As someone who bought a box recently, the amount and variety of foils and embossing is surprisingly nice, and especially at such a ridiculously low price. You can get a box for ten bucks and try for yourself.

To add to the conversation about making a card game, I think why you’re making the game is very important. I want to make a game that promotes coomer art, so to me I want the mechanics to be very simple and the art to be very prominently displayed on the card. I would also want it to be a game where I could choose whichever car I think is the cutest or the hottest or whatever and I could force that car to be playable. To this end, I find that a game similar to one piece that allows for vanillas to be playable is something that is very appealing to me. If the game is structured around magic numbers, you could print hot women at good number values and not compromise the core integrity of your game. The stacking mechanic that was talked about last thread is not appealing to me because you’re asking me to hide the art of one of the cards. Unless you’re only hiding the text box or something.

>>97580561
How I'd go about it
>Leader cards ("harem queens") give you a simple archetype-nudging ability
>Girls in your deck are part of your harem as you play them, print representatives for different fetishes and tastes to fill each staple generic effect and each magic number
>Bulk of meaningful gameplay decisions are with action and modifier cards, the former can be a mixture of the hot girls doing flashy attacks and CGDCT, the latter being various pieces of equipment both combative and fetishistic
>Stacking is done with the modifier cards, letting you play the kinds of girls you want, and giving them the effects you want to play with

I've decided to prototype a smaller project purely to familiarise myself with the process of making and editing a card layout.

the superhero tcg Alpha Clash does this. it's kind of a " mechanics greatest hits of big 3" game. mtg big main structure and one-per-turn ramp, duel masters any-card lands, avatar card that can fight like a creature, equips/buffs that bounce back to your board automatically, and facedown trap cards.

it's pretty solid if what you're looking for in a game is a 5th generation mtg spawn that actually learns the lessons of its predecessors. which feels like the kind of thing that should be a given, but its actually kinda rare.

>>97580561

>>97580561
What will the "colors" represent? Or do you have some other method of dividing up the card pool?

>>97580601
I've mentioned I'm tinkering with my own ideas for a horny TCG and was taking inspiration from what I saw in the thread; here's what I've settled on:
>leader girl with either archetypal synergy or generic bonuses (still deciding if I want a LRIG-like upgrade mechanic)
>playing girls as energy sources in a specific zone
>girls in the zone can also be summoned from there if you have enough to pay their cost
>the card shield is made up of girls who get sent to that zone when popped (I also have funny hentai trope names for this)
>forego battle entirely and make sex the core mechanic
>also have spells and tools and stuff
>girls have a finite amount of stamina and are knocked out when too tired
>they come back in play eventually when they've recovered, possibly to the energy zone first
>different interactions may affect stamina differently
>leader girl has effectively infinite stamina as long as her maidens remain pure, and you lose when she is sexed without any left
The core issue I need to iron out is how to properly handle keeping track of stamina itself on cards. Since I want to let you build a board (but likely with a size limit) and not make this a creature battler like PTCG/Holoka I'm afraid to risk turning it into a counter stacking nightmare (especially if different recovery period lengths exist too), but I also want permanent fatigue because it's more flavour fitting and because it sets it more apart from other games.

Pic Related. I don't play Gundam physically because I'm already pouring money into Holo and on top of that all the talk of pricing has kinda scared me off of it but I will pick up a card of my favorite Mobile Armor eventually.

>spend hours fantasizing about what I could buy when I have money

Ughhhhhhhhhhh I can't decide
I want to buy some booster boxes for Neopets but I can't choose. There's always the "is the base set going to explode in price" for all TCGs, so buy a box now so you at least have some staples down the line, then there's "hot new set with long term value" or "2nd set silver age" with the 25th anniversary
Right now I'm thinking 1 box of Defenders of Neopia or 1 box of Void Within but I keep switching it for War for the Obelisk and 25th Anniversary. If only I could have bought one of these boxes in person somewhere instead of online... every set I don't have a box of there's at least 1 chase card I really want too.

