Title: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: fennshysa on April 01, 2022, 08:33:16 PM
I've always wanted to do a Valiant set. Never read too many of them back in the day and they didn't have a lot of splashy art that translated well to overpower cards. A couple of years ago on vacation I read most of their new stuff on comixology. Lots of good art in there. I've been tinkering with it for a while and it's starting to come together now. Most of the first stuff is based on Archer and Armstrong and Timewalker as those were my favorites.

All of it is based on the current storylines but I am planning on adding Boutique set with Magnus, Solar and Turok.
Changed This........ They are now in a Google Drive and I will not be linking individual cards.
Here Are the Characters (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1y24BDp9XR6aGYC_7KOZdU3dMN6Nqd3XW?usp=sharing).
Here are the Specials (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15WA0OwvbQzMIxVCTwo8KxmojplS0ehrg?usp=sharing).

glad to see you back on the boards, fenn.  i'm also happy that someone is still active on this board creating.
i must admit to being ignorant of all of these characters save Ninjak.  that just means "i gots some reading to do".   ;D  someone else did a previous version of Ninjak on this board, i believe based on Acclaim.  i'm too lazy to look it up.  no overlap, though.
btw: you used the term "Reserve Deck" instead of "Draw Pile" on Ninja - Spy.  i think we discussed this in a previous thread.  i know what you meant.

extra:  i'm keen on seeing what direction you choose to go with the Sect.  on first look, you could overload them with Specials for each of their splinter groups, so 20+.  but then who would you team with them?  and how many individual splinter groups warrant development?

Post by: justa on May 11, 2022, 09:11:46 PM
justa wanted to give you a bump to keep the thread current.  looking forward to your next additions.  (as always)

edit: also noted while filing these that Ninjak"s "MI-6" should be coded CF, not CG.
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: cyber0820 on May 12, 2022, 01:10:36 PM
Its nice to see this place is still up & running!
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: fennshysa on June 09, 2022, 02:34:00 PM
Hey Justa. I changed the Ninja-Spy card anyway. Still have to fix the code. Changed Armstong's Nearly Immortal also. Added quite a bit.
With the Sect I went with Sister's Of Perpetual Darkness, Dominion, 1% and Null since they were the main groups. Black Bloc for fun and the Hashish Eaters.
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: justa on June 09, 2022, 06:21:49 PM
a lot to process, but some quick items....

i saw the Ninja-Spy change to Stealthy Attack on the Google drive, but on the name changed on the list above.  not sure if i like the BP mechanic for him, but i'll think about it.

Armstrong's Nearly Immortal didn't make it to the Google drive.

lovin' the synergy of Gen. Zero's Cloud+Headspace.  reminds me of an old Byrds song (8 miles high...).   ::)
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: fennshysa on June 09, 2022, 07:14:31 PM
Uploaded Nearly Immortal. I"m open to suggestions on Ninjak. It just fit the picture when i looked at it and he needed some attack cards.

That was exactly how Cloud/Headspace used their powers so that one came easily. I"m not 100% sure on The Telic but it is definitely the flavor of what i want her to have.

Have you read archer and armstrong now?
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: justa on June 10, 2022, 03:56:10 PM
i have read "about" Archer & Armstrong (and the others), but i have not read the actual comics.

on Ninjak - while I agree he could use an attack special, one "from Reserve" doesn't seem to fit the motif as well as the Spy card did.  i think Ninjak would be more in line with attacking Opponent's Reserve than being in reserve himself.  but i don't want to "drive" your cards one way or another, as you are more familiar with the character than i am.  (the previous version i saw of him was 2746=19 - your version of 3847=22 is much more powerful.)

Armor Hunters - Helix should be coded DR.  (reference Brainiac's Mental Illusions)

Eternal Warrior - Warrior Eternal text says F or S, but icons say F or I.  my guess is you made that card right after The Fist & The Steel.   ;)

Harada - Omega Level Psiot has no code - should be FT.  (reference Thor's Unfettered Might)

and a question - are you planning a Mission/Event set called "Unity"?  at first i thought the end of Harada's World Domination was a thematic way of saying you only ventured 1 Mission card (unity?).  then the question occured to me.  maybe put "Unity" in quotes?  (reference Shadowcat's Cat Claws)

some good stuff there.  thanks for sharing.
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: fennshysa on June 12, 2022, 11:32:29 PM
Thanks for checking my stuff. I fixed the 3 mistakes. They should show up corrected. If you have Comixology Unlimited all the archer and armstrong stuff is on there. I really enjoyed them.

Ninjack could be lower on the stats, the Intellect especially but I'm probably just going to leave him there. He's rather scary good for someone with no abilities in the comics. I'll probably switch to the attack the Reserve like you suggested.
Yes, I'm planning on a Unity Mission set.

