Those homemades look bad-ass. Thank you Bios.
They all look great! Very polished. I especially love Invisible Woman. :D
Probably too powerful but what if Wolverine had a special card, or I.A. that said 'Hits from current battle are removed at the end of battle and do not get added to permanent record'? A variation of this would be a special called healing factor: After determining venture total remove 1 hit from current battle,' perhaps as a 1 per deck.
Bios, I was wondering if it was your intent for your CK specials (Thanos, Dr. Strange) to allow the resurrected character to remain 'alive' until he/she/it takes 1 hit? This would of course be unlike the standard rule for CKs because the resurrected character would be automatically KO'd at the end of the battle.
OOhhhh! I see.
Brilliant! ;D

I really like that idea. That would be a good Wolvie OPD - "Play in current battle. For remainder of game, after battle the has ended, Wolverine may remove 1 hit. Does not affect venture total."

After a lot of test playing and some feedback from friends, I've made a few changes in my homemade sets.
I forgot about this particular thread. What kinds of changes did you make? Is it to a special code type or to character stats? Just wondering what to look for. :) Also what's up with your or old site?

As far as I can remember:
- The text "draw 1 card" was removed from PK Specials
- Replaced some of Thor's Special cards
- Changed the IA in some Homebases
- Replaced some pictures (eg Daredevil and Punisher's character cards and Professor X's Cerebro)
- Replaced the font in all icons.
My website will be closed for a while, but I still want to develop it. Me and Jack have quite the same idea, except for the use of homemade cards. When I talked to him he was not very friendly to the idea of using them. But he is doing a great job and I support his ideas.
For me its very important to have a channel to homemades. I am working with homemades for a long time and me and a bunch of friends are used to play with them. So I want to restart the development of the site anytime soon.
But I know that some people are against using non-official cards. So I think it is crucial to respect their decision by making two playing modes.
Thanks for resurrecting this thread to remind me of your invisible woman hero card. Best homemade art of all time.
I think new cards especially with new ways of playing are essential to the long term quality of any game and given that Overpower has been out-of-print for so long, homemades are definitely a good idea or more like a necessary idea. I am working on a Batman: the Animated Series expansion that I am hoping will add some new elements and especially make DC more of a usable set of cards. I really like the homemades Bios has posted as well.

Hey Bios, I hope you don't mind, I borrowed your idea for Riddler's inherent for my DC character inherents list, and applied it to any placed card. ;D

That's good. My brothers and I figured Bishop should have the Inherent, "May not be Spectrum KO'd with Energy icons." - we figured he can always absorb Energy, so it shouldn't hurt him like others, but the ability can be overloaded!

That a great I.A. for him! If only the game designers were smart as us eh? ;D
Just finished another homemade set. I spent a lot of time with test play and fixes, thought I was never been able to finish it... But I am specially proud of this one, because it has lots of brand new characters:

Always wanted to make a Watcher character card, but how to make a character that can only watch ?!
So I finally came with this idea for an Inherent Ability: "The Watcher is not affected by Event cards and may not play any cards offensively. Counts as 12 points for tournament deckbuilding."
- "So what? You just made a dead weight!" Actually the Watcher has an important role, he leaves 64 points available for deckbuilding. So you can build a really strong front line at the price of playing with just 3 active characters.
I know its not such a great advantage, since you could use a 3 grid character like Jubilee and still have 62 points for deckbuilding. And Jubilee can attack and play cards offensively just like any other character. But I had to be loyal to the Watcher concept in comics and I guess the idea adds some fun to the game.
love it!
beware the watcher/beyonder decks!

Hope it won't be an issue. The card had not been test played yet. If that causes unbalance, maybe the 12 points sum grid should be reviewed...
Awesome cards man. I was in the process of making my own JLA Jr as the DC counterpart for the X-Babies and low and behold you've already done it! Great job on the cards.

Love the concept of the Watcher, but I think he should be able to do something else as well - run away to hide or heal! The possible addition of Specials would make him at least as attractive to use as 3-rank Jubilee.
I was thinking of something along the lines of a BJ (can't be attacked for remainder of battle), a JB (remove all hits and move to Reserve), an LO (negate Special played against self only), or an AL (remove 1 hit from permanent record). Maybe some sort of combination of these effects into 2 Specials. Justa thought I'd float you the idea.
Again, great work, Bios!
i agree
Damn, these cards keep getting better and better.
Bios, do you have any plans to do the backs of the mission cards?
Thaks :)
Loving your latest sets! Great choice of pictures.

Maybe you are right. The first results with Beyonder/Watcher were not very promising. The deck showed two major flaws: 1) The deck has few special cards, so its harder to avoid duplication; 2) After the first character gets KO'd is really easy to put some card advantage against Beyonder/Watcher by placing more cards, since placing cards on Watcher won't help much.
But we will keep test play running until we reach something more conclusive.

Thanks! About mission cards, I think they are pretty cool, but since their texts have no function, I only made their front and printed them with the regular back, just like any other cards.
Seeing Machine Man above makes me really want to play a Nextwave team. That would be fantastic.
Can I just say I really like the way you modified the universal (spawn) avoid so it no longer blocks opds and I think dig your change for the AE special as well. I haven't chance to read all of it but those were a couple things I noticed.
Pssst. Love your Harley Quinn specials too.
cable 7736 makes more sense
Would be awesome if you could make a Galactus character card with 8888 for the power grid. Any chance of that happening?

I completely forgot about that folder! I downloaded it awhile ago - your Galactus does look pretty awesome.
However, She-Hulks Breaking the Fourth Wall is one of my favorites; the special is cool, and the art selection was just awesome.

that would definitely make things interestig with a customs match-up using cards like the ones Bios makes. But also very good chance it could be abused. If you start using 'customs' then people might make their own and say "why can't I use my Deadpool 20 Fighting attack?" Exreme, I know, but I'm just saying. :P

These cards are incredible. Any update on the Spider-Man set, Bios? I'm excited to see character cards for guys like Chameleon, Vulture, Electro and Kraven.
Also, what printer settings/programs do you use to print your cards? I've noticed in your pictures that the quality of your cards appear to be indistinguishable to the official cards. I'm thinking of investing in a printer in the next month or so and printing out some of your cards to give them a play through.
Again, awesome job!

Thanks for the feedback! Spider-Man Foes set is almost ready to go. It will be finished in 3 weeks from now.
Regarding printer settings, I built a photoshop macro that I use to save pdf files for printing. Actually the cards you've seen on pictures are not indistinguishable to the official cards. Those are just test playing samples. But any good printer can do the job.
My group uses to print homemade sets on proper card stock, using a professional printer house nearby our area. Our cards are printed double sided with a back and cut exactly as the official cards. The output is great, but expensive when compared to the printer that Jack is using for the Marvels. Actually much more expensive, we've spent about $100 for each set with 250 cards.
Hey bios, I heard u have some cool specials for AIM. Where can I find those? Thanks
Yeah, and if you're still an active poster, how can I get some of your homemades on printed real card stock?!!!
Can't wait for the offical release. Looking good Bios ;)

Bumping this thread... any word on the Spidey sets yet?
$100 bucks for a 250 card set is a steal when you consider how much packs would probably go for.
those looks great! How good is this download? I'd love to make my custom cards look more official. Any tips would be great. Thanks in advance!

Watcher could have a draw 3?that?s not an attack. And based on what if series, they can and do break their vow
