That's definitely different than any existing team ... be curious to see how it does.

forgotten to comment on your other pixel-characters :)
I was suprised to see pixels here (tough at times, I really hate them, have worked as a pixel artist for too many years >_< )
they are really nice :) especially loved the sarcos ones.

about the theme.. I was dissapointed when I saw the list only included 2 voodoo puppets :( (I tought I was able to finally use my midnor miniatures somewhere :p)

just throwing in ideas :
on the witch doctors, I think its cooler if the whole team is ran by a puppeteer coach <-- witch doctor.
so the zombies, less gothic horror zombie, and more voodoo zombie.
the rasta warriors being strange *in trance* guys (preferably with masks :p)
like :

and
Guilty gears faust character (more the idea, the poses and the way his body is built, skinny and stelty... like a doll almost :))
and the witchdoctors replaced by guys with big-ass masks :)

just some ideas :)

pat · Thanks

thanks illustranger

yes my idea is to have a pupeteer coach

Why not 2+ Puppets...??
yes, the RastaWarriors (perhaps another name) are trance black guys, my first idea is guy with Skull Mask but why not another mask???
Why not Faust poses?? i think it's good
Witchdoktor=mudman type

Yes it's my inspiration...

Voodoo Zombie (perhaps Zomdoo) are special zombies, they are, for me, prisoners of witchdoktor who make on these some tribal rituals & they eat some mixtures (mushroom drugs, poisons...), the brain dead, no pain, no sensation, the corpse is infected & nibbled by poisons & drugs i have a preview :

Sorry for my english

In terms of skilling up and general composition ... I think I'd like this roster better if you went to 0-3 for the bigger guys and 0-4 on the Puppets.

Little Guys work best when together due to the skill Swarm which I think is a really good skill in the game that the Little Guys can get. But Swarm only works on Might 2 or less players. Currently any team with Little Guys has at least 3 Might 2 or less players. This one has 2 and so you are really hamstringing the Little Guy abilities.

Plus it would be a lot easier to create the puppets than the living servants ... so I think this move would make sense.

Problem is folks are SSSSSSoOOOOOOOOOO used to B.B.'s rule of no 0-3 or 0-5 allowances on a roster that they don't think about using them here. It actually mentally hurt for me to break that when doing Elfball as I needed to do that to make the rosters different.

but do you have a solution to make a well balanced roster with Voodoo's tribes...because i think that this roster is NEW in ambience (Undeads with Humans doesn't exist in B.B.!!!)
No thralling, the Voodoo puppets live alone & are sadistic living dolls not animated...

funny, I actually expect puppets to be much more durable than humans :) especially voodoo puppets. (or any stitched up demonic puppet.)

when I see it *living* (not necessary playing elfball) I see puppets as swarming humans, hardly doing any damage to a human do to their weakness but when they get thrown and kicked aside.. they hardly sustain any damage too, and slowly more and more swarm the human who eventually has to give in.(likely not wounded, but pinned nevertheless.)
they also have a maniacal laughter in my mind... but thats of no importance here ;)

also to pat, some ideas to consider naming and theming (more ideas than critisicm really, so no need to feel it as attacking :D.)
1.I think festering/disease/rot etc. themes for zombies or anything does not really fit a voodoo theme, even irl its mostly a western addition, but thematically I think it fits the gothic horror zombies more.
basically I see fantasy voodoo zombies as an extension to the puppet theme, were the puppets are puppet moving and acting as if human, I see voodoo zombies as the opposite, humans moving and acting as if they are puppets. (including probably a more leathery skin, stitches, and empty possesed eyes.)

2.there are considerations to take into account with both rasta and vudu culture, not in the last place that these are 2 different things (rasta is christian for starters, believing in the biblical god but calling him Jah, vudu is much more pagan in nature.) and that the one doesnt really like to be associated with the other perse. but neither like to be associated with voodoo wich technically is a fantasy variant of vudu. (for starters, the puppets with the pins are not for cursing, but for healing, in an accupuncture way, people go to witchdoctors to cure disseases actually :))
offcourse you will hardly offend either as the chances are slim anyone here is part of either *religion* it is more of an informational purpose.

3.names coming from the mythology side of things wich can be usefull as names for teamplayers :
witchdoktor -> Loa - the equivalent of spirit beings (some are called Barons, but I only know Baron samedi and baron la croix, dont know if there are other barons.)
rastawarrior -> Bokor - basically normal humans (comparable to priests & monks I suppose.) who practice the rites often with dancing etc. so playing elfball is probably not far from their normal activities :)

just some toughts :)

From what little I managed to glean when I lived in Haiti for a summer I'd have to confirm Illustartor's points. However, it's a fantasy game that only uses the real world as a frame work. When it comes to vudu/voodoo there's plenty of area to move around. My thoughts would be to stay to the fantsy parts that the vudu people are used to dealing with. Get too real and people start having a problem with the errors.

great culture illustranger

with"The Voodoo's Tribes" i want just to make a new roster with some fun positions...
For Roster i'm not a mathematician & i don't know the good stats for each...
i've posted the icons on Elfball's game with the Vikhtoras!!!
Positions for me is :
Witchdoktor, Voodoo puppet, Zomdoo (perhaps, it's the zombie) & DoomDoom Warrior (

) for the warrior but it's not definitive action:

some propositions for roster & names are good...

Pat

Look the icons & tell me if is Good...

I mentioned this in the Vassal thread, but I understand if people are stopping to wade into that 22 page monstrosity

This team has been added in the form that Galak has suggested.