Should I just flip a coin or chase the dream?

Leader cards are overdone, overused and done in a way that promotes semi rotation. Terrible for deck building creativity as well.

The issue is it's not implemented well in a lot of games. Do it right, and it can be great. The GT "Hi-Tech" personality cards, in particular, let you essentially "build" your leader cards, offering vast diversity.

>>97581992
The issue is the implementation, not the mechanic. Games like DBS:M, the only card text that matters is its traits because they enable other cards.

You make leader cards with actual effects that impact the game? Has none of the issues you're talking about.

He mostly just explains what SAGE is and how it avoids the legendary pitfalls. He doesn't seem to have any more in depth knowledge or take considering he previously tried the game in 2020. It's an okay video I suppose if you're new and want to learn what SAGE is. I think FAB is a lot of fun and even own a few "high value" cards like Fyendal's Spring Tunic but reasonably if you want to play at home you should and could just print and play it.

Pretty sure Ira's demo deck is still available to print somewhere too.

>>97582296
Take note that every car game has borders on it for a reason. Even if this is just a fan game for yourself, it will be best to design in a way that makes it easier on yourself when you go to cut them out.

Also, if you ever do plan to send it to a shop to print, they are going to want some form of bleed so that the cards get cut consistently. Any advice I give you now about the layout of your cards is less important than you designing with a border.

>>97582296
I'm not a huge fan of how you're doing the subtitles. My suggestion is to put 'Crash Man' in a larger font and 'With Both Barrels' in a smaller less decorative font beneath it, whether centered or left-aligned with an indent for the subtitle. Also, something about the tiny red multi attack bar is making my eyes bleed, and the negative space above Crashman's sprite is bothersome. I feel like you could put a pixel platform under him to center him vertically without having him float in mid-air.

>>97582296
I like the penultimate

>>97582767
Seconding this. No card game has sharp corners like this, so at the very least you need a border to compensate for this so that you don't cut off any of the elements wedged in the corner. I get that you're going for square borders to push the video game menu look, but on the card edge, that's not going to work.

anyone tried pure red ping? is it enjoyable and good?

>>97584199
Honestly, a lot of the low end red units kinda suck. A lot of the level 6-7 units are great, QGuuux is good to, but you have turns before that and it can get dicey especially on turn where your resources don't make a nice sum of your command card costs. I would really look at using another color on the low end. Doing like Academy command spam can be fun but it's one of those decks where you have to have certain cards in hand on certain turns. Using blockers to stall for the big burns is a thing. Using Blue/purple as additional ping to help get value out of cards like All Range Attack or Battle of Aces also good. If you really want an all red deck, ZAFT is an option but it's not all that much ping.

>>97584356
>a lot of the low end red units kinda suck
I see, the best is to use another color which have better starters

More like whenever I start injecting theme, the board being emptied creates a disconnect so I force it to be repopulated or always be populated from the start.
Like a dumb example is a volleyball concept I had. It makes sense for one player to be injured and be missing from a side. But for an entire side to just be empty midround? My brain is like 'well clearly that signals the end of the round'. And the logic flows from that - well start the next round with both sides having their 4 players back on the board. Or maybe those cards never leave the board, they just take damage until they're tapped out until the round ends. And you can't just put in random players, it has be the same ones, so cards are just evolved forms. Wow would you look at that, you locked your whole deck in and now only have actions to add any sort of deviations.

The more I think about it, it's probably less from picking shit themes and more having played too many StS/StS clones. And yet I still don't like FaB

>>97586598
>It makes sense for one player to be injured and be missing from a side
Does it though? I know sports injuries happen, but unless you're making some kind of hyperviolence sport, they shouldn't be a core mechanic of your game. And if you ARE making a hyperviolence sport, then the rules of the sport should reflect that and replacing players should be expected.

