Any good decks using Turn A?
>>98329033ScoreZ anons have the highest testosterone levels
>>98329119I've heard it's over 9000.
>>98329054It slots in really well in an X/DX Moon deck due to its cost helping fuel the discard pile.
>>98329138Holy shit.... how much did those run you?
>>98329285A lot, but not as much as you'd think. I've been playing since the game launched and just never quit. The cards were much cheaper back in the day. These days, however, my decks and collection are worth an obscene amount of money. Picrel, for example, is my SWK Rush deck (almost perfectly foiled out and first edition) at the start of a game.
And yes, it does run three copies of Champion's Aura.
I also have a proper Broly Supreme deck with all the promos and whatnot, including four copies of the Ki Explosion judge promo . Here's part of the list.
>>98327196Welcome to the crab bucket, chum. In this house, we turn people who appreciate the same topic into jaded assholes, then we pit them against each other for sport. Half the fun is in stirring shit up until they're tearing each other limb from limb! It's a shitpost goes kinda place; where false flagging is so prevalent, you'll always wonder if it's a triple-cross.

>>98330336Is this Duel Masters stuff worth much? I occasionally think about my giant collection I had a retarded kid, think my mum tossed it when I moved out.
is the duel masters guy here? I want to know if you made progress in the simulator
>>98330336I've actually been playing the old shitty American shovelware games for Duel Masters. The presentation is complete ass but the game itself is better than I remember.Are there Japanese videogames that follow the actual show instead of Hasbro's shitty OCs?
Gundam banlist announced btw.
>>98329228Was talking about the new one
>>98329033Thank you for your hard work as always! >in FAB news jannies now need to pay into the ponzi scheme and get a mentor judge to sign off in order to run events for as few as 8 people depending on your locale and format (sage) lol>https://blog.judge.fabtcg.com/blog/2026/06/15/what-l2-actually-requires/
>>98331079This kills the little dude beat down
>>98331079>>98331393Amuro/white devil meta forever
>>98331393What's a good deck against that? I'm just starting I haven't even played my first tournament yet but still researching
>>98331429Justice blockers for a meta deck. B/R burn/pingers should be better against them now that they cant run all the vanilla 2/2s they want.
At my fifth convention in nine weeks. Day one was exhausting but fun. Found a random pack of Wyvern and Jyhad out in the wild, so I scooped them up just because.
>>98332872Are the Jyhad cards legal in VTES?
>>98332942According to my cursory look through some google results, yes.
>>98332942Can confirm (official judge), they're legal, but most of them received new texts, clarifications or changes.Never heard about Wyvern. I'm curious.
My camera sucks, but the cards are pretty.
>>98330801https://battlezone-3q4.pages.dev/This?
>>98333074>Never heard about Wyvern. I'm curious.nta but that's one of the og magic clones. came out within like a year of mtg dropping, rushed to market, before most people even heard of a TCG.it had some neat art but mostly only valued as a retro collectible now.
>>98333247>lose a shield on-summon and no shield trigger possible.Was this part of a wider strategy or is he just pack filler garbage?
does new gundam set has gundam reconquista no G cards yet?
>>98331079https://www.gundam-gcg.com/en/news/01_277.html>In regards to the present game meta, within which fast-paced blue-purple and blue-green decks have a strength advantage, we believe the game rules themselves may be a contributing factor, and we are looking closely at a possible fundamental rule change.Interesting to see they admit to fucking up the rules
>>98333247>manualDefinitely not
>>98333898When a series is being added they do a promotion for it. ZZ&83 are already confirmed for set6 and unfortunately there have been sets which only introd 2
>>98333326I don't know about that card specifically but there are archetypes around losing your own shields.
>>98333983Don't know if they changed the rules up for any of their games recently, but it made Naruto an actually good game back then. That game was a major fuckup on release though. Gundam seems too standard to merit an on the fly overhaul or benefit from one.
Having now finally played Earthborne Rangers, I'll reserve my judgement about wether it's good or not but that shit is not an acgI also tentatively did not think it was good but maybe that will change
>>98334496It's an Adventure Card Game not a Boring Gay Game. Take it up with the faggot OP who left in games no one plays and only invest in like Gaydam or Little Faggots
Gundam actually admitting they shat the bed so blatantly is something I've never seen from a card game. Banning fucking vanillas?? After a year of 0 power creep? How can Bandai be this incompetent.
