The Book of Michael Myers

[Arkham]

Name can always be debated if desired. It's a memorable line from the first movie.

The Boogeyman or The Shape would also be fitting choices that call out to the series. We could go with something more generic though if we feel the power will be re-used.

This passes.

The game felt pretty even. Myers failed all 5 of his unblockable rolls, which is pretty unlucky, but overall the game felt pretty honest and straight forward. Each side could have won and it came close in the end. Michael did about what you'd expect damage wise for his points, if not slightly underperforming.

Another close finish. Michael didn't play the biggest factor here, only amounting to 2 wounds, but he missed a couple of his Stalking rolls and rolled low on his 1 attack he attempted. Overall though, the match felt close and once again was anyone's game there at the end. So no complaints there.

Gamora with 4/5 wounds, and Michael with 4/5 wounds.

Doesn't get much closer than that. In the end it was Wolverine vs. Michael on his "2nd life" and Gamora. Wolverine got both down to 1 life each, but was killed by Gamora before he could finish the job. Michael had a bit more success here, with a nice attack roll of 3 skulls doubled into 6, thanks to height and Cap. He also managed to get a couple unblockables in.

Gamora with 3/5 wounds, Star-Lord with 3/5 wounds, and Nebula unwounded.

This felt like it could go either way, but the Guardians proved dominant. They managed to get rid of Cap, Blob, and Angel, who can be a tough nut to crack, all while Myers and Jason were dealing auto-wounds. They stuck in long enough, took out Jason, Jason missed his roll to come back when he needed it, which left Myers high and dry to get killed last thus avoiding One Good Scare.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY:
The design feels pretty accurate to how the character is portrayed. With 3 losses and 1 win, almost all were close games, it's hard to tell if that was due to him, or just due to the other armies being superior with more raw attack power? Regardless, he's feeling good, and I hope to make him a little more effective when introducing the Slasher synergy with Pinhead. I'd say you can't go wrong taking him at 135, but we'll have to let Public Playtests show if any tweaks are necessary.

[Yodaking]

Glad you are liking how he is playing. I really am digging the One Last Scare power. Just reading the report and seeing him pop back up after you thought you already killed him is pretty cool on theme.

[Arkham]

I propose a vote to move Michael Myers to Public Playtesting.
@Tornado - yea
@Yodaking - yea

[Tornado]

Yea

[Ronin]

yea

Looking good.

[japes]

Yea

[Scapemage]

Games look great! Glad One Good Scare is working just as intended. Yea

[Yodaking]

yea

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Looks like the Armies he went up against always had a little more synergy than his Army, so 1-3 isn't that bad. Yea, especially if you, who know him best, are happy with 1-3.

[Arkham]

I hope for Pinhead to beef up unblockables/d20 rolls for Slashers, so he'll get better with the right leader helping him out. I also think he's fine at 135 even as-is. He's got decent potential, he just didn't do amazing in my own games.

[Tornado]

His static powers make him and Jason nice choices for any army really.

Jason is really nice with the Dark Judges.