>>97586625
Well that's kind of root of my retardation. I keep trying to find ways to have dynamic board state beyond combat but also not so heavily reliant on tokens. Otherwise I make yet another tableau builder (or worse, a tableau builder with forced card removal). Which can be fun, but isn't really TCG in spirit. So I try to embrace the fact entities should enter and leave the board and they should drive the possible actions, but the retard juice is strong and now the actors just sit there while the players act upon them. Or back to the volleyball example, yeah I would agree that players should be on the court the entire time. Cool, cool, so I make this framework, tweak those rules, and uhh my deck is 90% "dive" and "spike" cards.

>>97586499
NTA, FoW and GR immediately come to mind. Wixoss too.

>>97585702
>i'm kinda upset at how little the meta changed with the new set.
Barbatos Fed ping was not 70% of the top cut before and Kira/Seed shit was good but Sword Strike specifically has come to the front much more than during it's release. The trouble is that they are focusing on new decks and getting them "good enough" which is not good enough. All these decks like AGE, CB, or whatever else can all get wins at your locals if you get your combo on curve. They just don't have a lot of options and decisions. You just have it or you don't, and you're probably running a lot of shit filler because all these cards want to be run with their own tribe.

>>97586519
Make a game based around developing a board state then, like Netrunner

>>97586467

Any Dragon Ball collectors here who can give me an opinion?
I'm thinking about starting to collect DBS cards because it's the only main franchise from my childhood that I don't have any cards of (I already collect Digimon and Pokémon).
I don't want to get into playing the game or have a really large collection. My goal is simply to get at least 1 card of each Dragon Ball character.
I know there's Masters and Fusion World. Which one should I prioritize? I know I can collect both but I feel it would be better to focus on one of those series.
From what I've seen, Masters seems to have the better artwork but I'm not sure if I like the long card names. Fusion World has just the character names like I prefer and doesn't have as much card text so they don't look as busy but the artworks are more basic.
Also, I'm a bit overwhelmed with how many cards already exist. Should I start by the oldest sets or the newest sets?
Thanks in advance.

When retail effectively starts.
Keep in mind that right now Warlord booster boxes come with box toppers (kickstarter)
Those box are the same as the retail boxes. The box toppers could be sold separately and people would probably buy.

The only product exclusive to the kickstarter (except box toppers Extended art cards from booster boxes (comes in a separated pack) ) is the box of greed ("fatpack" box with reprint of 100 cards that see play). The box of greed is expected to be sold for more (imo).

you're not autistic. the font size on the Chinese cards shows you the actual default typesetting style and size these cards were built around. the English language cards have an uncomfortable amount of negative space which accentuates how tiny the shitty font is.

The real revulsion comes from how genuinely terrible the templating is, and how the game actually functions.
Like how pic related is the newest hotness to complain about because the templating is legit ass.
In Riftbound, ALL targets MUST be declared. So Relentless Pursuit MUST target an Equipment to use it at all. It doesn't matter if you don't intend to attach the Equipment or not, you need to have a target in mind, declare it THEN decide to not attach it on resolution.
Any regular human being reading the card would just assume that you can move any unit, but then IF you have an Equipment you may also do the attachment shit.
But nope, if someone wipes your Equipments out your Signature Spell is not a legal card to play anymore.

>>97592113

It all stems from trying desperately to differentiate themselves from MTG, and so they use more casual text which is just straight up incompatible with having a rules engine in the background making cards work the way they should.
By all means they could've wrote
>Choose a friendly unit and an Equipment with the same controller. Move that unit. You may attach that Equipment to that unit. This turn, that unit has "When I conquer, you may move me to base."
Same fucky wording, but clear in the fact that you need to "choose" 2 things for it to function.
Riot are just retards flying by the seat of their pants.
Because you ALSO have shit like Hidden as a keyword, which has far too many moving parts in the background and is straight up NOT explained properly anywhere but the black-and-white hundred page rules document.
>Hidden lets you pay a Power to place the card face-down at a battlefield you control
>You can only have 1 Hidden card per battlefield (unless otherwise stated on a card)
>After a turn has passed, the card is allowed to be played and has Reaction speed. It also is completely free to play.
>Any choices made with the card have to involve the battlefield that the card is played at when possible (so if a unit is played, it must go to the battlefield its Hidden at. If you need to choose something, it needs to be at the battlefield you are at etc.)
with the above information, what did they write for this excessively complicated SET 1 keyword?
>Hide now for (1 Power) to react with later for (0).

