JOYCE

Companion. Human. If JOYCE is refreshed in the draw step, your hand size is increased by 2

Entropy

You stole a toothbrush - 1S, 2C action
If your character is at an indoor or town location, you may swap an item attached to any character at that location to your character. If the item is swapped to Dawn, you may swap the item from an adjacent location.
BUFFY: Yeah, but you stole a toothbrush. As far as rebellious teenagers go, you're kinda square.

Demonic Visage - skill
Anya or Anyaka only. If this character has the human trait, replace it with the demon trait. If you placed any events into a talent stack, in the challenge/fight discard step to take 1 event back into hand from the talent stack
ANYA: And I wish you were never born!

Why won't you sleep with me again? - evil challenge
8BK, 10W, 4S, 10C, 5D
When you play this challenge, choose 2 companions and/or minions. While this challenge is in play, the 2 named characters may not attempt a challenge together.

Sarcastic retort - action

[VisionaryLiz]

My cards for the week:

Orbs of Nezzla'khan
Item
This character gains +3 Butt-Kicking. This character does not fatigue to start fights or stunt-double. If this character is defeated in a fight, this item must be discarded, but the losing character is not discarded. Limit 1 per deck.
2W required
"Warren's gone all Mighty Mouse. Emphasis on the might."-Xander

Jet Pack
2sm 1w
You may move one of your characters who just lost a fight to any other location in play instead of discarding that character. Any other card effects that are used during the fight still occur as normal. Send to the Crypt after use.
fight/Resolve
"Oh, come on."-Buffy

Bizarro Buffy defeatst someone in a fight, they had Computer Threat played on them and Demon Theory was also played. The opponent plays Jet Pack to save the character from being defeated, but you would still gain 3 DP (one for winning, one for DT, and one for CT) they lose a DP (one for CT) and they would have to discard three cards (one of each DP Bizarro Buffy earned during the fight, as per her character text).

Backyard Attack
Evil Challenge
6sm 6w 2DP
When this challenge is defeated, select one of your opponents characters in play. If that character is a supporting character, send her to the crypt. If that character is a main character, send her to the discard pile.

Meeting for Coffee
Good Challenge
4sm 4w 4ch 2DP
You may only have two characters attempting this challenge. If both characters are female, this challenge is worth 1 extra Destiny Point.

Think Tara and Willow at the Espresso Pump or Buffy and Dawn at the Sunnydale Promenade place.

Evil Communion
Event
Plays on two non-Human Heroes or Companions (except Angel). Until the end of the next turn, the chosen characters are considered to be Villains or Minions and may not attempt challenges with other Heroes and Companions.
"Spike hates Xander. Maybe I could get him to wish..."-Anya

You could choose Whistler and Spike. Whistler becomes a Minion, since he is a Companion and Spike could become a Villain. It could be just the thing to take someones M'Fashinik, or to attempt an evil challenge. Come to the Dark Side, a MoTB Angel, or the action card Black Hat can expand this team further. I excluded Angel from this card because of the fact he has a soul (Spike did not at this time) and he does not hate any of the Scoobies, but if the judges wish to, they can remove the (except Angel) part from this card.

(1) Anya Companion
1bk 1sm 2w 0ch
Demon. Spellcraft. Anya and Xander may not attempt challenges together.
Once per turn, whenever an opponent plays an Action card during the Resource Step with a Weirdness icon, you may draw one card.

(1) Glarghk Minion
2bk 0sm 1w 0ch
Demon. When Glarghk wins a fight, you may search your Resource Deck for an Event card and place it in your hand.

This is the demon that attacked Buffy in Normal Again. I'd say poisoning Buffy which resulted in her almost killing her friends a major change in the 'game' hence the card power.

Sunnydale Promenade
Location
Moving to or from this location to a Town Location does not count as a move. Any challenges defeated here during the day are worth one extra Destiny Point.
Town-Unique

Problems with Strong Women
Skill
Attach to any Human male character. When this character fights a female character, he gains +2 Butt-Kicking and does not fatigue if he wins the fight. Any character card powers or attached card powers (except talent boosts) are negated during the fight/resolve stage. Only 1 Problems with Strong Women may be attached at a time.
"I was wondering when Super Bitch would show up."-Warren

This would negate the card power of the Willow that lets her add her weirdness to her butt-kicking during the fight/resolve stage or AC Cordelia's ability to choose the resolving talent of the fight to Charm, or cards like The Look, Mack Ing, or Wisdom. This would not stop talent changers of course.

See ya next week for the end of Season Six.

