Article 3 now has more views than article 2, despite it not being posted yet. Awesome.

Bryon, I went back and read through the articles, cool stuff. Thanks for reposting those!

The Schaef · « **Reply #27 on:** June 16, 2009, 07:50:48 PM »

It's literally a fount of information now! I love it!

TIm, you need to run to Rob's house and bring him Peanut M&M's!

I live an hour away from Cactus so I could probably do it? (But I don't wanna.)

Bryon · « **Reply #30 on:** June 17, 2009, 02:30:12 PM »

Update: It turns out I sent Rob a file his computer can't read. I should have known better, since I did that a couple articles ago and had to change format and resend.

Anyway, Rob now has the correct file, but he's running a local tournament today and won't be able to post it until either late today, or more likely, tomorrow.

In the meantime, how about another hint:

it is an OT evil fortress. (like you couldn't have guessed)

OK, one more hint:

it's shiny!

TimMierz · « **Reply #31 on:** June 17, 2009, 02:35:59 PM »

Can the fortress hold characters? I only ask because I want to know how much I can annoy opponents by saying that "I've got friends in High Places."

If you can give me some details about this occurrence (I suspect I know the problem but it's not explicitly stated here), I might be able to set Rob up so that he is able to open your files without issue.

I saved it in the newest version of word (.docx)

He can open it if I save it as a Word 97-03 doc (.doc)

I had a feeling that's what happened... Thats pretty annoying how the default for the new Word doesnt work with earlier versions...

That reminds me I need to buy Microsoft Word...

I agree with Bryon, TGT has met its match, sadly, No one who counts is gonna use it, despite its epicness.

Nicely thought out Evil Fortress. Down n' Dirty is what High Places seems to be about. This release is gonna be fun.

Godspeed,
Mike

Some questions:

Joseph's Brothers' Scheme:
Select two human Heroes in play to fight each other. The loser is placed in holder's Land of Bondage and is treated as a Lost Soul.

1) Can you play Joseph's Brothers' Scheme outside of battle with High Places?
2) If yes to 1), is the hero captured from battle or territory?

Seemingly Insignificant:
Reveal one card at random from opponent’s hand, and place on top of owner’s draw pile. If no Lost Soul is rescued this turn, discard the top two cards of opponent’s draw pile.

1) If Seemingly Insignificant is played in the discard phase and no LS was rescued during battle (or earlier in the turn), does the second sentence work?

Bryon · « **Reply #44 on:** June 17, 2009, 04:49:08 PM »

JBS: no. It says "placed" not "place." At least, that is how I ruled it in my playtest group.

Seemingly Insignificant: yes. It happened in play testing.

However, it was decided that playing SI before the rescue attempt was better for two reasons: (1) it gave the blocker one fewer card to use, and (2) if you hit a card that they really don't want to lose, they are more likely to let you rescue the lost soul that turn.

So Holy of Holies does not affect Kings Strong Angel?

redemptioncousin · « **Reply #46 on:** June 17, 2009, 05:04:30 PM »

I'm assuming you need an evil character of matching brigade in territory in order to use this... I hope...

RedemptionAggie · « **Reply #47 on:** June 17, 2009, 05:08:54 PM »

I Am Truth:
Good enhancements with "ignore" in the special ability cannot be negated by evil cards.

I don't play White, but I thought the SA applied to variations on "ignore" as well. There are only 9 that say "ignore" as opposed to some variation, so that would take most of the teeth out of I Am Truth.

Schaef - all versions of HoH are errata'ed to play like the Priests version, so they negate SA types, not words (at least in the current online REG).

The Schaef · « **Reply #48 on:** June 17, 2009, 05:13:26 PM »

Okay, thank you. That had escaped my attention.

Yes. Brigade match is always required (as it is on other abilities that do similar things), unless you get the "regardless of brigade" exception.

Isildur · « **Reply #49 on:** June 17, 2009, 05:44:36 PM »

Too bad you guys had to add the discard after capture

Hehehe playtesting it with out that sentance in type 2 was fun
