What are /r/Battlecon's favorite Products & Services?

I still play with Special Actions for a few reasons:

1. I think Cancel is a really cool one-time option to have.
2. I already have a hard enough time keeping track of the beat counter manually.
3. Special Dash happens all the time, pending changes to the Dash Base (which are in the pipeline somewhere).
4. The Force Gauge antes, for the most part, trade off each other in uninteresting ways. Priority cancels Priority, Power cancels Soak. There are only a few interesting outcomes here:
   1. Ante into a Dash, wasting the Force.
   2. Ante Stun Guard, which some characters admittedly need access to.
   3. Ante into a Style or UA that counters it.
   4. Ante to trade Force, blocking a Finisher.
5. The availability of Pulse into Finisher at 3 Life or less makes the game swingy in a bad way.
6. The ability to trade down on Force decreases the amount of tactical pressure Finishers exert in late game, which is one of the best things about the Finishers.

In general I think it's an extra fiddly bit that changes the game's strategy in a bad way. It might be fixable with house rules, but then you're not really playing the official version. (BGG thread)

I have a travel set that I carry around that is working well for me. It's very barebones but it successfully supplies my battlecon fix on the road.

Storage: This fancy box. All the cards in one box, bases in the tiny middle compartment, and the standups and tokens in the larger one.

Board: Trials of Indines comes with a more compact board consisting of 7 cards placed side by side. It works perfectly for this.

Dials: I use Keepscore because the dials won't fit!

Characters: I use Hikaru, Cadenza, Shekhtur, Eligor, Cesar, Alexian, Kallistar, and Mikhail. I think these characters are extremely straightforward, with gimmicks that are just subtle riffs off the main system (still working on this mix, any suggestions are most welcome). This is because I wanted to be able to quickly teach someone in case of a new player.