Uh oh... Melty...
>>98335230There has been a bit of powercreep but it's just that the shield mechanics, or therelackof, 120% benefitted the aggro weenies. The biggest sin of the aggro weenies is just a lack of interaction, really.
>>98335230huuuuh wasn't white dominant and too good compared to other colors?
>>98335284GD03 and GD04 has given more than enough weapons for all the colours to more than hold their own.>Red Neo Zeong>Purple/white Destiny/Impulse system>White/Blue Unicorn Awakened>Green Zeong/OYW>Blue Green OYW>Red Blue Ping>purple vulture with DX top end>Blue Victory engineetc etc. Okay variation in meta if you take out the aggro stuff.
>>98335319k thx>>98335268when I first learned zbout gundam and its rules I thought you were supposed to destroy all the enemy's unit before being able to break a shield. but I was wrong and it is so easy to win lmao busted game
damn these look nice
>>98336134I disagree
>>98334496>that shit is not an acgIt is defined as a card game, so that's just like your opinion. They had to make a boardgame version of it so normies didn't get scared off by commitment and book keeping.
>>98336134side booba
>>98333092dope
>>98336214of course you disagree.
>>98330801>>98333247Another new DM sim, but it's only from set 1-12 (fully automated though). Hopefully it will completely replace shobu.io: https://duel-masters.onrender.com/
>>98334496ayo yall cracka ass is raycisearfborn KANGS be livin in dat eco-utopia free from dem evil caucasoids an shietayo HEAL NATUREayo KEEL YT
Duel Masters was probably my favorite tcg to play when I was a kid, shame it died in the west. How does the game play currently?
>>98337079I think you can ftk first turn.. not sure>>98336766thaks very much!
>>98336134they don't
>>98334215>blows up 1 shield at each start of turn>If you/opponent's total shield is <=6, all your red/black cards have speedattack (haste) and slayer (deathtouch)>On-attack if a player has no shields(??), put a red or black from graveyard to hand, then play a cost 4 or less black or red for free.That much shit on a 3 drop is insane to my boomer ass. I guess that's what 20 years of powercreep and changing game design philosophy will do that.Was picrel even relevant in its block/era?
Been trying to nail down an aesthetic for the main characters of set 1 before I get in touch with an actual artist>browsing fiverr>now I have to be afraid of whoever I hire just using ai
>>98337452The individual portraits better represent what I'm going for. I think modern foiling will go really well with art deco patterns

https://x.com/PF666O/status/2075906062495191117Someone spotted ikeda chiming in on this >>98333983
>>98337751kek
>>98337328>Was picrel even relevant in its block/era?As far as I can tell, not really.It's got impressive power + double breaker for its cheap cost, but it puts you closer to death, so it's a very risky play.If you play it turn 3, the speed attacker/slayer thing will happen turn 4 at earliest (you've lost 2 shields from its effect + you finally attack with it for a double break on your opponent, assuming they don't block).The free cost 4 thing on attack will happen even later than that, when either your opponent or you are one hit away from death anyway.Basically it doesn't do a whole lot unless played in the late game, where it being cheap barely matters because there are probably stronger options that you have the mana for.It seems like it would specifically only be good within its archetype (intentionally killing your own shields for some benefit). That archetype isn't very relevant right now; I think it has been in the past, and it might be more relevant in the future with more support. For context, that card was released in a yearly set that usually releases new support cards for older archetypes.
>>98338605>legacy supportHow does rotation work in Duelma? I assumed it would just be like MTG where every year or two shit rotates out. Is that not the case?
>>98338704There's no rotation big dog.
>>98338704There are three main formats played competitively. Two of them are eternal formats (use any card minus bans): Original and Advance. The difference between those two is whether they allow extra deck zones (super GR and hyperspatial).The other one is 2-Block Constructed, which only allows cards that have been printed in the two most recent blocks (years worth of cards). Cards count as being part of the block if they have the block icon in the bottom right. Usually this is just core sets (RP) and not extra sets (EX) but there are some exceptions.To qualify for the biggest Duema tournament in Japan (全国大会, translated to "National Tournament" I guess), players have to win their regional tournament (or just place high, I don't remember). The regional tournaments and smaller store tournaments to qualify for the regional are usually 2-Block Constructed, while the National Tournament itself is Original and Advance. So basically to be a top pro Duema player, you need to both be good at 2-Block for your regionals and eternal formats to actually win the big tourney.
