C3G Dredd'verse workshop

[Soundwarp SG-1]

The power is 'after revealing and taking a turn' so like even if getting an OM unrevealed immediately let you re-reveal it for a turn, which I don't think it does, you're definitely not getting to do that here currently.

[Tornado]

Cool.
Overall good with this direction?
Would be open to suggestions along what Ronin was saying.
He is looking rather passive which is not totally his style.

[Tornado]

Any thoughts on how to turn this into a story card?

JUDGEMENT DAY
Start the game with 5 destroyed Walker figures. Destroyed Walker figures do not add to your total figure count. If Sabbat is destroyed, destroy all Undead figures you control.

LODESTONE
At the beginning of each round you must choose a figure you control in your start zone and destroy it. If you do not destroy a figure, Sabbat may not roll for defense for the rest of the game. At the end of each round you may place two destroyed Walker figures on any empty spaces that are not in a start zone and are not adjacent to an opponent's figure.

MAGICAL DEFENSE


Judgement Day opens with Sabbat, in an unknown location underground, beginning to raise the dead. Judge Dredd is one of the first people to encounter the zombies while leading a group of cadets (including Cadet Giant), on a training mission in the Cursed Earth. Although Dredd leads the cadets back to the relative safety of Mega-City One, Judge Perrier (Dredd's main sidekick during Ennis' tenure on writing for the strip) is killed only yards from home.
On his arrival Dredd is informed that the dead are rising all over the world. Minor foreign Judges from earlier Dredd strips are shown protecting their respective cities - Judge Armour in Brit-Cit, Judge-Sergeant Joyce in Murphyville, Judge Bruce in Oz, etc. Mega-City One, due to Necropolis, finds itself facing the largest number of zombies: sixty million. Soon into the battle for Mega-City One, Dredd's protégé Judge Dekker is also killed and Dredd has to give the order to set fire to part of the cities' wall to hold back the zombies.

I could see a mechanic where you keep regenerating Zombies until a breakable wall section is destroyed (set on fire) in order to stop the regeneration. I guess it'd have to be a card draftable by the Undead player that gives them that regeneration power that they lose when the wall is destroyed.

[Tornado]

That is a.cool idea.
In the comic they have to battle their way in and then Dredd is able to impale Sabbat on the Lodestone. Destroying the Lodestone itself would destroy the planet but that is hard to quantify in a boardgame.

Summoner Wars?

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, if the Zombies have to break the wall to get to you, that's Dead of Winter.

STORY CARD

POINTS = ???

STORY REQUIREMENTS =
- Satanus in your army.

STORY SETUP =
Satanus is considered to have the size and height of huge 20.

STORY RULES =

SUPER-SIZED
Add 2 to the Attack number on the card of Satanus. Destructible Objects without a Move number roll two less defense dice against attacks from Satanus.

FIRE BREATH SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 5.
Choose a figure to attack. Any figures adjacent to the chosen figure are also affected by this special attack except Satanus. If Satanus inflicts 1 or more wounds on a figure with this special attack, after placing those wounds, you may roll 1 unblockable attack die against that figure. Figures with the Lava Resistant special power are not affected by this special attack.

RESILIENCE
If Satanus would receive one or more wounds from an enemy figure's attack, special power, or leaving engagement attack, ignore one of those wounds.


For reference.

NAME = SATANUS

SPECIES = DINOSAUR
UNIQUENESS = EVENT HERO
CLASS = DEVOURER
PERSONALITY = FEROCIOUS

SIZE/HEIGHT = HUGE 12

LIFE = 9

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 7
DEFENSE = 6

POINTS = 350

CHOMPING FRENZY 12
Instead of moving and attacking normally with Satanus, you may move Satanus up to 5 spaces. Each time Satanus enters a space, as long as he is on a space where he may end his movement, you may choose an adjacent figure. If the chosen figure has only one Life remaining, destroy it. Otherwise, roll the 20-sided die. Subtract 2 from the roll if the chosen figure has the Super Strength special power. If you roll 12 or higher, the chosen figure receives 2 wounds. Satanus cannot choose the same figure more than once and will take any leaving engagement attacks when using this special power.

SUPERSTRENGTH


Bio:
Thoth is a character from the 2000 AD strip Nemesis the Warlock. An extremely powerful warlock with the ability to warp time and space itself, and the mind of an angry three-year-old, he was the son of Nemesis and Chira. His hatching was a joyful occasion, attended by Warlocks including Nemesis' Great Uncle Baal and Baal's friend Ashtar. Thoth spent the first hours of his life happily playing with his father's familiar Grobbendonk.
Shortly after Thoth was hatched, Ashtar's daughter Magna betrayed him and his mother to the anti-alien bigots known as the Terminators, because she wanted Nemesis to marry her instead. Chira was killed, having used all her magical power to defend her son, and a grief-stricken Nemesis believed that Thoth had also perished.
Thoth was in fact very much alive and well. He had used the powers his mother had transferred to him to make his mother's murderer, Sir Hargan believe — initially, at least — that he was a cute little human baby. (In other words, he saw Thoth as his mother had seen him.) Thoth went to live with Sir Hargan and his wife on Termight. The infant warlock amused himself by defenestrating Hargan from his stalscraper, letting him plummet thousands of feet, saving him an inch from the ground and hauling him back to the window to do it again... and again...
Thoth made it his mission in life to avenge his mother, and also get revenge on Nemesis for deserting him. He started by transporting Torquemada (who had ordered Chira's death) from the past into the future, where Torquemada had been dead for ten years. The evil bigot was promptly arrested on a charge of impersonating himself. The new ruler of Termight, Grand Dragon Mazarin, realised that Torquemada was the real McCoy but had him publicly executed as an imposter anyway, in case his reappearance disturbed the populace and their new-found reconciliation with aliens. Watching the execution from his window with avid interest, Thoth put Torquemada in a time loop so that he burned to death repeatedly.

Thoth's next action was to summon the black tyrannosaur Satanus from the Cursed Earth, a region located in a time lost in the mists of Termight's history, because he wanted a pet. Sir Hargan's fate is unrecorded, but he was last seen gazing in terror at the huge carnivorous monster in his apartment. Nemesis, meanwhile, had been alerted by Purity Brown to the fact that Thoth might still be alive. Realising what Magna had done, he killed her and set off for Termight to locate his son. When Nemesis found Thoth, Thoth made Satanus breathe fire at him (a new power he had equipped him with) and then vanished.
Also Thoth made him huge-r.

[IAmBatman]

I'm a bit confused how the special attack works. Is Satanus getting the special attack?

[Tornado]

Yes, that is the intention.
Not sure if it works that way.

[IAmBatman]

You probably need to do a Judge Hershey type of thing there.

[Tornado]

Maybe I will just tweak it into a special power. I liked the reuse.
Thanks.
