_________________________________________________________________

Glyph Bio - Most commonly used by the infamous mercenary known as Deadpool, this teleportation device is perfect for stealth operations where there is an emphasis on reaching certain locations in a timely manner and avoiding detection. Thanks to the hands-free nature of this item being a belt, it is not easily taken from the wearer: except, of course, upon death .

SUBTITLE = TELEPORTATION 3

INVENTION EQUIPMENT GLYPH
After moving this figure normally, you may choose any empty space within 3 spaces of this figure. Place this figure on the chosen space. When this figure starts to Teleport it will not take any leaving engagement attacks. This figure cannot lose this Glyph by receiving wounds.

Spoiler Alert!

IMO, we should use Tul-Bak-Ra's Teleportation mechanic, though maybe with a few fewer spaces:

"Teleportation: Instead of moving Tul-Bak-Ra normally, you may choose any empty space that is on the same level and within 10 spaces of Tul-Bak-Ra. Place Tul-Bak-Ra on the chosen space. When Tul-Bak-Ra starts to Teleport, if he is engaged he will not take any leaving engagement attacks."

So, Instead of moving this figure normally, you may choose any empty space that is on the same level and within [4-7?] spaces of this figure. Place this figure on the chosen space. When this figure starts to Teleport, if it is engaged it will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

I used similar wording, but I think it is boring if all Teleportations are exactly the same. I think it is cool to see Deadpool run and then 'poof' where did he go? 'Slice' he is behind you. Also, I really really really hate powers that require "same level", besides, that type of limitation on teleportation doesn't feel very super to me.

[IAmBatman]

Is his teleportation here worded the same as Nightcrawler's? I agree that holding teleportation to same level spaces isn't ideal.

C3G PLAY TEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE TEST UNIT GLYPHS: Cosmic Control Rod, Shrinking Ray Gun, Teleportation Belt, and the Negative Portal Zone

- THEME TEST/ Check to see if there are any powers or stats on the test unit card that does not accurately reflect the theme or likeness of what the character would and could do. Also consider destructible objects, and whether or not this characters powers should affect them.
PASS

PASS

- BONDING TEST/ Compare the unit card with all possible currently existing Bonding abilities to make sure there are no continual Bonding possibilities that do not stop appropriately or do not stop at all. This is to prevent loops in Bonding.

PASS

Map: Ravaged Road
Units: Superman, GL (Hal), and Flash VS Wolverine, Deadpool, and Doomsday

Spoiler Alert!

Superman uses his X-ray vision to scout the Shrinking Ray Gun, and so he moves towards it. Doomsday leaps up into the air and falls on the Negative Zone Portal suddenly he is where Superman is and Superman is where Doomsday was... Superman is confused and disoriented. Superman cannot get back to the Ray gun, so he scopes out the nearest Glyph and finds the Teleportation Belt and takes it, then "poof" teleports towards the other glyphs. Deadpool goes after a glyph as well. Then Superman starts heading back to where the Ray Gun is and uses his Teleportation Belt to get height over Doomsday. Deadpool gets the Cosmic Control Rod, and then Flash zips on over and takes the Ray gun, then zips over a bit more and Shrinks Deadpool from a distance. Deadpool cannot climb up with his height of 0, but he can fall 1 space and takes damage for it LOL. Then he shoots Flash on height for 3 skulls and lands them all, so Flash drops his gun. Then he hits Flash again, but this time Flash dodges away. Flash runs up on even level with Deadpool (because with a melee attack on height will not work on Deadpool who has a height of 0) and hits Deadpool for some wounds which he will continue to heal off all game long. Flash goes and grabs the Control rod from the ground and zaps Doomsday with it. Deadpool picks up the Shrinking gun and zaps Superman and he also shoots Flash which triggers heroic Duty and Superman takes a wound for the leaving engagement from DDay and drops the Teleportation belt. Deadpool eventually gets the belt and uses it to get in position to put 3 wounds on GL and at one point, he set Superman up for the Heroic Duty again. Flash as a Scientist new exactly how to weild the Control Rod and so he was tagging Deadpool, Wolverine and Doomsday all game with it. He got Wolverine down to one life with it, but Wolverine finally got an Order Marker and cut Flash down. Superman punched Flashes lights out, then Dooms day jumped in and started pounding Superman but he died shortly afterwards to a nice Green Lantern Frenzy. Deadpool droped his Belt off in nice hiding place and got the control Rod and killed Green Lantern, then Superman and Deadpool went toe to toe, and once Superman got the Control Rod away from Deadpool, it was over.

Superman wins with 6 out of 7 wounds.

I like the break from the same level teleporting.

[IAmBatman]

Me too. And I like how this is way different than the Boom Tube is.

[Griffin]

I propose that all of these glyphs go to the ERB phase: Cosmic Shielding, Shrinking Ray Gun, Teleportation Belt, and the Negative Portal Zone

[IAmBatman]

Thanks for doing them in a group, and yea!

[whitestuff]

Yea
The potential for good game stories from these glyphs is quite high I think.

Excellent stuff Griff.

[IAmBatman]

Yep - I think that, like we tried to with World's Finest, we should mostly give each player objectives in a scenario and then let the glyphs and maps and armies do most of the rest of the work.
The fewer additional scenario rules we add (I like "Recruit the Bat" but don't want a scenario like that) the better.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Yea with the caveat that you mean Cosmic Control Rod not Cosmic Shielding, since you have propoesed that elsewhere.
