Tuesday Clix at Zombie Planet
George, please post these at the store. Mark, please send this to your Thursday group.
Basics - Games start at 6:30 unless otherwise noted. We observe the following House Rules - 1) No characters may be "In Contact With Oracle" who are not from the DC Universe. 2) No Pre-GSX Colossals unless specifically allowed in the event description below, except Sentinels, Advanced Sentinels and Sinestro Constructs. GSX and Galactic Guardian Colossals are permitted unless restricted. 3) You may only use a Theme Team cancel if you have at least 2 BFCs with you to play and you are playing them.
For major events, such as pre-releases and resource dial events (Infinity Gauntlet, Utility Belt, etc.), please remember that if we have 10 or more players we may go 4 rounds and if we have 12 or more, we will go four rounds. PLEASE PLAN TO STAY UNTIL 11:00 (or 1:30 a.m. for games which commence after 8:00 p.m.).
For more on "additional team abilities" (atas), "Modern Age", "Golden Age" and other terms, please see the Zombie Planet Message Boards.
I am starting a new scoring system. It was reviewed by some players on 7/24. Events which will use the new scoring system will be marked with (n). The first few runs will be a test and I will be accepting feedback. Any feedback not received by e-mail by August 22, 2012, will probably not be considered. Do not expect me to remember something you say in passing as you leave at the end of a game.
July events:
July 31, 2012: "Infinity Gauntlet, boo hoo." Construct a 400 Golden Age team. Your team must have a figure assigned the Infinity Gauntlet resource with at least one gem. In addition, in honor of "Mutt Day," your team must have at least one figure with the Animal Keyword. This will be a Leaderboard event. $2.00 Entry. (n) Prize: Mr. Fantastic.
Preview of August.
August 7, 2012: The Gauntlet Month 8. See heroclix.com for event description. $4.00 entry. There is one main prize. There are also participation prizes. If your name is not on the list of qualifiers (See the Zombie Planet Message Boards), then you are not eligible to play in the Gauntlet event. However, if I have four or more people not playing in the Gauntlet event, I will run a concurrent side event which will not be for a Gauntlet prize.
August 14, 2012: "Fool me once . . . ." DC only. Remember, DC only includes restrictions on feats, battlefield conditions and resources. Construct a 300 point Golden Age team and a 400 point Golden Age team. There is a restriction of 10% Feats per figure (in other words, no figure may have feats totaling more than 10% of the figure's point cost). We will have a scenario utilizing either your 300 point team or your 400 point team. Use figures you have rarely used or have not used before. (I am looking at those Watchmen figures gathering dust on your shelf or taking up space in your figure collection). $2.00 entry. (n) Prize: Invisible Woman.
August 21, 2012: "When worlds collide." Construct a 500point Modern Age team. 250 points of your team must be DC, 250 points of your team must be Marvel. 25% of your DC team must be from Dark Knight Rises gravity feeds or starter and 25% of your Marvel team must be from Chaos War Boosters. Each team may be under built by up to 5 points. They are treated as one team for all purposes. $2.00 entry. (n) Prize: Thing.
August 28, 2012: "Future Foundation." I would be remiss with this series of prizes not to acknowledge the Future Foundation. Construct a 400 point Marvel only Golden Age theme team. The Team must either be a named theme team with based around the Fantastic Four, or a generic or named theme team based around a traditional, classic Fantastic Four enemy. You may not use the Human Torch (or Johnny Storm) on either team. $2.00 entry. (n) Prize: Spider-man.
ANNOUNCEMENTS!
Thanks to all who participated in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. We will put a team together again for next year. Please look for announcements commencing in October or November.
Preview of September
September 4, 2012: "The Day After." In commemoration of Labor Day (Sept. 3) and Newspaper Carrier Day, any figure, pog or horde token that is a "working stiff", normal police officers, security guard, paper boy, etc. receive a +1 modifier to all stats. In addition, figures with the Police Team Ability or keyword, the S.H.I.E.L.D. team ability or keyword, or figures with the Soldier Keyword that are less than (not less than or equal to) 75 points may use willpower and have colossal stamina. These are the true heroes. Construct a 500 point Golden Age team. Theme team bonuses (and other bonuses) may apply to fitting, but unique builds. $2.00 entry. (n).
September 11, 2012: "The Nu Fifty-Tu." DC only. Construct a 300 point Golden Age team and a 400 point Golden Age team. There is a restriction of 10% Feats per figure (in other words, no figure may have feats totaling more than 10% of the figure's point cost). Buy three JLA boosters. Each round, after determining first player, you will open one and add the figure inside to your 300 point team as a "guest star." No entry. (Possible (n)). George: Please set aside at least 36 JLA boosters for this event.
