Aloyzo's Arsenal Discussion Thread

Could have been interesting with more acid or control it.
Well, better luck with AA in Spring 2018.

 

I hope everyone's having a nice holidays. My intention is to open AA 21 in the first week of January

 

Aloyzo's Arsenal #21 is live!

I suspect many of these are actually wrong, so I've put "**" next to cards that do not currently appear on any items of that type.

 

Thanks Kalin!

 

I will probably close the contest on Friday, the 19th.

Interesting. I hadn't noticed before that Make Haste not only added a second Delegate item via Aloyzo, but also introduced Wild Run on a Human Skill. Hm. $:^ ,

 

Yep, that's my item too. ;-)

Oh, that early? Thought we'd have the rest of the month. I guess I'll try to submit something tomorrow.

 

I try to leave these contests open for 2 weeks; my plan is to close it tomorrow yeah. Hurry

 

I have closed the contest! Jon and I will work to add the winning item to the game in short order

 

Thanks everyone for your submissions! We had a lot of really great entries this time. Special shout-out to Scarponi's puntastic-as-usual entry, but really most of you hit the design challenge on the head. With a lot of great options to pick from, I ended up going with Resolution of Survival, introducing our first double-Retreat item into the game. I challenge you all to find a copy and see what you can build with it!

Congratulations to @Maniafig!

Winning item:​

Resolution of Survival
Human Skill (Level 16, Rare, )
Retreat, Retreat, Escaping Run

I will try to open AA 22 within the next day or two.

 

AA 22 is open! http://forums.cardhunter.com/threads/aloyzos-arsenal-22-batfordruary.11159/

 

Wow, next day or two went by pretty fast.

 

"Within" — ;D

 

Now that the winner has been officially revealed in this thread, I've grabbed several quotes from the submission discussion thread. Not all, but I'd say these are the meat of it. O, Mr. Flaxative the Generous, brace yourself. (Lol.)

 

If the item presents problems we can adjust it.

Keep us updated in the feedback/suggestions forum!

 

~adjusts it to have three different cards, level, token cost, rarity, name, racial slot, ...~

I kid! I kid! lol
Thanks for the official statement. $:^ ]

And yes, @Scarponi's item was truly excellent in the puntastic department, lol.

 

What's the canonical relationship between Batford and Stafford? I remember reading it somewhere but can't find it on the wiki...

 

I think it's only mentioned in MM modules, so questionable canonicity.
