Re: The Book of Penguin (II) (Initial Playtest)
I thought it was an AND power. You can rearrange OM and move 4 figures. So not like you are wasting an OM.
My thought was that if Penguin was the only Crime Lord in your army and you put all the OM on him to get the initiative bonus and then OM 1 you move for figures around and put the OM on them so that OM 2 and 3 you have on already mobilized figures. I just like that better than a Crime Ally Crook getting to roll and unblockable attack die on Superman. Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Re: The Book of Penguin (II) (Initial Playtest)
Worth noting that OM rearrangement can be very strong when paired with figures that want OMs for OM placement and initiative, but you don't necessarily want to invest your actual turns in once the round starts. The Jokers and Lokis of the world like that kind of thing.

Re: The Book of Penguin (II) (Initial Playtest)
This guy's already providing an initiative boost, and I liked that it's requirements were mostly Joker non compatible, but I'd rather not anything that made that pairing stronger. Joker terrifies me.
That being said, really not feeling the auto-wound. |

Re: The Book of Penguin (II) (Initial Playtest)
We can change it to "Unique" if that's an issue. But that's also why I was proposing the idea that you needed 2 of the figures engaged with the enemy figure, as it's a pack mentality. They are ganging up on them.

Re: The Book of Penguin (II) (Initial Playtest)
If the issue is that all your OMs must be on Crime Lords and Masterminds in order to receive the initiative boost, which means Penguin leading Criminals by himself would require all the OMs still on him to get the boost, I get that. A simple fix would be to require 1 OM on Penguin's card to receive the boost, and if there's no OMs on his card, he takes the negative. It was an oversight on my part not realizing in a Penguin w/ Criminals only army, he'd need all those OMs just to get the boost, thus having no way to actually use the Criminals.

Re: The Book of Penguin (II) (Initial Playtest)
This design is looking good! One question though: would you consider renaming Crime Syndicate to Criminal Syndicate, since Crime Syndicate is an actual thing and one he is not affiliated with?

First and foremost, this design needs to be able to play well both independently and dependently. I don't want to design a 2nd version of Penguin if it's just usable in 1 scenario(drafting many Crime Lords, Criminals, and some Insane). That's pigeonholing him too much, IMO. He needs a degree of versatility to where he plays well in his own army, while also being easily tied into an overall bigger army with other Crime Lords etc. Secondly, this version still caters to playing him with other Gothamites. Keep in mind, we're still tweaking things to make sure it works, but that goal has not been lost. You can still draft Penguin with Two-Face II and the planned Black Mask II, and you'll have access to nearly every Batman rogues gallery member, all synergized and playing well together. That has not changed. With that said, I'm going to take another pass at the most recently suggested power set, and see if I can get it all streamlined and working towards both those goals, then get ready for more testing to be done to ensure it works as intended/desired. Yeah we can revisit the name. |

Re: The Book of Penguin (II) (Initial Playtest)
That could work, but we'd still need Penguin to require 1 on him to obtain the bonus as well, right?
I suppose we could go with something like: Quote:
