And if I never made ya privy, Oct '96 was the month they stuck 2 random promos in 10-odd different issues, all of which tied into the ongoing Onslaught crossover.

Some of the possible pulls are much, much rarer, I think I've only pulled one Character, Post, of the four possible (Dark Beast, Holocaust, and Onslaught himself being the other three).

Luckily, most of the issues I've tracked down sit around a buck or so, and it's always fun to see that telltale bulge in the polybag when ya pull it from the box (NOT to be NSFW).

Here were my pulls from the Oct '96 issues! I DID in fact pull a negate (but damn, what was Marvel thinking when they named that character?)

Not a bad haul overall!

Crazy week for an mf'er who loves OP. Big haul from the underground Brazilian comic sensation The Few and Cursed, including their first foray into playable cardboard consumables. A recent kickstarter got players two beautiful, foil mission sets detailing some key points in the series, as well as a full Level 7 Power Card suite.

I'm glad to have hard copies of this series in my possession, including the beautiful hardcover collection of the series' first arc.

Also hitting the RDHQ mailbox was the long delayed GotG custom set from the Atlanta Federation, with an unexpected, but appreciated foil Gamora Character card.

And last, but not least, a blast from the game's past: ten more marvel back issues straight from Oct '96. Let's hope I pull some nasty negates and an Onslaught or two.

Throughout time and space, all things merge in OP!

Last piece for now, this one by yours truly!

It was a lot of fun to sit down and do this. I think we don't allow ourselves enough time for unregulated, unmitigated, unqualified fun, and that's kinda the point of the "group activities" portion of the RDD. Just sit down and go for it man! A lot more of life would feel a whole lot more livable if folks were given that chance (and if they took it once they got it!)

I hope you dig these! Reach out if you wanna contribute something and I'll send ya a clean scan for just that purpose!

And another fun one from my dude @thecisco, a true creative dynamo and a constant inspiration when it comes to pushing the OP customs world in new directions both aesthetic and mechanical!

Hey y'all! Hope all is well!

Been a minute (ain't it always), but I wanted to show off some cool submissions we got from the first ever Red Diamond Dispatch group activity.

I had asked for folks to submit their "Sifl & Olly" recolorings (original art by my lovely and talented friend Alyssa Paynick!), and I dug what I got!

Here's a couple from the father & son duo, Chris and Luke Johansen! OP has a rich history of being passed down from one generation to the next (just look at LRG's Season 0 champ Andrew Taylor, whose father was active during the game's original run and still gets at it now), so I'm glad I could get these two coloring together!

The second issue of The Red Diamond Dispatch is now available.

I'm really proud of this one. It feels like I expanded the scope and really dug into what I love about the OP customs environment.

This one is 10pgs full of opinions, customs, design theory, decklists, and resources. If you're interested in OverPower, or just a fan of weirdos expressing their love for extremely niche interests, hit me up here or via [email protected] and let's get some out your way!

And here's the rest of 'em!

As we reveal more of this set, I think some really unique strategies will start popping up within the Hero and Villain camps. We had a definite vision in mind and tried to lean a little less on what already existed! My partner had a huge hand in the development of the mechanics for every character (it's her favorite series of all time, after all) and I'm stoked to make these a reality alongside her!

Hey y'all! Hope everyone's been doing well!

Been a minute since I posted anything, and realized I never dropped the Spike kit from out long delayed "the Chosen One" set.

We designed him with his knack for taking down Slayers in mind, hunting down the opponent's most powerful (and heroic!) Characters until there's no one left standing.

I think I'm proud of the layouts, but I've gone back and forth on them so much that I might just need to stop looking at them!

Tell me whatcha think, three more below.
