NAME = GLYPH OF BIFROST
SUBTITLE = START ZONE RETURN

PERMANENT GLYPH
When one of your figures stops here, you must immediately place that figure on any empty space in your Start Zone, if possible. Figures moved by this Glyph will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

Maybe the parenthetical can be (Start Zone Return)?

That's a good suggestion, I'll go with that for now. I was thinking (Figure Displacement) but that's already used.

I tried to design this Glyph so it could be used without Heimdall, and I think it works pretty well and will add some interesting tactical choices with throwers involved in a match. Also if you have Wolverine taking heavy fire it might be nice to jump on here and take a few turns to heal.

[SirGalahad]

It has the potential to make games on longer maps go even longer.

[tcglkn]

That it does, but unless you are an a-hole, you aren't gonna throw someone onto it without having a tactical reason for doing so. Besides Knockback (which you should always think of where you are placed when Knockback rules are in place), there are few ways a character would accidentally land on the Glyph so I don't think this is much of an issue. That is my on the issue, feel free to dispute it further.

[SirGalahad]

No dispute, just observation.

Cool simple idea for a "retreat" glyph of sorts. I like the "start zone return" subtitle. I always enjoy permanent glyphs that are light touches like this. And the idea of it sending you "home" seems to hold up thematically.

I love this glyph. Great idea Tickle. This can be a great blessing when you need to retreat or a great hindrance when you accidentally step on it while trying to advance. I love it. It is a blessing/trap rolled into one.

Simple & effective . Nice one tcglkn.

[tcglkn]

Thanks A3n. I really just came up with a cool power for the Bifrost Bridge on Heimdall that needed a Glyph marker for the battlefield (not unlike Mirror Master) and then I figured I could just design a cool Glyph to go with it so I did. And I love how it turned out.
