Ironically I taught in a Graphic Design program for a long while. I taught the interactive design component. Teaching others to use Photoshop was a natural part of this as most interactive/web design work is done with it. Designing for print is a lot less familiar to me. But somehow I figured out the basics of InDesign along the way. Packaging up my work for publication here is a good exercise in putting together a more polished product...which is a remarkable amount of work. |

EDIT: It was actually quite a bit longer ago than I thought...wow time files...It was back in 2012. Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

In our attempt to appeal to a broad range of players, especially the rules lawyers on this site, we went a bit overboard trying to cover every single situation that the rules would create. All in all they are actually extremely simple rules. I just made them more complicated than the needed to be. Anyway, it's on my ever growing to do list…….

Re: McMeeple's Custom Building Terrain: 3 Part Mechanic Shop
Here is one vote for a re-visit to the ITF rules.
My only concern with overpower was when smashing another figure with an ITF. It was super powerful but incredibly cool and added a whole other layer of strategy and there is quite cooler than smashing a bunch of caped crusaders on top of a skyscraper with a taker truck. Epic. I think Grish is right though, that over time you learn how to avoid getting smashed. I think I may try to destroy ITFs before or while being carried. Having ITFs and/or DOs adds so much to the game play A cloud can change its semblance, yet retain its will With the intimacy of destruction, One knows what it is to be alive The empty sky holds no reflection, for sorrow - Eslo Rudkey |

This is how big my ideas feel sometimes:
And then I remember that I am married and want to remain that way. |

Well, after years (yes years) I finally came across a couple of play sets in the right scale and price point to justify getting into the ITF world. They are the Fast Lane Super Playsets from Toys R Us and I found a few Vehicles that I think are from Walmart's Adventure Wheels line in the 1/43 scale. That with a few building sets I picked up years ago and I have a solid Set for Super Hero battles. That said this weekend will be my first run with that rule set, and I would be happy to post feedback if it is welcome. So vote 3 (or 4) to a revisit. |

Re: McMeeple's Custom Building Terrain: 3 Part Mechanic Shop
I don't know what it took me so long, but I finally put all the buildings I have made thus far on the same map just to see how it looked. I have been doing small skirmishes with my son and hadn't yet setup anything like this.
I have to be honest, it didn't feel nearly as epic as I expected. So I went and got my work in progress (Oroku Saki Tower from TMNT). This thing is huge. It's truly amazing how the sky scrappers really bring the epic factor that I had expected. Even without the artwork it totally changes things (stupid printer is out of ink and will cost $100 to refil...sadness). What I learned from this:
I have been working on these buildings off and on since January. Needless to say this is an absurd amount of work to play a game...but man is it worth it. Perhaps it will be ready by next January. |

Re: McMeeple's Custom Building Terrain: 3 Part Mechanic Shop
I'd love to discuss the rules. Perhaps I should go over to my old terrain thread and not clutter up McMeeples building thread though!