>>97592510
Another Hidden mechanic I forgot to mention
>If you lose control of the battlefield that a Hidden card is at, the Hidden card is sent to the trash, with no opportunity to use it

Nothing about this garbage reads casual.

>>97592696
It's more stuff like avoiding more technical terms like targeting, having cards refer to themselves in first person etc.
It's more conversational text, but it tends to get fucked when you ask basic questions like "does this card choose?" and "what is required to even play this card?"

>>97592716
>It's more conversational text
But it's not, though. It's an out of touch retard's idea of conversational. It just reads like bad writing.

It's not all cards. All units (aka creatures) refer to themselves in the third person. Gear (artifacts) and spells (sorceries/instants) are written in the third person.

I'm just glad they actually tried to listen to the audience. When the initial demo released and hype exploded, the cards were made to look like an ugly one piece knock-off, but people complained and they actually changed the design. And when people complain about the rules, they they try to fix them.
Still weird they're going through this though.

This any good?

>>97593244
I have still to see anyone explain how it plays and why it's good.

>>97594329
nta, but it's just fun. Not sure I can properly elucidate why if you haven't tried it, it would be like trying to explain colour to a blind person.
It's like mtg at it's core, but the fact you're fighting over battlefields which can only be scored a limited number of times, means it tempers both the aggro and control extremes, aggro physically can't win before t4-5, and control has to engage with the board to be able to win. The legends being very different offers lots of different playstyles.
At a competitive level, balancing is very questionable though.

>>97594423
>It's like mtg at it's core

The whole thing does appear extremely amateurish. Take just Defy: counter is not defined as a keyword, it just relies on the assumption that you will know what it means. Even Hearthstone knew better. I also, but maybe it's just me, take issue with the way the chain is supposed to work. If it goes off in reverse order it does not make logical sense to me for Defy to work as a reaction. If it read prevent instead of counter it would make sense. Maybe it's just my language autism though.

>>97594454
>take issue with the way the chain is supposed to work. If it goes off in reverse order it does not make logical sense to me for Defy to work as a reaction
what do you mean?
Spell is on chain/stack. Play Defy targeting spell. Now chain is spell on bottom, defy on top, so defy resolves first, which counters the spell, meaning the spell does nothing and goes to the trash.
Countering is defined in rule 412.

>>97594329
I personally enjoy the dynamic of how their Rune/Power system works
>Rune deck of 12 cards
>At the start of the game, you get 2 Runes (or 3 if you went second)
>Each turn, you get 2 Runes from the top of your Rune deck
>Tapping the Runes gives you Energy to pay for cards
>"Recycling" a Rune (putting it to the bottom of your Rune Deck) gives you a Power, which is another cost that can be present on cards
This adds a whole dynamic of whether to get rid of your current Runes to pay for a card, which will affect your future Energy gains for later turns until you reach the critical mass of 12 available Runes is really neat.

Does the 0-8 hyperspatial zone size restriction apply to duelmate cards, and does the 1-4 rule apply to them individually?

>>97594479
>Countering is defined in rule 412
With all the garbage reminders and keywords they have on cards, they could afford to make one for that.
>Spell is on chain/stack. Play Defy targeting spell. Now chain is spell on bottom, defy on top, so defy resolves first, which counters the spell, meaning the spell does nothing and goes to the trash
I find it deeply counterintuitive that you're "targeting" something that's still in the unresolved aether. It's just fundamentally nonsensical for a reactive action to happen before the supposed cause of it. The wording doesn't make sense either really. If "the chain resolves in reverse order" then the spell you used Defy on resolves after Defy; there is no effect for Defy to stop yet when it goes off. Unless counter is defined as removing from the chain, this is just needlessly backwards.

