The Book of Batman (Bruce Wayne) (II)

[IAmBatman]

Hopefully I'll get this started tomorrow, but might take until midweek. By next Saturday night, I'm hoping to have both this and Awesome Android done with their initials.

I'm not in any hurry on Awesome Android right now.

[IAmBatman]

K, I'll prioritize this, then, but I'm still going to try not to leave you waiting long.

[IAmBatman]

OK, I laughed! I think I owe you an Order Marker.

Great stuff as always!

Thanks,
Bats

I like the timing of this, as it allows Batman to size the battlefield before equipping the glyphs.

I wondered if the second sentence was necessary or redundant. However, if Shadow Thief or Black Cat takes a glyph, I'm not certain Batman would be able to retrieve it if the sentence wasn't included. Great job!

My standard ERB practice has been to delete designs once I completed the ERB, because it allows me to forget the abilities. Since joining EPB, I no longer have the benefit of amnesia. So I've held onto the Utility Glyph write ups for this moment. I can see uses for each glyph, and I actually would like to equip more than the 3 glyphs allowed, which is what I was hoping would happen. That means that drafting Batman presents you with a tough decision to make from the start, and that's always fun. This will only get better as you add more Utility Glyphs, which I hope you will do in the future.

Shadow Strike 15

When moving the 3 spaces, could Batman Bat-Grapple if he has the glyph? I can't remember whether or not this constitutes a normal move. I'm thinking no.

I'm not certain that you need the comma after "Batman takes no damage".

The Shadow Tile bonus is a nice touch.

Final Thoughts

Love the design, and I love the ability to select the starting Utility Glyphs. Here are some other Utility Glyphs to consider:

Nintendo: Roll the d20 before taking a turn. 1-4, the turn immediately ends while you play Mario Kart.

Snack: When you equip this Glyph, you receive 6 Triscuits. Write B-A-T-M-A-N on the Triscuits with EZ Cheese. After revealing an Order Marker on this figure, eat a Triscuit. If there are no Triscuits, this figure gains +2 to attack and defense for the remainder of the game.

Batusi: After revealing an Order Marker on this card, dance the Batusi. If your opponent laughs, remove one unrevealed Order Marker from any of your opponent's cards.

Whoops: Roll the 20-sided die. Of you roll a 1, you immediately lose the game. Whoops!

Backscratcher: In case he runs into Bane.

Great stuff as usual from David, extra funny though

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Man, I love me some triscuits and EZ cheese!!! I know Bats and Griff already knew that though.

[A3n]

Looking good.

Mini 4: We did the Grey & Black, I want to see the Grey & Blue here, but not in scuba gear.
Comic 6: to match the mini.

[Griffin]

3 wins! Just kidding.

[IAmBatman]

Tests updated through squad tests. I'm liking 250 so far, but only with a slight change to the First Aid Kit glyph (I'll post over there, but basically I'd prefer to see it heal only one wound. It's still plenty of an impact and I still want to take it into battle every time).

I'll inform the Sidekicks that the first to pm me gets to place a tie-breaking vote!

[Margloth]

He's looking like a ton of fun!

[IAmBatman]

Scapey has cast the tie-breaking vote for mini 4!

Now there's just the question of whether anyone has that mini?

[Margloth]

I have it.
