Trying to find the covers on the website is an absolute nightmare.

I know there is the letters page and such but is there any game updates?

The revolution has arrived.

After a lot of designing, rewriting, balancing, and way too many explosions, I'm finally sharing my fan-made Red Menace villain team for Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition!

Red Menace is a custom team villain deck built around five Soviet supervillains working together to overwhelm the heroes through escalating damage, propaganda, destruction, and increasingly catastrophic attacks.

☭ THE RED MENACE

The team consists of:

• Mother Russia — the ideological heart of the group.
• Volk — the unstoppable revolutionary beast.
• Sickle — the relentless executioner.
• Molotov — fire, destruction, and revolutionary fury.
• Tsar Bomb — the ultimate weapon.

Each villain has their own identity and mechanics, but the deck is designed so that they work together as a single machine.

The longer the Red Menace survives, the more dangerous the situation becomes.

And if Tsar Bomb gets enough time to prepare...

things get very, very bad.

🎴 WHAT'S INCLUDED

I've made the complete playable set, including:

• 5 Villain Character cards
• Villain deck cards
• 10 propaganda cards (side deck)
• Event card
• Critical Event card
• All necessary rules and effects to play the team

I've also tried to make the cards follow the visual language and mechanical structure of Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition, while giving the Red Menace its own identity.

⚙️ HOW TO PLAY

Choose the Red Menace as your villain.

Set up the villain deck according to the instructions on the Villain Character cards and play it using the normal Definitive Edition villain rules.

The Red Menace is intended to be played against a normal team of heroes.

The deck is deliberately designed around team interactions, so expect the villain turn to become progressively more dangerous as the different members of the Red Menace begin triggering each other's effects.

There are also Propaganda cards and special team mechanics that allow the villains to keep pushing the revolution forward.

💥 THE IDEA

I wanted this to feel less like fighting five separate villains and more like fighting a single coordinated supervillain organization.

Sickle cuts down the weakest heroes.

Molotov turns the battlefield into an inferno.

Volk builds toward devastation.

Mother Russia keeps the machine moving.

And Tsar Bomb...

Well.

Tsar Bomb is Tsar Bomb.

🧪 PLAYTESTING

This is a fan-made, non-commercial project and is still open to playtesting.

I'd love to hear:

• Is the deck too strong?
• Is it too weak?
• Are there any cards that create confusing interactions?
• Are the villain abilities fun to play against?
• Does the team feel distinct from existing Sentinels villains?
• Are there any effects that need better wording?
• Which heroes make the matchup completely insane?

If you play it, please tell me how the game went!

Screenshots, game reports, balance suggestions, rules questions, and criticism are all welcome.

📦 THE FILES

I've attached the complete card set so anyone interested can print the cards and play the deck.

Everything needed to play the Red Menace should be included.

This is purely a fan project made for the Sentinels community — not for sale and not affiliated with Greater Than Games.

If enough people are interested, I'll also put together a cleaner print-and-play PDF / card sheet version.

COMRADES, THE REVOLUTION BEGINS.

DIFFICULTY OF THE VILLAIN IS 7-8 AND 9 IN ADVANCED

Trying to get my hands on a copy of Disparation. I know this is a long shot, but just figured I’d make a post to see if there are any extra copies floating around out there or if anyone is getting rid of theirs.

Anywho, just let me know!

So I have a weird theory as to why gtg is being so cagey about what the next expansion will be. If there is anything that I have learned about Christopher, it is that he he a stubborn bastard (said with love). So he probally had a plan for what he would do if he was unable to regain the rights to Sentinels. And if there is another thing that I have learned about Christopherz it is that is he a crafty bastard (still said with love), and he would know that while you can copyright ip, you cannot copyright mechanics.

I have a suspicion that Christopher and Adam might have been working on a new "game" this last year that used none of the Sentinels IP. But if there is a third thing that I have learned about Christopher, it is that he is a clever bastard (see above), and it would make sense to me that he designed these new decks to be close enough to unreleased Sentinels characters that he could pivot them back to the Sentinels IP if they got the rights back. I suspect that much, if not most (and maybe even the name of the expansion), features this new content.

I very well could be wrong. And I am not even sure that I am sold on the idea. But it is a feeling that I cannot shake. Either way, I expect we will hear more about the expansion once the Kickstarter for Defenders of the Realm ends.

Edit: This could even be part of the reason why they refuse to talk about what they did during that year.

Ok I decided to complete my Sentinels collection the Earth Prime stuff. Which now includes everything from GtG and The Cauldron. I found a box from tesseract games that may fit everything horizontally. It’s almost 200 USD. I want to store everything horizontally. Any suggestions? Also I need horizontal dividers for The Cauldron stuff.

My friend and I recently fought Necrosis during his event using Advanced rules. We quickly folded and started that fight over with a new team. While he is a 4 difficulty without the event and advanced rules, he is pretty brutal without reliable damage mitigation on Advanced rules.

This is not a complaint. I loved that the spike made us rely on cards we normally gloss over and use different strategies.

If you have not tried that fight, he can pack a wallop!

edit: fixed a typo

I know where a lot of them are from and I know at least some of them are fake-out comic book covers that never actually happened, but do we know where all of them are from? I'm mostly familiar with the EE art, but this applies to DE as well.

Hey everyone! Its you're friendly neighborhood absent-minded wiki admin here with a State of the Wiki update

State of AI Crawlers and busted allowed bandwidth/cpu

So. A lot of the stuff I did a few months back to reduce AI crawlers absolutely destroying the available bandwidth/cpu processing on the hosting site has helped out - but i was still getting notifications of "Youve used 80% of your quota" near the end of each month. I dont *think* the sites went down at all due to that over the last 6 months or so but ... maybe. I donno. I havent been keeping that close attention 😄. And unfortunately this also lead to geolocation bans on ips originating from China, Brazil, and a few other asian countries.