>>97594524
>you're "targeting" something that's still in the unresolved aether.
the chain is a physical space where cards (and abilities) are, thoguh. If you move a card from the chain into the trash, it's gone from it physically.
>It's just fundamentally nonsensical for a reactive action to happen before the supposed cause of it.
action and reaction are "playing" speeds. Meaning you are reacting to something happening to play something, like reacting to an action being played. You aren't reacting to something resolving.
>"the chain resolves in reverse order"
It's just a normal stack, LIFO.
>Unless counter is defined as removing from the chain
it is

>>97594546
>action and reaction are "playing" speeds
Action and reaction are abstract concepts we define reality with and you'd expect things named after them to mirror reality.
>It's just a normal stack, LIFO
I'm not questioning what it is, I'm questioning if it makes sense for it to be that.
>it is
Then it should really say so somewhere that's not the in depth rules, because I've seen people explaining the game who didn't know that.
>the chain is a physical space where cards (and abilities) are, thoguh
Yeah, so is your hand. We're talking about the effects of cards. Denying an effect that's not in focus yet simply makes no sense. Denying the card itself does, but again that's not at all clear from a surface look at the rules.

Maybe I'm insane, but I think rules and rulings should exist to give simple answers to the complex interactions that arise from cards during play, not to add an artificial veneer of complexity to what appears streamlined by looking at the cards themselves. I should be looking at the rules when I come across card texts that interface in a way that leaves me unsure. If instead I'm faced with a situation where reading the cards leaves me certain things are supposed to play out a certain way and the rules are what forces itself upon the game and says something else then the entire game is built backwards.

Can someone give me the gist of the gundam TCG? I have a very mild interest, i'm a newer gundam franchise fan, but I need to be convinced to give a shit about the TCG. My LGS has precons

>>97594501
8 card limit applies to any types of cards in the hyperspatial zone (psychic, dragheart, duelmate).
It's 8 cards total with no more than 4 copies of the same card. Not 8 types of cards with up to 4 copies.

>>97594759
The rules are somewhat unclear due to listing duelmates separately from the old hyperspatial cards. So the optimal build is probably 3-3-2 or even 4-2-2 I'd assume?

>>97594811
Optimal is usually to have as many different hyperspatial cards as possible to maximize your options, only doubling up when you have a good reason.
The couple of decks I've seen played (from Youtube videos) with duelists ran 1-1-2 for duelmate cards (rest being psychic cards), doubling up on a duelmate that's generally useful and situationally better than linking the super creature.

>>97594848
>rest being psychic cards
Drags not viable?

>>97594887
They are. The decks just happened to use psychics. Probably new ones from Pandora Wars.

>>97594887
>>97594930 (Me)
Actually I just looked again at the videos I was talking about. One of them uses 4 duelmates 4 psychics (Kisaragi deck), and the other uses 4 duelmates 4 draghearts (Miroku deck).

A silica gel pack and some kind of container would work also, but try to prevent direct contact with your cards.

A heavy flat object is another choice if you want to try that.

>>97594701
It's about balancing your give and take more than anything. Attacking the opponent leaves you especially vulnerable but you have to do it to win. The biggest, baddest boss cards are going to stay on board for like 1 turn most of the time. You're always giving something up, it's just making sure your opponent has to give up at least that much. How greedy can you get without going bust?

>>97594701

It's Tencent who ruined 2XKO and fucked up Riftbound's release

>>97596480
the issue with 2XKO is that they clearly reinvented the core concept like 3+ times since their initial pitch. It was initially "Rising Thunder but League" to "League Street Fighter" to "League Anime Fighter" to "League Tag Fighter" to "League BBTag"
They have *very little* to show for their 8ish years in development. It's not so much the quality of the work (though core game assets are underbaked) as much as how sparse it all is.
The good news is that you can see from Akali and Senna that they clearly do have premium looking characters on the docket. Hopefully they take their team being cleaved in half as the jumpstart to actually push out a game worth playing. It just sucks that so many people lost their jobs due to poor direction.