>>98338933全国大会 is nationals, yeah. That's pretty consistent across Japanese everything.Two more questions from my boomer ass:What are the extra deck mechanics and how do they work?What's an example of a card that's still relevant in eternal? From playing these old shovelware games it really doesn't look like DuelMa has any equivalent of MTG's power nine. Holy Awe is the only one I see potentially being close but it being a 6 drop seems like it'd disqualify it from anything relevant unless mana ramp got good over the decades.
>>98334496>>98335154It is a "boardgame" that uses cards. It is in the same category of the deck building card games. It is closer to Arkhan Horror LCG than it is to Gundan Card Game (or other bandai slop)(anyway Earthborne rangers look like shit either way)

Back home after the convention. Five cons in nine weeks is too much. I've had an absolute blast, but I'm so very tired. My friend and I were considering going to another one at the beginning of September, but we need a break. Are there any conventions that are particularly acg-focused? I appreciate all the kittycat Pokémon cards, but I'm so sick of only seeing Pokémon, MtG, and One Piece everywhere I go. (Did YGO fucking die or something?)As an aside, why does my sweat smell different? That's weird. I hopped in the shower immediately, but it was noticeable enough to really catch my attention.
>>98342639>spoilerIt changes based on what you eat usually, did you eat any broccoli or onions/garlic recently?
>>98339889>What are the extra deck mechanics and how do they work?There's the hyperspatial zone which is 8 double-faced cards that you can play through the effects of regular cards (eg. effects that say something like "put [into the battle zone] a creature from your hyperspatial zone that costs 5 or less"). It was introduced in 2010 and has had decent support over the years.There's also the super GR (gacharange) zone which is 12 face-down cards (GR creatures) that you summon through cards that tell you to "GR summon", where you just flip over the top of the GR zone deck, summoning that creature. It's from 2019 and apparently was pretty unbalanced when it was first introduced. It doesn't get much support.>What's an example of a card that's still relevant in eternal?For actual English cards, all I can think of is Faerie Life as a simple ramp spell. There are some power crept sidegrades (Faerie Re:Life, Mendelssohn) but I think the original still sees use.If English Duel Masters lasted just one more year, it would have had Heaven's Gate (pic related). Heaven's Gate has entire archetypes built around it that still continue to be relevant today. I see Heaven's Gate as a sort of "power level benchmark" by the DM developers. It's a very powerful spell and effect, and it almost defined the modern meta of almost every deck trying to cheat out big creatures early, but I find it interesting that no other card or effect that does a similar thing to Heaven's Gate is ever more powerful than Heaven's Gate (for the same cost); at best they're a sidegrade. Like even though power creep is always gonna be a thing, Heaven's Gate sets a hard limit on power creep at least for shield triggers and "putting creatures for free" effects.
>>98342765Oh, perhaps that's all it was. I ate a ridiculous amount of onions the night prior at a Mexican restaurant.Thank you, anon.
>>98341931Anon, you are old. ME3 was released 14 years ago...
What do >(you) think the gundam meta looks like if they had the balls to ban Amuro and one out of like a half dozen by now white devils?
>>98343540>The original Duel Masters trading card game officially debuted in Japan on May 30, 2002. Following its success, the card game flopped in North America on March 5, 2004
>>98343019Is that:>shield trigger>place two non-evolution light blockers into the battle zone for free?My JP is OK/10 but I can (usually) read TCG text OK.
>>98335230All they needed to do was to print some level 1 or 2 weenie removal. Maybe even a level 4 sweeper for weenies. I do like the games I've played since the change to be fair.
>>98343641I just started, basically only have a modified green purple CB deck. I played some decks with 8-12 lv2 1 cost and it was honestly super boring. The change has helped make the game more engaging. From my very little experience I can see londo bell being very good going into set 5.
>>98343641We'd actually have a more balanced aggro, midrange, and late game decks if they just ban/nerf Amuro and Kira.
>>98342170Scalpers are putting mangas on slaps lmaoWe will probably see a tcg deflation in the next years as the investors are looking into the next big scam.
>>98346017Shame we never got the standalone version of this. I'd play some Epic, Japan.
