Important poll on IHMN

[Silbuster]

If Philip Marlowe, Sam Spade and Lew Archer are in; I'm in.

Will the focus be very "person" heavy as in the original?

This would be a GREAT time to create vehicle/machine construction rules. With that added this could go in any direction in which players wanted to go. Don't like Lovecraftian horror? Don't play it. Want more? Create companies that fold in the mythos to their fiber.

The rule set is flexible enough to do that now really, some specific tweaking would be amazing!

As it is a couple of people here are considering splitting Pluck into Physical and Mental halves in order to make it a little more horror/mythos based.

Having started to convert plenty of gangster minis into low-level supers I would definitivley be interested 
Though I wouldn't exclude Wolverine, he's just a angry brawler with fancy knives 

Not to mention that Logan was around in the 1930's. Just not sure where in the world he was though at the time. :-)
Love the conversions Com. Can we get a better shot of the conversion of the claw hand and head? Maybe from a slight angle above?

If we were to use the IHMN core rules to create a game set in 1920's Prohibition America, with the added twist of low-level superheroes and villains

Kind of like "The Minutemen" from Watchmen?

Fantastic idea!

This goes to Craig;

did u ever considered releasing a deck of cards for IHMN, something like events, immediate targets or similar?

I know this maybe would bring the game more toward board-gaming, but was just wondering if it's an idea you discarded already or else.

Greetings.

I think this could be an interesting game if it was more superhero and super-science focused and less Pulp.

I think this could be an interesting game if it was more superhero and super-science focused and less Pulp.

So there seem to at least three versions of where this could go:

1) Horror/Cuthulluesque

2) Pulp Heroics

3) Low level superhero/super-science setting/driven

Not to be "Debbie Downer" or Cassandra but those are three distinctively different games.

One game trying to meet all three of those would be likely to be deficient in part if not the sum of all things.

Is anyone actually suggesting this?

points 1 and 3 ( and of course point 2) is where some of us here would like to see the game going,

point 2 is what most probably will come, by the writer's comments, and personally I would be happy with any of the first 2 options.

The games I've played with Cards are usually immense fun, as it adds a layer of unpredictability that is hard to create otherwise.

What would of course be nice is if the ideas and rules for using cards were to be made available as a free download, so that the players could create their own cards reflecting their own companies and ideas.

I admit it's a cheeky request, but it would add to the feeling that IHMN is a great game for new people because the figure count is so low, and rules are fairly cheap in comparison to the current range of glossy blockbuster rule sets (FoW, BGN, Bolt Action etc).

IHMN is what made me buy and paint my first miniatures, what made me discover other Osprey publications, (also new perspectives games like DBA-Impetus-Chaos in Carpathia-Chaos in Cairo-Pulp flavoured games and many more), and all in such short time!!!

I really really like yr game, you can count by far on another loyal customer!! Thanks Craig&Charles!

Cards driving the scenario plot with more twists and chaos would be an improvement to an already solid game. Cards would get my attention. Creative-types like myself would be insistent in making our own custom cards, but I sure there is a reasonable way to monetize if necessary.
