[RoseHeart]

The safe answer sl4cker, is that balance will likely change between now and the next match.

There is one issue but I wont point it out bc its a rule I'm contemplating on revising.

[Sl4cker]

well if there's anything that you want me to change let me know

3 Hit
X Pow
If you have more cards in your hand then your opponent, this attack's Pow is equal to 2.5 times the difference in hand size, rounded down. When this card is played, it is still considered to be in your hand until the effect resolves.

B. B(4) ★

3 Hit
When used this card secretly stays in play until a successful attack against you triggers this effect:
Immediately, if you would be damaged by an attack, attempt to negate the attack's effect, if successful draw 2 cards. After this card is revealed it is discarded at the end of the next turn. If this card negated another card's affect, or if the attack would have dealt 1 damage, only draw 1 card.

C. B(4) ★

Draw 3 cards, then return 2 cards from your hand to the deck.

D. B(4) ★

5 Hit
2 Pow
This attack does not do damage. Instead, look at an amount of cards in the opponent's hand equal to the damage it would have done, ignoring defenses. Once revealed, a card cannot be revealed a second time. (If all cards in an opponent's hand would be revealed, any excess reveals happen to random cards from the opponent's deck.

Name a card. If it is in the opponent's hand, they remove all copies of it from their hand.

A. KA(3) ★★

1 hit
2 pow
After this attack the card stays in play until you are hit. While this is in play attacks against you have -2 hit.

A simple single-shot gun with a big shield around it. The shield can be braced against the ground and will stay in place, providing cover, until the mech gets distracted and drops it.

B. BA(2) ★★★

When played do 1 pow to your legs. This card stays in play until the end of next round. While in play: attacks against you have -4 hit, gain +2 hit to your ranged attacks, and gain +2 pow to your melee attacks.

Use massive rockets to leap into the sky. The cloud of fiery smoke and sudden vertical motion will avoid most attacks. Once in the air the high speeds make you difficult to hit and the clear view of the battle enhances shooting, or you can just dive into the enemy from above with a melee attack. The landings tend to be a bit rough on the hardware though.

C. B(4) ★

2 hit
2 pow
If this hits then the first Claw Rake you play next turn gains +1 hit and pow against that target.

Shoots a claw-on-a-chain at the enemy which will try to crush and hold onto whatever it hits. If followed up with a normal attack with the claw then the victim can be pulled in with the chain while the claw being already embedded will combine to make that claw attack more effective.

D. B(4) ★

3 hit
2 pow

Rake through an enemy with a big claw.

E. KA(3) ★★

Do 1 pow to your own cockpit. Next turn play two cards, keep one.

The control systems have a few quirks. They have been known to attack the pilot on occasion... But their ability to enhance the pilot's actions by using other systems, without even draining their resources, is remarkable.

OOC: I'd like to incorporate an announcer in this game, it's always made arena games I hosted fun in the past. I encourage lurkers to apply.

I'm not going to keep track of which body part a copy of your card came from if it comes from multiple. It's just going to fire from whatever the most prominent part is. Or what is still intact if that's out. I could keep track but it's just not really worth it for any good reason.

I've decided each session(cross fingers for a second) will have special build requirements. So mechs should be designed in the short break between matches. I believe this will be the most challenging and interesting for spectators, so it's the way I've decided to run the game.

(I will probably make a new thread then, and only mechlab posts will be allowed(to get them all on the front page) and this will serve as ooc mechpilot bar until next match's start)

[RoseHeart]

(What do you guys think of the art style? Getting better?)

[OceanSoul]

It's great. Sorta like a comic book, and the separated pictures allow them to display different perspectives of the same situation, as well as different points in time.

[RoseHeart]

It's so good to hear you say that. I have this strange phobia that when people don't even talk about the art that it's not displaying properly(or sux).

Probably because I was a really impressive artist as a kid but here standards in a place like this it's not quite as exceptional.

[RAM]

Art seems good to me. You have to be careful with art. It is more about getting the right art for the circumstance than getting the details right. Order of the Stick, for example, has, well, it is good at what it does, but is not exactly photo-realistic, but it really works because it is meant to tell a story and it conveys a story really well. On the other hand, I recall a forum game where everyone contributed their own art to a single image to form a composite. It was all odds and ends from Paint and such, but it worked. Then someone came along and said that their art was too good and it would kill the game, and they were right, they completely redid the whole thing from scratch with shading and textures and such, but they killed the game not because it was too good, but because they removed some of the previous contributions, redid the thing from a perspective that was difficult to expand from, and basically completely failed to grasp the premise of the game. Their art was "better" by appearance, but far far worse in terms of appropriateness, so they failed miserably as an artist...

Your comic gets the message across, not perfectly, there are a couple of things that I need to refer to the text for, where did the claws come from, whose foot is that... but basically it is good at doing what it is meant to, which is what is important. Also, I keep thinking that the railgun is actually protruding from the back of a leg and that Jackhammer is about to fall over in the final panel, but I can't figure out why.

[RoseHeart]

Thats a good point: the art and description are both a piece... so perhaps I should try combining them.

[RAM]

Well, you could, but I think that there is already a webcomic about redneck mechs... Does this qualify?

[RoseHeart]

Great find!
