If the majority of my Scaping these days wasn't playtesting, where I feel kind of like I probably shouldn't use Knockback, I think I'd use it all the time.

I specifically went looking for something like that and missed it . . . .

I'll definitely have to give that a better read once I've got a printed copy. (I read off paper better than off a monitor.)

Edit: I checked again, and I still don't see anything that covers Count Vertigo's interaction with Stealth Flying. I'm not willing to rule out incompetence on my part though . . . .

Definitely. I barely find enough time to playtest, but if I could find more I'd be pitting all these DC heroes against Marvel (mixed and matched of course) with some epic Knockback.

Once we have a few more releases out, I think I'll make sure to find more time for casual play with these.

I stood out on the balcony, flipped the silver zippo I picked up in the guest shop, and looked down on the streets below. The party had begun.

They had done it. The job was finished and they had actually done it. What started as a gaggle of junior high school cheerleader wanna-be's, ended as a cohesive unit of... well, I had to admit, accomplished men.

The self proclaimed "Caped Crusader", the night dwelling big-eyed character with the fancy writing ability, the turkey who thinks he has the heart of a lion, the psycho who cuts open dead bodies, the Aussie with the petting zoo fetish and the gung-ho kid with the Bruce Campbell complex pretty much started the damn assignment and it looked like an insurmountable task. I had to shake my head because they did a hell of a job in calling in the new recruits such as the other Aussie with OCD like tendency to toast everything and everyone, the "collector" and his encyclopedia like memory, the map reader with his delusional beliefs of immortality, and the always on the move old timer and his running shorts.

I thought about the motley crew and laughed to myself. There were others that participated in the plan as well. They even almost slipped a few quality agents in there without me noticing. Almost. But I noticed them all.

I pulled the cigarette from my lips and stared at it for a second. It was one of those foreign brands that that limey agent recommended to me. As I stared at it, thinking of the Brit, my poor recollection of British slang made me think of one of the casualties. The fruity guy with the big smile, the bad brown suit, and the energy of the last kid standing on a dodge ball court had gone missing. Mac had told me that he was scouted by another agent partying it up with some young lass on the left coast. Hmm, I thought, Only two things can really ruin your assignment, you end up dead, or you end up in bed. Either way, you're lying down on the job and somebody from the other team can get the jump on you. I was glad to hear that he was still in the game.

I flicked the cigarette toward the street and I must admit it was sent in the general direction of the Bat on purpose.

"What the..." he smacked the ash on the base of his neck and looked up.

I gave him a wink and pointed to the French maid walking up to him from his left. She moved up close to him and before he could pull away, she kissed him on his left cheek and slipped him a note. Shocked, he opened it.

I grabbed my bags and left the hotel room for the last time. The assignment was over and it turned out that the rookies didn't really need me. I'm not one for the victory party so I slipped away out the back door and off to the airport. I was meeting a certain French maid there and would wait until then to find out how he reacted to the note that said...

"You did it my man, I bow to your leadership. Congratulate all the boys for me, and thank them for not making me spill any blood.

--- M.H."

I'm just lucky that story didn't involve any full moons ...

You know I only show the darker side when we're brawling. Right now, I'm proud of ya.

[GreyOwl]

Too bad I can't rep you for that, Matt Helm. That should've been in the rulebook!

[Hahma]

Guess I'm late to the party. I was actually getting to play Heroscape, and after so much playtesting, my rustiness showed. Thanks ET86 for your patience and taking it easy on me and my all hero army

I was talking up this project at Garylasq's game day event, hopefully I wasn't too obnoxious with my enthusiasm for it. After catching the end of the Vikings/Saints game I was more than thrilled to see the front page artistry of Whitestuff and I knew what that meant.

It's time to party, it's time to party, it's time to party.

Great work team. I'll +rep you all when I have rep to give.

[Hahma]

Great stuff Mr. Helm. We certainly have missed you around these parts and I mean it.

I'm with you on that one!

[Matt Helm]

I've been on here so infrequently that I can't seem to rep anybody.... grrrrrrr!
