Spiff's SotM Accessories

Here are the accessories I use to enhance my SotM gaming experience. If you’d like, you can print them out and use them too. They can be found at:

http://www.spiffworld.com/sotm

1) Card Boxes

Card boxes for all the environments, all the villains, and all the heroes for both the core set and Rook City expansions.

The Environment and Villain boxes are 1/2" deep and will fit both the thinner core set cards as well as the thicker cards that came with the expansions and the Expanded Edition, so you won’t need to print new boxes if you plan on upgrading to the Expanded Edition. However, because there are so many more cards in a hero deck, those thicker decks will require thicker boxes. Expatriette and Mr. Fixer both already have the 3/4" boxes to accommodate their thicker cards, but once the Expanded Edition comes out, I’ll update this collection to include 3/4" deep boxes that will fit all of the new, thicker hero decks. I’ll also post a separate .zip file containing the older, thinner boxes for people who are still using the original core set.

2) Card-sized Health Trackers

These hp trackers utilize a dual-spinner design and are small enough to fit in a card box along with each hero/villain’s cards, making them a good, portable alternative to using dice or whatever to track hero & villain health. Trackers for all of the heroes and villains in both the core set and Rook City are included.

3) Oversized Hero Cards/HP Trackers

These are 4x6 oversized hero cards that include an integrated hp tracker. All the heroes from the core set and Rook City are included, as well as the Young Legacy and Rook City Wraith alternate hero versions.

4) Oversized Villain Cards + Advanced Mode Cards

These are 8x6 oversized villains card. All villains from the core set and Rook City expansion are included. They combine the two separate villain cards that come with each villain deck into a single, giant target for your heroes to focus on. I’ve made a couple of modifications to the cards which I think are improvements:

To save room on the card, and since you don’t always need the Advanced Mode rules, I’ve broken Advanced Modes out into their own normal-sized cards. If you are fighting the villain’s Advanced Mode, you just lay out the Advanced card and follow the rules as shown. But if you’re not fighting the Advanced Mode, the Advanced Mode text isn’t on the villain card and you can completely ignore it.

I’ve made other small changes to the layout of the card to improve readability and flow when quickly scanning the card, including the use of an “SV” and “EV” icon to replace the verbose text “at the start of the villain turn” or “at the end of the villain turn”. This saves space on the card, improves readability, and the icons are colored to make it easy to quickly see what needs doing at what points during the villain phase.

Also, the rules on the Omnitron villain card are a little different than the ones on the normal villain card. I incorporated a suggestion made by someone here on the forums that lets Omnitron get devices out a little bit more regularly, which makes him a bit more interesting and challenging as a villain, IMO.

5) Oversized Environment Cards

These are 8x6 cards that have a place to put the environment deck and discards (kind of like a placemat for the environment). They aren’t necessary in any way, but I think having them laid out on the table next to the villain cards gives extra color and flavor to the game. Feel free to ignore these if you don’t have the room when playing, or if you just don’t think they’re something you’d like to use. All core set and Rook City environments are included.

If you find any mistakes or problems with the files, please let me know so I can correct them.

This is awesome!!! I think I’m most tempted by the big villain cards, but i’ve played a few times where space was already limited…I’ll probably make them anyway.

Many thanks, Spiff. Greatly appreciate all the work you (and others) are putting into tools for the rest of us to consume.

And we will gladly consume them! 8)

Rabit

This is amazing. You’ve really outdone yourself Spiff by putting this together for us.

As promised, I’ve added a link in the original post to card boxes for every environment, villain, and hero. As usual, if you see anything that needs fixing with the files, please let me know.

I’ve also added a link to oversized cards I use when playing to represent the environments. They’re by no means necessary to the game, but I like them.

There’s one more set of files I’d like to post up, the oversized hero cards with built-in spinners that I use while playing. I’m going to have to go through the files and simplify them before they’ll be ready for outside consumption though, so stay tuned for those.

I’ve updated the original post to include a link to the oversized hero cards with integrated hp tracker spinners that I use while playing. That’s my last group of accessories to post, so enjoy. When Rook City comes out and I hopefully get my hands on the art from that expansion, I’ll post files for all that new stuff too.

Updated to add a link to the card-sized hp trackers. When Rook City comes out, I’ll include these in the set of things I update.

Original post updated to include a link to the new Rook City versions of all of these filetypes.

I noticed something when I tried putting together one of the card boxes, the top and bottom’s depth is less than the sides, thus making them not able to fit correctly unless you fold past the line to make more space. Also, the Rook City Hero boxes seem a tad small, it looks like you made all card boxes the same size, while the decks in Rook City are bigger than the core set.

1. I’ve printed out every one of the card boxes I’ve Photoshopped up, and I never noticed that the tops/bottoms of the card boxes are indeed about 1/16" smaller than the sides. I’ll update that and post a new .zip collection. In fact, it will be a good excuse to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a while, which is to include the new art from the hp trackers that went out to the Kickstarters on the back of the hero boxes.

2. Before I actually got my hands on the Rook City expansion, I had posted up a .zip file containing new card boxes, because I figured that since I already had the art there was no reason to not just slap it on my card box template and share it early. Once I actually got the cards though, I saw that their new thickness would require a thicker box, so I reworked my template for Expatriette and Mr. Fixer, and that’s what’s posted up currently. I just downloaded the .zip that is posted here to double-check, and both Mr. Fixer and Expatriette do indeed use a 3/4-inch box template compared to the 1/2-inch template that all the other boxes use.

If you’re seeing something else, maybe you’re still pulling down the old .zip that doesn’t include the full Rook City set of accessories? You should be getting a .zip that includes card boxes, oversized hero and villain cards, etc. whereas the old .zip (which has the same filename as the new one) only had stuff I could make before I’d actually gotten the expansion.

The card boxes have been updated. The same links in the original post will now get you boxes with the following changes:

1. I’ve fixed the problem Koga pointed out, so the tops/bottoms of the boxes now match the sides.

2. I’ve lengthened the tuck panel so that there’s now more to tuck in when the box is closed. It was too short before and the boxes had a hard time staying closed, but now they’re much better.

3. All of the hero boxes now have their new art from the Kickstarter hp trackers on the back of the boxes (so, different art front and back now).

4. While I was at it, I updated Bunker’s logo, since I never really liked the one I’d given him before.

The Rook City .zip file now contains updated versions of the card boxes as well (the two Rook City hero boxes didn’t need updating).

I printed out one of the boxes and put it together to make sure I’d fixed the sizing problem, and then I went through and updated every other box in a big batch. So if you told me there was something I’d overlooked in there somewhere, I’d believe you. However, I think everything’s good to go. If you find any further problems, please let me know.

I just made mine, and I actually used photo paper to print them on. They ended up looking quite lovely that way, and they’re a bit sturdier, too. ;D

Same here, almost done putting them all together too. Mine get used at my game club so wanted something nice to put them in. Using Kodak photo paper with a Kodak printer so I don’t need to mess with any settings. and they all fit nicely into one of my big cardboxes, just printed out a logo for SotM and put that on the big box. Plan to use my Dominion: Alchemy box once more expansions come out, just cover it up with wrapping paper and put the SotM box art on the front, unless they make a better storage solution themselves.

Doesn’t the photo paper get a little tacky on the photo side? Are you worried that if two boxes touch each other, they could stick together? I haven’t printed photos in years, and maybe photo paper is much better now than I remember it being.

Doesn’t seem to be tacky at all, and I think I’d be aware if it was going to be by now considering all the folding and applying pressure involved in their construction. I bought a pack of HP Everyday Photo Paper (or something like that), and it was around $11 for 50 sheets. So all said and done, the cases cost about $6, and I still have paper for more in the future.

I’ll update this if they get tacky over time, but so far I think photo paper has been improved upon since you (and I) last used it.

UPDATE: I use and enjoy the oversized hero hp trackers that I link to in the original post, but their design has always had one flaw that irritated me – the head of the metal fastener sticks out of the back of the tracker so that when you’ve got a stack of the trackers, they get caught on each other and are hard to stack neatly. I’ve come up with a solution though which really seems to work well. In the new design, the metal fastener attaches the spinner to a third piece of paper which gets sandwiched between the front and back of the tracker. This extra layer adds some stiffness to the tracker which I like, and now, the head of the metal fastener is safely tucked away inside the tracker so that stacked trackers can slide over each other in your storage box the way Jeebus intended.

I’ve updated the file that the original post links to, so if you’re interested, you can get these new oversized hero hp trackers with the new design just by following that link. I’ve also updated the Rook City .zip file so that Expatriette, Mr. Fixer, and the Alt. Wraith trackers utilize the new design as well.

Also, the Incapacitated side of the cards now show the new hero art (still in black and white), if available.

I’ve made a couple of updates to the files. The card-sized hp trackers have had the following changes:

1. I updated the hero trackers to include their alternative art (from the official hp trackers that came out with the Rook City Kickstarter) so that they have different art on the front and back.

2. I improved the tracker’s dials. It was always a stupid design flaw that I didn’t space the numbers properly around the dial. When counting down the ones dial, you’d go clockwise through 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… then have to walk the dial back counter-clockwise to 9, 8, 7 etc. every time you dropped down to the next lowest tens digit. Lame. Now the dials have all ten digits repeated all the way around the dial so that you never have to reverse the direction you move it while counting. You can now count down through 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 9, 8, 7 etc. without having to reverse the direction you’re moving the dial.

3. My daughter has been forever irritated with the Omnitron tracker. There are only two dials, so it could only ever show 99 or zero, not 100 which is the amount of hp Omnitron has. And with Akash’bhuta coming up (200 hp), that was a design problem I’d need to tackle eventually. Rather than add a third dial, which would have made the whole thing either unusable or require that it be increased in size so that it no longer fit inside a card box, I opted to add a pull-out strip that shows “+100” to keep track of the hundreds digit. Akash’bhuta’s tracker will be able to show multiple "+100"s on her pull-out strip. That was the least terrible idea I could come up with to manage these ultra high-hp villains.

Also, I’ve removed the link to the star-design hp trackers (although I still have them in case anyone cares). I don’t think that dual-star design ended up being better than the card-sized trackers, and with the advent of 100+ hp villains, it wasn’t sustainable. So I’m not planning on making any more of those for future expansions.

Lastly, I originally posted all the Rook City accessories in their own .zip file so that someone who had previously downloaded the accessories didn’t need to re-download everything just to get the Rook City stuff. I’ll do that again when I post the Infernal Relics files, but Rook City has been out long enough that I decided to fold all of the Rook City files into the core set .zip files, meaning that the card boxes .zip file now contains card boxes for both the core set and Rook City. That’s easier for me to maintain whenever I make changes to the files.

I made a couple of updates to the accessories. These include:

1. The location of the files has changed. The original post has the correct link. Rather than linking directly to the many individual files, I’m just going to point people at a single landing page that I can more easily keep up-to-date.

2. Updates to the oversized hero hp trackers. I’ve increased the awesomeness of Bunker’s and Ra’s trackers by adding some camo patterns and flames, respectively. I also updated Young Legacy’s logo to actually say “Young”, and have updated the rules on Rook City Wraith’s tracker to follow a suggestion made by someone here on the forums which I thought was a good one. The tracker now states that RC Wraith can reveal the top card of the environment deck and either discard it, play it, or (the new part) put it back on top of the deck. If you don’t want to play with this new rule, which seems to make her power actually useful now, then you can use the old tracker if you’d prefer.

3. Because I updated Young Legacy’s logo on her oversized hero card, I also updated the logo on her card-sized hp tracker to match. I also updated RC Wraith’s logo on her small hp tracker.

4. I updated the Advanced Mode cards for the villains, though it’s such a small update it’s probably not worth re-printing them. I just removed the text I had originally put on there that showed the “issue title” for each villain. My original thinking was that as new alt versions of villains came out, you’d need to be able to tell which Advanced card went with which villain, so I added the matching issue title to do that. But I see now that the alternate versions of villains will have their own new art too, so there’s no chance you’d mistake which Advanced card went with which villain, and that issue title text is unneeded. So I removed it.

5. I play against the Chairman and the Operative so infrequently that I had never noticed how half-assed I’d done the Operative’s character card. I updated it so that now her incapacitated side is grayed-out like all the hero’s incapacitated sides are on my oversized hero cards. Plus, I changed the color of the hp tracker spinner and fixed the interior piece that you attach it to so that it looks and works better.

I really like how they look, and I prefer it over my cards held together with ribbon. But before I invest in this, I would really like to know if they can fit sleeved cards.

Thanks!!!

Merged with existing thread to make it easier for folks to find the information.

Personally, I haven’t used Spiff’s boxes, so I’ll let someone else report on that. Sorry! :-\

I don’t sleeve my cards, so I’ve never checked, however it’s an easy enough experiment. Give me the dimensions of of a pile of 40, 25, and 15 cards when sleeved, and I can see if they fit their respective boxes. Alternately, you can download the .zip file, print out a single box on regular printer paper, cut and fold it into the right shape and hold it together with simple tape, and then plop in your sleeved cards to see how it fits.

Note that the dimensions will differ depending on whether the cards come from the core game or the later releases.

Just played the first SotM Scenario with Dr. Wagner. The Doc ended the game with max hit points. Unity, Nightmist, Legacy, Tempest, and Argent Adept defeated Baron Blade before he even took his first turn on his flipped side. V for Victory.

ACCESSORY UPDATES!

I've posted updates to as many of my accessories as I can without actually having received any of the new cards.  As always, you can find them on my site www.spiffworld.com/sotm .  The updates include:

• Card boxes:  includes updates to the hero boxes (more space to accomodate the new thicker card stock, updated art), updates to villain boxes (new art), updates to environment boxes (new art), and all the boxes for Infernal Relics heroes/villains/environments.  A separate file containing hero boxes that fit the first edition printing is available in case you don't have the Enhanced Edition.
• Oversized hero hp trackers: core heroes have been updated to use new art (nothing new for Tempest, sadly).  There have been some cosmetic updates to the Rook City trackers as well.  There were minor EE rules changes for Legacy, Tempest, and Wraith.  No IR heroes are available yet.
• Card-sized hp trackers: core hero/villains updated to use new art.  No IR stuff yet.
• Oversized environments: New art for all four core environments (the older core environments are still included as alts if you prefer them).  Includes IR environments.

I haven't finished updating the Advanced rules cards for villains yet, so the oversized villains file hasn't been changed.  I'll get to that soon.

As you can see, some Infernal Relics stuff is included in this update, but not all.  I hate the idea of posting accessories and then later finding out that the text on some cards changed last minute, causing people to lose money on paper and ink.  So I'm holding off on posting anything from IR or the Kickstarter until I can be 100% sure it's correct.

So let the downloads begin.  If you start printing now, maybe you'll be finished cutting, pasting, and assembling everything before your Kickstarter shipment finally arrives in the mail. ;)

Started printing off card boxes and noticed you didn't update Absolute Zero's art.

That's true. The updated Absolute Zero pic is less colorful than the old one, with him against a grey swirling background of snow. It's kind of bland, IMO. I went back and forth between the new and old pic and finally decided I should go with the one that looked better rather than using the new one just because it's new. I could make another version with the new art if people just loved the grey art best, but I don't know if that's the case. 

I actually like the new art myself. There's also more contrast between him and the background in the new one.

k, I'll put an option together using the new art too. 

New files have been posted.  Each file (oversized hero hp trackers, small hp trackers, card boxes) includes both an "absolute zero" and an "absolute zero - classic art" option.  That should hopefully keep everyone in the 'verse happy.

