Re: The Book of Chucky (Charles Lee Ray) (Initial Playtestin
Personally, that direction as a horror movie faction lynch pin doesn't excite me at all, but don't let me derail you here as my interest in the horror movie faction is pretty limited. I would have thought someone like the Crypt Keeper that I saw being discussed somewhere would have been the card to pull all the different horror movie guys together into one army. I guess Chucky is one of the more chatty and personable horror movie villains so I guess he would have the personality to become a leader of murders, but now I want to see him destroy the Ventriloquist dummy and take over as a crime boss in Gotham.

Re: The Book of Chucky (Charles Lee Ray) (Initial Playtestin
Child's Play is awesome! I worry that stacking immunity to attacks and Play Dead, but it might be more okay than I'm making it out to be in my head.
Like Superheroes and Comics?

Re: The Book of Chucky (Charles Lee Ray) (Initial Playtestin
Honestly, I think Child's Play is more about Chucky receiving synergy from Slashers than giving them that much. He can't really be an Order Marker hub very well due to the adjacency requirements. I think he's more of a Robin than a Professor X when it comes to the faction, if that makes sense.
As for the competitive side of things, I think the potentially worrisome thing, is that his card basically forces you to kill him last in an army that's good at resurrecting. That should stack fairly effectively, I'd think. Maybe the first power should only protect him if the Slasher is adjacent, just to make it a bit less "kill the entire Army first and then hope they don't resurrect before you kill Chucky." C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Chucky (Charles Lee Ray) (Initial Playtestin
I don't know how I feel about making one of the Slashers so... factional. Doesn't Chucky generally go on solo killing sprees in his films? I think there could be such a thing as too much synergy for this faction. I prefer the idea of Chucky as a lone-agent, filler hero killer, someone I could fit in as a filler for any villain army, even if it's perhaps encouraged to take him with other Slashers.
That being said, I don't know the character. How often does he pair up with other killers? Could you give me a summary of some of his more iconic films/storylines? |

Re: The Book of Chucky (Charles Lee Ray) (Initial Playtestin
Well in an army setting like in the world of Superheroscape, I could see his desire to partner up with another killer who, for lack of a better word, could carry him. I think that's what Child's Play is all about and why it works for Psychopaths as well as Slashers.
The only one that I think is thematically dubious in terms of factional connections is Inanimate Deception. I could see making that an adjacent figure you control rather than being factional (and rather than being anyone in clear sight). C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Chucky (Charles Lee Ray) (Initial Playtestin
Inanimate Deception could drop the specific classes.
This is just a direction. Still looking for suggestions and open to any ideas. |

Re: The Book of Chucky (Charles Lee Ray) (Initial Playtestin
Just a thought, but how about this, running off the idea that was run in the playtest, but also taking a cue from the original design and making him more of a passive, 'plays himself' type, and a bit scarier:
NAME = CHUCKY SECRET IDENTITY = CHARLES LEE RAY SPECIES = DOLL UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = SLASHER PERSONALITY = INSANE SIZE/HEIGHT = SMALL 3 LIFE = 3 MOVE = 4 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 3 DEFENSE = 2 POINTS = 105 CHILD'S PLAY At the start of the game, place a white Inanimate Marker on this card. While the Inanimate Marker is on this card, Chucky is never considered engaged and cannot be targeted by an enemy figure for attacks or special powers. Before taking a turn with Chucky, if the Inanimate Marker is on this card, you must remove it. At the end of each round, you must, if possible, choose an adjacent figure and roll an unblockable attack die against that figure. If the Inanimate Marker is on this card, you must remove it and roll one additional die. PHANTOM WALK Chucky can move through all figures and is never attacked when leaving an engagement. CLINGY After a figure ends its movement, if that figure was adjacent to Chucky during its movement, you may immediately place Chucky adjacent to that figure, if possible. PLAY DEAD If Chucky would be destroyed, instead place one wound on this card and, if he is not the only figure you control on the battlefield, place the Inanimate Marker on this card. *********** A little rough, but the basic idea is making his whole 'Child's Play' threat about the passive threat of auto-wounds rather than having to feed him an OM for a single attack of 3 +1 auto. |

Re: The Book of Chucky (Charles Lee Ray) (Initial Playtestin
I just think the back and forth between marker and no marker is the part that’s meh. Once that marker comes off he’s just boring. When the marker is on, he’s essentially a figure taking up a spot. Chucky should be crazy and blood thirsty. I don’t even need him to last the whole game, I just want to have fun using him. Not sure that accomplishes that, and the 2 unblockables at once is probably a little overkill.
Basically, I feel like I'm leaning more away from him being this stealthy inanimate object after he's shown his cards. The marker system plays it up too much repeatedly going back to it. Once his cards are shown, I'd like him to be more elusive and kill crazy than "I'm just a doll" type approach. Let him make the first strike, but once that is done, I'd like him to have a role worth drafting. I suppose that's where teaming him up with other Psychopaths and Slashers came in. |

I like that approach Arkham. Go down in a blaze of glory!
Just got a weird vision of Michael throwing Chucky at someone, ala Fastball Special. |

What a Good Ready Player One Line
COMPETITIVE REVIEW BOARD CHECKLIST
Competitive Concerns Does the design offer worrisome Order marker movement or efficiency? Clingy is amazing. Does the design offer superior Auto wounding? No. Does the design cause the prevention of abilities (Blob, Polaris, Meteorite)? No. Does the design move other figures? No. Does the design boost other figures (outside of a narrowly defined set)? No. Does the design have one or more excellent defensive powers? Play Dead and the Inanimate Marker make it so he's unlikely to die prematurely Does the design auto destroy or take control of other figures in a way that unbalances the design? No. Does the design have any other concerns? He could put a real bruising on support figures especially when you can activate him without putting an order marker on him. Summary of Any Competitive Concerns/Suggestions for Changes: Watch for someone using Clingy to move him up to a support or lynchpin figure and then spend a turn wailing on them and then going inanimate and then hitting them until they're dead. Best way to do this would be with a Zemo (I) style figure so you can activate Chucky at the optimum time. ~Dysole, dolling it up My Twitch Channel where I play Scape and other things My YouTube Channel where the games get uploaded later Dysole's Draft Rankings Map Thread (Not responsible for psychic damage) Customs Battle Reports This sentence is seven words long.

Re: The Book of Chucky (Charles Lee Ray) (Initial Playtestin
I'm not personally a fan of the "Chucky as Horror Movie Hub" idea. Doesn't really hit the mark for me.
I like the idea of L_O's changes to the SP design. Giving Chucky some passive end-of-round damage once he's been animated. Maybe just: ... if the Inanimate Marker is not on this card at the end of the round, you must, if possible, choose an figure adjacent to Chucky and roll an unblockable attack die against that figureThat ensures that he doesn't just take one turn and then do nothing until the end of the game. That said, when I look that those armies from the tests I'm not too surprised that Chucky underwhelmed. That first army is all-melee and Cap is the focus. If Chucky hits me, but I'm engaged with Cap, then why would I deal with Chucky? I'm better off just punching Cap again. The second army had a smidge of range with Jean, but it doesn't look like she used Telekinesis to isolate opponents next to Ragdoll/Chucky. So once again it was just a matter of pounding on the unit in front of you and ignoring Chucky. Things I'd look for in an army to maximize that version of Chucky are:
IP/Nebula/Angel/Chucky/Ragdoll? Zemo/Phobos/Chucky/Ragdoll/Harley? ProfX/Magneto/Mentallo/Chucky/more mutants? I'm spitballing here but you get the idea. |
