Ooh, that'd be fun. Do you think there's a viable build with those two? I'd be interested in trying it out. C3G: Taking Superheroes to a Whole New Level! C3V: The Legacy of Classic 'Scape!

Re: The Book of Hourman (Rick Tyler) - Design Phase
Truth be told Apoc doesn't have to give it away - he could just use it himself with Hourman knowledge.
Aside from that I don't see a ton of cross-synergy between them, so I'd just lean towards Hourman, possibly his wife, and then standard Apoc stuff. Forge is nice for his gem-copying abilities. |

Re: The Book of Hourman (Rick Tyler) - Design Phase
Hey guys, I was putting together some games for Hourman in an Apocalypse build and I came across a couple odd questions:
1) If Apocalypse has the Reality Gem, can he use it and then activate one of his Horsemen? Or does the "before taking a turn with this figure" wording require Apocalypse to take the turn? I thought we already made a ruling on this type of wording, but I can't remember what it was. 2) How does the Glyph of Replicator interact with the Reality Gem? Can you replicate the Reality Gem and then use it? They have the exact same trigger, so I believe you could use the gem after replicating it, but I'm not certain.

That said: Quote:
MIRACLO INJECTIONWhat's the upside of all the extra mechanics or decision making? Quote:
1) No. He'd be required to actually take a turn, not use an "instead of taking a turn" power. 2) Yes. You should be able to replicate it and use it, IMO. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

I guess it comes down to what people think feels more thematic, and/or if the extra mechanics are worth it for the extra theme. What does everyone else think? Quote:

Re: The Book of Hourman (Rick Tyler) - Design Phase
Change the power name to MIRACLO DOSING to go with the streamlined text, and I think that gets across the theme.

Re: The Book of Hourman (Rick Tyler) - Design Phase
Here's a couple games with the current SP. I was trying to abuse his Hourglass power, and while you can make some nasty combos, I'm not too concerned. For the most part, Gypsy can already do anything he can, but better in some cases. I do want to raise the roll on it up to 11 though, just to play it safe, and because I don't want his main build being one that abuses Hourglass.
I didn't bother running any hero or squad tests because half of his design isn't even useful in those games. I do want to play him with Liberty Belle a couple times before looking at moving forward. C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: Hourman Army Test Map: Conflict Chernobyl (no glyphs or special rules) Units: Hourman, Captain Marvel (Batson), Mad Thinker, Vision (1,005 points) VS Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch (Johnny), The Thing (1,000 points)
Spoiler Alert!
___________________________________________________________ Army Test Map: Conflict Chernobyl (no glyphs or special rules) Units: Hourman, Commander Rogers, Joker (I), Oracle, Zombie, Diablo (1,000 points) VS Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Phantom Girl, Lightning Lad, Colossal Boy (1,015 points)
Spoiler Alert!
___________________________________________________________ Army Test Map: Dark Dimensions (no glyphs or special rules) Units: Hourman, Apocalypse (with Reality Gem and Space Gem), Cable, Spider-Girl (1,215 points) VS Yellow Lantern (Sinestro), Yellow Lantern (Arkillo), Sinestro Corp Soldier x5 (1,190 points)
Spoiler Alert!
THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: I didn't play him with Jesse and never really got him into battle yet, so I can't judge him very well. Hourglass is a touch strong right now, but I think upping the roll to 11 will solve that. GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Like above, I've barely gotten to actually use him yet, so I can't really say much. C3G: Taking Superheroes to a Whole New Level!

Re: The Book of Hourman (Rick Tyler) - Initial Playtest Phas
Alright, so while I'm working on my Liberty Belle tests, I want to settle which version of Miraclo we want to go with, so that means poll time!

Re: The Book of Hourman (Rick Tyler) - Initial Playtest Phas
I like A. I think the choice of when to start using the markers is interesting.

Feels needlessly complex and cumbersome (and wordy) to me, rather than letting the elegance of the theme and mechanic buried within the power shine through. B for me. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.