I've also updated the villain file.  No Infernal Relics stuff yet, but the oversized villain cards have been updated to include each one's difficulty rating from the EE rules book, and the core villains have been updated with their new EE rules (no new rules for Omnitron).  Also, I've shrunk The Operative's mini-boss card down so that all the pieces fit onto one page and so it takes up less room on the table.  All of the Ennead mini-bosses will use this new format, when they come out.

I've updated my site to include oversized villain cards for Cosmic Omnitron and Bomber Baron Blade.  I've also updated the oversized hero hp tracker file to include Redeemer Fanatic and Ra, Horus of Two Horizons with their correct incapacitated text.  Those two are no longer available in their own separate file.

Hey Spiff, I finaly got around to printing off a set of the card boxes and put them together. They're great now that I have them put together but there is a problem with the Ennead, since they have more cards in their deck than your average villain they don't fit into the box. I'm printing off a hero box and pasting the Ennead art over it as a temporary fix.

Wha? Nobody told me they have more cards in their deck than a normal villain (although I probably should have guessed that) and since I still don't have my damn cards yet, I wasn't able to check that they fit (sorry about the italics. calming back down...)

Well, as soon as I get my shipment, I'll check the right size and update the file. Sorry for the inconvenience. 

The button to edit posts has apparently disappeared, so I'll amend my statement here to say, "You say you're using a hero-sized box for now. Is that the actual size the Ennead's box should be, or is that not actually the optimal size either? Because if the answer is just to slap Ennead art on a hero-sized box template, I can do that pretty easily and get the file updated right away. Let me know."

A regular villain deck has two character cards (art/text) and 25 other cards for a total of 27.

The Ennead has nine character art cards, but only one text card, for a total of 35.

Sounds like a box sized for heroes (40 cards) is just the thing then. I'll update my file tonight. 

By 40 I think you may mean 41, or possibly 42 if you're storing an alternate card, too.

Well, I only keep the 40 cards of the deck in my hero boxes since I use oversized cards, but sure.  Whatever hero box size is.

I've updated the .zip file on my site.  The Ennead card box is now the same size as a typical hero box. Please let me know if that doesn't solve the problem.

Spiff, how do you store your SotM cards and related items? Is it easily transportable? I think the oversized villain cards, in particular, tend to be a challenge.

I tend to play almost exclusively at home, so my storage solution isn't particularly travel-oriented.  The few times I've had to take my kit on the road, I've transfered it to a cardboard box, to maximize durability over convenience and to minimize space.

Everything for my game is housed in a single plastic storage container I got from Target.  The cards in their boxes are arrayed on the bottom of the container standing up (so I can read the names of each box on their top ends).  This takes up about 2/3 of the container's floor space.  The remaining 1/3 is where I put the oversized hero and mini-boss cards, standing on their edges so that I can flip through them like a rolodex when I'm looking for heroes at the start of a game.

I use small colored plastic nuggets (similar to the glass beads everyone uses as markers in games, but plastic, smaller, and kind of jaggedey like a gold nugget) as markers for in-game effects.  I lay out a red one when someone gets +1 to damage, a green one when damage to them is reduced by 1, etc.  These all fit in a small plastic box about the size of a card box.  I also use a set of 10 dice to keep track of hp (villain and environment targets only since I've got the other trackers for heroes and villains), which also fit into a small plastic box about the size of a card box.

For the oversized villain cards and the oversized environment cards, each gets its own manila folder which has one edge taped shut.  This forms a kind of pocket I can slip the oversized cards into which keeps them together and protected.  Then I just lay the two manila folders on top of the card boxes.

The storage container fits onto my bookshelf with the other boardgames and works well for me.  Let me know if a pic would help make my explanation more comprehensible.

Interesting. Thanks.

I've gone through the new cards to make sure that what's on my accessories is reasonably accurate, and have posted new files that contain all the Infernal Relics goodness.  I was going pretty fast, so won't be surprised if I've made a couple of mistakes.  If I have, please let me know.

www.spiffworld.com/sotm

Self-critiquing my new Ennead mini-boss accessories after having used them in a game finally: they take up an awful lot of table space, seeing as how each one is the size of two normal cards side by side. However, the oversized symbol on each one makes it super easy to instantly see which mini-bosses are activated whenever a card with a particular symbol goes into the trash.  IMO, I think the bonus of the easy viewing far outweighs the size issue. 

Why is the max HP for NightMist and Argent Adept listed as "X" on the card-sized HP trackers?

The X was a placeholder before I knew the actual numbers, and I must have missed those when I made my final pass through before posting things. I'll have them updated by tomorrow night. Sorry for the inconvenience. 

I've updated the file to show the correct hp for Nightmist and Argent Adept.

I've updated the card list section of my Rules & Clarifications PDF to include all the new Infernal Relics decks, plus Unity and Ambuscade.  I also went back and made a few updates to older cards (like adding "dinosaur" to the Enraged T-Rex) and updated Absolute Zero's card count for those two cards which were changed for the EE.

www.spiffworld.com/sotm

I'm not actually seeing any of the IR decks in the pdf linked from your site. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you've said. Someone on BGG was asked for a list of Nightmist's cards. I thought to look at the end of your Rules & Clarifications PDF, but don't see the new decks there.

You're right of course, but when I tried to find the problem, I couldn't figure out what was wrong.  I was staring at the updated file right there on my screen.  And no matter how many times I posted the file to my site, the link never seemed to update to the new file.

But of course, it helps if the filename is spelled correctly, and "stom rules and clarifications" doesn't work as well as "sotm rules and clarifications" does...

You should be able to get to the updated version now.

A player contacted me today to ask why my oversized hero cards didn't use the actual incapacitated art on their backsides.  I told him the only reason was because I wasn't a huge fan of most of the incapacitated art and preferred to see the more heroic art I was using, even if it was grayed-out to indicate that the hero had been beaten.  He said he prefers to see the bloody and beaten pix when the hero had been knocked out of a fight, and since I have that art but just wasn't using it, I told him I'd be happy to make a set using the real flip side art.

I did, and I have to admit that most of them look better using that art (there are still some I'm not a fan of, but not many).  So I've updated the file on my site to the new one, since I'm guessing that most people would probably prefer to use the official art too.

I also tossed a Dark Visionary oversized card up on my site for anyone who wants to use that alt character early.  Since we don't yet know her incapacitated abilities, I'm just using Visionary's standard ones for now.

www.spiffworld.com/sotm

I was thinking this morning, since with the new expansion and a lot of people sleeving their cards, its going to be hard for them all to fit in the EE box - perhaps you could throw up some of the box art work to be printed off so people can use it on their other boxes they may be using to hold their cards? I have no idea of the legality, or if you have access to any of that art, but would be kind of cool

And thanks, too. Though I haven't personally printed out any of these, my buddy has and man they are a lot of fun to use.

I was wondering the exact same thing when I found out about your site a couple of days ago! So glad you decided to redo them in their actual incapicated form! Now I'm gonna find some way to get them printed out and fit it into the already packed box! Thanks a lot!

Here's some box art I put together myself, I use it for those white card boxes.

http://www.mediafire.com/#e4wyyd2oel3wq

I just used pictures I found for the large one, but I made the text myself using the fonts I found.

Good to know.  I kind of figured that if one guy finally decided to ask, there were probably others who hadn't asked but would still like the official art.  I'm glad he pressed me to make the change.

Updated my doc to add:

1) while you can't be made to discard more cards than you have, if you have to discard your entire hand and you have no cards in your hand, you CAN discard a hand of zero cards.

2) revealing cards will not trigger a reshuffle, so if you want to reveal 5 cards and there are only 3 cards in the deck, you only get to reveal 3.

3) you can't usually put villain character cards under Haka's "Savage Mana" for reasons I lay out in the doc, with the exception of The Chairman.

4) even though any card with a nemesis icon is the nemesis of any other card that shares that icon, no card can be the nemesis of itself, so damage it deals that gets redirected to it is not increased.

5) clarified that Ambuscade's "Charged Attacks" does indeed damage Ambuscade and other devices, potentially setting off a chain reaction of damage.

6) I reorganized the "other" section to pull out a related group of rulings into a "decks and hands" section.

I think I'd rephrase point 1).  You CAN be "made" to discard more cards than you have.  If you have 1 card, and a card "makes" you discard 2 cards, I'm pretty sure you still discard one.  However, you cannot ELECT to discard more cards than you have (for instance) to get rid of an environment card.

You can place Omnitron under the card as well, as his deck still plays even when he's gone if the right cards are out.

Omnitron is removed from play when he is destroyed, so he can't go under "Savage Mana".

Brocolli: I make that point in the doc itself.  I was just summarizing the updates I'd made here.

I updated the oversized villain cards file to include a tougher version of Gloomweaver that my family has played with and found to be satisfyingly tough (compared to the lovable pushover Gloomweaver is now).  I added the following text to the front and back of the card:

Pinned:  Heroes with one or more Voodoo Pins in play next to them may not deal damage to any other targets than one of their Voodoo Pins.

Necrotic Resilience: Zombie Servants come into play with (H) + 2 hp, instead of 2.

I put an asterisk on each side as well to make it clear that these are a variant and not the official card's rules.  I left the version with the official card's rules in the .zip file, so people can choose which one they prefer to play with.

Sorry for the double post, but I made a couple more updates tonight:

1) There have been other people posting about cards they've made to track universal modifiers like +damage for all villains, or reduced damage dealt by all heroes, etc..  I love that idea, so I made one that's sized to fit the width of an EE token and the height of one of my oversized villain cards (6-in.) so as not to take up too much room on the table.  The card is broken into four sections (heroes, villains, environment, universal) with each section being color-coded so you can tell at a glance who each token applies to.  I added a link on my accessories page and linked a pic to this post.

2) I was embarassed to realize that while I had posted an oversized hero card for Dark Visionary, I hadn't yet posted oversized cards for the Freedom Six.  I made them a while ago and have been playing with them for weeks (they're fun).  Sorry 'bout that.  They're posted to my site now.

3) I've been using my 3D tokens for weeks have have really liked them, but I've been finding that I almost never use the purple cog token and I've been wishing I had one specifically to indicate reduced damage dealt by a target.  So I swapped out the purple cog tokens for a dark red down-arrow, and while I was at it I added a second row of nemesis skull tokens (three was never enough for an Ennead fight, and with Angry Legacy on the horizon, I figured I should add more).

As always, www.spiffworld.com/sotm

spiff, when do you think you'll have classic legacy and beard haka up on your site? i really wanna use them with the spinny life counters too!

I'm waiting for the big Angry Legacy reveal to make another request for art from >G so as to not be a giant pain in the arse, asking for a new art drop every time they reveal something.  That should be soon, afterwhich I'll be able to make the oversized cards.  So, hopefully soon.

Ahh ok cool. Thanks sooo much for all the extra stuff you do for this community.

With invaluable help from UXM266, I've got my first crop of boxes for penny sleeved cards posted to my site.  Heroes only so far.  I'll post a note when villains and environments are available.

The process of converting the boxes to the new size went pretty smoothly, so I think making a third set for Dragon Shield sleeves shouldn't be too tough, once I'm done converting the full set of boxes to penny sleeves.  So stay tuned for that.

btw for anybody who is thinking of printing smaller versions on a regular deck of cards, or creating drawstring bags etc, Artscow have 25% off and free shipping using code 25OFFTHINGS (valid until 6th Dec.) So a deck of 54 cards, printed front and back, is $8.25 delivered anywhere in the world. There is also 10OFFORDERS valid till the 4th for a flat $10 off, but with the shipping a 54 deck comes to $9.98 so it's not as good overall. I have previously made playmats for Arkham Horror and RftG on mousemats, I'm thinking there might be something similar that could be done for Sentinels?

Another update:  per a special request, I've added a card box specially to hold promo cards (I guess there are so many of them by now, they need a home).  I've only got the no-sleeves version on my site so far.  When I get farther along with the sleeved boxes, I'll include the promo card with those as well.

It looks amazing Spiff.

How many cards can it hold total?

It's the same size as the villain/enviro boxes, so, 25 or more.

Awesome! Until we get more expansions, and more promos, we MIGHT need a second box with new images! :P 

Hey, Spiff. Was looking at your environments (finally ) and noticed in Crystal Vault Caverns that the Sudden Darkness doesn't include a reference to shuffle the environment deck after searching for the Cave In.

Thanks for sharing these with us - greatly appreciate it!

Thanks, I'll add that.  Also, I guess at some point I should remove my "Time Vortex" environment, which I'm assuming is probably the same sort of thing as the Time Cataclysm in Shattered Timelines (though I'm sure the official one is better).

Spiff thanks for the great contribuition.
Was wondering if you would be able to add Greatest Legacy and Eternal Haka soon.

I have an email out to Christopher asking for access to the art but haven't heard back yet.  As soon as I get my hands on the art, I can get to work making those cards.

An update to the Rules and Clarifications PDF:

1) noted that incapacitated heroes do have turns which can be skipped, they do have a usual start-of-turn and end-of-turn phase, but do not have power/play/draw phases and so can't choose to skip those.

2) reiterated that Performs and Accompanies (Argent Adept) are not powers and so can be activated multiple times during a turn if you can manage it.  It's in the IR rule book but is easy to miss.

3) noted that incapacitated heroes cannot do a discard action because they have nothing to discard (which is different from having a hand with zero cards in it)

4) first damage dealt = the very first damage dealt, so when Fanatic deals 1 melee and 1 radiant damage, effects which trigger on the first damage dealt will only trigger off of the melee damage, not the radiant damage.

5) Rook City errata: all references to "the villain character card" should be read to refer to "the villain character card with the most hp"

Note on Spiffs Sleeved Boxes for Heroes:

I FINALLY got the time to build them. And they work.

I used 65 lbs card stock (non glossy), an exacto-knife and a glue stick. The cards fit perfectly and the lids close nicely. ALso, they fit nicely into

This (http://www.bcwsupplies.com/products/trading-card-boxes/550-count-storage-box.htm) Box, with room to spare. I'll put up a picture soon.

Thanks again SPiff!

I've got the hero-sized boxes posted, and have the villains and environments ready to go.  We're just waiting to confirm that the Ennead will fit into the villain box as it is now before I post the full set to my site.

I've been working with another forumgoer on boxes that fit premium sleeves.  We're still testing out various sizes, and once we've settled on that, I can get to work putting out the boxes.

Finally, Christopher says that Adam is still putting the final touches on some of the art before I can get my hands on it, so things like the oversized Greatest Legacy and Eternal Haka are still pending.

An update:  we've worked out the template sizes for the rest of the penny sleeve sized boxes, so I can finish up those and get them posted to my site soon.  We're still working through the proper template sizes for premium sleeved boxes though.

question about your randomizer… does it treat each promo hero as it’s own entity, or does it select say, randomly legacy then random pick a promo legacy so that heroes with promos don’t come up more often?

It's been a while since I made it so I may be remembering it incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure I built it so that it selects between the base cards, then checks to see if there is an alt for the one that was chosen and then randomly decides whether to use the base one or the alt.  That way if you've got 5 Wraith alts, you won't get Wraith more often than any other hero.

However, I can't remember at the moment how I determine between base and alt cards, so I should double-check that that's the case.  That's how I want it to work.

I checked on the Randomizer code, and it is not currently working as intended.  Looks like I built it to only be able to choose between two versions of a card at a time, something that's been broken by Wraith and now Legacy (I shouldn't have built it to be so restrictive, but it seemed reasonable at the time).  Also, the way I have it determining which is the base card and which is the alt card used a manual process that I haven't kept updated over time.

I won't have time to sit down and fix it until the weekend.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

I've finished the rest of the penny sleeves card boxes and posted them to my site.  I'm a little nervous about them.  I usually print out and test things before I post them, but since I don't sleeve my cards, I can't do that with these.  If anyone finds any problems with them, please let me know.

www.spiffworld.com/sotm

I'll test them before the weekend's over.

