Rumbler's League Fall 2015 - Discussion Thread

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

I wouldn't be opposed to purging the lists, making them somewhat more manageable. Things without links or things never purchased or hard to find feats for could be let go if it was agreed upon.

[Tami]

There is a risk to that. If we get new players, they may have creative uses for some things others haven't used. Also, I'd want to keep a wide choice available, otherwise the matches can get repetitive and boring.

So....do we go with slash and burn and then rebuild from scratch? Or just list those Drafts/Items that should be removed? Or make a list of what to keep and get rid of everything else?

Oh, there are plenty of items to make it not boring, trust me.

I wouldn't burn it all down and start over. But I would suggest making a list of things that don't have links first, or at least don't have easy ways of gauging feats.


As an example, I added two (Amazonian armor and an Amazonian weapon) a ways back from the Orphans of Chaos series. Other than WyldCard, only I knew anything about them but lacked the books on hand to come up with feats. Both could be gotten rid of and we'd be the better for it.

Another example would be the Coin of Zeus. That thing has been in the League since, I'm almost 100% sure, the first one.


It's never been purchased.

We could do it this way. Everyone who wants to help redo the Wiki can submit Four Lists.

1. Top 25 -50 Characters to Keep
2. 25 - 50 Characters to get rid of
3. Top 25 - 50 Items to Keep
4. 25 - 50 items to get rid of

After enough lists have been submitted, I can compile them and rank them.

Sounds like a good plan.

The Frog Exaggerator has been on there longer than me, and I can't even conceive of a way to use it and make it worth 1 point.

That said, I'm leery of widespread cutting because, as I may have said before, I don't read that many comics... And other people don't watch the same cartoons I rely on for my builds. So "Something for everyone" should be the watchword.

I tend to agree. I woudl not recommend doing a complete wipe of the lists. But, we can get a consensus of those items/characters that are least desirable/useful.

So here's a question I've been pondering. What would you price a guy who's power is he can do anything, or change anything provided it fit his Paradigm? His Paradigm was that he adds a silent e to the end of words to change them.

For example, two of the most relevant for the league feats is he turned a man into a mane (with lion attached), and turned a twin into twine (in giant ball form). He also made a hug huge, showing he can do adjectives and such as well.

So if he could do that kind of thing for any word he could add a silent e to, what would you rate him as? He showed he could handle proper nouns too. Sam stayed just the Same.

He'd be AnnoyEng.

We d need a full account of feats.

We d need a full account of feats.

An idea of how fast he can start this stuff, how many he can affect at once, if it's magic/ki/science/whatever based, etc would be helpful too.

But it does make me wonder if the Scribblenaut might be useful in a team based on that Renagade for Life vid I saw. "Cure the Cat, God!"

Magic, with a wave of a wand, and one word at a time.


Although the thing described by that word could be as big as he wanted. He turned a dam into a Dame and she was like half again as tall as the dam used to be and had one of those hoop dresses that was as wide as the dam.

Well I heard it as a song, but apparently Tom Leher wrote it for the Electric Company. Silent E.

That brings back memories. Silent E is one of those that can be both very powerful and very limited. Silent E has no speed feats, no defenses, is never seen in combat. But, as a support type to a team that already has most of what it needs, it can be useful. Probably wouldn't price Silent E at any more than a 5 or a 6.

Not ready to put up another Discussion and Sign Up Thread, yet. Consider this a Preliminary question. Which would be better? A Summer League [May-August]? Or wait until next Fall [Sept-Dec]?