>My oshi just made a rough sketch for promo art of herselfToday was a good day
>>98342639>Five cons in nine weeks is too muchsounds like it>re there any conventions that are particularly acg-focused?cons where?theres gencon in a month which usually has a good amount of acgs
>>98346716>cons where?USA, preferably.>gencon I'll have to check that out. Thanks!>in a monthPerhaps next year, then. We were considering going to Dragoncon at the beginning of September, but even that is just too soon. We had a great time at the ones we attended, but I think we went a bit overboard with it. On the last day of the con this weekend I just wanted to crawl into a corner and sleep.
Realized I'm just repeating myself. I'm going back to bed. I cannot brain right now.
Any thoughts on the upcoming Hellbreak TCG? I don't normally do card games, but I like horror so I was thinking of picking it up, if only to collect and not play. Art seems nice. Starter box being Dracula vs a fucking Shark is hilarious.
>>98344095Yep. It's doesn't matter what their cost is, just as long as they're non-evolution light blockers.
>>98347228Looks cool. Using familiar horror movie icons over generic monsters feels refreshing too
So I bought the Proving Grounds box for Riftbound to play with 2 other friends and we found it pretty fun. We want to continue playing it but very casual like while building other decks and we have two paths we can take itShould I make all the later decks the same power level as the decks on the box (decks are semi inconsistent and have vanilla creatures and some just straight up shit cards) or should I upgrade the 4 decks it came with (decks still won't be over $30-$40) and then use that as the new standard to make them all more consistent?Basically is this game more fun with kitchen table shit or when the decks can more consistently so what their gameplay is?
>>98347352I don’t think Riftbound is good for kitchen table/casual play. If you don’t buy the good expensive cards legends will have an even bigger impact than they have in a competitive setting. Proving Grounds Yi will just win all your games because his power is that much better.
>>98347576Even in a multiplayer setting? It would be mostly a 3-4 player thing that we bring out at gatherings.If that's the case then it's kinda fucked both ways right? If I build, say, a Zed or Poppy deck and make them the same power level as the proving grounds deck, the Yi deck will still straight up be better?But at the same time if I upgrade the proving ground decks by say adding an orange Fiora or a Twisted Fate to Annie or a Viktor to Garden, then the Yi deck will still dominate even though the other decks have more tools to do their thing?
i really tried to delude myself into thinking that fab could be an enjoyable game, but because of the blocking mechanic being on the wrong side of tempo means you're trapped in a negative feedback loop for many turns watching cool plays go to waste, it's too muchglad i quitfuck fab
>>98347228Looks fun. I like some of the things it is doing, between how resources stay and how lane battles work. Creatures having a secondary set of actions to perform instead of attacking is neat too.
>>98347949It's different when there's classes that get pampered and rewarded if they block, or they get an entire second hand and free resources to play with. Besides that there's ranger that if they don't shoot tall arrows every single turn, with debilitating effects, and must also go wide to get around their blocks or minions, all while having enough resources to buff, load, draw and or pay high costs, then they fall behind in the race to knockout. Literal worst class in the game, and as you can see, it's because they're the most fiddly of any of the others. Fab's fucked, I say. In before someone bootlicks LSS because I was critical of them again.
>>98347228It feels like there's a new TCG coming out every week lol.Apparently the 90's was the same?
>>98347664Idk about multiplayer I never tried it >orange Fiora… to AnnieYou can cheat against your friends if you want kek. Annie is a good deck btw (Twisted Fate isn’t played in it the card isn’t good) but 3 Kaisa is mandatory to get some card draw.A 2 cost unit in Yi trades with a 4 drop, a 4 drop with a 6 drop. Unless the Yi is made unplayable (no T1, T2, no discipline/en garde) I don’t see how a deck made of bulk cards can beat it no matter the legend.
Love you, Condemned-anon, as well as the numerous anons who have shared cards with me. The discordfags will never truly understand the love you've all shown me here.(And blah blah discord bad blah blah. I don't disagree, but some of them have been kind to me, as well. It's fun to share the collection that you all started.)
Gay
>>98349220The early 2000s were worse. Any movies and TV shows midly popular had their TCG. Who the fuck asked for shit like Survivor and Austin Powers TCG?
