Todo list

1. Fix Poseidon
Flame already seems to have a great idea for this. Poseidon creates lots of terrain, but also has cards that eat up terrain to power other effects, and in the end, his overall stuff-creation rate is about on par with the other gods. This involves a whole crap-ton of card revisions that will then need playtesting, but it’s the right idea heading in the right direction. This is good.

2. Create heroes
This is my number one priority right now. I need to create 6-10 heroes that each have 2 or 3 unique aspects to them. For most of them, favored terrain will probably be one of those, but not necessarily.

3. Revise rules
a. Hero Points are now called Action Points (AP).
b. Revise/clarify the intercept rules to allow interception from adjacent hexes. Define what that means exactly. Decide if cost needs to change or vary from the standard 2AP action.
c. Your god power can be played any time during your turn.
d. A hero who has been grabbed is allowed only a single hero action on their next turn.
e. The default rule will be unlimited use of actions on your turn as long as you have points to pay for them. The hero boards will need to be modified so that intercept and defend are marked as reactions, and the bottom row (move, sprint, rest) are marked as one use per turn only. The attacks, plus kick/throw, will not be limited.
f. Carrying the godball into your own goal counts as 2 points. If the godball enters your goal by any other means, 1 point.
g. Rules for dropping the godball.
h. All of this requires going through all the cards and ensuring consistency with revised rules.

4. Update the Print’n’Play
a. New hero cards
b. New god decks
c. Ensure that all required special tokens are available in the P’n’P, and redo all of them to have color-coded borders to match their gods.

Re: new grab rule

Grab status is dropped only if the hero is moved to new hex before he begins any of actions on his turn. That includes being shoved in previous turn or moved by some god powers.

I concur, Flame. I was thinking that each hero has a grab marker. When they grab someone else, they put their marker on that hero's board. If the grabber voluntarily lets go (like to grab someone else or something) or if the two heroes are moved so that they are no longer adjacent, then the marker is returned. Otherwise, the marker goes back at the end of the grabbee's next turn. Makes it simple to track.

For now, each god in my set has 10 identical tiles in their color. 8 are used for AP, 1 for a score marker, 1 for grabbing.

Mike: I put a couple of card suggestions in the 1.2 card file already. I think we'll need to make another pass with our notes (like we did last time), and then I can re-format the cards.

Thing to add back in: You had this great text for the Hera cards, and I seem to have lost it in translation somewhere. This was my fault, but not on purpose. I think you had the Direct vs. Curse text in the PDF formatting file, but it wasn't in the playground.

Change up any grab blessings.

Curses.

Curse could allow 2 actions instead of 1 action.

Yes. If you are grabbed at the moment you start taking actions. That is the maximum number of actions you may take.

I've made some changes to the first 8 pages of the rule book, if anyone wants to look at them:

Here is the new draft rule set incorporating all of the changes listed by Mike above:
