WINTER 2024: Those individuals with a 'particular set of skills' can sometimes find they need to take full time work within organizations of ill repute. Those individuals who run such endeavors are likewise always on the look out to add exceptionally skilled individuals to the payroll. As such it can be a good match for both until things take a turn for the worse, then it's time to move on to better things.

Can Story cards be common cards? I could see using 2 of these in a team.

[Karat]

I think for the prologue you could just say:

You control 1+ Unique Hero Mercenary or Assassin and 1+ Crime Lord, Mastermind, or Genius.

For the setup you could probably do:

Choose 1 Unique Hero Mercenary or Assassin and the Class of Criminal or Terrorist. The chosen Hero has the chosen Class for the entire game instead of what is on its card.

Then for Story Rules:

If this figure is the last figure you control, remove it from the game.

I'm not sure if we can have common story cards but Bats did mention wanting to discuss the possibility of those.

Thanks @Karat

I propose a vote for initial playtesting

Choose 1 Unique Hero that is a Mercenary or Assassin and the Class of Criminal or Terrorist. The chosen Hero has the chosen Class for the entire game instead of what is on its card.



isn't this what we typically say?

[Yodaking]

Dig the concept. Not sure about common status. Might need a little more testing if you can pull multiple new figures into a new synergy web to see if anything can be exploited.

[Arch-vile]

Cool theme for a card, I like it. 10 points for a class change seems pretty reasonable and should give villainous armies some nice additional crossover and flexibility. I think it'd be fine as a common if you wanted to pursue that route.

OP is missing some formatting. yea once that gets fixed.

I'd do the prologue like this, mirroring Beam Struggle. Not sure you control anything before placing figures.

STORY PROLOGUE =
- At least 1 Unique Hero on your team must be an Assassin or Mercenary.
- At least 1 Unique Hero on your team must be a Crime Lord, Genius, or Mastermind.

I changed the ordering of the Assassin/Merc to make it alphabetical. I don't think we need "for the entire game" - there's no way to lose Story Cards, so this will never not be active. So I just erased those words.

STORY SETUP =
- Choose 1 Unique Hero that is an Assassin or Mercenary and the Class of Criminal or Terrorist. The chosen Hero has the chosen Class instead of what is on its card.

I changed "this figure" to "the chosen Hero".

NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR
If the chosen Hero is the last figure you control, remove it from the game.

[Tornado]

Yea

[japes]

yea

I'm fine either way. Testing it as common or just letting them hire 1 figure. Very slight lean toward unique just for testing purposes and future possibilities. I love being able to add a figure into those armies though.

[IAmBatman]

Agreed with Archie on wording.

I'd be fine with someone being able to draft multiples of these. I'm a bit unclear how Story Card would work as commons versus uncommons. Do the abilities trigger separately on each card if they're common?

yea for testing either way.

[Karat]

I think Commons would just be a mass of these and you'd burn/use one of them at a time kind of thing and probably could just meet the conditions once to draft multiples but an Uncommon you'd need a new figure that meets the condition to draft more of and otherwise would function as if it were a Unique IMO.

Yea for testing.