In the meantime, here are the specials for Bloodshot. Yes the last card is cartoony art. It makes me laugh and the picture with him half blown away eating cow carcasses in a slaughterhouse was way to gross for me. I changed it to basic universe card just to try something different.  Loaded Weapon is a new mechanic though i think i did something like it on and Aspect card before.

Bloodshot   7.62 MM Rounds   
Acts as a level 4 Fighting attack. May make 1 additional attack.
Bloodshot   Full Loadout   
Acts as a level 8 Energy, Strength, Fighting or Intellect attack
Bloodshot   Loaded Weapon   
Bloodshot is +1 to all attacks for remainder of game and may always attack as the first action of the battle, regardless of Venture Total winner.
Bloodshot   Nanite Repair   
Remove 1 Hit from Bloodshot's Permanent Record or Hits from Current Battle.
Bloodshot   Project Rising Spirit   
Bloodshot's "Nanite Repair" and "Rebuild Mode" become Any Character Specials for remainder of game. Bloodshot's Hit's to KO number is increased by 3 for remainder of game.
Bloodshot   Rebuild Mode   
Discard 1 Basic Universe card to remove all Hits from Bloodshot's Permanent Record with an icon of the same type as discarded card.
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: justa on June 14, 2022, 04:36:04 PM
please DON'T change Ninjak!  he's Valiant's version of Batman - highly trained fighter, mad intelligence, lots of neat gadgets - he deserves the grid boost.

my first thought was of the Preacher comic where Cassidy is all messed up, hiding from the sun in a hole in a field, enticing a cow to come closer.  (i probably would have gone with the gross.)

Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: justa on August 01, 2022, 08:42:46 PM
what a hoot and a half!  you've given me my laugh for the day.
when i saw the first 5 specials posted, i justa knew Van Goat had to be the 6th.  [although the thought occurred to me that the goat was stolen for Volstagg, but that's another story (finally getting around to finishing my next foray into creating).]  still waiting for the goat to show up on the google drive.
Shields should be AG vice AD (see Any Character Guardian Angel).
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: fennshysa on August 02, 2022, 10:55:17 AM
Glad I could give you a laugh. I couldn't leave the goat out. He was originally going to be any Any Character AR but then i decided just to put him with the boys. He was a 7 multi to start but then they had 4 OPD so i trimmed him down to a HF.
I'm not sure why he isn't showing up for you. He looks to be in the drive to me but i'll reload when i fix the Shields special later. Thanks.

So what do you have coming next?
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: justa on August 02, 2022, 12:30:17 PM
the goat shows now.  not sure why it took a while.

up next from me will be my usual scattershot assortment of characters.  i started late this year for some reason.

Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: justa on August 04, 2022, 09:35:35 PM
did Roku's hair get them to name her after the "streaming" service?
HARD Corps - i won't even start with the jokes.  but they kind of remind me of Suicide Squad.
Geomancer - elegant build.
i also saw you had the rest of Archer posted.  i had to do a double take on Bouncer.  it's not your run-of-the-mill non-OPD BM special.  could've been coded as non-OPD AV.  but then i realized OP3 did a similar version of BM at level 3, so i can accept it for what it is.
slow but sure, i'm getting there.  character cards are done, and specials have been fleshed out, so no its time to go into production mode.
great to learn about characters that i'm unfamiliar with.  thanks fenn.
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: fennshysa on August 10, 2022, 12:01:39 AM
Roku's name has always bugged me too. I had to look it up, Roku means "six" in Japanese. I'm guessing she must be the 6th of the Secret 7. HARDCorps is definitely a little Suicide Squad like.

Thank you on Geomancer.

6 of 7 sounds like a Borg designation.  maybe one could watch them on their Roku video streaming player, if one owned the device & subscribed to the service.  i'm lucky i didn't try to make a career as a comedian.

i filed Livewire as Livewire-V for disambiguation purposes (V for Valiant).  she's the Amanda McKee version.  DC has a Leslie Willis version (i have a character card from the "old" site).  Marvel had a male version - Rance Preston was Live Wire (he got eaten by Princess Python's pet snake).
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: fennshysa on August 10, 2022, 11:17:51 PM
6 of 7. 7 of 9. It's pretty close.  ;)
Marvel's Livewire was a great little piece of trivia also. Thanks justa!

Another Valiant baddie.   Master Darque! I originally had him as a 7-7 character but realized I had no level 8 Intellect in the set so far so I bumped him. Although if i ever make Dr Silk he might come in as a level 8 Intellect too.

Master Darque      7-3-2-8 (20)

Master Darque-Corrupting Power   
Acts as a level 5 Intellect attack +1 for each Master Darque Special in all character's Permanent Records and Hits From Current Battle.

Master Darque-Darque Will   Acts as a level 8 Energy, Fighting, Strength, or Intellect attack.

Master Darque-Deadside Monsters

Master Darque-Power Mad   
Master Darque may play any Artifact card on himself for remainder of game.

