What Got You Into C3G?

[Crixus33]

Heroscape! :P
Now more seriously, I play C3G rarely, but I enjoy it when I do. SLH was the first time I played but what got me into it was the Iron Man releases on the front page. I like Iron Man, make more metal suits!

I think I would have a hard time getting into C3G if I started now. the list of units is huge and that would mean a lot of catching up to do.

I would like to see more versions of iconic characters. I would much rather see a second Wolverine than a B or C list character I haven't heard of. Its hard to encompass all of a characters traits on one card and I think second versions of recognizable characters help with that. It would probably help generate more excitement for the project too.

I think second versions of some more characters would be a good step too. Probably not too often though, cause I imagine that people would get upset at seeing the same names over and over, but some of the bigger guys deserve them for sure. I wouldn't mind an X-Men Wolverine, complete with the yellow, or brown, suit (but go for a newer mini since the older one has no quality control whatsoever).

Unmounted Ghost Rider would be sick too. Symbiote Spider-Man, although arguably a new figure vs a "II", is up there too.

As fun as B/C-list characters are, and I do feel releases wouldn't be complete without them, they don't really see the light of day within my group. The release happens, we read the cards and think "Man, that's a pretty cool power" and that's that. Off to print Thanos and the Infinity Gems.

What got me into C3G was, the release of the FF4 master set. It was on the front page so it wasn't hard to miss.

I had been lurking for a while, and with the last classic Scape wave in the rear view mirror, I was looking for some new units to try out on the gaming table. I downloaded several of the well known characters and we all had a blast playing them. After that we was hooked. I printed a few dozen each week until I had them all. Then we all looked forward to the next release which was the one with the Hydra and the C3G version Red skull, I believe.

The amount of available units was a great selling point for me.

I always enjoyed making maps, first with Landscape then with Virtualscape. I somehow got noticed and was asked to join the C3G mapmaking group. I have several finalized maps now in that group, including Savage Land - a mega-map of which I'm really proud.

For me, it was...the Closer. My brother introduced it to me..and I'd always been a fan of Super Heroes and Villains even if I had never picked up a comic book prior to joining C3G. More particularly, I have a passion for Mutants and all things Undead, so naturally most of my design choices have revolved around Such things..but when none of them really got chosen I'd pick up a random clix figure that didn't have a design and caught my eye and look them up. I learned to broaden my horizon a bit and the infection spread from there.

You may remember, but I was aware of the C3G when the idea was being brainstormed. I remember commenting that I was looking forward to seeing where it would go, and that if things had been different for me at the time, I likely would have been active in getting it started.

The reason I was immediately interested in it was because I had the Marvel: The Conflict Begins, recognized that it had a very different feel to it than the other heroscape stuff, and wanted more super heroes to add to it. I'd printed off different ones from various designers on this site, and put a couple together myself, and they were fun, but I knew it would be a lot better if everything was designed together within one system.

This doesn't have to do with the question, but I felt like adding it...

Spoiler Alert!

I was really excited when the roster started getting filled out with all of the X-Men, Spider-man, and Batman characters, mainly. I even got most of the other characters that I'd never heard of, because most of the minis are so cheap and I liked the variety. But at this point, I'm about ready to tap out on expanding my collection anymore. Pretty soon I'll probably go through and slim out some figures that I picked up and never really use. The 12 days of Christmas was great, and I tried to keep up with it everyday, but at this point more than half of those figures didn't interest me very much. Batgirl and Nightwing were two of the last figures that I was waiting on (and they were worth the wait)... Although Odin would be a must have too, if the mini wasn't so expensive.

I'll still be following the new releases, but I'll probably seldom add any of them to my collection. Like others have said, having a V2 for a couple more of the popular characters would interest me, even though I can't think of any I care to see at the moment. Added benefit to that is I can use 1 figure for 2 cards.

Valhalla-scape is still my main preference, but now that the super hero roster is so robust, I definitely have interest in playing super-scape more often. For our Christmas heroscape get-together a few weeks ago, we chose to play a 3 teams of 2 superhero game instead of having a Valhalla-scape event. We used C3G equipment glyphs on the board and the Destructible Object/Throwing Object rules for trees, manhole covers, and a car.

Now Destructible Objects are something I'd like to see a little more of, I was actually hoping the 12th day of Christmas was going to be mainly DO's. I remember posting a link to a city set a few years ago that included a mailbox, etc. and was told there were plans to use that pack for DO's.... After a quick search I think this is what it was amazon.com/SceneMaster-O-Scale-City-Accessories

I don't think this is news for you, but I was hooked by the online supers-scape events. I started paying attention between waves 15 and 16.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I think those online events have really paid off for us!

I think it was the 3rd time you asked me to join.
