So I've been thinking about jumping into heroclix with my kids and finally ordered the justice league starter set today. If things go well, what sets or packs should I follow it up with? I haven't played clix since heroclix first came out, and I preferred Mechwarrior back then haha. I was wanting to start a game that my 6 and 8 year old could enjoy as much as I do and have us starting on the same-ish level and learn together.

I'd love to play online! How do you play with Roll20 though? Are there fan addons or something like TTS? My JLU starter gets here tomorrow and if my kids enjoy it I'll go in on a wonderwoman starter and some boosters at least. I'm excited to be jumping it though!

Torrent posted:Note that if Wonder Woman is starting with the sword equipped, you don't actually have to pay points for it. Due to her trait, at the start of each game she just gets to say 'this is the equipment I have this time'. Paying points for the sword means that you'll be placing it on the map so that someone else can pick it up. Oh awesome! I didn't know that, I'll just add another item in there to fill out the points a bit and try out item rules a bit.

A little strapped for cash after a move but I was able to get a single WW80 pack, got lucky and pulled a SR Ares though! Not sure what I'd use him with, but outside of his gimmick, he hits like a loving truck, so I really want to try him out at some point.

I think I have an idea that will actually work and should have a team down sometime today. My first few ideas were either bad themes or bad execution, also 600 points is way more than I've played so far haha. Edit: Ok so I nailed down a list that I'm not sure will work as a unit too well, but it feels like it fits my theme and will be fun to play at least. So I wanted to do a version of Norman Osborn's avengers/thunderbolts team but for the justice league while still using marvel villains, or at least people who have been villains Superman: God Emperor Doom @ 100pts Batman: abpi061 Taskmaster @ 100pts Wonder Woman: abpi034 Proxima Midnight @ 100pts The Flash: wkMP20-101 Quicksilver @75pts Green Lantern: Red Goblin/pumpkin bombs @50pts Aquaman: caav069 Namor @75pts Cyborg: caav074 Ultron @100pts I call it, "We're totally the Justice League, trust us!"

So my only real experience with collectible games is with TCGs, how does heroclix handle "spoiler season" before a new set? I came in with WW80 pretty much totally spoiled, but is it always dropped all at once? or is it a slow trickle like other games? I did play dicemasters and it was pretty standard for spoilers.

I couldn't roll well to save my life that game. I also knew things were going wrong when Shade dragged half your team into the middle of my team, all of whom had pushed the previous turn. Either way I had a blast, it was still a fun game.

Well, looks like I get to do my first write up! Maniac and I rolled off, and I actually won map choice, and panicked because I never win map and hadn't thought of what to pick yet. I picked the ROC campground map in hopes that I could slow down ghost rider some. Then Maniac informed me that he would have picked the same map! We set up and the not so justice league advanced, taking defensive position behind some really tough looking bushes. Maniac advanced, grabbing the nightbringer ring with hydro-man and a magic crowbar with ghost rider. On my turn, proxima midnight tried to pin down ghost rider with a spear, and missed entirely, everyone else kinda milled around trying to stay out of sight of guns and motorcycles. Maniac responded by covering proxima in poison smoke and shooting her full of holes, leaving her on her last click. I then tried to get some damage on the board by positioning red goblin to charge hydro-man, and have god emperor doom shoot some lasers. Quicksilver then zipped back and tried to punch doctor nemesis and clock king, only getting the king for 3 clicks, and getting stuck in melee. Maniac brought down proxima with some more poison after that, and preceded to have ghost rider pop out and run down doom! Wonder woman also brought hydro-man out of harms way, moving towards quicksilver on the bottom half of the board. Doom was not very fond of being run over, so he turned and punched ghost rider for a whopping 4 clicks and healed up 1 himself. Red goblin finally had a chance to shine and charged ghost rider, finishing him off and triggering his damage power for the first time this tournament! After being dragged up closer the previous turn, task master used this opportunity to charge from behind a bush and finish hit doctor nemesis pretty hard, with namor finishing him off right after. Maniac wasn't taking that lying down, and after wonder woman and hydro-man brought quicksilver down to his last click, clock king finished him off with a blades roll of 6! Time was called shortly after. Final score was Me: 215, Maniac: 175 That was a really fun game, though my game with Morand scared me out of being too aggressive, so I probably played a bit too defensively in the early game.

