thanks!!!

Nice job you two

The only thing I'd change is the fifth health level. I know the original version of the Medusa use it too but I think it "breaks" the mold.

Alternatively I'll give Hellboy a way to recover from hits ("Bruised not defeated - Anytime during the game, spend a Victory Point and recover from two Wounds. - This power can only be used once per game.") or a way to shrug off some damage ("Demonic stamina - The first time Hellboy is wounded reduce the damage by 1 Wound - This power can only be used once per game.").

Nice job on Hellboy.

I do like Plageman's suggestion about "Alternatively I'll give Hellboy a way to recover from hits", but would suggest a "Not Dead Yet" Token to replace the "MKII AI Grenade" Token. I have not read the comics, I have only seen the movies so you may know this better than myself but grenades do not impress me as a Hellboyesque weapon (although he did use some in the movie "Hellboy", they were someone else's weapon).

As for critiquing the two cards, I will definitely be using card #2. The first image of Hellboy wearing just shorts seems to screams "Hellboy Invades the West Hollywood Leather Club Scene". I had not realized Hellboy was "outed". Apparently, his "crush" on Liz Sherman is much like a marriage to Nicole Kidman or Katie Holmes ...

Ouch!

I hear Hellboy is going to be in the upcoming remake of the "Bird Cage."

So, after Hellboy...what can we see from the good Doc??? What new ideas are floating in your head?

Ellraiser

I am trying to finish my custom map, I will put up an alternate figure for Lady Furstenberg, and more stuff. Part of the fun is posting the stuff with no warning. Just putting it up for folks to see.

For U-Chronic Token Of The Month I'm playing around with the idea of a fourth Hellboy "Summer Pack" ala the official "Winter Packs" of John MacNeal and Eva Kramer.

I'd also like to generate generic tokens and rules for a third faction. There are many other ideas in the pipeline, I think Plageman's Ikarus Faith character deserves some attention.

Eventualy I would like to finish my "side map" and teleportation rules, but that's pretty far off.

Hey! I thought I posted a third faction!

I am planning on making full pretty faction sheets for Moeller's Hermetics and the BPRD stuff, too.

Any comments on the map I posted? I know... It's not done yet. Last night I finished off the bottom edge and part of the top edge by the vehicles. I am gonna try to finish and post it tonight. It will be late - at least midnight California time... I'll finish all the paths and put in some objectives, but I really need scenarios and those need specific objectives, so....

Get busy people and make up scenarios... I'm giving fair warning - it will be worth your time. Malechi and Hahnarama know what I have done in the past...

I was more thinking about generic VP tokens and third party enterance rules, etc.

Awesome! I did that a little bit in Moeller's Hermetics, but something more thought through would be great. In my new map there are 4 entry points.

Updated (but still not finished) the map on my blog...

Tannhäuser Tuesday - Now with Two Lady Fürstensteins

I have posted a second Lady Fürstenstein card with a new figure.

I am looking to find out which figure you like best. Let me know.

Definitely love the new caped figure, but why didn't you use the art image on the card like so ...

It seems to fit the Tannhäuser look exactly that way ...,.

Mal - I had thought of that, but all the rest of Moeller's Hermetics have the photos... Just making them match. Now if you have line art for everything....

I was afraid that would be the response. Too bad the rest of the figures weren't from Indie Clix also ...

Well there is line art for all of it somewhere because all of the D&D and Star Wars figures cards have line art drawings on them. I just can't find decent versions of that art. The D&D card art is tiny.

I really like Malechi's work on the card of Lady Furstenstein 2.0

Yep Malechi is awesome. Card is up on blog as is lots of Comic-Con news

The first two U-Chronic tokens have been added to the BSA library thanks to Doc Savage and littlewars.

Quick note about the pdf for the Sentinel on the BSA: I very slightly revised the text to incorporate proper game terms (i.e. end of Sequence vs. end of chracter's turn), and to clarify rules - nothing drastic.

Doc all I can say is EXCELLENT WORK with a great supporting cast of littlewars and
Malechi & Plageman.

A couple of sugestions for figures for Hellboys enemies (my search notes in brackets) followed
by my conclusions

Dr Karl Kroenen
(Nazi - bodysuit) = HeroClix Indy - Major Maxin

Ilsa Haupstein
(blonde - young) = Star Wars Unleashed - Juno Eclipse
or = Star Wars Legacy of the Force - Deena Shan
my only problem with either of these is here in the UK they go for £8 each = $15 (ouch)

Trevor Bruttenholm
(beard - young) = HeroClix DC T.O. Morrow
not sure about white labcoat and test tube but beards are a bit rare on figures

An alternate figure for the Jackal - I think the colour of the uniform Human with Blaster for Hire
is too Union (light brown) I'm thinking Corellian Security Officer from SW: Legacy of the Force it's
greyer in tone, more like WW2 German pilots uniform and a more dynamic pose but you're the master.

Future Candidates for Tannhauser usage (in MHO)

Star Wars :
Legacy of the Force :
Human Scoundrel
Human Bodyguard

Bounty Hunters :
Corellion Pirate
Dark Hellion (pilot anyone ?)
Mistryl Shadow Guard (hooded lady with whip ?)

HeroClix:
Marvel :
Jessica Jones
Tessa
Peter Wisdom
Echo

DC :
Talia
Hyena (werewolf ?)
Jinx
Huntress

Indy :
Abbey Chase
Natalia Kassle

hope this is of some help to someone

in conclusion Doc and the team KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK it is much appreciated by us
less talented and imaginative mortals !!

tomodachi6874 - Thanks for the suggestions - many of them are in my box of figures slated for conversion!

Check out the blog for my official first draft of my gigantic map!