Going to agree with >>97595944 , the Detective theme for that starter has some fairly solid stuff in it. However, Lorcana generally doesn't have very high powered starters, so be prepared to supplement any starters you pick up with boosters or singles once you get the hang of playing the game.

That being said, Winterspell is the first set to release without the normal 2 pre-con decks, and I'm still wondering what they're playing at.

>>97597852

Yeah my only mild complaint was not being able to get either of the new paintbrushes in my 1 box but at least the singles aren't too expensive. It feels like they doubled the UR/XR rate in Void Within and going forward since the next set (Maraqua) will only have 20 pack booster boxes.

Can they print more red cards that can destroy blockers? the level 9 Xi Gundam sucks ass so much, Mafty needs a new Mafty pilot or make a new version of Hathaway.

>>97598452
Yeah, singles are usually pretty reasonable, especially once I found the top ebay sellers on dicksword and we were able to fuck ebay out of their cut of the transaction. ^_^
Annoying that the next set only has 20 packs per box. We're really hoping they cut some of the pack chaff down. Too many basic pets per pack.

It's fine enough. Big GQuuuX is better since it's any target and no pair needed, but in most games you're playing Xi earlier and cheaper even after paying for a pilot.

nothing in my post suggested you should pay.
either way yes I'm aware of the history, advertising on the dota forums, etc.. neither company nor game are in the incarnation they were when this happened...almost 20 years ago.
in current year, dota blew through most of its goodwill by gating model updates behind triple digit battle passes, getting rid of them, and then forgetting the game exists. league has blown through most of its goodwill by introducing gacha and never solving its carry problems.
let's also not forget that valve not only introduced battlepass and loot box mechanics in their worst incarnation to dota, that they trample over their own esports by having players fund it while also timing their batltlepass reward windows so that most of the purchases go to THEM instead of the prize pool, how basic interfacing with analytics is a subscription service, etc etc.. I hold no water for Riot games, but I'm so tired of people talking about Dota like it's the golden child instead of a mod-turned-extraction-machine that literally led the industry down its worst live service tricks. Neither Riot nor Icefrog give a shit about Pendragon anymore.

Remember when [insert dead TCG here] was also popular because it was new? Remember when [insert abandoned Riot project here] was shot in the back the moment profits began to dip?

both icefrog and most people stopped caring bout this after pendragon gave back dota-allstars. nobody likes pendragon, not even riot games, but literally only dotards care about this because it's another vector to hate a game in the same genre that's more popular in every region except Eastern Europe
>>97599581
league was a bad copy of dota for like 4ish years, but they both play very differently now. dota is a strategy game with action elements while league is an action game with strategy elements. I like dota more since
>neutral creeps directly interact with lane pressure
>each hero changes dramatically based on itemization and gold budget
>the vision game is trickier
>carries have TR restrictions yet don't die immediately in the late game
>heroes like dark willow are a Swiss army knife of mechanics
but I'd be lying if I said league was all around simpler or easy. the fact is that league's symmetry puts players in positions where competition for advantages leads to more direct pvp situations like solo fights. dedicated jungling in league is a good example of this, and it's the closest league has to dota's decision making since
>you're doing pvp against another roamer
>you have the gold budget of a carry but the responsibilities of a support
>you have to monitor and interact with lane pressure
most dota players I know who have tried league end up liking jungle

When 2XKO left beta I said over and over that the decision to make it a tag fighter would kill its momentum, and that Riot did a terrible job at advertising it while wasting money on tournament prizes. That letting FGCheads make decisions was incompatible with a F2P that had been in development for a decade and needed to make its money back, that the skins were overcosted and the rotating shop stupid, that Vanguard is a nonsensical requirement and that the lobbies were garbage. I was right about everything. Riftbound will be on life support within three years, dead within 5.

>>97600113
Congratulations, you just repeated what everyone already said on twitter and in the FGC like it was some groundbreaking revelation. That has nothing to do with Riftbound, which is handled by UVS which is a completely different team. You're a retard for comparing the two.