Going over the Enhanced Edition card inserts, there are a few typos I've noticed with the Environment cards.

1. Volcanic Eruption - Spelled as Volcanic Erruption
2. V.E. Flavor text, line 2 start "the volacno"
3. While not a typo per se (and I don't know if it changed in EE or not), line 3 of V.E.'s flavor text should read "burning across the island as the lava", whereas it currently reads "burning across the island and lava"
4. Primordial Plant Life Flavor text, line 1 reads as "The clinging vines trapped tighter and", but (and again, don't know if changed in EE) should probably be "The clinging vines wrapped tighter and"
5. Pterodactyl Thief Flavor text, line 1 has "With a screch"

I know I'm probably being a stickler with most of these, since it's flavor text (aside from Volcanic Eruption), but chances are you'd want to know and fix that.

Also, if I may ask, would it be possible to re-do the oversized villain cards, but with the actual nemesis icons? There's quite a few redone heroes with more coming, and while it's nice to have the actual art of each hero the villain has as a nemesis, it just seems like there'd end up with a bit of clutter of the card. Iron Legacy comes to mind specifically when thinking about this, since you'd have to have 13(!) faces on there, as opposed to the 6 icons.

1) The EE card inserts are just me copy/pasting the information that >G made public when the EE came out.  I can't edit the images themselves, so that's not something I can change.

2) I've thought about reconsidering the decision (which seemed a good one at the time) to use the hero's faces instead of their icons, because of the problem you say -- as we get more alt heroes, the way I made my oversized villain cards could make things less clear, not more. It's still a toss-up for me, however.  I don't prefer using the icons because then you have to mentally translate the icon in your head into which hero it represents (or worse, look it up), while with a face you can immediately understand who it is.  It's really only an issue with Legacy, since his alts are different people, as opposed to everyone else whose alts are just different versions of the same people.  That means that with Spite, I can use the base Wraith's face and not have to put Rook City Wraith or F6 Wraith on there too.  But I've put both Daddy and Baby Legacy on Baron Blade's oversized card, and now I guess I'd have to put Grandpa Legacy's face too?  I agree it's not elegant.

At this point, I don't think I'll be changing them to use the icons instead of faces, because of the preference against it I mentioned above.  Iron Legacy isn't his own nemesis, so I won't have to put a row of Legacy faces on there anyway.  It'll still just be Baron Blade that I'll have to figure out what to do with.

UPDATE: oops, I just remembered that F6 Bunker is a different person than regular Bunker, so I'll have to figure out what to do about that now too. :(

I've gotten my hands on some of the new art, so I've posted a few updates.  The file on my site that used to include oversized hp trackers for just Dark Visionary and the Freedom Six now also includes Eternal Haka (same deal as the others - the front of the card has new art and rules, back of the card is Haka's old art and rules, which I'll update once the promo cards are actually available).  I've also updated the oversized villain cards for Omnitron, Cosmic Omnitron, and Plague Rat so they now show the faces of their nemeses, replacing the "?" they used to have.

I still don't have Greatest Legacy's art, but when I get it, I'll post an oversized promo card for that as well.

www.spiffworld.com/sotm

Hi Spiff, thanks for the updates.  The Cosmic Omnitron front didn't get the updated file.  The other 5 are updated.  Thanks.

Whoops, thanks for catching that.  Update posted.

Updates to my files today:

1) I finally got ahold of Greatest Legacy art, so now he's got an oversized hero card on my site along with the Freedom Six, Eternal Haka, and Dark Visionary promos.

2) Christopher says he's fine with with my posting these promo cards before the actual cards are available as long as people don't get confused by them (remember, since the actual cards aren't available yet, I'm using the core hero's art/rules on the backs for now, and will update them with the actual stuff when it's available).  So to avoid any confusion, I've added a watermark of sorts on each making it clear that the art/rules on the back aren't actually the art/rules for that promo.

3) When I first started making these accessories, I didn't have the actual font used by the SotM cards so I used a generic comic sans font.  Each new round of accessories I've made has used one of the older ones as a template, so even though I've actually got the real font now, they all use that lame font.  I finally decided that I've had enough of that, so today I went back through every one of my oversized hero and villain cards and updated the fonts to use the one the real cards use.  They look much better now, but even I won't be re-printing every one of them immediately (there are quite a few of them).  I'll probably print a couple every now and then until I've updated everything.

4) I've removed the quarter-sized hp trackers from my site.  I never particularly loved them, and I know of no one who does.  I've recently tried to make an improved version of them, and even the improved version isn't significantly better than just using dice (primary problem: you can change a dice with one hand but manipulating any kind of a spinner takes both hands).  So, since they suck, they are now gone.

5) Finally, just a note to say that I'm making pretty good progress on the new batch of accessories for Shattered Timeline and expect to have everything ready by March if it turns out that we get it that early (fingers crossed).  I'll post the new card boxes (both unsleeved and penny sleeved versions) as soon as they're ready so people can start printing and assembling them early.  The other stuff will be posted when the expansion has shipping.

www.spiffworld.com/sotm

Spiff, I would like to make a request.

For us obsessive, neurotic completionists, would you be willing to make custom dividers, in the same style as the official >G-issued ones, for the promo versions of each hero?

I'm guessing that you use your custom tuckboxes for your SotM decks, but I (and others, I'm sure) like and use the pretty pretty dividers >G provides.  I'm considerings ordering duplicates of the decks for Legacy and Bunker, since their promos represent completely different people.  Given the "time as a ball of yarn" plot device of the Shattered Timelines story arc, having different versions of each hero fighting side by side is very plausible and interesting, and I really want to have a "Family Reunion" battle of Finest Legacy, Newest Legacy, and Greatest Legacy versus Iron Legacy.

I imagine you're busy with developing your own ideas, but you ever have some downtime, please consider this.

-CSR

Exactly that thing (dividers that look like the official ones but for promo heroes) has been made by jagarciao here on the forums.  He's shown me pix, so I know they exist.  Maybe he can post a link where people could download them?

I just created a thread where I posted the PDFs of the files Iused to make my dividers:

https://greaterthangames.com/forum/topic/dividers-for-promo-alternate-hero-decks-3076

I don't really have anywhere to host the images so those PDFs were the best I could do. If someone wants the actual (and much larger) image files, just PM me and I can email them.

Gentlemen, Spiff, Jagarciao, thank you for the prompt response.

And, thank you both for your contributions in supporting the fan base for this amazing game with your excellent work.

-CSR

For anyone who wants to get printing and assembling early, I've updated my site with a link to a .zip file containing all the card boxes for the Shattered Timelines expansion, including the promo decks.  It contains just the no-sleeve-cards size right now, but I should be able to get the penny-sleeve-size done and posted soon.

I've got the rest of the accessories ready to go, though I won't be posting those until I get my hands on my ST shipment so I can verify the info I've got on them matches what's on the actual cards.

Once I've verified the info, my plan is to post a single .zip file that contains all the different accessories for everything in Shattered Timelines so that you don't have to re-download all the other stuff to get at the new stuff.  At some point in the future, I'll merge the ST stuff in with the rest of the normal .zip files.

www.spiffworld.com/sotm

Penny sleeve-sized boxes have been added to the group of Shattered Timelines card boxes on my site, so if you're a penny sleeve type of person, you can head over there and start printing, cutting, folding, and gluing.

Small update to the Shattered Timelines card boxes on my site - once I'd printed them all out and put them together, I decided I didn't like the way the Scholar's box looked (his picture wasn't balanced well on the front of the box).  So I adjusted his box so he's more centered.  I also decided that the logos on the tops of the boxes would look better if they were more centered, so I adjusted those too.

If you've already printed the boxes, these changes are not that big of a deal.  I'll probably re-print the Scholar's box but leave the others as they were.  But since it wasn't perfect, I figured I should make the changes for anyone who comes along later.

Just stumbled on this thread. Spiff, you rock! We haven't tried any of the print and play accessories yet, but the compiled PDFs alone are incredible. THANK YOU FOR THIS!

You got it, buddy. :)

Just as a quick note - while the quarter counters weren't perfect, I found them to be less vulnerable than dice or M&Ms.  Especially M&Ms

An actual user of the quarter counters!  Let me know if I should put them back on the site, or if I should post my v2 experiment that improved on the quarter counters, but not by enough to make me use them in my own games.

Put the V2s out, and my group will play-test them!  We have a sheet of the V1s that get used weekly.

Awesome.  I'll post it tonight.

I've posted both versions of the small hp trackers to my site.

Thanks!  The new ones look less fidly to assemble.  I'll tell you about how they work in my next game (which will probably be either tomorrow or March 7)

Posted an update to my Rules and Clarifications doc:

1) The Toxic Sludge clarification (it's not that each player discards 1 card so one environment card total may be destroyed, it's that each player may discard 1 card, and anyone who does may destroy one environment card).

2) Added a clarification about how when a card says "if you take X damage, you deal X damage to another target", it's not the same thing as redirecting damage.

3) Citizen Dawn clarification (she is a Citizen, and so should be counted when you're determining if she should flip from her back side, but since she's not a card that can be revealed from the deck when you're initially laying out Citizens during setup, she won't count there).

4) I included a few links where I had them, to back up the claims made in the doc.  Going forward, I'm going to try to include those whenever I can.

Just wanted to say that I appreciate your randomizer, Spiff. Had Sentinels a few weeks now (original game plus Infernal Relics and Rook City) and I never don't use the randomizer for my games.

Fantastic, glad to hear you like it.

I got to use the counters Mk 2 last night and I prefer them to the original quarter counters.  They worked well enough that one of our first time players, a youngish person, decided that handling all the villians targets counters were her job.

Thanks so much for putting new  counters out there.  I prefer them to any method of HP tracking I've tried for tracking small targets.

hey spiff I updated the wiki with all the Promo heroes incapacitated side powers of you want to update your big cards

@Amnachaidh - that's great to hear.  If, as you're using them, you decide that some change would make them even better, be sure to let me know.

@lynkfox - I'd planned on posting all the ST stuff at once, but I still have no idea when my cards will arrive, so maybe I will post the promos early.  Thanks.

Big change to my site today.  Since I now have a guest on spiffworld.com/sotm (see below), I figured I should clean the place up a bit.  So I completely changed the look/feel of the site to match the main Spiffworld site I have for my videos.  The print & play accessories are on their own page now, and there's a new page where you can find accessories made by people other than me.

The first addition to the non-Spiff page are the great accessories made by our fellow forum-goer jagarciao.  Look there to get his hp tracker mat, his alt hero divider cards, and the hero icon .png files he made.  If there are other accessories around the Internets that people find indispensible, l'd be happy to link to them as well.

I still don't have my ST cards, so I haven't posted the ST updates yet, but that shouldn't be too long now, so expect another announcement soon.

Hmm, No more Promo hero cards?

Btw, LOVE the stuff on there spiff. Great Job and Many Thanks!

I didn't bother including them because I figure I'll just be folding them in with the rest of the ST stuff (hopefully) soon.  But Greatest Legacy won't be included in that, so I should add him back.  I'll do that now.

Awesome, thanks again for hosting my files!!

Awesome stuff as always Spiff, but now I have a lot of work putting together yet another round of card holders.

One thing though. I believe that the image for Time Cataclysm in your random game generator is actually an image for The Block. That is if I deselect every environment but the Time Cataclysm the results show The Block.

Fantastic catch.  You're right, of course.  I had the images for The Block and Time Cataclysm switched.  Fixed it.  Thanks!

I just added a link to P.D. Magnus' offline randomizer to the non-Spiff section of the site.

I'm pleased to report that I've updated my site to include the Shattered Timelines accessories, available in a single .zip file for your downloading pleasure.

Thank you spiff! and congratz on you getting your cards....ill punch the universe in the face next time I see it for the delay.

Spiff, thanks a million.  I made all of the hit point counters and my kids love them.  Kudos to you for a job well done.  Now I have to go and make the Shattered Timelines set.  It felt wrong to play as Chrono-Ranger and not have a dial to spin;)

Thanks a ton Spiff!

Does anyone know where I can find a pic of the back side of Granpa Legacy?

In the future!

Ha! Awesome - if somewhat cruel - answer, Christopher.

And about what we would expect.

(to be more specifice, Greateste Legacy is not being released until Vengeance - so we wont know until then. (well I as a play tester will know slight berore then, but… XD)

Oh! Ok, thanks for letting me know!

Hey Spiff,

Thanks so much for your hard work on the counters.  I find I prefer the V2 Quarter Counters quite a bit over the originals.  Do you plan to do small villain counters for ST?

Thanks,

-Amnachaidh

Holy smokes!  I made them, and have even printed them out and used them, but I just checked and you're right -- they're not included in the ST .zip file.  I'll add them when I get home tonight.  Sorry 'bout that.

No problem.  I've been using a stack of ten point counters for the new villains and it's worked fine.

I've updated the ST .zip file to include the card-sized villain hp trackers.  Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Someone pointed out to me that there were a handful of typos in the Enhanced Edition card inserts file on my site (the thing you could print out and slip into your 1st Edition sleeved cards so you could use the new rules without needing to buy the EE).  They were all in the environments inserts, but they're fixed now.

Spiff - Are they significant typos - or just misspelled words here and there?  I'd rather not redo them if it's only a matter of minor correctios.  Thank you again for the mini-spinners.

I like your accessories Spiff... I've just started playing SotM with my husband, and I've really been wanting some Immune to Fire/Cold/Toxic etc markers. Guess I should hit photoshop!

It was just misspelled words:

On Enviro Inserts 2: pterodactyl thief flavor text - with a screch, volcanic erruption; also in flavor text - volacno

On Enviro Inserts 4: the kraken - apendage

On Enviro Inserts 5: mysical defenses

On Enviro Inserts 7: Fire in the Biosphere flavor text - it's hotter that the gates

Jagarciao made a couple more items which I've added to my site -- a Freedom Five icon to go with the other hero icons, and a third page of promo dividers containing Cosmic Omnitron, Mad Bomber Blade, and Greatest Legacy.

It's come to my understanding that not everyone knows that I have an alternate oversized card for Mr. Fixer (Stance Shifting Master) on my site.  It was (and still is) part of the general oversized hero hp tracker .zip file, but I've pulled it out into its own entry on the printable accessories page now to increase its discoverability.

I play with it every time I play Fixer, and it really makes him more fun to play.  It encourages you to play new styles and tools to get a bonus to damage.  The constant shift between styles and tools throughout the game feels like exactly the kind of thing a Zen martial arts mechanic master would do to keep his enemies off balance. 

Was looking for it yesterday, but couldn't find it.

I forgot does this version of him return the Stance card to hand like you do for style? Unless I missed something for description.

Thanks for that.

All it does is boost his damage by 1 if you've played a Style or Tool card that turn. If you prefer to use additional house rules about returning cards to your hand, you can, of course, play however you like, but there's nothing about that on the card. 

Ah okay cool. I have just been confused cause there seems to be so many versions. The fact you mentioned him as constantly switching styles made me think Styles were being returned to his hands.

Jagarciao has done it again, with a new set of card dividers oriented vertically rather than horizontally, perfect if you store your cards on their ends instead of their sides.  The dividers use the official art, have icons to show which expansion they're from, and even have numbers on them to show the complexity or difficulty of the hero or villain.  You can find these dividers on the "non-spiff" page of my site.

I just wanted to say that I put together all of the oversized Hero HP trackers, as well as 30 of the Mk 2 quarter-sized trackers, and I'm absolutely loving them.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought of this, but I used a glue stick in addition to tape, on the oversized HP trackers, to help hold them all together firmly.  For the little guys, I only needed a small bit of tape.