Maniac and I finally got our game in, and it was pretty drat fun, if you enjoyed us using all our theme probs early and then whiffing a ton of late game rolls. The Sinister Six and the Justice league had a pretty good fight though. I won the map roll and picked keystone city I think it was called. I realized it was more open then I thought once the map was set up. I tried to take my typical defensive approach when going first, but was not prepared for the sinister 6(7) to hop into a magic motorcycle and come stop right in my face. Luckily they were carried, so I didn't screw up too bad, Flash could have tried harder to hit with everywhere at once. Maniac swung back on his turn and took out a Dr Fate clone and kinda wedged himself well in the way of my team getting much of anywhere. I then had Superman and Wonder Woman try and beat up Tombstone and the whiff-fest began! We were moving all around trying to take out pretty much anything on either side, I got lucky and took out Venom, which turned out to be a bad idea as it buffed the rest of the now properly named sinister six, I also lost The Flash around the same time. Trapster then started toss Elmer's Glue token everywhere to keep Superman, Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter stuck! I then decided that my one chance to stay in the game was to put everything I could into Tombstone, his defensive powers were just too annoying. So after most of my team put in 5 attacks, including a double enhanced Dr Fate, Tomestone fell. Maniac Tried to swing around with Toxin, Vulture and Electro to get Green Lantern, but a few bad rolls left him standing. With 20 seconds on the clock I had Green Lantern swing right back and we added one last whiffed roll to the game. It was a really close game, our defenses were both just a little too good it seemed, though overall a pretty fun game! Elblanco: 140 Maniac: 70 I was literally 5 points down until I took out tombstone, I had to scramble to get any points haha.

CapnAndy posted:War of Realms unboxings have started. Set looks pretty solid to me. I don't understand why people are so mad about that, were the benched powers really so integral to the game? I think the set looks pretty neat so far, and I'm excited to grab a brick or a case when it drops. Planning on playing more at home this year and buy a bunch of bricks to do sealed with the family, maybe hit up some pre-releases if anywhere near me does one too. Also it is weird that there's 2 different JLU traits here, the thor one works well for her imo.

Ok so I just got back a little bit ago and I had a blast. I took my 9 year old son with me and we had only 4 people playing total. As he usually does my son pulled a Sr, crusader and I helped him put together an avengers team of crusader, Hercules and miles morales Spider-Man. I ended up with rare valkyrie and Jane foster Thor and played them with helmet Spiderman and Lady sif for asgardian theme for the prob. I tabled my first opponent but had a hard time with blade and his rally die constantly reviving him since I kept rolling 6s. I didn't lose anyone though so I felt good about my team. I got creamed in round two by the chase rocket and shifting focus rare Thor, failed some charge attacks and watched my Thor get demolished in one turn. Fun game but a rough one for me. Last round was against my son and about halfway through chewing through so many clix and super senses and impervious I realized that I had inflicted it all on myself... I somehow pulled out a win with valkyrie being my last figure on her last click taking out crusader. We got like 4 ff slop legacy cards and my son pulled Thanos, which someone traded us emperor Vulcan and the sabretooth from rise and fall for, figured it was fine since I don't have any old figures. I also won a roll off for the runner up prize and walked away with the ff slop doom! Really excited about that since he's like the only thing I wanted from that kit. I was also able to get a couple more packs before I left for my wife and daughter since they stayed home, my daughter pulled malekith, kids have all the luck here. Overall a great time and I might be able to do it again next week!

