"Workbook of Boromir" https://www.heroscapers.com/communit...ad.php?t=57318 and

"Boromir - ROUGH DRAFT" https://www.heroscapers.com/communit...d.php?t=60021?
Would these two concepts compete against each other to be the official version of Boromir? Do we use whichever we like better? How do we determine when a unit is finalized and doesn't need a new design? |
Hi Knox.
As you've noticed, there isn't any real organization or planning with HoME currently.
We lost several of our organizing members, and since then have had a few spurts of creativity but they've all fizzled out again.
My position throughout those periods of new contribution has been that throwing new ideas up isn't a bad thing, since if HoME ever gets off the ground again for real having more content to pull from wouldn't hurt things. I can't speak to the probability of that happening though.
Our original intent was certainly not to have multiple copies of the same finished figure floating around; the duplicates you've observed so far are only rough-draft versions. We never reached the point of having any cards 'completely finished'; the furthest any got were being a few games into play-testing.
Hope that bit of background helps explain the status quo of HoME.