Master Darque-Reaper's Blade   
Acts as a level 4 Fighting attack, may make 1 additional attack.

Master Darque-Reborn   
Play during battle. On your turn, after Master Darque is KO'd, discard this Special to move Master Darque from Defeated Characters Pile to Reserve. Play as normal.

Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: justa on August 11, 2022, 06:25:44 PM
not sure what you intended on Deadside Monsters, but if you up it to level 5, it is a legacy JH code.  outside of Unlucky At Love, AM is usually used to up the character's own power.
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: fennshysa on August 11, 2022, 08:06:37 PM
That's what I wanted but somehow couldn't find all 10 of those specials when i was looking for them. I will definitely change it to that.

I usually text search on gdmjrs checklist but the wraparound text gets me sometimes. I think this was one -2 is on one line and to defense is on the next line.
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: justa on August 11, 2022, 08:34:55 PM
i go by my spreadsheet.  i copied it, and then resorted the Specials by code (instead of by character) so that it groups them.  makes the right mechanic easier to find.  (the word file is only good for legacy codes.)
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: fennshysa on August 12, 2022, 10:51:03 AM
So you have a spreadsheet with the full text of all the characters specials? Could i maybe have a copy of that?
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: justa on August 12, 2022, 04:26:57 PM
to begin with, it does not contain "full text".  it is much abbreviated and paraphrased here & there to save space.  and it was my understanding that you don't like seeing what other people have done so as not to influence your creations.  the actual spreadsheet would force you to see that.

so i will rephrase your request as follows:  can i give you a spreadsheet showing card codes & mechanics used by both legacy cards & custom (or homemade) cards?  and the answer to that question is YES.  it will take me some time to gin it up, so be patient.  i will need to disassociate the specials from specific characters, then scrap all the duplicate entries.  clerical grunt work - tedious, but easily do-able.  i've got time.

(warning: it gets really ugly in the P's, especially PN.  back on the old site where you used to post, one creator used the PN code as his signature regardless of the card mechanic.)
Title: Re: Valiant Overpower!
Post by: fennshysa on August 12, 2022, 11:17:40 PM
No don't worry about it. I have a spreadsheet I made that has the abbreviations and paraphrases.  And i'm currently in the E codes of another spreadsheet that has full text of every variation of the codes.

From what you said, I just thought that maybe you had a full text spreadsheet of everything. My goal is one day to to import the GDMJR checklists to a database format. 20+ years ago i used to write little programs for an insurance company that would import info like that. These days i have no idea how to do that anymore.  :)

I think i remember those PN codes. did it have something to do with his name?


Added Rai.

Rai      3-7-6-3 (19)

Rai-Father's Enforcer   
Acts as a level 9 Strength or Intellect attack.

Rai-Gathering Allies   
For remainder of game, Rai may Draw 1 card from top of Draw Pile for the first Universe: Ally card played by Rai each battle. Discard duplicates.

Rai-Investigation   
Look at top 4 cards of Draw Pile and choose any 1 card. Reshuffle Draw Pile. Draw chosen card into hand, may be a duplicate.

Rai-New Japan's Protector

Rai-Spirit Guardian   
Play in the current battle. Rai is +7 to Venture total in the next battle.

Added the first of the Gold Key Characters that are no longer with Valiant. Magnus, Robot Fighter. Oddly enough only 1 piece of art is actually from valiant. Most are from Dark Horse's latest interpretation, 1 piece of fanart and 1 from the original Gold Key. I couldn't find a good picture of 1A from valiant, just gold key.   Tried a few new things here. I'm pretty satisfied with my new version of the LG special.

i can't even remember the name of the old web site, never mind the names of those who posted on it.  i didn't even recognize YOUR name when you started posting here, but i sure recognized your work.

i'm not familiar with either of these characters, but i did look them up.  (love the art choices.)  in general, both characters stories seem similar - social tension & upheaval between the haves & the have-nots - one with mostly humans, one with sentient robots.  looking forward to "Unity".

Acts as a level 4 Fighting attack. May not be defended by a Placed card or shifted. If successful, target character may not play placed cards for remainder of battle.

Turok-Patient Stalker

another one i'll have to read up on.
i'm not too keen on the IA, though.  what with defense and teamwork attacks, i'm not so sure there would be many times you have an extra Power card to drive the re-use of the basic U.  worth a try, i suppose (if you're into using basic U, that is.
enjoy your vacation.

I think i enjoyed the Turok comics the most of the old Valiant stuff i've read. I've never read the Gold Key stories or the newer versions. Though i did steal some art from them. I felt the same about the IA, i contemplated it a IA like i did for Electro a long time ago. "+1 to defense while a Basic Universe Card placed" or even "while a Basic Universe Fighting card placed, gains +? to defense (all around [not just fighting], but that seems a little too powerful?)

And thank you, vacation was nice. I think I sunburned my scalp though. Fortunately nothing else.