Thanks for all your hard work, Spiff!

Nice.  For the oversized trackers, I use tape to keep the inside piece/spinner in place, then just put 8 pieces of tape around the outside to secure the front to the back.  Using a gluestick would probably help keep them looking nicer since you wouldn't have to see the tape.

smafdi lamenated one.

one.

he didnt bother with the rest :P

Due to the cost and amount of work yes, I only did one lol. If we ever get laminating sheets and a machine in at work I might go back and redo all of them.

Clarification doc has been updated:

• added clarification about how a target can enter/exit play even if the card itself doesn't.
• added a note that Legacy will usually (though not always) not benefit from his own "Galvanize" power since it will usually be activated during his Power phase (after any damaging one-shots) and will de-activate at his start-of-turn phase (before he gets a chance to play cards or use powers).
• notes that hero cards under La Capitan or Savage Mana go away when the hero in question is incapacitated.

I also made some minor fixes to the Card List (added hp totals to cards where I'd forgotten to do that previously.  The list of cards itself is still the same).

I've updated the Biographies PDF on my site to include Shattered Timelines.  There's nothing on the official website about the Freedom 6, so I included them in my doc but I put in just the tiny bit about each one that is known for sure (e.g. Engine of War is no longer Tyler Vance).

Just wanted to post here to show what I'm using to store my Sentinels
It is the Magic Holiday pack
Stores all expansions with heaps of room
and with Spiff's Help some very very nice looking dividers


 

20130417_095605.jpg1024×768 255 KB

I was trying and trying to figure out how you'd gotten those dividers, because I was pretty sure I'd never made any dividers (maybe I'd made them when I was asleep?)  But those are just the fronts and tops of the of the card boxes with a black border added!  Ingenius!

Yeah after i made the AZ divider where i removed the top line in the box… i got lazy and all the others have the line left in
they are different demension to the boxes (taller and narrower)
 

Last night, we played a game of SotM with a truly epic table bump, sending the dice we were using to track hp of each of Citizen Dawn's minions flying.  This morning, I vowed to start using the tiny hp trackers I have on my site instead of dice, but I still don't love them enough to use them.  They're too complicated.

So I iterated again and came up with a third version of them that I think gets it right.  They're easy to assemble, simple to use, and while you do still need to use both hands to hold it while adjusting the spinner, I think the advantages are strong enough that I'm finally going to start using them instead of dice to track minion hp.

The new file is on my site if you're interested in checking it out.

Updates to my site tonight:

• I've rolled the Shattered Timelines accessories in with all the others accessories, so now you'll get them along with each type of accessory rather than in a .zip of just ST stuff.
• I've taken all non-standard oversized character cards out of the regular .zip files and now have a "custom characters" section in which you can find anything I've made changes to which make them different from the approved versions.  Currently in that section are:

• Akash'bhuta: Nature's Fury. Akash'bhuta starts with a few Primeval Limbs in play at the start of the game, which makes the game a bit more action-packed from the get-go.
• Ambuscade: Trapmaster. Changes the way trap cards work (they trigger immediately when revealed rather than being buried back in the deck) and puts traps into play face-down at the start of the game, waiting to be revealed when Devices are destroyed. Changes Ambuscade from a faceroll to a fun challenge.
• Gloomweaver: Extra Gloom. Increases the challenge of Gloomweaver quite a bit by making zombies much tougher and making it so that heroes who are pinned can't deal damage to anything but their pin until it's been destroyed. This version feels more like a "3" difficulty villain than his normal version does.
• Mr. Fixer: Stance-Shifting Master. Changes Fixer's base power so that if a stance or tool was played that turn, his Strike ability does one extra damage. This encourages the player to continually swap out stances and tools like a good martial arts mechanic would, but doesn't penalize you if you want to keep the stance/tool you have in play.
• Wraith: Rook City Detective. This changes Rook City Wraith's base power by just a bit, allowing Wraith to not only discard or play a revealed environment card, put also put it back on top of the deck if you want. This increases the amount of deck control the power provides to make it feel more right to me.

Just purchased the Enhanced Edition last week and now my gaming group and I are hooked!  Your print and play accessories look fantastic and based on this forum, you've really done a lot to support this game.  First, thanks for taking time out to make these available for fans of the game.  Second, unfortunately, when I go to the page, the only links that are "live" to me are the Universal Effects Tracker and everything below that.  Every link above that point does not work for me.  Anyway, I definitely appreciate the links I can use and my gaming group and I thank you!

Nothing's changed which should make some of the links on the page work and others not, and I just tested the links on the page, and they all work for me.  So I'm a little stumped.  Could you give me more information about what about them isn't work?  Are you getting an error of some kind when you click a link?  You say only some links are "live", which I think means that only some are clickable?  What happens when you try viewing the page in another browser?  Does the same thing happen?

Just fyi, I'm not having any trouble with any of the links on your SotM site, Spiff.

Yeah, I've had issues using my browser at work to get to your site, Spiff. There I have to use IE... <*shudder*> I just always assumed it was my work's confige messing with things and didn't worry about it.

I've only ever used IE, so I'm downloading Google Chrome to see if that helps.  I never really paid attention until you asked Spiff, but when I bring up the page, the first paragraph appears to continue along the right edge of the page.  Also, I can now see that some of the pictures are appearing on top of text.  The first link "how I store my SotM accessories" works as in, when I put my mouse over it, it highlights in red and I can see the web address at the bottom of my browser, but all the links below that are "dead" (do not highlight, cursor does not change, no web address appears) until I get to the "Universal Effects Tracker " link.  All of the links below that point are live. 

Just finished downloading Chrome and the page works perfectly now.  I guess I've just been converted to Chrome!  FYI, I was using IE 9 in case anyone else has this issue.  I'm printing on photograph paper and the pieces look gorgeous.  Thanks again!

Spiff,

I'm sorry that I didn't see this until now, and that you had an Anne Wheaton*.  I look forward to making and trying this version of the tracker.  The second were better than the first, and I hope the third continue the trend.  This would be very different, for example, than the Gamma World rule sets. 

Amnachaidh

• I hope that Anne Wheaton would take this in good fun.  I played Ticket to Ride yesterday with my wife and son, and could not help to think of the very funny and real moment on Table Top.

Sorry about the IE problem.  I don't anticipate me spending much (any) time to make my site IE-compatible, so I'm glad you were able to work around the problem using a different browser. :)

And I don't think you should.

So, I decided to see what everyone was talking about with the site being messed up, and, while using Internet Explorer, I didn't see anything at all messed up or out of place or broken with the website.  Then I noticed people mentioning Internet Explorer 9, while I was using Internet Explorer 10. I hit the "Compatibility View" button, then the website dramatically changed and the first paragraph was horribly broken (the rest was just fine, though in a much different layout).  So, definately there is no need to make the site Internet Explorer compatible, as Microsoft is already doing that (though at a slower rate as it releases at major release points, as opposed to the nearly daily updates that other browsers tend to have).

On a different topic regarding my site, I had thought last month that I was going to start regularly going over my bandwidth limits for my webhost, which would mean that I'd have to start paying more for making my accessories available to the netterwebs.  I thought that my stuff was just that popular.  However, after looking into it, it turns out that 90% of that bandwidth was coming from spambots who were posting thousands of posts on a blog I hadn't touched since 2010.  I deleted all traces of the blog from my site and now my bandwidth is back to normal, sustainable levels.  Turns out, my stuff isn't as popular as I thought, which is a good thing. :)

Maybe not but I just discovered this game and your site recently. I liked it so much I had to tweet and facebook about it.

Now I'm busy cutting out all the really neat tuck boxes for the decks, thanks for that!

That's what it's there for.  Glad you like it. :)

Hey, Nod_Hero! Welcome to the forums! #Sotmv

Heyo!

The ONLY complaint I have about this game is that table real estate by the end of games gets a little chaotic.   I love the oversized villain cards, but it exacerbates the problem.  

Does anyone know  something that can be used for card stands?  I'm thinking something along the lines of Scrabble tile holders.  Something we can stick on the far edge of the table and prop the card upright in.  I don't actually own a copy of Scrabble, so I can't test out those specifically, but I'm guessing they won't work because I don't think they have a proper groove and probably not enough weight.  

There are probably some desk accessories at Office Depot or Staples that are bottom-heavy enough and have something to hold notes or paper. Or maybe even countertop business card or flyer holders.  A bit more pricey and bulky than I'd like, but I think anyone in this thread is all about going the deluxe route for presenting and playing this game!

I just had another idea.  I'm going to try to convert a couple of cardboard trading card boxes (the ones that hold a thousand cards) into something that looks exactly like a mini comic book longbox.  

Memoir 44 has stands that click together that hold the cards upright. It is not worth buying the game just for the stands (unless you want it anyways), but if someone in your group has it, just ask him to bring the stands.

Yeah, those are exactly what I'm talking about.  However it doesn't look like DoW or anyone sells them standalone (that's the first time I've ever typed that word and it literally meant stand alone).

I've been playing around with the office supplies I have lying around, and binder clips seem to work pretty well in a ghetto pinch.  Two ways.  One is to clamp the clip on the extreme edge of the bottom of the card and fold out the 'handles' to act as a kind of base.  I'm using the super-mini binder clips and they aren't leaving any indentations on the sides of the cards, but I also have them in sleeves so indentations should never be a problem.  An alternate way is to just place the card in between the clip and the folded back handle (I'll post pics later).  It's a bit more of an extreme angle, but still takes up a lot less room than laying them flat.  

I'm having a hard time envisioning what you want to do. You want the card (which card?) to stand up so only you can see its face and everyone else can only see its back?

No.  Like for the villain cards (especially oversized cards) or when a table setup makes it easier to place all hero cards to the edges of the table (like when each player is playing more than one hero).  Prop up the cards where everyone can see them easily.  It doesn't save THAT much space, but when the table is cramped, it's nice to have a villain card propped up with the deck/tokens in front of it.  Plus it makes for a more dramatic presentation of the villain.    I'll put together a sample layout and snap a few photos of it (but not tonight).

I follow you. Have you actually tried scrabble stands? You mentioned them and it seems like they might work. In fact you could probably play with the environment deck that way. We never seem to have more than a few environment cards out at one time. Except in the Tomb of Anubis. 

Exactly.  Propping up everything with HP will let them stand out from effects-only cards and give us a bit more room.  I don't have a scrabble game, but I wonder if I don't put a groove in there if the cards will just slide forward or tip over backwards.  I'll go check my local thrift stores tomorrow to see if there happen to be any Scrabble games available.  Plus Hobby Lobby seems likely to have SOMEthing that accomplishes the same goal.  

There are oversized card protectors that have bases for display purposes.

Is this any use? http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/925354/origami-cardtile-rack-from-a4-paper

You could make the same folds on a piece of paper that's the same width as a single card, or cut up a full-sized one once it's folded.

A simpler one with a single pleat is also a possibility - if it's of interest to anyone, I can have a go at figuring that out and post it here?

Maybe we could move discussion of a card holder to its own "card holder" topic?  This is the topic for my accessories, and an origami card holder isn't one of my accessories.

Well...maybe it should be. I want mine to look like a Crane

Good point! Sorry to contribute to the thread hijacking Spiff, I was just trying to be helpful.

And my apologies: I'd split the thread but Mods don't have the ability to split threads in the new forums (that I can find, anyway).

Much apologies, sir.  When I brought this box cutter into this thread, I had no intention of hijacking it.  But when the opportunity presented itself...  

Hey Spiff, when will you add the ability to download a Spiff, that would be the best accessory. He can answer rules questions, give hints, and even play a hero when you are short a player. I could really use one.

That sounds like a great accessory. I'll get right on it. ;)

As long as he fits in the box if he's sleeved.

Spiff, I just had a look at your oversized villain cards (since I'm having no luck finding regular sized promo villains) and they look awesome and I really want to print them. I especially like that you've made the start and end of turn actions very clear.

Except...

... it confuses my poor tired brain that the Start symbol is red and the End symbol is green, the opposite of the official tokens (and my own homemade ones).

How much trauma would it be to switch the colours round on the villain cards?

Technically, my icons came before >G made their tokens.  Maybe they're the ones who need to change. ;)

I'm interested in how you came to the decision to use red for start and green for end - to me green means go and red means stop, so the "official" colours feel much more natural to me.

I can't say it was a well-thought out process.  In fact, had I considered the choice better, I would never have used those colors at all since they're the worst possible choices for colorblind people.  Maybe blue and yellow (or something else) would be even better.  But if I stick with red and green, you're right that green for start and red for stop makes more sense.

However, you're the first person to express dissatisfaction with the color choice, so I don't know if that means that everyone else agrees with you but never bothered to say anything, or if it means that everyone else likes it the way it is and they'd become irate if I changed things.  I'm not adverse to changing things, but I have a bias towards inaction unless I'm sure the change is both necessary and helpful.

Well there are three main types of colourblindness and for one of them distinguishing between yellow and blue is difficult so it's a tricky one. But since you have the SV and EV letters that means everyone can distinguish the two, even if the colours aren't the most colourblind-friendly.

It's quite likely that I'm being more picky than the average person would be - I'm an artist and so spend half my life obsessing about the exact colour I want to use and how I'm going to create it, so it's something I can't help but see.

And not that I'm trying to be critical, you understand, it's just that I love those cards but I know if I print them the "wrongness" will drive me crazy. Feel free to tell me to get over it, especially if everyone else is happy. ;)

Not just Silverleaf - I just didn't worry about it because it's not my stuff and I've had bigger things to deal with.

What are we actually proposing here?  Just swapping the red and green, or accepting that red and green aren't good choices and we need to use something else entirely?  I imagine you'd say we just need to swap the red and green because the fact that they don't match the tokens is your main issue, but that doesn't feel like a full solution perhaps.

BTW, I never noticed the discrepancy between the official tokens and my icons because I use my 3D pyramid tokens rather than those tokens, and the pyramid colors match the villain icon colors perfectly.  That's my preferred solution of course - everyone should use the 3D tokens instead!

If you were to swap red and green round but also wanted to make it colour-blind friendly, you could always make it white letters in a red box and black letters in a green box (or red letters in a white box and green letters in a black box) or vice versa.

For me there are two issues: matching my existing tokens, and the whole red=stop psychology thing. It's why I chose to make stop/start tokens myself rather than using your 3D tokens, to be honest, as much as I like the look of them otherwise.

I just ran a small clipping of Dawn's card through a colourblindness simulator.

As you can see, the red and green are actually distinguishable for two of the three main types of colourblindness, and with a little bit of extra contrast (e.g. by darkening the red a bit) or outlining the coloured text in, say, black for one colour and white for the other, it'd be fine for the third type too.

Not that it's strictly necessary for colourblindfriendliness since the text is different, but we're talking perfect world here, right?

As to the swapping of colours, maybe you could have two versions available - the existing one that matches your 3D tokens, and a swapped one that matches the official tokens. Of course it would be completely unreasonable for me to ask you to use up your precious time, effort and bandwidth for my pickiness…

I think I might have a go at editing them myself when I get time.

I'm interested in the design being correct too, so while it will be a chunk of work, the OCD program manager in me doesn't mind that kind of thing.  I'll take a look at it this weekend and see what I can do.

I'm guessing that what I'll end up with will be (a) swapping red and green but probably not changing the hue of either, (b) looking for a different shape to enclose one of the two icons so that, for example, the "SV" was inside a box but the "EV" was inside a circle, and (c) swapping the colors of the matching "S" and "E" 3D pyramid tokens so that everything is in alignment.  If I can do that, I think this will address the main concerns.  People who have been using the accessories as they are (like me) will have to decide if these changes are a big enough deal to require reprinting the accessories.

