CHCG24 Discussion Thread
The Classic Heroscape Customs Guild 24 Hour Thread Where your customs are critiqued to perfection in only 24-Hours. Our Mission: - To create a workable directory of customs that are ready to be used by any group or player. - To have a set of quality guaranteed, balanced customs with no errors and are as official as possible. The Process: The CHCG24 process focuses on speed and excellence in its critique. In this regard we do not worry about the exact point value of the custom being 100% accurate, but rather that it is playable and within 5-10 points which more, time-consuming play-testing will dictate. Our goal is to quickly and effectively critique and correct any errors on a chosen card. This process DOES NOT include adding new abilities or large scale changes to the Army Card. The process DOES, however, include smaller changes including, but not limited to: rewordings, graphic changes, changes in points, stats changes of 1 or 2, left box details, etc. Unfortunately, if many creators start suggesting large scale changes because the card is not thematically accurate, too overpowered, too unbalanced, etc. then the nomination must be withdrawn because of too many flaws. This is a reviewing process for previously critiqued works, not rough drafts. The process for a specific card is over when three individual members who have been active in the thread give a "thumbs up to the card. A thumbs up may be given by these: OR the words "Thumbs up!". Once a card is CHCG24'd, a new card must be nominated. The process to nominate a card is described below in bold. To the Creator: Once your card has been nominated and you agree to the process, you must be able to make a small commitment to update the card regularly throughout the 1-4 day process. This is to ensure that the process moves along smoothly without huge delays. When you are nominated choose another card by a custom creator and send them a PM to find out if they are interested in going though the process. This will reduce the delay between cards. The Rules and Timeframe: 1. You cannot nominate your own card. 2. The creator has 1 day to OK his/her custom for review once it has been posted for nomination. 3. After the creator has OK'd it, the process must be completed in 5 days. If there is not 3 thumbs up in 5 days, another card is nominated by anyone and we move on. 4. If the process completes in under 5 days, immediately start the next process. Closing Notes: - Remember that even though you may love a card, the creator may not have the time to go through the process and its nomination may be withdrawn. You CAN nominate a card again, but try to wait for the creator to be more active. - If your entry is withdrawn for any reason please don't get mad or blame someone. Sometimes things just happen. If you stay active for sure you will get another chance. - When posting a card for review try to copy the format found below for consistency and accuracy. - Good luck to all creators!! Example Nomination: Rock Construct by tcglkn This was posted Month Day, Year at HR:MIN. Process ends: Day of Week, Month Day, Year at HR:MIN Passed Cards: CHCG24 Display Thread Logos:
Spoiler Alert!

Re: CUC - The Custom Unit Creators
OK, I'll bite. For those of us not familiar with the C3G rules/system, can you please explain?

Re: CUC - The Custom Unit Creators
There are way to many to explain. I linked you to the C3G in the OP take a look at it.

Re: CUC - The Custom Unit Creators
It might be easier to do an NM24 style of thread.

Re: CHCG24 Discussion Thread
I think this is a good start. I would thicken the text. The logo looks a little empty.

Also, do we want to limit it to just Classic i.e. no D&D sculpts? Or will we also be able to nominate cards with those sculpts? Also will we be nominating from this customs forum only or will we also nominate from the D&D forum? Last edited by Hidicul; June 14th, 2010 at 10:45 PM. |

CHCG24 Discussion Thread
I would like to start this as something like the NM24, but move on to doing something like the C3G and have fully compatible customs. Who runs the NM24 so I can PM them about their bylaws? Also any suggestions on a good name for this? Preferably something with 4 letters to be searchable.

Re: CUC - The Custom Unit Creators
You could call it the Classic Heroscape Customs Guild or CHCG.
If you start off like NM24, just call that thread the CHCG24 thread. Here are the "rules" for NM24: The 24-Hour Customs Thread Where your customs are critiqued to perfection in only 24-Hours. Our Mission: - To create a workable directory of customs that are ready to be used by any group or player. - To have a set of quality guaranteed, balanced customs with no errors and are as official as possible. The Process: The NM24 process focuses on speed and excellence in its critique. In this regard we do not worry about the exact point value of the custom being 100% accurate, but rather that it is playable and within 5-10 points which more, time-consuming play-testing will dictate.

This is a reviewing process for previously critiqued works, not rough drafts. The process for a specific card is over when three individual members give a "thumbs up to the card. A thumbs up may be given by these smileys: , OR the words "Thumbs up!", "Good to go," etc. Once a card is NM24'd, a new card must be nominated. The process to nominate a card is described below in bold. To the Creator: Once your card has been nominated and you agree to the process, you must be able to make a small commitment to update the card regularly throughout the 1-4 day process. This is to ensure that the process moves along smoothly without huge delays. After your process has been completed, please post a new card to undergo the process. If the creator of the new card DOES NOT post within 24 Hours saying it is OK for his/her card to go through the process, PLEASE post another card from a different creator. Try to use people's cards who are active at the time. Before a creator posts to say it is OK, others are still permitted to give their opinions on the card and thumbs if appropriate, just know that the custom may still be withdrawn. The Rules and Timeframe: 1. You cannot nominate your own card. 2. The creator has 1 day to OK his/her custom for review once it has been posted for nomination. 3. After the creator has OK'd it, the process must be completed in 5 days. If there is not 3 thumbs up in 5 days, another card is nominated by anyone and we move on. 4. If the process completes in under 5 days, immediately start the next process.

You CAN nominate a card again, but try to wait for the creator to be more active. - If your entry is withdrawn for any reason please don't get mad or blame someone. Sometimes things just happen. If you stay active for sure you will get another chance. - When posting a card for review try to copy the format found HERE for consistency and accuracy. - Good luck to all creators!! |

Re: CUC - The Custom Unit Creators
The danger is anything is open in the world of Scape where as in Super heros you have what is available from Heroclixs and known superheroes.
You would want to start with a limited list so that it is possible to keep it managable. For example Use HorrorClix figs only for your first "Booster" and make them relatable to classic scape. For example there is a Future Samurai, Cat-woman with sword, and a few zombies. These would make for a good start. Keeping it small and widely avalible is smart. Also make sure you have a core group that is dedicated to the idea, and really willing to make it work. Good luck. |