>>98349316Very much so ^_^>>98349333Survivor... could actually work in a multiplayer setting? Maybe? Did they really make a tcg?>Austin PowersAbsolutely based on sheer principle. I've seen the cards posted here before, and I'd definitely at least try it.
>>98347233last question before I stop shitting up the thread and we all return to our regularly scheduled FuckFAB/etc.:Are any of the JP-only games good? I'm a big fan of the old yugioh video games for example, so even if it's just a basic duel sim with AI to beat up I can probably play it to completion.
>>98349350>Did they really make a tcg?Yeah and it’s a 1v1 game
>>98349430>YeahAlright, fair enough.>it’s a 1v1 gameFucking retards missed the point of their own game.
>>98349350>Austin PowersIt was a very silly game, best played in teams. You have a good deck and an evil deck, and both sides had a series of 'reaction' cards where the good players would flash a peace sign, and everyone would have to match them, and the last person would suffer the effect of the card, while the evil team would raise their pinky finger to their mouth the way Dr. Evil does.
>>98349653That actually sounds fun.
>>98350020It's not bad, but it gets old kinda fast. My friends and I only bought 2 starters and a few boosters, but we felt like we got our money's worth if fun out of them.
>>98347949>having to block STEALS my gameplay!>arrgh my feefees>i don't feel empowered right now>save me mark rosewater aieeeeeThis dogshit mindset is really common, huh?
>>98349270Ah I meant orange Fiora to Yi and just adding more burn cards like TF to Annie. But I see where you are coming from.It would be mainly multiplayer we play so maybe that will have some checks and balances.If everyone knows that the Yi deck is bullshit maybe there can be teamwork to take it down. I'll think about it
Look at this dude.
Which /acg/ deck list should I post first?
>>98351143FoW
I'll show you mine if you show me yours :3

>>983517824/4 (stones and rulers)
>Condemned CCG guy sent cards including a signed one to a literal self-admitted pedophileDoes he just want his game to have 0 percent chance of breaking out of here?.... To be fair I haven't heard about it in ages so maybe he gave up
>>98351785That deck looks cool as hell, anon. Thank you for sharing!>>98351827You are silly, anon.
>>98351889Thanks! I'm working on getting all of it signed by the artists. It's about 40% at this point.
>>98351726Did you get the new cats from masterpiece 3?
>>98351967Omg, I hadn't seen those! Been out of the loop on FoW. I absolutely need those! Thank you for pointing them out.
>>98351827This general is really that fucked I'm afraid. It's why I stopped trying to post here at all.
>>98351196Memory Witch
>>98349404I've played a little bit of the PS2 one and it seems pretty cool. It's basically just the same era of cards as the English games though (I think around DM-12 or something).It would have been cool if they made more games for later eras, but instead there's just the mobile gacha game, which unfortunately is a mobile gacha game.
>>98351889Not sure how its silly to simply notice
>>98351827>>98352374i mean put it this way.you can definitely identify the people who are from here from the tourists.not hard to tell which you are
>>98352486Ah that's unfortunate. Yugioh at least kept their shovelware game line going until about 2012.Well, I'll give this a shot if I can track it down (legally or otherwise). Thanks!
>>98353174which are?
>>98351143do duel masters now
>>98352386That looks like a fun deck. How's it hold up in the current meta?
>>98353174>DOOD... YOU JUST HAVE TO BE OK WITH THE GUY WHO POSTS CATS AND IS AN OUTSPOKEN PEDOPHILE BECAUSE.... BECAUSE FUCKFAB THAT'S WHY
>>98351768Whats ABC?
>>98353639>>98351827Do you have actual proof he's a pedophile or are you one of those "liking loli makes you a pedo" retards (and if so, do you have proof he likes loli anyway)?
>>98350803ok, now what?
I'm still working on The Condemned, just not nearly as much until I can get more income coming in. I'm focusing on local game stores for the time being and local conventions. Claim: Mine Rush has been published and shipped, and now I'm working on another card game. It's entered in the Indie Showcase at 2D Con next month. I'm hoping to get some publisher attention there, maybe an award or two. It's called Boshin Sensou, and it's named after the Japanese civil war of the same name. The goal was to capture the soul of an RTS in a Magic-lite format. It's not an ACG, it's more of a board game that just happens to use cards. Picrel, one of the cards.>>98349309Okay, this was a nice thing to stumble upon. Thanks for that.>>98342639If you were at Origins in June, there's a non-zero chance we crossed paths. I was there with Speedrobo Games, selling the Claim: Mine Rush game I mentioned above. They also launched a magical girl Duel Masters-style game called The Caster Chronicles. If you're looking for new acgs, this might be up your alley. The Japanese name for the game literally translates to "Magical Girl Duels". I met one of the Japanese devs at Origins. She's good people.
