Welcome to the Heroscapers 2.0 site! We've still got some dust to clear and adjustments to make, including launching a new front page, but we hope you enjoy the improvements to the site. Please post your feedback and any issues you encounter in this thread.

The other nice thing about this method is that anyone can take a break without holding up other people.
Not that I want to take a break, but some people may have other actual interests or something.
What could possibly be more important than Heroscape and C3G?

Nope, you're the only one who can't take a break under this system.
You're still doing the art on all the cards! (you and your darn templates ... you're indispensable!)And I guess I don't mind being queued up the first time around since after that we'll naturally order ourselves based on when our initial creations are completed.
OK, so here's the procedure for withdrawing an attempt and moving on to a new card if you can't push it through the process:
If you don't think the interest is there, shoot me a pm or ask in the thread to withdraw and I'll lock the thread. At that point, you'll be able to start a new design thread whenever you like. Then if you ever want to go back to the other figure and try again, you can start a new thread for that figure and reference the old, locked one whenever relevant (or others can take up the torch and try to push their own version of that figure through).

I really don't think a lottery would be needed just a firm go ahead once the X-men expansion is done. As it's probably long odds that 2 of us will pick the same custom to do. Then as Bat's said first in first served.
Also I would like to suggest that we could open it up to not just side kicks & C3G that can only do the creative side but all fans but it would still be C3G team that would be critiquing it each step of the way. This might bring some more community excitement/involvement to what is produced. Obviously we would set guidelines that each person would have to agree to before wasting our time, maybe like a member would have to sponsor their participation. Maybe a thread where non members put their case forward first & if a member likes it enough they would sponsor their idea.
Cheers

I think I'd like to become involved in this. I was always more of an indie guy myself but Little LMB loves the Marvel & DC stuff. I'm not sure where you guys are with all the C3G stuff, but I know my little guy would love to see Red Hulk and Anti-Venom in our Marvelscape games. Let me know where I can help out and I'll try to take up the slack.

Glad to see the interest LMB
We're kind of finding our way with this new direction, so when we figure it out, we'll let you know. But for now you can read through various C3G threads to get yourself familiar with what we're about and some of the procedures.I'm not against having other fans involved, the more the merrier. However, I think that initially we might consider keeping the first draft of customs limited to the Heroes and Sidekicks until we get a feel for how it goes. It's new territory and if we have 20 new customs threads going at once, it might get crazy and bog things down. I would suggest that at least initially, that we keep it as is but encourage all fans to help in the creative process and perhaps even playtesting. We can gauge the seriousness of those wanting to join in by the way they participate. Once we get a flow going and know what we're doing we can open up the first draft customs to others that have shown sincere interest and not just fly by night people that aren't really serious.
Yeah, I'm with Hahma on this one.
To use our friend LMB here as an example - I love your enthusiasm, dude, and I hope you stick around and participate. That said, we've been at this awhile and I think that we're at a point where people have to "prove it" before we'll just let them take the helm on any major projects. To me, that means becoming a Sidekick first. There's really no reason for us to ever limit the number of Sidekicks we have. If there are 100 people who show passion for the project and participate on a regular basis and they want to be Sidekicks, then by all means, I'll make them Sidekicks. But they have to fulfill some of that criteria first, IMO.
And what does one have to do to become a Sidekick? First and foremost, show me this is something you actually care about enough to participate in it regularly. If you've been posting in the threads and participating and offering suggestions and critiques and maybe even playtest results, then when it comes to step two, I'm going to be open arms. If you've posted once in a C3G thread and mostly just read beyond that, I'm going to tell you to wait a bit and show me what you've got first.
Which brings me to the second step - ask if you can be a Sidekick. All you need is for one Hero to propose you be a Sidekick and we can put it to a vote and get you signed up, and then I'll update the threads to reflect this and get you your cool C3G Badge. Like I said, if you show you're into this project and will be really willing to pitch in, I have no problem adding a ton of Sidekicks. But I'd prefer not to let just anyone start a thread who hasn't at least shown that, because I don't want tons of halfway interested people starting threads (not calling anyone out on this - purely hypothetical, but it does happen) and then disappearing and leaving us twisting in the wind when we've devoted some hours to the project they're directing already. Earn your stripes and you can direct a design thread. I have no problem with that, but I'm not in favor of just opening it up to complete chaos.

Sidekicks absolutely can. That's why I'm stressing people becoming Sidekicks first. Sidekicks are people we all approved having around who've shown commitment to this project. If you're one of those people, by all means, I want you to be able to design and start design threads. It's random guy who posts once and then disappears I'm wary of. Everyone starts somewhere, so that wasn't a shot at LMB. I hope we'll see plenty of posts from him to come and plenty of participation as well. I just want to see people earn their stripes a bit (i.e. become Sidekicks) before starting any Design threads.

So this was what all that 'ala carte' stuff was about...
Man, I really need to stop going in holidays...