[WolfmanDan]

Normal Again

Normal Again - Event
On the turn this event is played all supporting characters are fatigued and may not refresh for the remainder of this turn. All supporting characters entering play enter fatigued. If a main character defeats a challenge this turn that player gains +1 Destiny during the end step.

Anyanka - Lvl 1
1 BK/2 SM/2 WE/2 CH

(The move ability can be done during any step. If she has already moved she cannot do it again via her card power or normally in the movement step. The Anyanka essence referred to is the wish starter one.)

Hidden Camera - Item
Once during the Draw step you may look at an opponents hand. During the Draw step you may send this Item to the crypt to make that opponent discard her hand and redraw the same number of cards.
"Is that the camera in the Magic Box?" - Warren
<pic> the camera in the skull

Near Miss - Action 1 BK/2 WE
Discard one of the items your opponent's character has attached that boosts the current resolving talent in this fight. Send to the crypt after use.

This week’s winners are:

Good Character: Anya, L1 (visionary liz)
Evil Character: Les’lo Demon (WolfmanDan)
Action: Jet Pack (visionary liz) (see below)
Good Challenge: Commiserating Over Drink (darkfaith)
Evil Challenge: Wanting the Wish (cmo) (see below)
Event: Evil Communion (visionary liz) (see below)
Item: Hidden Camera (WolfmanDan)
Location: Sunnydale Promenade (visionary liz)
Skill: Demonic Visage (cmo) (see below)

Wild Cards: Natural Death (darkfaith); Normal Again (WolfmanDan); Wild River Amusement Park (WolfmanDan) (see below)

Here are the reworded versions of the cards above:

Demonic Visage
Skill
Anya or Anyanka only. If this character has the Human trait, remove that trait and this character gains the Demon trait. During the Fight-Challenge/Discard stage, if you placed any events into a talent stack, send this card to the Crypt to take one of the events in your talent stack back into your hand.

Just cleared up some of the wording and made it clear what you needed to do with this card in order to trigger the game text to pull one of the events out of the talent stack and back into your hand.

Evil Communion
Event
Choose two non-Human Heroes or Companions currently in play. Until the end of the next turn, the chosen characters are considered to be Villains or Minions and may not attempt challenges with other Heroes and Companions.

Altered the wording slightly and removed the restriction against choosing Angel with the event. Although Angel had his soul and was, seemingly therefore, harder to corrupt, he did have his brushes with the dark side (as in Season 2 of “Angel”). Therefore, we did not believe he had to be immune to this event.

Jet Pack
Action
You may move one of our characters who loses this fight to any other location in play instead of discarding that character. Any other card effects that are used during the fight still occur as normal. Send to the Crypt after use.
Fight/Resolve
2SM/1WE

Cleared up some of the wording to make sure the intent of the card was clear.

Wanting the Wish
Evil Challenge
10WE/3CH
2 DP
When you complete this challenge, you may put either Wish Granted or Power of the Wish challenge into play at this location from your challenge deck, or move one of the chosen challenges in play to this location from any other location in play. Anya or Anyanka does not fatigue when she defeats this challenge.

Again, just a case where we cleaned up some of the wording. Even though it is an evil challenge, we kept the reference to Anya in case she had a way of defeating the evil challenge (like Spellcasting Dolls).

Wild River Amusement Park
Location
Outdoor, Unique
You must have a character with an item attached at this location to defeat challenges here. Any player defeating a challenge at this location may take an item placed into a talent stack and attach it to any of his participating characters.

Cleared up some of the wording to allow the intent of the card to be clear.


See you all next week for the final contest of season six! Have fun!

[WolfmanDan]

Les'lo Demon looks good but its the wrong one. The Les'lo was from "Seeing Red". Its the one in which Jonathan ends up wearing its skin to get through the barrier.

[metrodj]

Whoops. That's a bad one... I'll fix that ASAP.

[Buffy&Riley]

Normal Again- does this mean if you were already fatigued then your group can stil refresh?

[WolfmanDan]

Even if the first part of the sentence doesn't apply it still says that supporting characters may not be refreshed.

I can see how it can be confusing it all depends on how you read it. I used the word "and" as a differentator rather than a connective.

Thats the English language for you.

[WolfmanDan]

I just reviewed the card and noticed that the wording does not match up. The second sentence should be changed to say that supporting characters cannot refresh on the same turn.

The purpose of the card is to have your main character face challenges alone.

[metrodj]

Two in one week....I'll have both of these fixed this weekend. Sorry.
