Re: What Type of Custom Creator or Fan Are You?
Ooooohhhh...I get it, now.
I'd have to say Iconic, then. If there's really a big difference in two Robins, for example, I might consider making two customs, but mostly they're the same. I really try to avoid having more than one version of a particular character and what I mean by that is: I don't want a regular Spidey and Black Suit Spidey wandering around, because then it's possible to have them on the same team, and that would just be wrong, plus classic-wise you get into the whole, which version did the general summon and stuff....so, yeah, long story short, iconic.....

Re: What Type of Custom Creator or Fan Are You?
Well if they're both named "Spider-Man" then it'd be like having two Raelins on the same team ... not allowed by conventional Heroscape rules.
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: What Type of Custom Creator or Fan Are You?
I'm primarily commenting as a fan/commentator here, as the only custom i've "finished" and posted to the site was lost in the Time Warp an I'm waiting until I get the minis finished to repost.
1. Figure Photo or Comic Art For CG3 stuff, I'm prining out the comic art (so that everything matches) for most everything else I'd say figures. (I went with the comic art CG3 cards because I couldn't stand the close up of that fugly Superman mini.) 2. Compatability with Marvel, Valhalla, C3G, NM24, any comic custom, and/or other customs such as Sci Fi/Star Wars (in other words, are you concerned with your customs playing well with synergies in other genres) In general, customs should be theoretically compatable first with the appropriate version of Heroscape, then the other version. So If I were to do a superhero custom I would want it to be primarily compatable with Marvel/CG3, with classic compatability/synergy taking a backseat. 3. Theme vs. Mechanics, which one is more important to you. Would you sacrifice something on one in order to perfect the other? Mechanics are an expression of theme and should work in a thematic way, but things also need to work in a Heroscape way. They're both imortant. (The opposite of that is true if you're going from design -> concept though). 4. Custom short cuts such as Flying Symbols or other symbols like team logos, where do you draw your line. Symbols are only acceptable in superheroscape and custom universes. In superheroscape, only flying and superstrength are the only ones that should have actual rules associated with them. (So team symbols and such are cool, if they have no relavence other than to a power on a card.) 5. Individual Secret Identities or Iconic "Lunch Box" Representations What would your custom world include? Secret identaties . An army shouldn't be able to have Buckey Barnes and Winder Soldier. Besides, it opens up more options, and options are always good. 6. Does your quest for theme mean that you want you specific characteristics always spelled out in the powers, or are you willing to "hide" theme in base stats for "simplicity". Well, Iron Man is my favorite Marvelscape Hero. . . . If something doesn't really need to be a power for mechanical flavor, don't make it one. It's just clutter. 7. Language preference. Are you strict on Heroscape "official" language or are you willing to take liberties on "house slang" such as "...powers that refer to heat, fire or flame..." Not trying to use language that is as official as possable is just sloppy. 8. Do you have a ceiling on the number of powers on a card? Four if they're all simple. Three if one is complex. Two if they're both complex. 9. Do you have a ceiling on point value? No, but cheaper units are more fun because they can interact with more stuff. 10. Are you into the customs to actually play in games, or are you just into the fun of translating comic characters onto cards? CG3 is allowed at my table in every game where Marvel is allowed ~1:6. While I enjoy the design process, I wouldn't bother putting pen to paper if I didn't actually plan on using something. I don't need no instructions to know how to rock.

Man, do you know how tough it was to get that shot of Superman?
Seriously, though, that mini is butt ugly. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

It's for that very reason that I am creating more than one Batman card. There can be variants. If their weren't, there would be no need for this forum at all. And just because I have two Batmans doesn't mean I wouldn't follow the rules. That's the reason behind the "Unique Hero" tag on the left of the card, right? One unique hero/squad per army. Simple. Beautiful. |

Re: What Type of Custom Creator or Fan Are You?
The point they're getting it is that if you have a card for Hal and a card for Kyle and call them both Green Lantern, you can't, by Heroscape rules, use both cards on the same team.

Re: What Type of Custom Creator or Fan Are You?
Great stuff guys,thank you all for participating. Keep up the new entries and the new debates.
Quote:
One is a soldier for good, the other is a leader of evil. One follows the ways of the Jedi, the other is a lord of the Sith. One could bond as a padawan, the other could bond with squads of troopers. One is "human" and the other is a cyborg. Different, different, different, and since you're playing the "Battle of All Time" there should be no reason why you couldn't summon them both, from different time periods, for the same army. Now since they both likely bond with different groups, it may not be wise to do so. But if I want them together, let me have 'em. Same with Bucky and the Winter Soldier. Hey, in Avengers/Invaders, Bucky Barnes was right along side himself as the new Cap. The Battle of All Time should allow this. The reason why the rule exists is to keep the same unique hero cards from showing up more than once on the same team. As for the Green Lantern Corp, that's the only one that gives me difficulty. I personally went with a generic "Green Lantern" for any of the earth protecting crew. Killowog would be seperate as "Killowog". If I ever wanted to branch out for the other human GL's (I can't picture myself bothering, but if I did), I'd probably leave Green Lantern as my representation of Hal Jordan and call all the rest simply by their names (i.e. "John Stewart" or "Gu Gardner") the same way I did for Namor and J'onn J'onzz. But that's just me. |

That's when you bust out "Spiderman" and "Spider-man"
