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.

Alright guys I know its 2 weeks into March, but here were my final two creations for #funaday2026: Trainer Red and Trainer Blue.

They're meant to synergize with the Pokémon sets created by the Ace Trainer himself, Drsnackfood, who was one of the first customs fools to break rank and start injecting the game with worlds from outside the comics sphere.

Even though he's on a bit of a hiatus, his sets have been some of my favorite, rooted in balanced, meat and potatoes OP mechanics. Consider these my attempt at paying homage to these wonderful ideas, as well as building on their sturdy foundations.

I wanted to give them a real "Trainer" feel, allowing them to interact with their front line of mons by way of Teamworks and Double Shots (the latter of which are seldom used) and more of that flavor'll get savored as I develop their Special kits.

It's worth nothing that Golduck and Poliwhirl don't currently exist in any capacity, so I'm either gonna have to bring the snackster outta self imposed exile, or make em myself! So while Fun-A-Day may officially be done for the year, there's no reason for me stop the festivities when we've still gotta catch 'em all.

#funaday2026 Day 26 - friends over, out to shows, eating food, I've done it all, but I promise this one was actually done on Feb 26, 2026!

The only Ultimates associate missing is the one time Blue Marvel archvillain, the Anti-Man, and here he is as the Triskelion's aspect (like a Special, but played directly by the Homebase, and thus less susceptible to certain defenses).

It's a bit of a doozy, offering a ton of utility to offset the Location's stern IA. Really stoked on the layout of this one (I really need to make my own card game, stat!)

#funaday2026 Day 24 - A more recent complaint I've had regarding the customs world is how unfun it is for nothing to ever land. Pure avoids, team wide defenses, and Negates have proliferated throughout the landscape and it just feels like nothing happens for whole games. LRG has really succeeded here, taking Negates' potential into account when calculating a Character's Threat Level and nerfing Avoids across the board.

When I started to think about what the Bride should do, I knew that I wanted her Specials to synergize with her Inherent Ability and provide some heavy pressure, but I think it would be too easy to just give her answers for absolutely everything, contributing to the power creep customs often lurches towards. (I'm looking at you, post-'99 Batman!)

So, here's the start to the Bride's revenge tour. A friend in the community has assures me it doesn't feel bad, but only proper testing will tell! I think "Walk Away" is limited enough that it won't warrant an OPD designation, while still being useful to the person running ol' Bea.

More catch up imminent.

Also, just for fun, I whipped up half sized versions of these as well. Here's a mockup, but I'll post physical examples once I get the chance in the next week or so.