It would seem I can't post the picture. That's unfortunate...
Let's try this pic, see if it works...
>>98333092What are these, anon? I really like the look of them.
>>98354230I was not at Origins, unfortunately. I tend to make my presence rather known, lol, what with the catstuff, cat binder, and extremely extroverted behavior. >Caster ChroniclesThe relaunch of the old card game? (Picrel) Or something else?>>98354307Put a kitty in it somewhere. ^_^
>>98354379Wyvern CCGDefinitely some fantastic art.
>>98353554I think it's a rogue deck in the current format. I find it to be pretty strong, but it's not very popular, so there isn't much information or many top finishes with it.>>98353391Sike, It's Kaijudo. Water/Light Tempo deck that I topped with right before the game died.
>>98354380>The relaunch of the old card game?One and the same! They just finished their Kickstarter backer fulfillment. I've designed some deck boxes for them, with the official blessing of TCG Co.
>>98354230At what point did you trademark your stuff?
>>98354610The only thing I can realistically trademark is the logo. I can claim copyright on the artwork I commissioned, but trademarking artwork is silly and frightfully expensive. Once I had a logo and was ready for marketing, that was the point in time where I trademarked the logo. Could I have done so earlier? Probably. Should I have? Maybe?
>>98354600>I've designed some deck boxes for themThat's pretty cool. Can you share what you worked on?Also, tell them to reprint the fucking Cats Collection from the original Caster Chronicles, because I can't find a single copy anywhere, and I've been looking for years.
>>98354795>Can you share what you worked on?Not yet as it's not publicly available, but the files will be on the SRG website soon.>tell them to reprint the fucking Cats Collection from the original Caster ChroniclesMessage relayed.
>>98354626Interesting, is that because the game is just titled Condemned? Have you considered a subtitle like magics The Gathering
>>98354795Update: I talked with the owner of Speedrobo. He is in complete agreement that the Cats Collection is wonderful and he can't wait for it to come out. He didn't have much else he can say at this point. I do know that they have access to a fucking huge pile of cards, so it's probably safe to assume that it is in the release schedule at some point in the timeline.>>98355498Trademark law is a very weird thing. You can trademark a name, but only in specific instances. Before registering the trademark, I had to make sure there wasn't anything like it. Turns out, there was a team in the WWE called "The Condemned" in the mid-2010s, but Vinny let the trademark expire. Technically, my trademark is for "The Condemned CCG" and the logo associated with it. And the logo specifically is what I can go after for copyright and trademark infringement.
>>98354380Nice tum.
>>98355702>Update: I talked with the owner of Speedrobo. He is in complete agreement that the Cats Collection is wonderful and he can't wait for it to come out.Holy shit, I was joking about contacting them, but that's awesome. Didn't realize you actually had the capability.They make the kitties, they get my money. Them's the rules, lol.>>98355811For sure. Ran Berfield a cute.
>>98355862What can I say? I got connections.
>>98353999Who's the tourist now? He self dox'd himself ages ago.
>>98355702I've been looking in to trademark law myself for my own game. My title name is a common word but with my subtitle it would be unique. I read that it could help put a disclaimer for the title word but get the trademark for the whole game name.

>old Kanrik from neopets was a cool edgy guy from the thieves' guild who ended up warming up to the hero Hannah and eventually becomes her friend>neopets tcg reboot makes him look faggy, soft colors make him lose intimidation the old art had, no longer looks untrustworthy, just some grumpy dog >makeship plush just goes full fag mode, no frowning allowed, you WILL smile for the camera, marketable plushie. And NO weapon for you!They took my man's aura Wallahi it's over, downfall of my favorite Neopets character man
>>98356159I actually like the new art.The plushie does seem unfortunate, though.
>>98355973IANAL, but including "card game" or something similar in the title would help you with giving your trademark a unique identity. Consider asking a trademark or copyright lawyer for some best practices. They might be able to help steer you in the right direction.
