Sean, you gotta be more judicious with your line-breaks; making me click on the plain text button just so I can read a damn card, geez.

That said, this looks like a good start that could use some finesse. Gives strong vibes of "MYTHIC = LOTS OF ABILITIES, RIGHT?"

Hey, talk to Alex about the line breaks. I asked him about a soft return option – or even some leading controls – months ago. Sadly, this is not an Adobe typesetting application. (grin)

Yeah, it's a lot of stuff. Timmy's wet dream. I think with the right art, it would be a no-brained as far as the ability mash goes. This is the gear that takes you from "cool" to "A-List Celebrity". The masses adore you, you're untouchable, and you can get away with anything. Plus, every time you go out, the paparazzi shows up to follow you everywhere and take pictures.

Or, basically, top-down rock star.

First crack though, so if it needs adjustments, we'll look at that.

I still maintain people should be using one line break rather than two. And I'd love it if my CSS styling on the <br> tag actually worked in more than a smattering of browsers so that single line breaks gave some paragraph spacing, but you can blame the browser makers or the W3C for that.

I have previously tried to make the card text a <p> tag, which would become more than one </p><p> tag if linebreaks were used; that'd work around the problem nicely. I suppose I should have another look at that.

But in the meantime, use one linebreak rather than two, unless you want your card to look like this. If you do make your card look like this then it's your own fault :P

dropped Hexproof. I’ve already got several other hexproof cards, and the more I look at this one, it just doesn’t need it. The trample, boost, and Thopter pooping all tie together pretty logically, so that ought to be enough.

That's pretty something. Are the tokens supposed to be permanent? I guess they could be, like Hero of Bladehold, especially since they can't attack (on their own) that first turn. Still, that makes it ratchet up even faster.

Yes, the tokens are indeed permanent. It also gives you something to snap the Charismaphone onto should your first outspoken celebrity get taken down a notch. Because the rolling stone of mass media gathers a crap-ton of moss.

I'm rather amused by the prospect of a series of hovercams, each being given the microphone and becoming a rock star themselves, briefly, until they get shot down by the defending dragon - but not before spawning yet more hovercams to adore them...
