Am I supposed to learn how to play every deck to get good at this game?
In every card game, be it Pokémon or MtG or Yugioh, the top decks are the top decks for a good reason. So you should primarily invest in learning how to play against these decks and whatever decks specifically counter yours. You don't need to learn to counter every dogshit brew some rando cooked up, just the decks that actually matter and are actually relevant.
>>97826182or you can play kitchen table
>>97826649Sure, but playing with fine tuned decks is very fun. It can be enjoyable. Kitchen table isn't very conductive to producing a truly competitive experience which is what many players want.
>>97815281No, you only need to learn how to play the current $500 meta deck and replace it with the next $500 meta deck every 6 months
>>97826662competitive is fun in games where you don't have to buy in. I really enjoyed legends of runeterra as someone who had like 20 EDH decks before atraxa was in print, had the blue double breaker for american duel masters, raigeki and mirrorforce and xyz dragon i think i left ygo by set 5 or 6. I liked emulation programs like cockatrice , whatever the early 00s ygo duel simulator was. Competitive games are janky BS when you have to buy in. 150 dollars for a gemini elf at frank and sons. Compete at capitalism rather than the card game. I don't think i would want to be playing digimon in person because this game is so ruthless. why do you want a truly competitive card game experience? When these games were new this was novel- now we have seen many large scale e-sports. starcraft and magic were early outliers. CS picked up steam. then we had melee and halo. Now we are post league of legends. People have moved away from that esports mindset and largely prefer the older formats in ygo and commander in mtg. People want every archetype to feel finely tuned and to be able to play what they want. People want complexity and fairness. Thats what true competition is, not spamming metaslop and going 8 and 1. 40k is an interesting game to look at, they are probably the main community that truly wants competition. Even then they are largely held back by budget and build/paint time.
Which D&D canon setting do you like most? Which one would you like to try out? >Blackmoor? More like, Blackwhore!>Greyhawk? More like, Gayhawk! >Mystara? More like, Fagstara!>The Conan universe?

>>97805205>BlackmoorA bit generic, but it's from like 1970 so that's forgivable. Charming but not a great setting overall.>GreyhawkThe other OG. Don't know a ton about it but from what I've seen it seems pretty cool, a lot more '80s Sword and Sorcery' than a lot of the other D&D settings and a lot of modern fantasy fiction in general, which is nice>Conan universeI wasn't even aware this was an official D&D setting. Kino, though.>Forgotten RealmsEasily my favorite and the one I'm most familiar with, but not without flaws. Probably the most fleshed out. It's the most popular for multiple reasons, even if half of those reasons are "Ed Greenwood is excessively horny">SpelljammerBasically a meta-setting that was literally intended to tie all the universes together. Therefore, not particularly unique in its own right, but neat concept.>Dark SunPretty cool and underrated, I like the concept, but don't find it interesting enough to invest any particular attention in it.>PlanescapeSimilar to Spelljammer. Most of the things it brought to D&D as a whole are no longer unique due to them being shared across most of the other settings.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

There was a very interesting post a while ago where a fa/tg/uy said he was impersonating different shitposters in an attempt to psychologically manipulate the mods and discover who gets special privileges on the board and who doesn't.

>create a system>it's good>but have a huge ego and expect the system to become popular through word of mouth>do 0 PR for the system>do Pikachu face when the system tanksLiterally the story of every new indie system in the last 20 years. What's wrong with people in this industry? Does this industry only attract retards or what? It seems that way because only DND has created an official online service, while the rest believe that Internet is something secondary in the 21st century.
>>97824160>self-made>not inheritingImagine letting yourself be born to substandard stock.
>>97821479>Anything would be better than dndObjectively, factually untrue.>people who are not puritanical assholesAlso objectively, factually untrue.
>>97822688Anon, with that attitude you're showing the best advice I can give you is to not start a business.
>>97821411>ragebait greentext>look in thread>full of ESLs, food analogies, and bileIt checkout.
>>97821411The problem is more complex than that. It's not just that they don't advertise, but most don't really have any place to advertise that isn't out of their price range. Instagram is the only place I ever recall seeing ads for TTRPG stuff and most of them were either D&D slop like Obojima, which ran ads for months, or they were for high profile kickstarters that had already made millions anyways like that one witch game.The only other ways to get exposure seems to be giving handjobs under the table to D&D youtubers during the brief windows where those faggots feel like making more D&D content will be bad for their career because WotC fucked up again. Unless you've already got an in with that clique, that's not going to be an option either. Likewise for any other version of "get an e-celeb/newsites/popular blog to promote the game"They could go to some indie RPG communities and servers and try to promote there, but then they're shilling in a sea of shills.If they're lucky, Indie Press Revolution might pick up their game, but those retards don't select for quality. They select for vibes and queerness. Even then, the most they'll do to promote your game is leave a stack of the books on their table amongst about a hundred other random, barely curated games.What else does that leave? DrivethruRPG? Itchio? Both of those places are infamously bad about discoverability, let alone ease of search. Putting a game up on either is best for ease of access, but the odds of anyone finding anything you make organically are slim to none.The RPG industry has been suffering with these problems for decades and no one wants to make anything better that would actually help. RPGs need something equivalent to Steam, and instead we've got some retarded storefronts and a bunch of useless niche communities.

>>97826597>the base set is super boringthe card design look really basic right nowi get that its the first set but damn getting carried hard by the cyberpunk brand
>>97826652Yeah, the frame looks really boring. I think they're trying to go for the hologram look or something but it's just the same design 36447 other TCGs are already using. How is it that literally every new TCG out there comes out and refuses to learn any of the design guidelines the big three spent literal decades devising?
I'm not sure why normies are so entranced by the most basic bitch cyberpunk aesthetic. It's an unfailing litmus test.
>>97826685I think you're just mad cause you don't like CP2077~
The basic mechanics have the same core as every other TCG out there, the card design is bland, the IP has its fans but it's not something the large public is particularly crazy about, this is absolutely investorfags FOMOing and it won't last more than two sets
