Last post by Majestic - June 10, 2024, 01:28:41 PMWelcome, Anyonecanbethebug!
That's too bad that you didn't get a warmer reception on FB. I understand, as I felt one of the early responses I got somewhere was kinda rude, too. That said, I continued on, and have found the community to be really welcoming and awesome, after that initial response.
Looking forward to seeing what you've made!

The forum could use some new blood - posting has been pretty slow for a while. Maybe you could share some of your customs here on the board? I like seeing other people's takes on characters. That would be cool. (In your "origin" scenario, I was the father who played with my kids.)
Yeah I feel the same way about the game itself. I'm "younger" (35), and I've gotten some folks into the game who are in their late-20s/early-30s, but can't get none of them to post/be active. I moderate an OP discord and there's a lot of activity there, but it's mostly just like 6 of us who don't like FB anymore.
I'll def post up some customs. I just wrapped up a set based off of the video game Hades, and my partner and I have Buffy (seasons 1 and 2) and Chrono Trigger sets in the works as well, so I'll post some goods up soon.

General Comic Discussion / What’s everyone reading?
Last post by Anyonecanbethebug - May 22, 2024, 08:29:15 AMTitle says it all. What are ya reading in May '24?
Currently working my way through:
Chainsaw Man - I read the first two volumes about a year ago and thought they were great, but just got caught up in life. Re-read the first volume again and it's just as awesome as I remember. Imagine if Peter Parker was possessed by a Chainsaw devil, and just really wanted to eat a nice meal and kiss a cute girl. On that note...
Pitiful Human Lizard - I've got the second trade of this superb Canadian comic, a comedic but heartfelt tale of a guy who just wants to do the right thing in his Toronto neighborhood. PHL rules and also channels those Peter Parker vibes.
(I'd love a crossover between Denji from Chainsaw Man, Spider-Man, the Pitiful Human Lizard, and Deku from MHA. Just real sweet people trying to be better than the world around them).
Space Riders - Another deep cut, with three arcs and 11 issues (I'm still waiting on that 12 issue Black Mask, you bastards!) FFO: robots, spaceships, space Latinos, space Red Sonja, great art, Jack Kirby, potty mouths.
Ultimates by Ewing, Rocafort, and Foreman - This was easily the best "Avengers" book to release post-Secret Wars. It's a shame it never got enough room to breathe and explore the outer limits of the 616 like it intended. There's a world where the Ultimates grew, maybe Ewing got his hands on Miracle Man in the post Marvel buyout, had crossovers with his own Immortal Hulk run, but the 22 issues featuring America Chavez, Black Panther, Blue Marvel, Captain Marvel, and Monica Rambeau will nonetheless be burned in my brain for lifetimes.
JSA by Geoff Johns - Loved this book when it came out. It has been one of the biggest drags to get through as an adult. Bad dialogue, a too big cast with very little time to give to any of them, a meandering story with too many threads. Bummed on this one!
Besides those, I'm trying to stay current on Ram V's Detective Comics run and Stephen Graham Jones' Earthdivers, and always loving Ice Cream Man.
I'd love to hear from youse guys! Best!

Where to Play / Looking to play in Chicago

Introductions / Hello from Chicago
Last post by Anyonecanbethebug - May 22, 2024, 07:58:19 AMHello all,
Name's Ralph and I'm from Chicago. I played OP as a kid with my dad and rediscovered it at the onset of pandemic with my girlfriend. I've always loved comic books and the crossover issues were always my favorite. I remember the first time I saw Marvel vs DC on the racks and even the first time I saw X-Men vs Street Fighter at the local 7-11. The fact that it was possible to do this with cards (I got swept up in MtG real young too) blew my young mind.
I've been recollecting since late '20/early '21 and I discovered this forum just by googling for tips on deck building and anything else OP related, after being received rather rudely by one of the larger Facebook groups. Eventually, I found a great FB community that welcomed my partner and I, and we eventually found out folks were making awesome customs that they'd share with their friends! We started making our own customs a short time later.
Nowadays, that's all I wanna do! I cook up and test new mechanics, come up with cards based on stuff a little off the beaten path of the Big 2, and run an online OP club where we play games. Three days a week a crew of us from all over the states meet up and jam games and shoot the shit, and I've started building a local group as well.
Anyways, that's me! Glad I could finally get an account in here, even if it took me a while to finally post.
Best,
R

Where to Buy/Trade / Re: Wanted: Beyonder character...
Last post by justa - March 30, 2024, 07:09:39 PMI wish you luck! Ornge King Collectables has that card listed at $299 (US). He doesn't have any available, but it shows how much people are paying.