If I can't find a second enclosing shape for the "EV" that I like, I'll just stick with the box.  It's not like you can't tell the two apart as they are (one has an "S" and one has an "E" after all), so that's a priority-2 concern, I think.

Quick and dirty suggestion would be make the start of turn highlighted green and a circle, make the end of turn be highlighted red and a hexagon (kind of looks like a stop sign).

Great idea.  I'll see how that looks.

Brilliant, that sounds like a great idea. :) Thanks! :)

I've looked into things, and it looks like the 100% solution I wanted will be a bigger pain in the butt than I anticipated.  Here are the issues and my proposed plan:

1) My icons aren't really icons.  In the case of the "SV" and "EV" icons, they're just the letters "SV" or "EV" alongside the letter "c" using the Webdings font ("c" displays as a hollow box), with the kerning between the two parts adjusted so that they overlap, making it look like it's a single icon of letters inside a box.  This works well because it allows me to have the "icon" be in-line with the rest of the text, so that as I adjust the text, the "icon" adjusts along with everything else.  If I used an image for the icon instead, every time I adjusted the text a little, I'd have to manually change things so the text flowed properly around the image, which would be a lot of extra work.

2) Why is this a problem?  Because if you click that link for the Webdings font, you'll see that for jeebus-only-knows-why reason, there is a hollow-box webding but not a hollow-circle webding, and certainly no hollow-hexagon.  It's the same for the Symbols font and every other font that I have that uses symbols.  That means unless I want to do a TON of extra work (spoiler: I don't), we're stuck with using the same box shape for "start" and "end".  No stop signs for "stop" and no circles for "start".

3) There are other symbols in that Webdings chart that I could use instead of the hollow-box, and I played around with a couple.  The one that interested me the most was the jaggy speech bubble symbol that maps to the "}" key (very comixy).  However, every one I tried, most especially the jaggy speech bubble, looked too cartoony in the end, and I decided I preferred the simplicity of the box.

So the upshot is what you see in the attached image.  All I'm planning on doing is swapping the colors, making "start" green and "end" red.  Please think that over, and if that won't be enough to make you want to use the villain cards, then there's no point in me even putting in that much effort, and I'll just leave things as they are now.

I have recently gotten involved with this game and then found your website. I must say Spiff great job on all the accessories. I absolutely love them all. I would be more then happy with the change of [SV] and [EV] colors changing. That is about the only thing i wanted changed. I must say that your over sized Ennead are the best things ever. the fact that you can easily read what each one does and what symbols they react to is awesome. Your mat for global effects is another item that just screams must have.

so all in all i must say thanks again.

Thanks, glad you like them.  It sounds like swapping the colors will be a generally positive change, so I'll try to find some time to do that soon.

I updated the oversized villain cards (including the Advanced-mode cards) and the 3D pyramid tokens on my site so that start-of-turn icons are green and end-of-turn icons are red.  Thanks, Silverleaf, for prompting me to make this change - once you pointed it out, I couldn't look at them the way they were and not see that they were wrong.

I also (just now) added a whole new accessory.  Our gaming group has found that even with decks we're familiar with, when we play a card that lets you search your deck for a certain type of card, there's often a lull in the action as the player picks through every card in the deck looking at all of their choices. A better solution would be to have a quick-reference sheet listing the possible options for each of the search cards so that you could choose the card you wanted before you even picked up the deck to find it.  For example, there's a sheet listing of all of Omnitron-X's platings and components, with each card's text displayed, for when you play his "Technological Advancement" card.  This set of sheets has 4" x 5" sections, one for each search card, which you cut out and keep handy whenever you need to find that perfect card.  Available now on the "printable" page on my site.

Full disclosure: a fellow on BGG posted a version of this information a few weeks ago, and I liked the idea enough that I thought I'd take a shot at prettying it up with some art and standard page sizes and such.  I tried finding the post again so I could give him credit by name, but I can't find it.  In any case, I think it's a great idea, and was not originally mine.

Also, technically Ra has a search card, but it only lets him find his Staff of Ra, so I didn't bother with that one.

The user's name is Eeeville.

Those search sheets look better than the plain ones Eeville put up and the inclusion of the Argent's instrument activations is just what I need, I'm always forgetting what I need from his deck.

However, you've made the same mistake Eeeville did, and as I pointed it out to him I feel I should be the one to point it out to you too, Unity can also get Equipment cards with Flash Forge (I feel like I'm simultaneously existing in multiple 'verses!)

Oy, Unit's bots barely fit onto one of those little sheets.  No idea how I'll cram equipment on there too, but I'll take a look.  Thanks for the heads up.

It's meant to be an aid, not a replacement right? I think I'd have just summaries for the cards rather than the whole text.

Bee Bot (x3) 1 HP

Destroys Ongoing/Environments when destroyed

Raptor Bot (x3) 2 HP

Deal damage at the end of your turn

Platform Bot (x3) 2 HP

Deal damage at the end of your turn

Stealth Bot (x1) 5 HP

Redirects and reduces damage

Swift Bot (x1) 6 HP

Play 2 cards and Draw 2 card each turn

Cryo Bot (x1) 7 HP

Deals damage when attacked

Champion Bot (x1) 8 HP

increase damage you and your bots deal

Turret Bot (x1) 9 HP

Do damage at the start of your turn

Construction Pylon (x3)

Play 2 Bots

Modular Workbench(x3)

Discard a card, play a Bot

One sentence per card reduces the amount of space without losing anything vital to the search cards. (plus I personally feel real iffy about putting out the cards word for word)

No, thank you - they look fantastic. I apologise for making extra work for you!

Still you've made extra work for me too, because now I have some printing to do…

@Matchstickman: yeah, that's what I'll have to do.  I'd like to have some info that would help you determine why you'd want to pick a certain card, rather than just showing the names of the possible cards to pick, but we'll see what I can get to fit.

Nice!  I don't know if I'll reprint the oversized cards.  They may be more readily followed, but the improvement is minor enough for me to wait.

The Search "cheat sheets" are a greatly needed help, though.  I especially like the Argent Adept's instrument chart. 

Thank you.

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to re-print my stable of cards just for the color change.  Not sure what I'll do when the next expansion's cards are ready though.  Aw, who am I kidding? I'll probably re-print the whole set at that point. ;)

The Argent Adept chart is the main reason I wanted to make the search sheets.  I have always wished I had a more graphical representation of what types of cards each instrument covers to help me understand better why I'd want any given one.

The AA table is awesome, I can see it helping me a lot since I'm an AA n00b (think I've played him like 4 times, and at least 3 of theose were when I had Ronway to tell mw what to do, lol).

Just thought I'd let you know that the EV on Ambuscade's front side is in green - the rest look perfect though!

I'm surprised I only screwed up one of them. ;). I'll update that tonight. 

I've updated the files with a fixed Ambuscade, and a Unity search sheet that includes equipment.  It's relatively readable still, so that's good.

I've updated the FAQ with the rulings Ronway recently reported.  I also updated the penny-sleeve card boxes file.  A long-suffering SotM fan informed me that I'd made a mistake with the Iron Legacy, Kismet, and La Capitan penny-sleeve boxes.  They were accidentally made using the 3/4-inch template (hero sized) rather than the 5/8-inch template (villain sized), which resulted in lots of extra room in those boxes.  I've updated them to use the proper template.  All the other villain boxes are (as far as I know) correctly sized.

Dang. I noticed that too but as I’ve just finished all of my boxes I’m not going back to reprint them. Thanks so much for proving these by the way. I’m now keeping all my decks in their new boxes in the bottom of an XBox 360 box (they fit perfectly) with everything else in the Shattered Timelines box on top.

Sorry about that.  Since I don't sleeve my cards, I never actually printed those out like I do all the others, so I never noticed the discrepancy.

I've made the recently revealed "G.I. Bunker" into an oversized hero card, available now for your printing pleasure.  I don't have time to update my site with a pic and link, but the file can be accessed directly here.  I'll update my site soon.

Just like with Greatest Legacy, since all we've been shown is the front of the card, I'm using the rules and art from the back of the base hero card for now.  When we get more information about what goes on the back for reals, I'll update my version.

Eagle-eyed SotM fan "svestus" contacted me to point out that all the oversized Ennead mini-boss cards had the same scarab image on their incapacitated side rather than showing their individual heiroglyph like they do on their fronts.  So, I've updated the villain oversized cards .zip file with corrected version.

Also, I've made a couple of updates to the FAQ.  I've been dribbling in updates over the past couple of weeks, so I don't actually remember all of what's been updated.  The most major things are adding a bit about how the damage boost from Explosive Wagon is still in effect when Explosive Wagon itself deals damage when it's destroyed, and trying (I hope correctly) to describe why infinitely redirecting damage to stack beneficial effects along the way won't actually work.

I've updated my FAQ to include a few more official rulings, most notably the clarification about how start-of-turn and end-of-turn effects happen in card order but everything else goes in whatever order the players want.  There was also the bit about how you can't play a Bounty or an Ammo card if there isn't a legal card already in play to play it on, and maybe a few other small stuff too.

Any chance of doing a supplemental AA table that summarizes which songs are melodies, harmonies, rhythms?

Here's how I memorize them:

• Harmonies have the most powerful Perform effects - "you or anyone else may play a card", "you or anyone else may use a power", and "blow up any non-character card at the cost of an Instrument" (the latter is not necessarily always useful, but "powerful" certainly fits, given that it can one-shot things up to and including Gloomweaver's 25-HP relics).  Not coincidentally, they are the hardest to Perform - only two of the six Instruments (both of them stringed, if that makes it easier to remember) can activate one of these effects plus an Accompany…of these, only the Harp can Accompany the same card it Performs, which can be important on turn 2 or if you have poor luck acquiring Songs.

• Melodies have only Perform effects, not Accompanies.  Three Instruments can Perform a Melody, one of them being able to do two at once, and another being able to Accompany a Rhythm first (otherwise, Accompanies always happen second).  Keep in mind that songs are not Limited, so using Drake's Pipes to play two Rhapsodies of Vigor or two Scherzos of Frost and Flame can be highly impressive under the right circumstances (it's a rare day when AA ends up being the party's primary damage dealer, but it can happen).

• Rhythms can loosely be categorized as the weakest set of songs, with one exception - the single best Accompany under average circumstances belongs to Inventive Preparation.  With an ideal chain setup, you may be able to get several instances of this Accompany, letting your allies play a blitz of extra cards…however, outside of Cloud Cuckooland, Rhythms are generally less likely to have a powerful, instant effect than the other songs (Rhapsody of Vigor is also kind of weak, but it can definitely save your bacon in some games, and we've already mentioned Cedistic Dissonant's extreme-if-highly-situational potency).  Instead, they tend to eke out incremental advantages over time.  If you have Xu's Bell in your hand, you probably want to play a Rhythm, as it's the only Instrument which can Perform a Rhythm (you can always Vocalize them of course, but then that's your whole Power phase, unless you chain into it with one of the two best Harmonies).  Uniquely, the Bell also gives you the ability to Accompany any card which has an Accompany text…it's among no less than four three Instruments which offer access to Rhythm Accompanies, so handing out extra card draws, card plays, and bits of sonic damage is fairly easy to do once or even several times during your turn, if you have a Rhythm and any Instrument other than the Pipes or Harp (you can regard these all as percussion instruments, if you imagine that AA occasionally thumps the Lyra on the side like a drum, instead of or in addition to strumming the strings to Harmonize).

Now, what AA could do if he had a piano, we can only speculate…

There are only 3 instruments that activate Rhythm accompany, which is, in fact, less than 4.

How does one get a piano to a battlefield?

Maybe it's a very tiny piano ;).

If you play the Adept enough, you should hopefully come to learn his deck like everyone else's - it took me a while too. There are three different songs of each type, and two copies of each song.

The Harmonies are…

Inspiring Supertonic (One hero use a power now/Adept regains 2hp)

Alacritous Subdominant (One hero play a card now/Adept use a power now then destroy this card)

Cedistic Dissonant (Destroy an instrument then destroy any non-character card in play/Adept discard two then draw three)

The Melodies are…

Rhapsody of Vigour (Up to five targets get +1hp)

Sarabande of Destruction (Destroy an ongoing or environment card)

Scherzo of Frost and Flame (Deal one target one fire damage, then deal one target one cold damage…or the other way around, I forget)

The Rhythms are…

Counterpoint Bulwark (Up to two targets gain +1 soak/One player draw a card now)

Syncopated Onslaught (Up to two targets gain +1 damage dealt/Deal one target one sonic damage)

Inventive Preparation (Each player may look at their top card, then either replace or discard it/One player who isn't the Adept play a card now)

Phew, I'm glad I was able to remember them all :). And of course, bear in mind that as mentioned above, songs are not Limited. Also, their effects aren't powers (the instruments are), so you can use a song's effect twice in a turn if you want, for example using the Harp to activate Inspiring Supertonic to let you use the Lyra to activate Inspiring Supertonic again to let you use another instrument (my usual combo once I get those cards out). The only time having two copies of the csame song out is necessary is when using the Pipes, since you can only activate two different cards with them and not the same one twice - if you have two copies of Sarabande out, you can activate both and destroy two things as a result, but if you only had one you couldn't activate it twice because the Pipes specify two different Melody cards. If one of those cards happens to look exactly the same as the other one, that's fine :).

Accordion to the battle plan?

Screw Pianos, I want to see AA shred on a Keytar.

Maybe piano removals are his forte?

Right - they might be the key to victory!

Oh, don't start making a bunch of music puns; we might have to pitch this thread like we did the Train Puns one.

Any more and I'm blowing the whistle on you guys.

Nothing against pun threads... but this one is a pretty long-standing one that has the specific purpose of informing us of changes to Spiff's popular accessories. We should probably posts here to that topic. 

Jagarciao, you are of course totally correct. I guess a brief bit of punning is like a badge of honour these days, it's like seeing Busen Memo added to a geeklist. I will personally stop before we change the tempo any further.

edit: and apologies to Spiff for inadvertantly causing any offence

HUE HUE HUE HUE

Seriously though, this thread is too big of a deal to derail with puns.

Spiff,

This reiterates my thanks for all your resources for the game.  I may be the only one who uses your spiny HP counters, but I really like them.  For all of us first edition die-hards, what you've developed, archived, and expanded has been great.

Just deleted several puns...

Any chance of doing a supplemental AA table that summarizes which songs are melodies, harmonies, rhythms?

Probably not.  If you need something to help you keep track of that, you should be able to use the Card List, which has that info already.

I'm honored that people think this thread is too important to pun-up.  When I saw all the replies to my quite-unreplyworthy post, I panicked.  I thought people were posting that I'd screwed something up. :)

I'm so struggling to resist doing some kind of screw/hammer/nail-type puns right now...

I've added the Dark Watch heroes to the Randomizer, as well as the alt versions of Spite and Gloomweaver.  I suppose technically someone could print out the alt heroes and use them in a game, so I figured I'd add them to the tool.

I don't yet have art for any of the new stuff, but once I get it I'll post up oversized versions of the Dark Watch heroes to my site, using their original version's backsides.  That way we can play with them before the stuff on the backs has been made public.  We'll just have to wait to use the alt villains though, since they're not much use without their rules.

I've posted a new file to my site.  It's the oversized cards for the promos we got in Dec.: the Dark Watch crew, Skinwalker Gloomweaver, and Agent of Gloom Spite.  I'm keeping the in a separate .zip file for now to make them easy to get, but once Vengeance comes out I'll just roll them in with all the other new stuff.

