[duff]

Yaaaay cards! Stolen playbook may not be the best match of fluff and function. The name suggests some way to mess up the opponent's action rather than improving your own chances. Also I think it may be a bit weak, since it only give the chance for one turn.

[absent1]

maybe it shouldn't allow the opponent to use rerolls for a drive, that would be tough, but fair?

[duff]

The fluff would be better fitted by giving a player any two of - shadow, passblock, tackle or stand firm. You may do this at any time in your opponent's turn. The skills last for the rest of their turn.

[narkotic]

Please don't forget that 50K Vault difference means 5TR in LRB. Considering that TR5 is near to nil difference in team strength, more than half of the cards are too powerful.

Sorry, if this comment wasn't very constructive.
I know you put a lot of work into them and they look entertaining to use, though. I guess, coaches who like cards will love these.

[DoubleSkulls]

Please don't forget that 50K Vault difference means 5TR in LRB. Considering that TR5 is near to nil difference in team strength, more than half of the cards are too powerful.

So what level would you consider appropriate for 50k?

I think the "standard level" for 50k ought to be a normal skill for the game or a very good skill for a drive.

Do you have concerns about any particular card(s)?

[absent1]

watch list

http://www.specialist-games.com/bloodbo ... IC_ID=3835

you'd only draw cards for tr 10 differences or higher, so 2 cards at that level. thanks narkotic, looking forward to some specifics.

[narkotic]

ok, I went through the first half of the cards (up to Magic Items), will comment the rest later.

So before you jump on me, I know that it's far easier to criticise than to come up with something better. But for someone who dislikes cards, I think they are fun, even that I'd be more comfortable if you could draw one for each 10TR-difference instead of two.

My comments:

Get em - I'd rather see it changed to be usable only after the Kick off has been resolved, else it's too strong as you can bust a sideline cage or prevent a TD of non-Elf teams out of the blue.

Heckler - why two turns?

Hometown fans - make it usable only once

misplaced mine - don't like this at all, seems more like a senseless randomizer to hurt/prone opponents, not fun for either side IMHO

pit trap - make it not usable on the ball carrier

suitable pitch - don't like tinkering around with AV roll, why not adjust sprint? (sure feet vs. GFI with 3+)

Fanatic invasion - too whacky for my taste

Afterburners - he has to make an unmodified AG roll with ST afterwards, else he is KOed.

Punt - your turn ends afterwards regardless if any of your players has caught the ball or not.

[absent1]

Code: Select all

Get em - I'd rather see it changed to be usable only after the Kick off has been resolved, else it's too strong as you can bust a sideline cage or prevent a TD of non-Elf teams out of the blue.

OK

Heckler - why two turns?

so it works on your turn to avoid block and works on their turn too, and making it either or is wordy, I could if it is really needed though.

Hometown fans - make it usable only once

i've never had the ball go out more than one time in a game but i'll change it thats fine.

misplaced mine - don't like this at all, seems more like a senseless randomizer to hurt/prone opponents, not fun for either side IMHO

i love random carnage, but i'll update the watch list to include this comment.

pit trap - make it not usable on the ball carrier

sure

suitable pitch - don't like tinkering around with AV roll, why not adjust sprint? (sure feet vs. GFI with 3+)

uh i don't understand, sorry (i'm slow )

Fanatic invasion - too whacky for my taste

but worth more than 50K?

Afterburners - he has to make an unmodified AG roll with ST afterwards, else he is KOed.

st?

Punt - your turn ends afterwards regardless if any of your players has caught the ball or not

i agree, thats why the card is played at end of turn, so i accounted for that one (good to know i'm doing something right! )

[narkotic]

suitable pitch - instead of chosing to have AV +/- 1 you could have the coach decide if sure feet applies to all players or GFIs work on a 3+

afterburners - ST roll to see if he has exhausted himself, you could do a 4+ roll to see if he has fallen KO as well, if that makes the wording easier.

about the value of the fanatic invasion - I don't know, as he plays for both sides. But as he has the price of Thrud, it should be fine (???) Thrud costs 50K to hire, doesn't it?

[absent1]

ok, so suitable pitch is sure feet for everyone (both teams) ?

afterburners on 4+ ko sounds fine.

EDIT: ps, thanks for the in depth feedback narkotic!

[Pink Horror]

I agree that +1 AV on all knockdowns is probably over the top for a 50k card. I should have mentioned something when it was changed (I think the original version had no choice and was -1 AV, which is powerful but not open to abuse.). The -1 AV version would be great for the 100k deck, because they desire to have cards that reduce injuries.

[absent1]

it should be on the watch list, and i do agree, i think it is too good, (i try and listen to everything) so swap it with a 100k card, or change the effect to something like sure feet for all, or something maybe a little more meaningful? or put in a new card? I wouldn't mind adding some more of the secret weapon cards, but already have the fun ones, bombs, chainsaw, and a fanatic, in the cards.

[absent1]

The fluff would be better fitted by giving a player any two of - shadow, passblock, tackle or stand firm. You may do this at any time in your opponent's turn. The skills last for the rest of their turn.

p.s. i'm going to take this suggestion and work something out, so soon this card will change, THANKS!!

[absent1]

edited the list thanks to feedback, i think it's looking real good, let me know if there are any vault terms still hidden in there! and any more feedback will be appretiated, and used!
