Ronin's Public Workshopping Thread

For the last sentence of Hivemind Aggression, is that temporary or permanent control? There's some language missing either way.

Yeah. My point is that even on the weaker Bucky I quite often find myself just going with a Cap-boosted normal attack. On a stronger character it’ll become even more situational, but that’s not a terrible thing in itself.

It's fairly good at Squad busting.

Could always do Spawn's heavy machine gun.

I agree on the fecklessness of that SA.

[Ronin]

On the general "Machine Gun isn't that good" conversation... yeah, it's pretty much an option for when you can't get into normal attack range.

I wouldn't try to replace it with Heavy Machine Gun, that's a bit too strong for theme. Honestly, I might just drop it from the card, though. They favored symbiote type attacks anyway (especially after going nuts), and trimming to two powers gives the Hivemind stuff more room to breathe and makes it so we're not fretting over card space and whether or not we can fit clarifying language onto the card.

These guys are a super recent development (from Donny Cates' Venom run that started back in December), so not surprising.

Permanent. Definitely needs a little clarification, yeah.

[Lord Pyre]

Hah just teasing over your comment on discord.

[Ronin]

Oh, right. Probably oughta remember my own jokes.

The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Avengers Infinity set.
Its model number and name are #021 / Star-Lord.

NAME = STAR-LORD
SECRET IDENTITY = PETER QUILL

SPECIES = SPARTOI
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = ADVENTURER?
PERSONALITY = BRASH

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 5

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 5
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = ???

ELEMENT GUNS SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 5. Attack 3.
When Star-Lord attacks with this special attack, he may attack with it one additional time. Before each attack, you may choose one of the following effects:
-the defending figure is considered to occupy a water space while defending against the attack.
-the defending figure cannot use the Flying special power for the remainder of your player turn.
-if the defending figure does not have the Lava Resistant special power and receives a wound from this special attack, you may immediately roll an unblockable attack die against it.
-after a figure rolls defense dice against the attack, you may immediately place it on an empty space within 1 space of its current placement. That figure will not take any leaving engagement attacks but will take any falling damage that may apply.

SHIP PSIONIC LINK
Once per game, after revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with Star-Lord, you may remove him from the battlefield. At the start of the next round, before placing Order Markers, you must place Star-Lord on an empty space on the battlefield. Star-Lord will not take any leaving engagement attacks when moved with this special power.

FLYING

Okay, so... loose outline for Star-Lord as he appeared in the 70s. No bio yet, but the rough notes on him are that he went to space to get revenge on the aliens that killed his mom (slight difference in backstory from the one most people are familiar with.... Quill grew up on Earth), but once in space he met up with some cosmic bigwig called the Master of the Sun instead. MotS helps him work through some anger issues, and gets him hooked up with some gear to become Star-Lord.

He's got the element guns (water really needs a better effect, right now it's only good for punking electric guys), and a spaceship that he's linked to and those are the main things about him.

I also haven't read those 70s Star-Lord stories in like 5 or 6 years, so my memory may be fuzzy in places.

This is the gist of what I think that version of Star-Lord would look like, though.

[MrNobody]

I’m guessing Uncommon Hero was a mistake? Really digging it otherwise.

[Ronin]

Yeah, that was something I just forgot to change.

[IAmBatman]

Is he meant to take LEA when he gets beamed up into the ship?
