The Book of Pinhead

[Ronin]

yea

Cool with in-sanctum testing.

[Scapemage]

Yea with in-sanctum testing as well. It'd make a nice Halloween surprise as it is. This also may incline me to give all of the Slashers a try at once!

[Arkham]

Updated the initials with 1 more game, this time having them go up against Cyclops and Mutants. They've had pretty equal wins and losses, so far so good.

[Lazy Orang]

Can Pinhead be one of the Slashers or Tormentors activated by Denizens of Hell?

[johnny139]

Based on the current wording, yes, I don't see any reason why you couldn't. Something we should specify either way if we have the space.

Yea, and I agree with your logic for staying in house here.

[Lazy Orang]

Thought so, just thought it was the sort of thing that needed confirming.

I've been playing it as Pinhead can be one of the chosen to take a turn. We'll have to figure out what wording needs added, because the power does not require the OM reveal to be on Pinhead to use. For example, you can put OM1 on Malice, reveal it, use her bubble unblockable triggered by the reveal, then instead of taking a turn with Malice, you roll 3 dice. If you roll 2 skulls, you could then take a turn with Malice and Leatherface.

We probably want to alter the wording that the OM has to be revealed on a card you control though, as I did realize as written, you could load up Freddy's card and never actually take a turn with him which would mean you'd have a hub that can't be harmed unless he takes a turn and gets pulled out. I opted not to do that in testing since I knew that should be changed.

That doesn't seem an issue to me - the power is still negated the moment Pinhead's killed, so all that effectively does is give you a touch of security in meaning you don't lose those turns and get to use Freddy normally if Pinhead's killed.

Need 1 more vote here.

[IAmBatman]

Finally had a chance to read through some of your test results. Yea.

[Arkham]

This passes.

I trust more experienced testers that have been following the character designs individually to handle it more than a new ally.

Getting my oil changed so I had some spare time. I was breezing through here and this caught my eye. I too was concerned about this very chore with Psimon recently and I was hesitant to post it in the Public but I did anyway and Ericth74 really surprised me. Not only did he track the testing figures results, he tracked the entire faction and did a pretty extensive write-up which was nice. It was actually very helpful to me to see how someone that hadn't been following along with all the designs viewed it. Anyways, If you end up needing an extra tester it may be worth PM'ing him and seeing if he's interested.

Just a thought.
