please read the write-ups are under each card for my considerations & intent.

does this help in the Battlesite vs. Any Character situation? let me know what you think.
I enjoy this a great deal and wish it were real. Through all of my re-reading and learning the "modern" version of the game from the one I played eons ago I failed to notice that you cannot use like Team Overpower or Marvel Manhattan as a battlesite because of the rules. This made me sad in that I couldnt call in a gauntlet of heroes and was rather restricted to sites approved within the games printing. And since there were no new printings, it was a bit more limiting than I had hoped. This idea completely breaks it open, but I wonder how fair it would be. It essentially gives a toolbox to both players.
I'd have to see how this one works before i can give an opinion. I really like the art. Neat!
if you get a chance to test it out, please let me know if it works as intended. I may never actually play again, but I still love the game, and have a few ideas that might be worth doing sometime in the future.
I love it as a homebase and as a battlesite! This battlesite would of course make all other battlesites obsolete as it is better in almost every way. Maybe something like any three characters for the battlesite or 6 with some other type of heavy downside. That would make the other battlesites currently in the game not obsolete.
I understand your point, Photonicide, but try to keep in mind that I was not trying be comparative with other Battlesites, I was trying to create a sort of "ultimate" Battlesite to compete with Any Character cards. also, we always played with homemade cards ever since 2000 when they stopped production of legacy cards, of which a lot of Any Characters cards have been created. I will leave the added restrictions to anyone willing to run with my idea and refine it to be more fair, or more competitive, whichever way you want to look at it. from the look of the cards that you created for max-6 teams, maybe you'd like to have a go at it? NBD to me - I just like to share ideas and see what happens. once posted, I feel they belong to the community - you can "steal" whatever you want. (though my way of thinking says you can't steal what is freely given.) have some fun with it/them, and i'll be very happy.
Making an ultimate battle site to compete with the Any Characters is great as Any Characters have always been stronger. I hope my earlier comment didn't come across as too strong, my goal was to try and give some constructive feedback :) I really enjoy seeing what you and everyone comes up with here! :)
"too strong"??? absolutely no way, man. to me any comments are better than no comments. and frankly I find the negative but detailed ones to be more useful for me when working on ideas than other comments so that I can improve. for that matter, if people want they can shit on my ideas for all they're worth as long as they give me a specific reason so I can learn from it, and I won't hold it against them. I myself probably come off as a little too critical to most people with some of my comments, or trying to get them to change their cards, but i'm just trying to share ideas with no mal-intent involved, as I assume you are.
so any comments you have, feel free to share them, as I've tried to do with you.
I like the aspects!
we settled on a similar one to stockpile for big apple in the evils set
I though Big Apple was "opponent may not concede"? or did I get it mixed up?
I didn't see any in the list that allowed "stockpiling", but i'm often wrong.
you're not wrong, that was the original. testing a bunch, it just wasn't that good a card (I mean, i'ts a good card, but not good enough as an aspect to a homebase with a negative inherent)
it was switched to 'opponent may not concede FROG', but that was too powerful, so we settled on 'FROG when opp concedes, you may place 1 card to each character'.
you still won't want to concede when opp has it out, but at least you have the option
I guess i'll have to go back through the thread page by page. I don't remember seeing that update posted in the list.
that one wasn't updated in the list. it had been a couple years between posts for me, so a handful of cards were changed because of testing (less than 5 i'd say, off the top of my head) and never posted. the small group using them has a crappy printed set, but even those handful have the old text
maybe you can list the changes to those, too. someday....no rush.
but back to the Newsstand - quite frankly i'm amazed by all the Heinlein readers on this site, because nobody has asked what TANSTAAFL means. (unless no one took the time to read the write-ups under the cards on deviantart.)
will do
i'll confess to not reading any descriptions. looked up the acronym...good one!
