WK Ruling: You can use the Avengers round table for DC ID cards

I'd assumed every place was going to house rule this, so that's really nice.

Sweet, so people can re-enact the final battle from JLA/Avengers!

I wonder if they'll at some point reuse the Red Robin sculpt for a Pre-Flashpoint Tim.

News about Civil War OP out of GAMA: http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=558550

The format sounds interesting; we only get 12-16 players consistently for big events anyway so I'm not sweating a player reduction on our standard two cases anyway, though the increased price hurts some. The draft format is odd, and aside from team building selection and Bounty cards the factions don't make a big difference. Those sculpts are super swanky.

As a judge I'm annoyed that there's no additional support; it was a nice thank you to get an LE for the time it takes to organize and corral players, but this time around I either get bupkis or join in which potentially bumps out a player and also hurts my impartiality.

I was speaking to my venue a few weeks ago and apparently the grand prize pack is expensive enough that we'd have to make a significant bump in cost for the final month, so we're opting instead to do four months of sealed and one month of constructed with a small buy-in, but with two kits all 16 players should walk away with two grand prize figures.

I want that Steve Rogers in Iron Man Armour.

Too bad literally nowhere near me does organised play. So not only would I not be able to win it, it'd just be a display piece.

Emma Frost preview, common and prime. Both are quite good, but three very interesting things have been revealed and completely uncommented-upon:
1) Optional costed traits are a thing now.
2) Stop clicks are an official game mechanic, keyworded as STOP.
3) Looks like the horrible ugly card redesign with printed dials got poo poo-canned.

I thought they said that card redesign wasn't actually coming in with this set and they instead showed it with a character from the new set to illustrate what it might look like?

Word is that the Civil War starter's got a new rulebook/PAC, I don't know if that changes anything regarding the annotated rulebook project.

'Captain Ironmerica'? That's the best they could come up with?

They're doing an All-Batgirl OP Kit with Babs, Cass & Steph? Awesome! I'm guess Babs will be in her Batgirl of Burnside getup.

And hey, they remember Cass' Blackbat identity existed! Now if only DC did in the comics...

They announced they're doing 15th anniversary sets for DC and Marvel, with bricks so I assume a full sized set too. I thought they might be throwback dials like the 10th anniversary ones were (also, this news being announced has made me sad that it's already been 5 years since those sets, gone by fast and I still haven't played the Brainiac from that set yet) but apparently people at one of those retailer convention things are saying they're elseworlds and what-if themed.

Oh, hell yes! :dance:

So apparently the 15th Anniversary sets are What If? and Elseworlds.

Didn't see that coming.
