Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
There will be two Pod Leads from the AotV project members, also not already part of another Pod. That list is:

For this pod I would love to provide input into which units are selected, but I also trust the project leads and whatever direction they decide is best.

Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
Personally, I'd rather let the Pod People™ choose.

Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
That's the goal. Previous votes have typically been open to the public; for future pods, we can either hold those votes before opening sign-ups for the pod, or otherwise get a list of units posted ahead of time. The main problem with the current approach is that we're asking for volunteers before directions are discussed (or even which units), which could lead to people rooting for one thing and committing to work on another.
It sounds like this Pod is good with proceeding with a vote limited to just them for the 4 units that will be in the group, though. Give me a couple of minutes and I'll get that kicked off! Edit: And we're live! Now we just need to wait for all of the pod members to vote. Proud Member of Platyfly!

I'll customize anything. Currently have no preferences.

Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
It seems to me like we should consider being more strict about when workshopping happens. We seem to be making a lot of changes to units while they're in editing or after they have been playtested just a few times. Am I getting the wrong impression?

Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
Cool. Stick around and brainstorm and I think you'll get your shot!

I know a fair amount has been happening (especially in editing), but we've also been trying to push the complexity of a lot of designs back a bit (or finding rules bugs, which inherently need fixing). So far, the only units who had to go back to design from playtesting were Tetsuo and the Firecats. Tetsuo because everyone who had pt'd him (admittedly, we could have used more testing time, but we work with what we're given) wasn't quite happy for one reason or another. And the firecats because their design simply wasn't interesting (you always wanted to use the blaze markers as quickly as you could... about as boring and as little interaction as the Tarn Viking's Charge power). Editing: Ozuul's SA was cleaned up for complexity. Velnesh teleport power is getting reined in for complexity. Velkhor had rules quirks, and needed a name. Soulguides was just too complex. Pillars needed some rulings defined and spelled out. Playtesting: So far all three glyphs have shown promise, even in they vary in power. That's fine, imo, and I've stated as such elsewhere. Pyria is pretty much on her way. Dienekes just entered testing, so it's hard to say which way he'll go, but I do not see a total redesign happening there. I could see some stat tweaks, but that's to be expected in PT. My customs. NE Ohio Tourney - TBA SW Ohio Tourney - NHSD 550 points AotV - Colliding the minis of AotP with the world of HS. |

Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
You’re probably right in that we’re a bit sloppy in terms of exactly when units should be in what phase, but I don’t think it’s been without cause. We did vote on moving Tetsuo back.

Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
Good points, y'all. Looking at each case individually it is probably fine.

Re: AOTV General Discussion - Pod 2 starting soon!
Have we thought about having any kind of "VC Review" stage to ask them to look at our units before we finalize them?
