyteller... in THE ENEMY'S LAST RETREAT |

@TheAverageFan
Yeah I really feel like they can help change the direction of a battle or a turn on a unsuspecting opponent. Well the Spells/Runes weren't designed to be played exclusively to a single general, but I did have Retarius and Ana in mind at the time of creation. Thank you, I just recently uploaded the download link to where you can now create your own. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3p526j3l5e...lates.zip?dl=0 "There's a fine line between genius and insanity, I have erased that line."

Re: Heroscape, Spells and Runes (1.2.0 Update 03/14/15)
These cards are absolutely beautiful, might I say. I strongly look forward to using them.
I do have some concerns about the balance of some of them. The one-round boost spells, especially Emporer's Luck and Ullar's Speed, don't seem like they could be worth it in terms of time. The speed boost will give you less extra movement than you could get simply by using that turn to move the units you want. It would make more sense for it to stick around for 2 rounds, perhaps, or something of that nature. And Valkrill's kill spell, with a 75% chance of killing any hero for 50 points, seems to make all expensive figures well neigh unplayable in its meta. The other thing is that there is an Aquilla Rune, the Concealment, which seems as though it is actually supposed to be a spell. But on the whole, these are both flavorful and tactically interesting, and I think they add a lot to the game. Splendid work, positively splendid. On a side note, could you possibly release the components of your templates in a format other than Photoshop? For those of us who use GIMP or other freeware image editing? Separate pngs for the back and foregrounds, for instance. I already have my own custom weather rules in my game, and so I'd really love the ability to tweak some of your 'official' spells as well as make my own.

Re: Heroscape, Spells and Runes (1.2.0 Update 03/14/15)
This is a really great idea and the art on the cards is really, really good. However, I'm not sold on the idea of having to use up an order marker to activate many of the cards. I feel like it should be a free action on a turn of a figure who follows that general.

What's come to my mind is that, if we're already printing out 700 crown markers, we might as well be able to use those to keep rack of the number of rounds a spell has been active. That way, spells could last 2 or 3 rounds where appropriate. |