One of the things that's got me excited about these new files is the new icons on the villain oversized cards.  I found a website which allows you to create a custom font just by downloading their template, putting whatever you want in the spaces on the template, and uploading it back to their site.  It's frickin' magic, and it's allowed me to now use the "H" icon as I would any other letter as long as I've set it to be that font.  Even better, I was able to add the "SV" and "EV" icons to that font, and in the process, spruce them up.  If you'll recall, we've had a discussion about how in a perfect world, those icons would not only be different colors but different shapes too.  Well now they are, and I think they look great.  Because Skinwalker Gloomweaver has a "start of each hero turn" effect, I even added "SH" icons to the mix.  Fun!

I plan on going back through all of my oversized villain cards (which is quite a pile) and swapping in the new icons.  I'll post here when that project is done and the new stuff is ready to download, although I don't expect too many people will want to re-print all of the villain cards just for the new icons.  Even I'm not planning on doing that (and I'm crazy).

Yay! I'm so glad I was too lazy to print out the oversized villain cards months ago! Thanks as always Spiff. :)

Yay for laziness!

He does?  Where?

I think he meant Spite.

Any chance you can share that font? That could be really useful…

Right, Spite's got that start-of-hero-turn effect.

I've attached the font (.zipped because it won't let me attach a .ttf file).  There are only a couple of letters which are active in the font:

• uppercase H = "H" icon
• uppercase S = "SV" icon
• uppercase E = "EV" icon
• lowercase s = "SH" icon
• lowercase e = "EH" icon
• 9 = background for rectangular end-of-turn icons
• 0 = background for circular start-of-turn icons

Most of that should be self-explanatory, but the backgrounds work like this in Photoshop:

For an end-of-villain-turn icon, you'll type "9", then you type "E".  You'll now have a black rectangle sitting next to the "EV" icon, which is not yet what you want.  You highlight the black rectangle and change its color (red, for example), then insert the cursor between the rectangle and the "EV" and change the kerning between the two so that the "EV" moves to the left, on top of the background (I used -800 kerning).  Now what you have is an "EV" with a red background which you can copy/paste to use wherever you want, and which will stay inline with the rest of your text so you don't have to reposition images every time you move things around.  Magic!

I've posted the updated villain card files, and in the process decided that the way I organize my files needed to be updated as well.  Since the beginnning, I've kept file types grouped together into .zip files (all the oversized villain cards in one .zip file, all the card boxes in another, etc.).  But that means that someone who buys just a single set has to download everything I've got even though they won't use the items for expansions they don't own.  That's not great.

Now, each expansion has its own .zip file, and in that zip file are all the file types.  So, when you download the Shattered Timelines file, you'll get all the boxes, oversized cards, trackers, etc. for Shattered Timelines content and not for other stuff you don't care about.  Since all the file types are included, you'll be downloading card boxes even if all you wanted was villain cards, but I can't see a way around that.

Promos and alt cards (which have grown surprisingly bountiful over the years) have their own .zip file to keep them separate from the expansions themselves.  So forget what I said a few posts back about the Dark Watch and villain promos being in their own .zip file for now. Since promos and alts have their own home now, I've just put the new stuff in there.

Last update in today's marathon session -- two things:

1) I've reformatted the FAQ so that the important stuff about timing of effects, when to reshuffle decks, damage, etc., which used to be at the end of the doc, is now at the beginning.  It was always kind of dumb that a reader could get halfway through the doc, and if they stopped reading, they would have never gotten to some of the most important info.  That has now been rectified.

2) I've removed the doc with the bios of all the characters from my site.  That thing was always just a duplicate of the info available on the SotM Multiverse page, and as I contemplated updating the doc for Vengeance I realized that it was too much of a pain.  Sorry if you loved that doc, but it's gone now.

Many thanks, Spiff! Not sure if I will use it, but it would definitely help reduce some of the space issues I'm having with my home-brewed villain, environment, and hero...

I just noticed a typo.  In the section where you have the card-by-card Enhanced Edition changes, for Cleansing Downpour, you have the new text as "Each hero targets regain", target shouldn't be plural.

Yeah, it should read "Each hero target regains", the s belongs after regain.

I was planning on printing that bio-booklet out too...

C'est la vie. Can you leave the outdated one on there even if you don't update it?

Thanks!

Sure, although you'd probably be just as good printing what they've got on the website.

Hey spiff, great job on everything as always. I know we talked about a box for all the oversized villain cards a while ago, any chance that might be in the works still? I use (and love) your promo box, so I thought I'd ask again. :)

I admit, I'm not in a hurry to add a new box template to the lineup, especially one that may not be useful to the majority of people (at least, that's my assumption).  It is just a single box though, so I won't say no, but I'm not saying yes.  I'm just about to start putting together the large pile of Vegeance accessories, so my workload will be full for a while, which probably reduces the chances of it happening soon, at least.

If I were to make a box for oversized villain cards, would I also need to make one for people who sleeve their cards?  If so, what size would that be?

Thank you sir!

I just updated my Card List file to include all the new Vengeance stuff.  I added a page that counts up the total cards in the game, and it would be great if someone could double-check my work to make sure I've got it broken down and totalled up correctly (1753 cards by my count, not including oversized villain cards).

It looks like you still have the old card list linked on your webpage.

Nope, I just clicked the link on my site and saw the new one.  Maybe your browser has cached the file?

I think computers just hate me. Its correct now, whatever I managed to do. :P

Spiff,

I don't see the Vengence environments in the options for the randomizer. 

Any chance that you could do a random for the V5, when they are the villain?

thanks for all you do!

You're right, I haven't added the Vengeance environments yet. I'd planned on doing it all when I got the art, but I should be able to use the stuff from Kickstarter and fake it until then. Adding a little sub-randomizer for when the V5 are the chosen villains shouldn't be hard. I'll let you know when it's ready. 

I think you're missing the following: The fifth Vengeance villain and the promo Dark Watch villains: Spite and Gloomweaver. Also, the promo villains are two cards each. Total should be 1779.

EE - 578 (41x10 + 27x4 + 15x4 = 410 + 108 + 60)

RC - 222 (41x2 + 27x4 + 2, Operative + 15x2 = 82 + 108 + 2 + 30)

IR - 228  (41x2 + 27x4 + 8, Ennead + 15x2 = 82 + 108 + 8 + 30)

ST - 220  (41x2 + 27x4 + 15x2 = 82 + 108 + 30)  

Mini-expansions - 166 (41x2 + 27x2 + 15x2 = 82 + 54 + 30)

Promo Heroes - 18 (YL-1, RCW-1, Ra-1, Fanatic-1, DV-1, EH-1, F6-6, DWatch-4, GIL/B-2)

Promo Villains - 8 (Omni, BB, Spite, Gloom, 2 each)

Vengeance - 339 (41x5 + 4, Sentinels +20x5 + 15x2 = 205 + 4 +100 + 30)

Feels a twinge odd, as this is the first time that the total number of available cards has been an odd number.

EDIT: Belay that, the original number of cards available was actually 579 -- EE plus Young Legacy.

No promo Spite and Gloomweaver though because they're oversized villain cards and I'm just counting normal cards. 

Promo Spite and Gloomy are normal sized cards. There aren't oversized version of them yet.

Awesome that would be great.

Are you counting the Vengeance Five?  They exist only as oversized cards (I'm told…I'll be ecstatic if that's changed), while all other oversized cards are optional accessories.

Updates:

1) I've updated the Card List to include Andy's correct card count (thanks, Andy).

2) I've updated the FAQ to include the most recent K.N.Y.F.E. rulings.  The FAQ now also includes a copy of the Vengeance rulebook along with the Enhanced Edition rules it's always had.

3) I've updated the Randomizer to include the two Vengeance environments.  Also, all Vengeance heroes, villains, and environments are now included in the randomizer by default (as always, you can uncheck the ones you don't want to include, run the randomizer, and bookmark the resulting URL if you don't want to include the new stuff in your random games).

It will also now randomly choose a line-up of Vengeful Five villains for you if the V5 is the villain which was chosen.  There is also a checkbox in the options area where you can indicate if you want it to always include Baron Blade each time you fight the V5 like the Vengeance rulebook suggests, or you can leave it unchecked if you'd rather roll the dice and maybe fight a group of V5 villains that doesn't include the Baron.  Of course, the Baron may still come up if you've told it to not always include the Baron, because he's still one of the five villains it has to choose from.

Please let me know if you see that I've screwed anything up in all of these updates.  Thanks.

They look good!

This is obviously lower priority than getting Vengeance into the system, but it'd be nice if there was an option to select/deselect entire sets in the Randomizer.

Yeah, that's always been low priority since one you make your selection you can bookmark the URL to save it so you don't have to make the selection each time, but it's been requested enough that I should probably just add it.  Suggestion noted.

This is just a note to say that I've received the final drop of Vengeance art and stayed up late last night trying to complete the new batch of accessories but couldn't get it all done.  But I'm close and am hoping to be able to post everything tonight, so stay tuned.

Sweet. I had to make generic white tuckboxes for the Vengeance stuff. I'm looking forward to some more colorful ones.

Awesome, can't wait to print the tuckboxes. I love them and they always impress people I introduce SotM to

Are the Quick Reference Sheets and Deck Search Sheets going to get updated with the new characters?

Thanks for the sneek peek, Spiff!  I'll probably get my cards next month, but these look cool.

"Sentinels Tactics" - where have I heard that before?  :)

Probably from someone who doesn't know that it's "Sentinel Tactics."

Everything will get updated.  The update should include:

• Randomizer (done, although I may go back and spruce up some of the pix)
• FAQ (done, though I'll continue adding stuff as we get new rulings)
• Card List (done)
• Vengeance accessories
• Deck Search Sheets (adding a page for Sentinels and Naturalist)
• Quick Reference Sheet
• Greatest Legacy and G.I. Bunker oversized cards

• boxes for no-sleeves and penny-sleeved cards for all new enviros, heroes, and each of the V5 villains
• oversized hero trackers, with a single tracker for the Sentinels which has four integrated hp spinners on it.
• oversized villain cards. Each of the V5 has a mini-villain-sized card like the members of the Ennead have.
• oversized mats for the two new environments
• card-sized hp trackers for each new character.  The Sentinels each get their own, as do each of the V5 villains and each of the other heroes.

Seriously?  You just HAD to correct that.  Thank goodness, the earth is back rotating on its axis.

Whew, I had a feeling something was wrong.  Good job imprimis5!

The Vengeance set of accessories has been posted to my site.  When I've got the remaining stuff I need to finish updated, I'll post a note here.

Yay!  Very nice.

However, you might want to check the advanced cards for the villians.  Fright Train is labeled as "Kismet".  

Doh, thanks for catching that.  I'll change it right now.

The "promos & alts" file has been updated to include Greatest Legacy and G.I. Bunker.

Yeah Spiff,

You can't go leaking secrets to everyone like that.

I mean, wow, what a wierd Typo!  Ha ha.  Silly Spiff.

Now that I'm a playtester, I'm terrified that I actually will leak something important accidentally, so if you ever see me doing that, for jeebus' sake, please let me know so I can correct it.

An eagle-eyed SotM fan notified me of another error I'd made – Fright Train's nemesis is not in fact Legacy, it's Bunker.  I've updated the files to fix that.   Since I received the art later than usual, I was rushing to get everything completed and posted, and obviously I was going a little too fast in some cases.   Sorry about the mistakes.

I've posted updates to the Quick Reference Sheet and Deck Search Sheets, so at this point, I think everything on my site is complete up through Vengeance.  If you find that that's not the case, please let me know.

I've also added a second version of Matriarch's oversized villain card to the Rook City accessory pack.  It matches her character card after the updates she got in 2013 (when RC and IR were reprinted and sold in a single box).  The older version of her card is still in there for people who need it.

The instructions for the oversized hero cards say that Rook City Wraith has her power modified.  Is that still the case, or have you not bothered to chage the instructions yet?

Yes and no.  I should remove that from the instructions since that same instructions file is in every expansion, and why would you care about RC Wraith if you'd only downloaded Shattered Timelines (for example).  Further, the version of RC Wraith that's in the Promos & Alts pack is the non-modified version anyway.  I do have a modified version of RC Wraith, but it's posted separately in a pack of my own customizations.

Thanks for catching that.  I'll remove it from the instructions.

Glad to be of service!

I crack myself up.

Came back to this post to grab this info and save it in a file. Went to where I would put such a file. Found one that I'd created on Dec 22nd that already had this info. So, no, I didn't actually need to recalculate all of that.

Not sure which part I like best: That you had already calculated it or that you had saved it in a file…

I updated Setback's oversized hero tracker to include a second smaller integrated spinner in the corner to track his Unlucky pool (see attached pic).  I updated his Dark Watch version to match.  They replace the versions I posted originally, so you'll find Setback in the Vengeance pack and DW Setback in the Promos & Alts pack.

The Randomizer now has links you can click to check/uncheck all of the items in a set.  I debated whether or not to have a single link toggle all of the heroes/villains/enviros in an entire expansion at once, but decided against it because in general, it's not a good idea to have a button manipulate things off screen (when the user scrolls down and sees that things have changed, they may or may not associate the change with the action they took farther up the page).  So for now, if you want to toggle everything for a set, you'll do it independently for the heroes, villains, and enviros.  If that turns out to be a gigantic pain, let me know and I'll revisit my decision.

I don't know if this is the right area, but because Spiff hosts these files, I thought this might be an okay place to post it.

What would be really awesome is if Jagarciao's Accessories - Vertical Card Dividers were updated with Bunker and Vengeance.  I just finished sleeving my cards, and my art case that I've been using doesn't work with the dividers that come from GtG are taking up too much space.

I tried photoshopping my own dividers for the new Bunker promo, but I'd rather have someone talented make it right the first time.

I'll probably be updating all my files that Spiff has been gracious enough to host for me this coming weekend (this has been a crazy hectic week). The upgrade will include all the new dividers and nemeses symbols. 

I'll make sure to post here once it's done. 

We need to have a forum contest where we get points for finding all the references that Spiff's guide is still missing.

That's a great idea.

Start a thread!!!

I updated the Search Sheets so that each of the individual sections is now twice the size of a card, which means you can fold them in half and include them in the box of whatever deck they go with if you want.  They were almost the right size for that before, but not quite.

Thanks to Rabit for the great suggestion.

At least in your preview version the other day, AA's search sheet was still labeled for Chrono-Ranger. Haven't checked this one.

You're right - and the new one is the same. I totally missed that when I looked at it… Great catch!

Good catch, thanks.  Fixed.

After using your Setback 'unlucky pool counters' i thought - how cool would it be to have a counter like that for Tachyon's burst cards? 

I thought about maybe a counter for keeping track of damage on Absolute Zero with all the math needed, but that seem's overly much, and no other heroes really need it.

Another request? I found that its so much easier to just cut them out as one big panel, front and back, and fold the two sides over. It gives great stability to them, especially for Setback's counter, and since I glue them (i hate tape :P) it makes it much much more secure. All the heroes are very possible for this except The Sentinels.  - They are just aligned wrong due to their unique nature. I wonder if it would be possible to flip the right panel over so the two bottom edges are lined up that would be awesome!

But those are just for my personal requests. No need to do anything just for me :)

As always, great work. thanks a bunch. 

Great ideas.  I modified the Sentinels sheet so that it can be folded in half along the bottom edge like you suggest.  The Vengeance pack on my site now has the updated file.

I love the Setback tracker and am all for finding new reasons to reuse that spinner-in-the-corner design.  I'll find some time tomorrow to put together an alternate set of Tachyon trackers (both for her base version and Team Leader) and will put them in the set of custom character cards I have on the site.  I'll let you know when those are ready.

I never play Absolute Zero so I have no idea how to make a tracker to make that guy easier to play.  Sorry.