But anyway. Renewal time is coming up and so I thought "Maybe i should look at hosting these somewhere else where I have more control" and after a day of fiddling around with that and deciding its not worth it, I also said "eh. Lets sign up for Cloudflare finally"

Boy I should have done *that* earlier

So both Sentinelswiki (and Spirit Island wiki even tho the two are no longer under the same company control anymore) are now behind Cloudflare. As of this post, Sentinels has been there for about 72 hours and Spirit island about 24.

let me tell you...

in the last ~24 hours this is the AI Crawler stats from Spiritislandwiki.com

24 hour spirit island ai crawlers stats

And this is Sentinelswiki.com

24 hour sentinels ai crawler stats

And you can see this has had a huge effect on the CPU seconds being spent on this crap

cpu seconds for the hosting account

Ive since blocked Anthropic's from Spiritisland - i meant to do that from the start, but there were issues with the name registars moving the name servers to point away from my host to Cloudflare so that got lost. Talk about crazy tho.

A note: Bing's crawler is blocked on both sites cause it was hitting them like 200 times an hour. This may make searches on big a bit... weird... but honestly... These wiki's have been up for ever, since before 'a wiki for everything' was super common, and so if you search information on either game there are dozens and dozens of reddit/bgg/forum/blog posts that all reference the wiki. People will find their way to it, I'm sure. And seriously, bing, why you gotta crawl nearly 2500 times a day eh? It doesn't change that much yeesh.

For you? No change - mostly.

So. For the most part this should be seen as very little difference for your average user. Some pages may load faster. Maybe. I'm not taking full advantage of the caching Cloudflare CDNs bring, but it is a wiki and such caching can have a real negative impact on editing it in a timely manner (it can really muck up "seeing" the edit)

Myself and a few others have had a few "Something Suspicious" warnings from Firefox specifically (I dont see those warnings on Edge or Chrome) about a cert issue - this is because i issued brand new certs to make sure that things were lined up correctly. Clear your cookies if you see this, that generally has resolved it.

But not even ever firefox user has reported it so who knows lol.

And hey, if you lived in Brazil and couldnt access the wiki's... those geolocation blocks are now gone!

Want to Help the Sentinels Wiki?

For fans of Sentinels (as this is crossposted) if you want to help out - Im (very very very slowly) trying to update the wiki to be character oriented rather than game oriented, as the world of sentinels is so much bigger than any one game. Part of that has been a new layout (You can see it in work on Absolute Zero and Akash and few others) and part of that has been organizing and cataloging cards in a way that will be *much* better for all things regarding referencing them across t he entire wiki.

But with thousands of cards to convert, i wasn't about to do that by hand so I built a bot that does it for me. And.... well the card lists were not exactly always formatted 100% the same so sometimes it makes mistakes. As such, pages touched by the bot are tagged with this category: https://sentinelswiki.com/index.php/Category:Needs_Review_after_Bot

if you are bored and want to double check cards, feel free to. Send me a PM here or in the Discord (im lynkfox in the Realm of Discord server) with cards you've reviewed and any mistakes youve found and ill get them cleaned up off that list.

Or don't, I'm not your mom. I can't make you clean ~~my room~~ the website for me. 😁

The Future, with changes in who owns things.

SO. The big thing - the future. Whats happening?

So when I started the Sentinels wiki way back when, like a decade ago, and soon after the Spirit Island Wiki, Paul and GTG eventually reached out to me to make it "official" and helped pay for the site. That relationship continued through the years, even after the acquisition by Flat River Games. Even after shutting them down, FRG still paid the invoice for the sites.

I have reached out to Paul and GTG but haven't heard back yet - to be fair i reached out literally as they were coming back from Gencon and I'm not even 100% certain the email address i used worked. I need to get on that and send a follow up, cc'd to the general contact 😛

But regardless of the decision they make, the wiki's (Both) will continue to exist. 10 years ago i was barely making a living as a cook and hosting, while definitely cheaper than it is now, was still a huge deal for them to take it over

These days I'm much more fortunate in life and job and such and its not a burden (tho I most certainly do not mind being reimbursed lol) so regardless the Wiki's will continue.

As for Spirit Island, i need to reach out to eric as well and talk about how / what he wants to do to handle this. Again, not expecting reimbursement here - especially from eric - but it is his IP and and he gets the majority vote in this.

Anywho ... take care

Thats it for me. Take care all, keep on kicking colonists and villians butts.

I've been thinking of making either a written or video breakdown of the art on each card in Enhanced Edition (I'd be using the video game). This would obviously require a ton of time and research, so I wanted to see if anyone would even be interested in something like that. Or if it's already been done and I'm not aware of it. As for what I'd be doing, I would go through each card and explain what characters are on it and what major story it's from (assuming I can find that information). For example, Living Rockslide from Akash'Bhuta's deck is from the final fight against her and features Chrono Ranger. Thokk! from Legacy's deck is from the fight with The Dreamer and features the Dark Hero projection. This would be a huge undertaking and I doubt I'd be able to cover each deck, but I'd like to at least do the base set if I do decide to do it. Every now and then I could cover another expansion.

desperately need the disparation expansion but of course due to “things” I can’t find it anywhere. anyone got some secret knowledge or am I just shit out of luck till the next kickstarter

edit: autocorrect hates me
