John Romero got made a bitch
Any leads or indications on whats to come for future releases? I just got into this game and I'm looking to expand into a midnight sons team, but I know Blade is near impossible to find right now- do you guys think that they will release an affiliation four pack with him and maybe moon knight and strange and someone else? Dont want to hunt seperate boxes if theyre just going to package them together.

I could see a 4pack with Blade, MK, Strange1+Wong.

Haven't heard anything myself, aside from some vague X-Men rumors. I know I'd be really hyped for some more Guardian characters. Phyla and Moondragon, maybe. Plenty of potential Web Warriors out there too, starting with Silk.

Is there a resource somewhere that says which tokens come in what?

I ask because I got the Luke Cage and Iron Fist box and despite Luke causing slow, there's no slow tokens. If they come in something I'm planning on getting down the line anyway I'll wait, otherwise I'll make/buy some. Currently I'm just using random tokens from another game.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

I got Slow tokens from the Miles & Gwen box, pretty sure you get them with Amazing & Black Cat too. I also got a couple with She-Hulk.

whenever they do X-Men again it's all but confirmed that Jubilee/Shadowcat/Nightcrawler/Psylocke are next, given subtle hints (t-shirts they've worn and commented on in past streams) about those 4 and how much they love them. IIRC Spider-Man characters have been mentioned as getting more minis in the future so I'm expecting to see the Sinister Six rounded out.

Blade/Moon Knight is around like 35 bux on Amazon USA right now though it's listed as taking up to 2 weeks to deliver. Some boxes have gone thru ebb and flow with being available but they ultimately always restock.

I'm really hoping we get the Iron Spider at some point, and if we do that it's more comic-styled as opposed to the MCU version

It's because it's coming from a UK warehouse. I just got that box through the same listing.

there is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist
I'm assuming it's spider foes, web warriors and probably midnight sons to tie in with the game release. There was also that unsubstantiated leak earlier this year of upcoming releases. Rhino was slated for jan/Dec.

I want to know if November is empty because they plan to do another balance/errata update like last year.

A lot of people are predicting... something. AMG has been quiet about MCP since the rescheduled ministrav and with a full month of no releases plus a silently delayed affiliation box... it would feel pretty bad if they don't announce something.

DLC Inc
Jun 1, 2011

tbh they had been announcing poo poo waaaaaaay before release for a while and had to play catch up for like a year and a half. I think they are skipping November due to shopping/merchandise stuff i.e. get the Weapon-X/Brotherhood poo poo out for Christmas orders so just stall til then.

I think it's way too early for another balance/errata update when we only just got that card pack in the summer but I'd bet mid-Dec or January there's a bunch of previews for the next release cycle.

Looks like the new Star Wars game they just announced may explain the recent silence from AMG, and inform release schedules going forward.

The archmage of unexpected stinks.

Those lightsabers not being straight even in the show-off models is a wonderful sign for sure!

Also if they had real courage they'd make 'em compatible. Come on AMG, lemme field Poe and Moon Knight on the same squad.

Question on team tactics cards.

Example: Siege of Darkness
"Active - Any number of Midnight Sons characters may spend 2 Power each to play this card. Each character that spend Power may immediately perform an attack with a Power cost of 0."

If I have an out of affiliation character in play but my squad is still Midnight Sons affiliation can they pay 2 power to join in on it?

Gut instinct says no, but I've been listening to a few podcasts and they talked about using it with non-Midnight Sons characters.

Depends on the context. Non MS can not attack with the card, but can use it on their activation with a benefit. Most known is mystique as you cant use defensive super powers throughout all of the siege because it is technically her activation.

Yeah outside the shapeshifter example, I actually can't think of any other rule that would interact with the card that would make any suggestion of non Midnight Sons characters playing the card make sense. Unless they got it wrong.

In fact this card is an excellent example of a tactics card that should encourage you to bring a fully affiliated team. Something I really wish AMG would focus on more.

How exactly does the timing work on someone taking enough damage to get KO'd, power gained from that damage, and the ability to use a reactive power or tactics card?

admanb
Jun 18, 2014

You gain the power simultaneous with the damage taken, so you can spend that power to play cards.

Kaza42

Blood and Souls and all that
Unless the reaction is to taking the damage itself. So you can't use Juggernaut's Nice Punch with the power you'd gain from the damage you are reducing. But you could use Age of Ultron or Deal with the Devil using the power you gained from the damage that KO'd you.

As another potential confusion point, remember you only take damage (and therefore gain power) up to your stamina. So if you have a character with 8 stamina, but 6 damage on them, who gets hit for 5 damage, only 2 damage is actually applied. So that character would only get 2 power (and the attacker would only gain 2 power if they attacked with a builder)

Ashcans

Let's do the space-time warp again!

The timing element of MCP is pretty intricate, but it's also laid out pretty clearly in the expanded rules (page 25-26). Basically there is a step where characters take damage and gain power (12) and then the attack is resolved in the following step (13). So if you take damage and gain power, you can use that on a Reactive that has been triggered before the attack is considered resolved. I don't think there are many effects that trigger in that spot besides The Age of Ultron and Deal with the Devil; Bob's But HOW?! is also in that space, but requires no power.

You do need to be attentive to if things trigger on target, modify dice, before damage, or after resolved, because it can get a little complicated if there are multiple effects at different steps.

Floppychop
Mar 30, 2012

Ok cool, we played it correctly then. We weren't exactly sure if the character was KO'd the moment it got damage equal to its stamina. We did look at the timing steps in the rule book and couldn't find when exactly the character is declared KO'd. Would be in step 13 or 14?

Rhino is potentially confirmation for the leak earlier in the year. Somebody posted a release schedule, rhino was at the top of the list. According to the list emma frost (two versions) is likely to be next.

big beats

pretty well-deserved though it could end up being a step too far. Malekith might now be viable in Steve (who's broken) but bad as a Cabal leader, which would be tragic. Still, it's definitely good for the game and should at least briefly quiet the doomers declaring that AMG no longer cares about MCP
