Thank you so much! Super excited to play Tsukiko especially in person.

Oh, I guess I don't have a link to that in the mod description. Whoops! You can find print-ready images for the cards here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17xed2k59lvneLV35zU4lhsVsxcw7LwkO?usp=drive_link

They're sized for PrinterStudio / BoardGamesMaker, which are websites that do on-demand card printing. I've had cards printed from both sites and they're both great.

Do you have composite art of the cards? I'd love to print a set for in person play.

Thank you! The old-timey cartoon cards were a very silly idea that I took further than I intended, but I'm glad I did because I'm really happy with Ol' Inkwell Town.

Oh, not to mention the variant swap card from the environment. Genius.

That.... Inky 1950's cartoon environment what!!! LOL, The table of pies made my day. Thank you.

You're free to have your own opinions, however the decks on this mod will not change aside from new variants being added or potentially wording fixes. If you're interested in providing feedback on decks that ARE going to change, I have a beta mod for that.

Mindwanderer's digital stats showed Escarlata at exactly the power level I was aiming for (on par with Chrono-Ranger) and Gold Dragon significantly LESS powerful than what I was aiming for (on par with Expatriette). Those stats are the accumulation of thousands of games and are the closest thing we have to an objective measure of a deck's power level.

Needs improvement especially with Gold Dragon and Escarlata. They are waaaaaay too powerful.

Dragon King's Roar IS only supposed to stun enemies during Gold Dragon's turn. It stops retaliation damage, damage that triggers at the end of Gold Dragon's turn, and potentially on-destruction effects. It's a pretty niche effect, but that's why it also deals damage.

Is Dragon King's Roar (non-hero targets cannot deal damage this turn) intended to only work for the duration of Gold Dragon's turn, as opposed to working until the start of the next turn? I guess the latter would be a problem because it could make all the heroes completely invincible for the rest of the game, but the former doesn't do much at all. Is the idea that it protects against feedback damage during the sonic attack?

Greedy Ghoulish Gargoyles doesn't reduce damage BY 1, it reduces damage TO 1. No matter how much damage you throw its way, it only ever takes 1 damage. (Unless you're using irreducible damage!)

Looks like I did miss the difficulty box, good catch.

"Greedy Ghoulish Gargoyles" seem to be reducing dmg by 2 rather than 1

Ol'Inkwell Town is missing its difficulty rating box in the enviroment selection.

Ah, isolated hero effects... thanks for the report, office_ninja! This is fixed now.

And thank you Kaldrak!

When Escarlata: Firedancer uses her innate power to have another hero play one of the one-shots from her trash, and she has Menagerie's Security Sphere underneath her, rather than the power just failing, the game just freezes and nothing else can occur.

I finally got around to trying this mod recently and I would just like to say that your heroes are a lot of fun! They don't feel super overpowered or broken, but they also don't feel too weak either. And most importantly, they are very entertaining to use. I think my favorite is Tsukiko. I love her puns and deck synergy.

I have plenty of plans for new Spooky Ghostwriter decks! It's just that making a deck (particularly the art) is a really slow process for me.

Glad to hear Silhouette is a hit!

It's nice to see new decks are still being added to the Mod. For some reason I thought it was only the first four.
Anyways, I think Silhouette may be my favorite Spooky Ghostwriter deck. It's fun balancing between self-damage and healing. It depends a bit on having plenty of Ongoings in play, but has enough tools to get them in play and I never felt like I was "just setting up".

No worries. Your latest update seems to have fixed the issue. Cheers.

Sorry about that "update available" issue. I'll be updating the mod later today with some QOL fixes for Silhouette, hopefully that will solve that problem too.

For some reason whenever I launch the game it says there's an update available for this mod despite already having downloaded the latest version with Silhouette. Not sure if it's just a problem on my end or if there is some versioning/config file discrepancy or if others are having the same issue. Anyways, played a few games with Silhouette and she is pretty awesome. Well done!

Zywen! Silhouette is finally here and I am super excited to play her in Digital going forward. :)

I really love these heroes

Thank you very much for creating and sharing this mod. The characters are all very fun to play and the Alesia Circus nails the theme perfectly. Very clever having the back of the cards be the circus tickets. Hard to pick a favorite character of the bunch, maybe Gold Dragon, but all three are really well done.

All are great, being in the top tier of characters of their types. There are "better" characters that do what they do either better or more efficiently, but no one does it more interestingly. I love them and use them nearly every game they are so fun to play, and for that you have my appriciation!

Your balance is fine. You have to remember that Sentinels itself isn't incredibly well balanced; Stuntman, Visionary, Legacy all break villains harder than your characters ever will or could. Escalarta is a very strong damage dealer, but she's far from the strongest on the roster. If you really wanted to bring down the house with a single hero, you would swap that slot out with Stuntman, Idealist, Ra, or Tempest.

Tsukiko though? She's the shining star of this mod. Her deck is one of the more unique custom decks available and offers some very strong, not too easy to pull off utility and support. Her variants are similarly rad as hell and being able to swap her entire team's hero variants on the fly can lead to some really interesting scenarios and tactics.

It's not a big deal if they're stronger than the median hero. It's not like they're broken, or that they're too good to keep the game from being a challenge. Everyone who's still here has probably been playing the game for a long time. We've developed a sense of what we think fits and what combination of functions feels excessive. But that doesn't mean there's an exact right way to build decks, or even that you should err on the side of caution/restraint.

The Cauldron has decks with elaborate set-ups and combos. Spooky Ghostwriter Comics is more straightforward. Both are perfectly valid approaches, and both are fun. These are the sort of decks I would make if I could draw/code. You worked hard and should be proud of the result.

One big thing that really affects your perception of a hero's balance - your teammates. Escarlata in particular goes pretty crazy when you have consistent draw power from Team Leader Tachyon or lots of damage boosts from Legacy. Personally I think that says more about TL Tachyon and Legacy than it does about Escarlata, but maybe I did make her too easy to support.

Regardless of what anybody thinks of my heroes' balance, I hope everyone at least finds them fun. (2/2)

Thanks for your comments. I've been avoiding commenting on power levels because I didn't want to sound defensive, but it's probably worth touching on.

My goal is to make heroes that are on the strong side of the power scale. I don't want heroes that end up as "cheat codes" like Legacy or Hunted Naturalist, but my goal is that my heroes will be able to contribute even in harder games. You can take them into Advanced mode, or against Kaagra Warfang, or even Oblivaeon, and they'll put up a solid fight.

Now that Mindwanderer's statistics page supports workshop content (https://mindwanderer.net/sotm/dev/app-stats-lite.html) , I can say that my heroes are in a position I'm satisfied with. Gold Dragon has the highest win ratio on par with Chrono-Ranger, a hero that I think is fun to play without being overpowered. Tsukiko's TGIR variant is a little higher than I'd like, but the variants haven't had as many plays yet so I'm hoping things even out in time. (1/2)

Unpopular opinion, but I felt like these heroes were balanced. They build up really nicely against villains who don't destroy equipment/ongoings, and they have interesting mechanics. I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favorite, but they support each other very well. I only pit them against Ambuscade just now, but even still. The beginning was a bit of a struggle, but by the end everyone had almost full health.

The designs aren't my cup of tea and I think they're on the unbalanced side, but overall the decks are a lot of fun.

Escarlata feel powerful because she a pure damage dealer.

I enjoyed this. The art is fun and colorful, the characters are solid. I did feel they are somewhat overpowered, though, especially Escarlata who can do a lot of damage without much difficulty. Not a solid opinion until I play them a few more times.

This is great work. Each of these characters is unique and fun. I love it.