I suspect the idea would be to add tracker(s) to keep track of how much fire damage he has taken since the end of his previous turn (Coolant Burst) or how much cold damage he has dealt this turn (Thermal Shockwave).

Tachyon's oversized hp trackers w/built-in Burst trackers are up on my site.  I decided not to include them with the other custom characters there, so they've got their own link on my Print & Play page.

I was wondering if it would be possible to get the files that you used for making the tuckboxes.  I really want to alter them so that my Dragon Sleeves fit and I want to change the picture on the back of the boxes to have a character bio or summary and also add the complexity level on top, sides, and front of the boxes for heroes and villains.

I'd be happy to give you the Photoshop template I use.  I'm not sure I can give out the art without permission though.  I know there are tuckbox generators online too, which may get you what you're looking for.

I noticed your oversized Gloomweaver Skinwalker has a typo. On the front side he lacks the type box, which should say "villian, zombie"

That was pointed out to me previously by a sharp-eyed fan and I've fixed it.  The version that's on my site now has the correct info.


Hey - this is just a quick note of thanks to Spiff, using my SotM briefcase as the image. You can see every deck has been boxed, and there are all 3 generations of little dial counters in plastic bags.

Appreciate all the work, Spiff. Thanks.

That's awesome.  You really use all three generations of the little hp trackers?  I thought for sure no one was using anything but the latest version (if anyone was using them at all besides me), so I took the others down from my site.

I have all 3 generations in the ziplock (tm) bag of counters. For the most part, the first generation stay there. I haven't made any new first and second generation counters, but I actually sorta prefer the fussy second gens. I'm pretty sure I have the PDFs on my laptop so I can build more if I need to, but I find it unlikely since I have a baggie of counters.

I understand why the third gens were designed, but with the thin card stock I used the extra material in the seconds have held up well.

I LOVE these accessories. They are awesome, Spiff. The best game ever, now less fiddly. I especially love the heros that come with spinners, the tiny HP spinners, and the re-worded villians which are nice and easy to read. 

Only downside is that it takes a lot of time and money to produce, and I'm not particularly good at arts and crafts. Is there any chance your accessories might be professionally produced by >G someday? I would buy instantly...

I have not yet been approached with a profit-sharing deal wherein I make millions of dollars from SotM accessory sales, so I can't say for sure. But my guess is probably not. :)

A briefcase? Wow what a good idea…

For the record, the tuckboxes on BGG that say they fit Dragon Shield sleeved cards......they don't, not even close.  Glad I only printed one of each type of box as a test.  So my search continues for tuckboxes for Dragon Shielded cards.  Preferably with the hero complexity printed on the sides and top as well as a bio or just overview of the hero on the back for new players.

Thanks for the field report.  I'll take the link I have to them down from my site.

That would be awesome, the front could have the character card art, the back a short bio, like the "file" on the back of the old GI Joe figures that you cut out.

Something like:

Codename:  Absolute Zero         (3)  {just over in the corner signifying complexity}

Aliases: Ryan Frost

Powers:  Fire and Ice.

Power Source: Science

Group Affiliation: The Freedom Five

Occupation: Adventurer, Former Janitor

Just that much would give players a good start choosing a hero to play.

Or even the....oh I can't remember what they are called, but on BGG there is a file with the how far a certain carhacter leans to certain traits on a kite sort of grid....if that makes sense.  I just wish I was better at PS so I could just make them myself.

We've talked about this.  No two people can agree about what what spot on a grid each character should occupy, so there's no consensus for what I would put on the back of a card box.

I think you should put the nemesis symbols for each hero/villian on thier box.

Why?

That's why I'd do an abbreviated version of the official Bio, with maybe a Power category added, that would be very basic for characters where the other info gives no clue as to what powers they have.

I think I agree with Spiff here:  Why?  It seems like a lot of added work for very marginal benefit.

To me, the boxes feel naked without them.

I did add the symbols on my own though so if you desire against it I understand.  it's not hard though I might have gotten the scaling wrong.

I'm using empty Dragonshield sleeve boxes as the "tuck boxes" for the hero decks.  Just putting a label on the top and side to identify which hero deck is in the box.  The villains and environments are in the RC/IR expansion box since that box does fit Dragon Shield sleeved cards.

Let's please make sure that we keep the topic of discussion in this topic match the topic title.  If people have other solutions for tuckboxes, that's good info, but it should be in its own topic, not here.  Thanks.

Small update to the FAQ:

1) added note that Forced Deployment puts minions into play in the top-to-bottom order they are in the trash.

2) added note that you can't rearrange the order of a trash pile

3) added note about what happens if you use SST's "Experiment" on a deck that only has one card in it.

4) fixed an error where I'd said Final Wasteland was from Shattered Timelines rather than being a Promo deck.

Pretty sure The Final Wasteland is a mini-expansions, not a promo deck. As far as I am aware, there are no promo decks.

Sure, but "mini-expansion" is 14 characters and "promo" is only 5.  Fits better.

Do the hero decks fit in the individual boxes when sleeved, out of curiosity?

There's a set of boxes for unsleeved cards and a set for penny sleeved cards.  I don't have any sets for others sizes of sleeves.

Spiff, have you gotten the proofs for the WCos deck boxes?  I love those things and it's soon going to be time to fire up the color printer.  Thanks in advance!

I caint wait for all the Trackers either, Spiff is gonna be busy for awhile

Spiff is an old hand at this game by now and has been working on the WotC accessories a little bit at a time for the past couple of months.  Everything is ready to go at this point except the card list.  When I get my cards in the mail, I'll double-check that the info I've got on them matches the final production version, toss together a card list, and post everything all at once.  If my cards come on Wed. like FedEx is saying, I should be able to post that night or the following night at the latest.

You're the best

I saw a file link on BoardGameGeek for boxes for the base set and at least one of the expansions that were sized for premium sleeves. 

I'm using Dragonshields and found that those box dimensions were just a mite too tight for my sleeved cards.  So I'm still using re-purposed empty Dragonshield sleeve boxes for heroes and keeping most of the villains and environments in the RC/IR box - which fits premium sleeved cards well.

feel free to check the card list against the spoiler sheet.

The randomizers empty spots (e.g. WCos Villain #2) can probably be filled now.

done.

Not sure if this is just me or everyone, but every time I randomize, all of the WotC items get unchecked and I have to go back and check them again.

Not just you - I forgot to make WotC default to being checked.  Fixed now.

Thanks Spiff! Now I can continue to avoid having to make decisions.

Files have been updated. We've got the usual stuff:

• card boxes, both for penny-sleeved and unsleeved cards
• environment mats
• oversized hero and villains
• card box-sized hp trackers

for all WotC heroes, villains, and environments, plus Guise, Wager Master, and Omnitron-IV, as well as oversized hero cards for the new alts - the Prime Wardens, KNYFE: Rogue Agent, and Argent Adept: Kvothe Sixstrings.

I'm excited to say that Sky-Scraper comes with three different sizes of oversized hero cards - one is about the size of a regular card, one is the normal 4"x6" oversized size, and one is a gigantic 8"x6"-ish.  I love the giant one especially.

I've also updated the quick-reference sheet (the sheet with all the heroes/villains/enviros to help you pick who you want to play) to include the new stuff, and have updated the Search Sheet (the pages you can look through when deciding what card to search for, like if you had an Impromptu Invention) to include Sky-Scraper's equipment cards.

I have not yet updated the Card List as it's getting late, but I'll do that tomorrow.

If you find any problems or errors with the files, please let me know so I can fix them.

Love the new quick reference Sheets

But none of the extra stuff is showing up in promos and alts or Wrath zip

No Guise, or any new Promos 

Doh, you're right.  I made a last-minute change and it didn't make it into the .zip.  Fixing that now.  Thanks for catching that.

Looks great Spiff. I hope you don't mind me pointing stuff out, I just want to make you site the Best.

The only other thing I see (I don't use them but someone may) But you missing Mini HP Trackers for all the new hero promos/guise

If you're talking about the HP tokens to go on the HP tracker mat, I'll get them to Spiff today. Sorry, I've had the new ones for months and had forgotten all about them.

No Spiffs actuall Hero mini trackers or Small HP trackers 

Smallt hp tracker

No Guise or new promos

You can see in your screenshot that Guise is there (I stuck him with Unity and Scholar), but you're right that I didn't make one for each of the new promos.  I forgot that I needed to.  I'll try to get that done in the next couple of days.

And no, I don't mind you pointing out stuff I've missed or screwed up at all.  Somebody's got to check my work. Sorry it had to be you. :)

Hey, on the deck boxes, I printed the no sleeve boxes but they are bigger and seem like they are the ones made for the penny sleeves.  The measurements look the same on the sheet but I was wondering if they somehow got transposed

I just downloaded the new .zip file from my site (so I was sure I was looking at the same thing you would be looking at) and I compared the non-sleeved version against the sleeved version of the Captain Cosmic boxes.  The sleeved versions are definitely larger, so it's not that they've been transposed.  Then I downloaded the Rook City boxes (which haven't changed in years) and compared Expatriette's box with Captain Cosmic - they're the same size.  Lastly, I've printed each of the new boxes for my own use, and looking at them sitting there in my storage box next to all the other boxes, they look to be the same size as all the other non-sleeve boxes.

So, I've tested all the ways I know how, and it looks like they're right to me.  If you've got something specific I should be looking at that I didn't mention, please let me know so I can check things out further.

Hmm, I was just comparing my Enclave of the Endlings box vs my Silver Gulch box. The Endling box is definately taller by 1-1.5 cm or so, though the width seems comparable.  Not a ig deal, it was just something that I noticed.  As always, thank you so much for putting these together

I just compared the Endlings and Silver Gulch box no-sleeve templates, and they're identical sizes.  So, I don't have an explanation for why yours are off by a whole centimeter or more, but as near as I can tell, the templates are the correct size.  Sorry.

Hmm, must have been something with my printer settings.  Thanks for checking

The Card List has been updated with all the new stuff now, too.

I posted a small update to the FAQ.  I included the ruling about Guise's "Lemme See That..." (while Guise has access to the equipment card, the original owner is locked out), clarification about what switching Sky-Scraper's character cards means (pretty much exactly what you'd expect it does), and maybe a couple of smaller tweaks too (can't remember).

I added card-sized hp trackers for all the new promo heroes to the promos & alts file.

I've been contacted by multiple people over the past few weeks asking if I'd make oversized accessories for the great fan-made decks of The Cauldron, which was created by Matthew Bishop (tosx on BGG).  I had actually made a couple of Cauldron oversized cards back in the day but never finished the set, but I'm thinking I may try to do that now. I've posted a collection of what I've got to my site and will continue adding to it over time.  If you're interested, go take a look.

hey spiff,

I was messing around with your stuff today and saw the enviornment maps. I actually like the idea especially since my group plays on a circular table and its difficult to keep things organized. Do you think this could eventually spread to havning single tyles for the villians? where you can have a spot for the villian deck and discard pile and possibly the character cards? maybe even the hero cards as well. I know this wouldnt work for the all the ongoing or equipment but could help organize the table a bit.

I know greater than games has the play map for this but again that only works on certain size table or more and typically for me anyways we either play at something circular or I play by myself on a smaller table.

anyone who has printed off Spiff's card boxes for Sentinels know if they fit inside the enhanced edition box? I dont want to print them out and then not fit.

I don't think I'd make tiles for the villains with spaces for decks and discards.  The oversized villain cards are already pretty big and it's easy enough to put the deck and discard piles next to the oversized villain card.  So, it's not a terrible idea, but I don't think I'll do it.

I don't know if the boxes fit in the enhanced box, but I'd be surprised if they did.  Maybe someone else has tried it.

If I remember, I'll check when I get home tonight. My gut says that they won't fit, though.

Quick note while printing the tuck boxes for sotm. You must print them in landscape mode or you will get a box for mini decks....

may any want to add to printing instructions

As a quick sidenote I just printed off absolute zero card box and yes it does fit the enhanced edition box. You will need to make sure there is some room to get your fingers in there to pull them out in each row but it works well and makes readying what's what from above easy

When things were too cramped, I just put a ribbon around the decks.

May end up doing that idk. Shall see where it all goes

Do you have your printer to "scale to fit"?  That may explain why it tries to shrink the image when you try to print in portrait mode.

honestly no clue. Using a windows computer to print and I am used to using Linux. Dumb windows 8

So, Spiff accessories are the best. The expanded villain cards, environment backgrounds, all the extra goodies; I love it all.

Except for the HP trackers.

I could never make the double-dial trackers work properly, and the numbers were definitely on the small side for easy viewing across a table. So I designed my own. They're about as long as a card, so they can easily be tucked into the box. There's just one generic design for heroes and villains, so you should be able to get by with six or seven dials (the Ennead and the Sentinels being the exceptions, of course). I fastened mine with 3/16" paper eyelets.

Do you guys use HP dials? Any other sweet accessorizing tips?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/x03cht73zo9k2g2/HP%20Dials.pdf?dl=0

Those look great. :)

Hey spiff. Have you been updating the faq with respect to the fireside chats? Love how you do it and try to keep a copy on my iPad but it says on your site it hasn't been updated in a while.

No, I haven't.  The only reason I was doing it was because the information didn't exist anywhere else and I wanted it for my own gameplay, but now the video game guys are obviously keeping a list of all those FAQ-ey tidbits so it should be easy for GtG to produce an actual FAQ of their own now.  They're obviously too busy to do it, which is a shame, but it's up to them to handle FAQs for their own game, I think.

ok sounds good.

My wife had a great idea for an accessory to go with the new Naturalist promo: tokens for the crocodile, rhinoceros, and gazelle forms so that it’s easy to remember which form you picked on your last turn.

Going with that idea, maybe True Purpose Chrono-Ranger also could use a little cross-hairs token to stick on his new bounty target.

To your credit, nothing was added to your FAQ without official word. It's just that the video game has granted us a point of reference for how things work, and thus we now have a hard and fast method of checking several card interactions. It's a wonderful added bonus of digital convenience.

I 100% agree.  And since the video game had to nail down some the stickier interactions in the game, they've now got that stuff documented.  If they had the time, presumably they could post a FAQ tomorrow which would be worlds better than what I could do.

i know but I like your format right now. Easy to follow. Agree though gtg needs a full easy to understand faq

I received my copy of VotM today and have updated the card list on my site to include the new stuff plus the promos.  I broke the file into two - there's one for the card list itself and a second for the old info on what changed in the EE and RC updates.  The two bits used to be combined but I figured that the update info is becoming less relevant to people who buy the game nowadays so there's no point to bloating the card list with it, though it's still available if anyone wants it.

Still no art from GtG though, so still no VotM accessories.  I'm missing the card boxes big time. :(

I spent some time cleaning up the Randomizer so it's now back up to fighting strength, more or less.  I've included placeholder art taken from the web for all the new stuff, have added in all the new decks and promos, and have made it more multi-villain friendly than before.  In the Options section, it's just a one-button click to toggle between randomizing normal games and multi-villain ones.  You'll only be shown villains of the type you choose to make the choices easier, and if you choose multi-villain, it'll show full-size pix of all the villains you'll be facing down rather than the weird way I was doing it before when Vengeance was the only multi-villain game in town.

http://www.spiffworld.com/sotm/randomizer.cfm

Looks really good, Spiff.

Cool! I've been waiting for this since getting my copy last week.

It looks like you have Chokepoint on the wrong side, though; she's a solo villain, not a Vengeance-style one.

Selfishly, I certainly hope they see this and send you the art, as my set looks incomplete with the new decks now having boxes.  I introduced some new folks to SotM this weekend and one of them was more fascinated by the tuckboxes than the game, I think

Yeah, I thought I'd fixed Chokepoint but hadn't, so now it should be actually fixed.  And I've added Alt: Infinitor and Alt: Kismet to the Randomizer as well now (forgot to add them because I didn't order the oversized villain cards).  They've got placeholder art though of course.