I don't see how this is relevant when not only can you constantly get TTS and TCGA games online, but there are regular events in a decent number of shops in every region of the US and many in Europe. Sorcery can't even say the same, and that game is going very strong.
Is this supposed to be some gotcha? "This game you like tied to <mainstream-company-i-dislike> is going to die! Ok never mind, it'll just be niche and you'll be a loser!"
The more you wish for a card game to die, the stronger it'll become.

I too drool when thinking about it.

gundam is fucked. seeing multiple reports that it's a tier 0 meta where the mirror match is decided by whoever draws into more links. hearing this after how shit gd02 was has completely killed any hope for this game. at least I only spent like $100 on it

I want to get into Holoka but Bushi's handling of the localisation disgusts me.

>>97603095
Card games in general have a netdecking problem but it is especially horribly bad in Gundam. B/P was the simplest to build and pilot and big events were literal days after set release so it was just what got played in general, so it took a lot of top spots, so now it is what people play because it took so many top spots. It's very strong, annoying levels of consistency make it a legitimate pick and threat. Other decks are rising to beat it as people try new stuff, especially red focused decks, but they have a fairly natural ability to brick that B/P is resistant to. Gane does still have fucked balance, especially at the top end just for what series they allow to be good and which get straight up worse versions because they aren't moneymakers, but its not actually going to be B/P mirrors every match until May

>>97603187
The evolution and analysis of card game metas always fascinates me. Whether something is ever truly solved, how decks are crafted, the data driven approaches to it. It's always nice when a specific meta is allowed to exist frozen separately from the evolving game with enough players to still see new developments, or to confirm the state of things. Brings to mind when Hearthstone had a repeat of its original format for a while and we were able to confirm that yeah, Rogue was that busted in it.

This is not a very popular (In the sense of people posting about it) game, so I don't know how it plays or if it is cool.

Game wise Warhammer side games can be good like Warhammer Underworlds (skirmish miniature game with small warbands played on hexagonal grided map that uses Cards for objectives(victory points) and upgrades/interactions)

Historically warhammer had some cool card games like the w40k (and later horus heresy) ccg then the Fantasy Flight Games lcgs (40k conquest etc)

I hope you like the game tho.

>>97600812
Literally how? Who is playing this shit when you have to fucking spend $40 on base art SRs?

Should I buy 20kg of unsorted FoW cards for $80?

>>97603363
God Underworlds was kino during Nightvault/Beastgrave.

>>97602876
>Kanrik, a code, and Obelisk in 5 packs
Not a bad haul, all things considered. Bummer that TVW was sold out, but at least the game isn't getting scalped.

>>97603430
Depends on the shipping cost, I'd say.
It's obviously going to all be bulk, but it might be fun/cool bulk, especially if it's older cards with the better frame.

>>97587765
It's cause the national tournament is happening at the same time. That along with worlds are the biggest by far. If you don't play the game you can still go and do the learning events, they let you attend anyway.

>>97599668
There's a red Banshee? Okay, I'm going to try changing some cards to fit Amuro and other freeze cards.

>>97603430
20kg is what, three shoe boxes full of cards? That's not a whole lot, if they are only commons. They better be really unsorted and better have one rarity level above that too.

Wouldn't it make more sense to ban/limit Lfrit, Rick, and Zoworts instead of banning Amuro kek?

Luminous Selector?

>>97603779
Sorry, I phrased that confusingly. I meant "No matter what you play, Siege Ploy and Amuro are good blue cards to fuck blockers. If you are specifically playing red you get special access to Banshee that green players and purple players must look longingly at."

>>97604411
See, I don't think the seller knows. By looking at it and looking at other things he has up for sale (a bunch of YGO cards for cheap, 18 JP OP packs for 50 bucks), and based on the listing's description, it all points to the much memed scenario of "someone will find your cards after you're dead and have no idea how much they're worth". He appears to have simply found the collection, and I'd rather not get it into his head that there might be rare stuff worth more in it.

