The Joker arrives at BMG 2nd Edition


More and more news about BMG’s 2nd Edition are hitting the internet!
This time we spotlight the new Joker and his Character Card!

The character card is one of the most essential parts of the Batman Miniature Game, and in the 2nd Edition this will not change. Different versions of each character appear differely on their cards so as to mimic their background stories. You’ll easily be able to tell if you’re facing the Batman from the Arkham Knight video game or from the Animated Series!                                                                                                 For the comfort of our players, cards have been changed to a standardized 2.5” by 3.5”, a format frequently used in board games and miniature games.

In the top left is the model’s Name and Alias along with it’s faction’s background colour. On the right is a picture of the model in question with a unique serial code that’s assigned to all models.
Ranks, Affiliate and Hates (now called Rivals) have been changed to icons to make it easier and faster to decode character cards. On the right of the rank you’ll find the model’s Reputation and Funding costs for building your crew.

Just below that you’ll find weapon stats. This is where the most significant change occurred. If the weapon in question features a bull’s eye icon, the model has a ranged weapon with Rate of Fire equal to the Value close to the Icon.
You now mark your Ammo using bullet icons. The bullet icon represents Ammo, so 2 /bullet means the weapon has 2 Ammo.

Traits are shown below weapon stats, with enough spare space to write down equipment, new Traits added, and so on.

Notice that some Traits will be included inside a box; these Traits are the most important and basic traits for newcomers to play with using the Quick Start Rules. We want to make it as easy and fun as possible to join us in this exciting universe!

Finally, the remaining section shows the character’s Basic Skills. This is where you mark your Action Counters assigned to each Skills. You can use six-sided dice or any variety of counter, marker or token.

We hope you’re as excited about these awesome new character cards as we are! What do you think of them?