So I just learned that most of my collection is about to rotate out, as apposed to having already been gone like I thought. I could have been going to local events for months now! So I'm going to try and get out there the next few weeks, aiming for modern events, then going to silver and golden age events just to be able to play. I've got 4 teams made already too, outside of no more theme prob, is there anything else big that they changed about team building, I'm having trouble finding anything.

I ended up being able to play tonight, my first event in like a year and a half! 500 modern, focusing mostly on stuff that's about to rotate. I took: Rise and fall PAH kit Deadpool Empyre PAH kit Wolverine at 100pts War of the Realms SR Crusader Empyre SR Captain America at 100pts FF Slop Dr Doom The team ended up being way nastier than I originally thought, I knew they were good figures, but holy poo poo. Wolverine and Crusader mostly fought back to back and nearly took out a Hulking in a single turn in the second round. Doom was super fun too, I've had him for a while and this was the first time I've really gotten to use him. When I remembered to get a die it was usually a 5, and having an auto success for super senses was great to have. Deadpool was also great and it helped a lot that I was lucky enough to roll healing for his goodie bags every round. I didn't take notes and I don't know most of the figures that I played against, but I'll recap the best I can. Round 1: vs Xmen Here I was up against a team twice the size of mine, so I was immediately nervous. My opponent also nearly killed Wolverine on turn 1, so that didn't help. A few turns with some lucky rolls and a goodie bag had him back at full clix though. turn 3 or 4 is where I turned things around and KO'd 4 of his figures, which were all of his melee threats, in one turn. A few turns cleaning up the support and couple ranged dudes and the games was over. What helped the most here was that my opponent rolled pretty poorly most of the game, even rolling 4 crit fails. WIN I had set out to win one game tonight and I felt good getting it in round 1, things would not go so well for me from here. Round 2: Skrulls This game I knew was going to be rough, cause I could tell from the sculpts I was facing down a few SR figures and such. I also heard during round one that the team was built around having shape change on everything. I approached cautiously but on turn two decided, gently caress it, and charged his Hulkling with Wolverine and Crusader, coming one missed attack from KO'ing him. From there the whole game was a blood bath, with me slowly but surely losing everything, but not going down without a fight. I think I took out about half his team before the game ended. LOSS Round 3: Fantastic Four When we sat down to play, my opponent asked a bunch of questions about my team, to get an idea of what was going on, and I obliged since I didn't want to be a poor sport. Luckily for me he explained his own team right after, and I knew I was in for another tough match. Half his points were in the captain universe Sue Storm, which I had considered taking myself. He also had a title character Reed Richards that wanted to get onto my side of the board. I knew right away who my first target was. He didn't like my typical strategy of deploying Cap off to the side, being my only ranged character, and sent most of his team after Cap, almost taking him out on his turn one. Things got real swingy for a bit, with us both getting some good KO's in, the entire game came down to Human Torch and Sue kiting Crusader and Wolverine for a while. I ended up never being able to touch Sue but got the other HALF of his points, it was nuts. LOSS Overall it was a blast, I haven't been able to get out to a game night for a long time and it was nice to finally play again. I ended up with a batman team up legacy pack as well, I was hoping for batman beyond, since it's a figure I actual own, but I ended up with atrocitus, so I got to see if I can track down the figure for that somewhere. My first round opponent also gave me a rare dr strange from beyond amazing to help me build my collection back up, he looks pretty neat so I'm going to try him out soon. I also got like 4 maps at the new map size too!

Got to play some good ol sealed last night! Though I'm sick and couldn't stay the whole time, i was getting my rear end kicked the two rounds I did play though. My dice were NOT cooperating with me. I ended up pulling SR injustice Wonder Woman and SR Golden glider, as well as the rare ra's and killer croc. Only got one classic G.O.O.N, which kinda sucks. I loved playing the two SRs though, was able to get some really good alpha strikes with the two of them. I just couldn't hit any attacks to save my life! We also had a couple BL chases opened and a prime talon too, so everyone got a little something. Other than getting sick it was a fun time!