>>97603187
>Card games in general have a netdecking problem but it is especially horribly bad in Gundam.
both the frequency of netdecking and how much of a "problem" it is varies a lot by game. think it's got a lot to do with where game designers put the balance between how much deckbuild skill matters vs how much piloting skill matters. like if players can consistently take a netdeck that won something, go to a tournament and win themselves, then yeah you're going to have a fucking netdeck problem. if trying to use somebody else's deck usually fails, people netdeck less.
bandai games tend to be the ultimate "just turn your brain off bro" (at the table) tcg experience, so they suffer worse than most.

>>97601887
It's very good. The other guy is a sperg, the new format and precons have done a good job of getting people into the game and while hardcore players don't have too much of a reason to play SAGE outside of helping new players get into the game it still has a lot of value compared to blitz (i.e. LL heroes being available, lower power gives new life to cards that aren't used much/at all in CC). Also worth noting that SAGE will be supported at the competitive level at least for this year, so hardcore players are incentivized to keep their eye on it.

It's absolutely the best time to get into the game and FAB easily has the best foundation of any TCG if you value depth and high amount of interactions+decision making.

>>97604701
>SAGE will be supported at the competitive level
This, as always, is completely up to your local store. I know of 2-3 people max in my state who actually go to nationals or worlds and my major metropolitan area has 1 SAGE skirmish out of 10. CC whiners are killing the format here and refuse to go to the weekly because LSS' formerly gratuitous support has shrunk to the industry average so stores cannot afford to support both events equally.

>I hope you like the game tho.
I played it and IMHO it was pretty fun and the first session took us two hours to complete.

The card combo system is pretty good instead of relying on dice for random numbers.
The whole game is kinda like hold the line against a horde of chaos cultist

>>97603385
People that go outside, have a job and go to events so they have a chance to win prize cards that are worth 100x this Nami card

How is the sorcery tcg situation in europe? I'm looking around and it seems stores are having troubles/increased prices, I wanted to see if I could get my (lazy as fuck) lgs owner to get me some product since I have a fuckton of store credit I wouldn't otherwise use.

>>97605231
Some cards are pricy but many are reasonably affordable. There is a special set, which WotS are calling a ‘Capstone’ set which is more expensive but includes a bunch of reprints which should help with some prices.

One of the most in demand rare cards is Dungeon Guide and was about £20 a copy and running 4 was needed in most decks with a level 3 champion, but it’s getting a reprint in a precon deck coming out at the start of April.

Some of the community deck builders will give TCG player prices for available cards so it might be worth looking at decks on those.

Fractal of Insight is a good website to see what people are playing at big events.

That sounds expensive to me. Sure, it's getting a reprint, but my experience with other games says another card will take its place eventually.
I wouldn't mind if a whole deck was around $150 tho.

were you playing against human opponent or one of the pve monsters? advice is gonna be a little different depending.

her basic plan in both modes for precon is make a big fucking snake, then use hypnotize to swing unblockable for the one turn kill. get the snake out, keep it alive by guarding for it with mice and maeoni herself, protect it from spells with golden veil. there's two different unexhausts in there (refresh and transfer) so you can get multiple snake attacks per round. just go slow and focus on killing shit and growing the silver snake.

>stuffed late and being unable to fix my dice
unless you're totally out of cards, you can always meditate to fix dice faces. cards in deck, hand, or on the spellboard are all fair game. you're not locked out until you literally have nothing left. its basically always better to meditate than to not spend dice because you dont have the right faces.

no worry, extremely common first time mistake. the meditation mechanic is key to the dice not being super RNG and just fucking you.

the other big miss is forgetting you can guard once each round with the Phoenixborn. super important for maeoni to dive in front of an attack and keep snake alive.

I'm having fun learning with the two starter decks I found in storage. At the very least it's something different to enjoy. I'm a big fan of FF as a franchise so that helps too. I bought a booster box and an FFX (my favorite FF) starter set to learn with too. The two decks I had in storage are pretty old at this point so I wanted some more modern cards.