I have managed to put together three things using just art I can get off the web - environment mats for Madame M, Magmaria, and Court of Blood, and the card boxes for those three environments.  For anything else, I'm going to need the real thing.

spiffworld.com has been acting wonky this weekend.  I called them and they're fixing the problem now, so hopefully the site should be OK soon.

I just went to check out the updated randomizer and noticed that Wager Master seems to be missing.

Ugh.  It's an easy fix but I can't do it here at work, so I'll have to do it tonight.  Thanks for finding that.

EDIT: Wager Master's back on the menu.

i crashed the randomizer last time when i wanted to randomize a vengiance game (where swaping out 2 villains with villains of the multivers stuf and even did the envirionemt). i usaly use this randomizer with the G+ games. some complain that coldron heros are not in it. wel most of us dont own that and you can stil swap 1 hero and trow a die to determan couldron hero.

Can you replicate what you did to crash the Randomizer?  If so, please PM me the info so I can see if it's something I should fix.

It's not that hard to crash - if you tell it you want a multi-villain game but don't check enough villains to include in the selection, it'll complain.  I've got some basic error checking in there but it's not bullet-proof because I haven't invested the time to make it bullet-proof.

I added a set of 3D tokens to the Hunted Naturalist's form tracker file for people who prefer to use tokens rather than a spinner.  You lay them out "this turn" up and then after your turn you remove any "last turns" and flip all "this turns" to show "last turn".


Awesome!

For anyone interested in news like this: I've gone back and reworked all of my oversized villain cards to remove the bit of flavor text they had and replaced it with the villain's Advanced rules. This means that if you play with Advanced rules, you don't need to lay out an additional card showing those rules - it's all on one oversized card now.

I initially included that flavor text back when the game first came out because I felt more should be done to share the story of what was happening when you fought a villain, but since then the story embedded in the game has grown immensely and it hasn't felt necessary (if it ever was) for a long time.

Mini-bosses with their own advanced rules, like the Vengeful Five and the Operative, still need an Advanced card because there's not enough room on the smaller mini-boss cards for everything.

Who do we write to to get them to send you the art files for Villains of the Multiverse?

I'm so used to the big cards that it feels weird to play without them.

I'm hesitant to be the cause of a spam campaign against GtG, but it probably couldn't hurt to have a few people email contact@sentinelsofthemultiverse.com to let them know it's more than just me who's waiting.  Thanks for the support.

I agree, it does feel weird to play without the usual set of accessories.

In other news, I added America's Cleverest Legacy to the Randomizer as an option.  Christopher confirmed the promo is digital-only, but if you'd like to add it to your rotation, you can check its box.

Does it have incap powers somewhere?

It does not and apparently will not. Easy enough to use the base Legacy's incap abilities though. That's what I plan on doing once (if) I get the art for Cleverest Legacy and can make an oversized hero hp tracker out of it. 

Any word if GTG will make a printable version of Cleverist Legacy?

Yes, and the word is they're not planning on doing it, unfortunately. That question was asked and answered in the post-ARG stream. 

wait this is actually a thing?

when does this come out

If you are asking from GtG never according to the Q&A during the art livestream.  

this is just a card someone made up then?

This was hidden during the official puzzle hunt, so it's not just "someone". I guess this version of Legacy is canon, but won't get a printed version.

Have you not been following the ARG/Whose Tim Cosing thread?

Wager Master made an apperiance in the game and his "regular" clue led to the next part of the game but there was a "supplemental" clue that led to that JPG, it looks like it was a joke of Wager Master's.

https://greaterthangames.com/139724865

missed this part and then thought it was a joke people were telling 

That thread does have TWO THOUSAND posts.

I don't get your argument Andy 

In any case (back to the subject of the thread), it's an official promo that will never be printed or have an incap side, but that doesn't mean people can't use it with Legacy's regular incap side if they want, which is why I added it to the Randomizer.

Thanks Spiff!

Bored on a Saturday and still without any VotM art to play with, I've added a new file to my site which has eight character hp trackers in various colors and with various combinations of characters on them.  They're more generic than the hp trackers I make for each individual character in the game, and this dial design is easier to manipulate than the overlapping dials in the other kind of tracker.  The trackers are card-sized, so are easy to store with your decks.

If you've been wishing for something like this, today's your lucky day.  It's available on my site now (www.spiffworld.com/sotm). 


Awesome stuff!

A blue-bearded angel has answered my prayers and unblocked the flow of delicious VotM art from GtG, which means I'm back in business!  Woo!  In a cruel trick of fate, this happened on the day I had planned on mainlining Daredevil season 2 episodes for 48 hours straight, but we'll see if I can rearrange that schedule to get at least a little bit of SotM accessory work done over the weekend.

Thanks, blue-bearded angel!  You made me believe in miracles again.

Spiff, if you want to, I would love to see my Finding Freedom mini-series PDF at your site. It would be nice to have it in the place people know to look for awesome SotM fan-made swag.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wgli2a63cal50d6/FindingFreedomv2.pdf?dl=0

I presume you're doing this by watching 48 hours of shows in 12 hours rather than in 24?

I was accounting for time to eat and sleep.  I know, I'm not a true hardcore.  It's my secret shame.

I got girlfriend shackled on this one preventing binge watching as she wants to watch it with me and the anger I'll get if I don't is not worth it. My girlfriend being awesome makes it fair trade.

Plus, it is kind of more enjoyable to space episodes apart enough to think about them occasionally!

Thinking is over-rated, just cram it all in at once and then read other's opinions so they can tell you what to think.

I agree.

Turns out, I got almost no Daredevil watching done this weekend (no spoilers!), but I did get quite a bit of accessory work completed.  I've updated the file on my site which contains promos and alts to include oversized cards for all the promo stuff that came out around VotM (listed below).  It doesn't say anywhere on my site that the file's been updated because I haven't actually finished everything that's supposed to be in there yet, but I thought that since I was at a good stopping point, I'd post what I had in case anyone wanted to get started with the printing.

The file: www.spiffworld.com/sotm/files/00_promos_and_alts.zip

It now contains oversized cards for:

• Chrono-Ranger: Best of Times
• Scholar of the Infinite
• Hunted Naturalist
• Adamant Sentinels
• Termi-nation Unity
• Termi-nation Bunker
• Termi-nation Abs Zero
• Santa Guise
• Cleverest Legacy
• Tormented Ally Infinitor
• Trickster Kismet
• Chokepoint

Don't go looking for anything besides just the oversized cards at this point (no card boxes, etc.)  This stuff takes time, man! I'll get to those soon.

The "promos and alts" file on my site now includes everything having to do with the promos and alts, like boxes for Chokepoint, an environment mat for Celestial Tribunal, etc. plus all the alt hero stuff I mentioned above.  That file is now complete.

Next up is to actually do the villains from Villains.

I've finished the oversized villain cards for VotM and have posted them to my site.  Still no card boxes, small hp trackers, etc. but those should come more quickly now that I've finished the character cards.

MigrantP has shown me how to make it so you can launch a SotM: The Video Game game directly from my Randomizer on an iOS device using the Randomizer's results, so I added that capability to the Randomizer.  Get a great Randomizer match-up that you just gotta play in the video game now?  Click the link and get your game on, man!

All you have to do to enable this in the Randomizer is click the "include only decks from SotM: The Video Game" box in the options area.  That will make sure the Randomizer only chooses from decks which are actually in the video game now, and will display a link below the results to open the app and start a game using the Randomizer's results.

I've (finally) added deck boxes to the VotM collection on my site, both unsleeved and penny-sleeved.

Now that there are so many multi-villain villains, some with the same name as their non-multi-villain selves, I decided there should be a way to distinguish which are for the multi-villain format and which aren't just by looking at the boxes.  To that end, I put a white box around the "V" and the word "Villain" on the multi-villain boxes, making them easy to tell apart.  I likewise went back and added the same marking to the Vengeance villains so all multi-villain deck boxes now have the same identifier.  If you're so inclined, you can go back and reprint the V5 decks, but of course you don't have to.

The full set of VotM accessories isn't complete yet, unfortunately.  I still need to make the small hp trackers and the Advanced cards for the VotM villains.

VotM accessories are now complete on my site.

Next up is to start trying to pry all the art for the updated hero cards, including the new promo card art, from GtG.  I figure if I start now, maybe I can get it before I get grandkids who want to play SotM. ;)

I love these. I've done a fair amount of papercraft and am kind of looking foraward to making these, But I have a question.

With My Oblivaeon coming, and that big amazing box of amazing awesome amazingness, do I need these for organization anymore? Life trackers sure. But the boxes?

I stopped using the boxes a while ago because, while convenient (and pretty), they took up too much space.  I've been using a standard four-row white baseball card box with vertical dividers to keep everything separated.  I'm not sure what I'll do when the Big Box becomes available, but it probably won't involve my custom card boxes.

Just so long as you decide to may boxes for Prime War whenever it comes out.  I've got my Tactics looking rather spiffy, and it would be a shame if Prime War didn't as war.

We'll see about Prime War.  I'm not 100% sure I'll get the game, but chances are good.  The biggest bummer is that all of that sweet 3D terrain I made for Tactics will probably be going the way of the dinosaurs. :(

It did get a LOT of good use, though! 

Hey Spiff, any idea on when you will add Champion Studios, Mordengrad and Maerynian Refuge to the randomizer?

They're there already.  All the new heroes, variants, and environments are in the randomizer already.  There's nothing for OblivAeon itself because I haven't been able to get that art from GtG.

EDIT:  ohhh, I see.  I added the new stuff but failed to update the selection list so you can't actually select them.  I'll do that tonight after work.  Sorry.

If anyone uses it, they'll appear in my randomizer as soon as they're in the statistics data set.  For the physical game, that'll be the next morning after someone reports a game with them and Lynkfox kicks the Google form to update the datapase.  For the digital game, it'll be on about the 2nd or 3rd of the month after the content appears.

It's ok, I figured that might be the case, 

either way I'd like to thank you for your work in maintaining the randomiser throughout the entirity of Sentinels of the Multiverse, it's a great resource and I'm sure many others appreciate it as well.

EDIT: For those who want it in the meantime I edited the link to to randomise using everything including the missing 3 environments for a solo villain game game, click here for it.

This will stop working if you change the options for what's there however, but you can add &enviros25&enviros26&enviros27 to the end of the link to re add them.

And because I know people will ask, 25 is Maeyrian Refuge, 26 is Mordengrad and 27 is Fort Adamant.

Lookit you, reverse engineering my tech.  Nicely done.

I've made the updates so everything should be working as expected, no hacks needed.  If that's not the case, please let me know.

But Hacking is fun.

I learned that a whole mess of us are computer people, so you best be careful.

I've posted all the new stuff for OblivAeon to my site, including a new file with printable hero standups to move between battle zones instead of the flat hero markers that came with the expansion.  Unfortunately, GtG has been too busy to get me the art for OblivAeon or the Scions, so those use crappy playtest art (the heroes look great, it's just the Scions that look bad).  If/When I get the real art, I'll update the file.

SotM is now officially complete and I guess my SotM accessories are now too.  Enjoy!

That's a shame, as I abosutley love your oversized hero and small villain hp trackers and was hoping to get oversized hero HP trackers for Void Guard, Stuntman, Benchmark and the new variants that came with the kickstarter. I can live without the variants, but I'd love the get trackers for the new decks.

I also couldn't find the sheet you referred to with the hero standups. Can I just check I went to the right place, Spiff's SotM Resources | Print & Play Accessories

The oversized hero hp trackers are there for VG, Stuntman, Benchmark and every variant that exists to date in the "Promos and alts" set (check again because I originally posted the file using the wrong filename so the link didn't go to the newest upload, but that's been fixed).

The Oblivaeon hero standups are there on the printables page, right below the Quick Reference Sheet.

Also, I guess I lied about not having anything else to post because I've been spending the weekend making an updated set of vertical card dividers since that's how I store my cards.  When it's done, I'll post that too.

Thanks, I guess I must have just caught the old link on the trackers cause I redownloaded the promo set to check exactly that and it didn't come up with benchmark etc.

You’re an absolute star! 

Oh, vertical dividers could be super-helpful down the road. I have everything in the original boxes right now (all but 5 heroes in one box, all solo villains, environments, common tokens, and the other five heroes in the other box, and OblivAeon, the team villains, and the oversized cards in a third box), but that won’t work when Earth-Prime comes out. I couldn’t find a good horizontal storage solution, but there are a lot more vertical ones.

I use a four-column standard white trading card box and the entire Multiverse fits in there perfectly — heroes in two columns, villains in one, environments and multi-villain decks in the fourth. No room for SoEP though, unfortunately. 

That’s all unsleeved, of course. Only a crazy person would sleeve a 3200 card game. ;)

I am currently in the middle of RE-sleeving all the cards in anticipation of the Collectors Case arrival.  

I posted the vertical card dividers file to my site.  I'm still waiting for the Oblivaeon art so it doesn't include dividers for those decks, but it's got everything else.  I'll update the file when/if I get the OB art.

Yeah, I don’t sleeve mine either… I laminate them.

I was talking to Adam at Gen Con and he claimed it would be cheaper to just buy a second copy of everything rather than buy sleeves for everything.

Yeah, this is why I don’t sleeve. (I sleeved the foil cards, but those are special! )

I also sleeve character cards because they're foil and nice, but also makes it easy to tell character cards apart from the deck so people don't accidentally shuffle a variant in with their cards (I keep hero character cards/variants with their decks, as opposed to a separate tab/box)

Wait.

This comment makes me feel like I am buying SotM wrong - I can sleeve the entire 3200 cards for around $30, while a quick browse through the GtG online store seems to indicate it would cost me north of $300 to “buy a second copy of everything” - and that’s assuming I can actually even get everything (I’ve been waiting the better part of a year for my Complete Hero Variant Collection, with no end yet in sight…)

Are you guys paying ridiculous amounts for sleeves (I can get them for less than a penny per sleeve if I purchase wisely), or am I missing some super-secret discount for buying the entire SotM?

I use higher quality sleeves. I've probably spent about $130 to sleeve my cards.

Plus the time/effort required to do said sleeving...

Sleeving doesn’t take that long.   I’d say I spent maybe two to three hours between sleeving all the cards.   It was all done at the same time as I’ve sleeved things as I’ve gotten them. 

Spiff, would you be interested in hosting deck boxes for the Cauldron decks on your site? I was inspired by your beautiful deck boxes, so using them as a template I'm working on the Caudron decks - so far, only the heroes are finished.

Regardless of where they end up being hosted, I would certainly be very interested in seeing those, as my group is preparing to add some Cauldron to our mix.

Thanks, but I've never really gotten into the Cauldron stuff and I'd rather keep my site focused more on the stuff I make.  I hope you find a good place to make the boxes available though, because I'm sure people would be interested.

GtG has come through with the remainder of the Oblivaeon art (thanks, guys!) so I was able to finish off my set of accessories.  I have just updated the files on my site to include:

• Card boxes (for both no-sleeve and penny sleeve) for the three Oblivaeon decks
• Vertical dividers for the Oblivaeon decks, for people who store their cards that way like I do
• Full color stand-ups for the Scions plus three different Oblivaeon stand-ups, one for each of his forms.

If anyone finds any problems with the files, please contact me directly at spiffworld@gmail.com and I'll fix them straight away.  I don't check these forums as much as I used to, so posting something here may not catch my eye for quite a while.  Thanks!

Spiff's stuff got mentioned in this article about improving your board games:
