I just really hope the tuck boxes account for sleeves cards. Has is been Co firmed the deluxe box will come with previous tuck boxes?

I asked the question via Kickstarter and got confirmation: the tuckboxes will take sleeved cards and fit tokens, etc.

Some very important details from Brad in the comments:

  • Trials will initiate the changeover from Dash to Dodge.
  • Trials will also implement a revised Force Gauge.
  • All the canon stretch-goal characters from the Deluxe tier (Merjoram, Andrus, Rheye, etc) will be tournament legal, and will be available at retail "in one form or another" after the Kickstarter.
  • The Deluxe box may also be available after the KS, though they're still sorting out pricing. The box will be cheaper through the KS than retail, though.

I just wish they'd offer widescreen resolutions. It looks so low-rent and dated when it's like, 4:3 1024x768 or whatever they're doing. I mean, what is this, 1999?

Yeah, this is a major needs-errata interaction. Adjenna's ability needs to always trigger before Tanis's, or else the matchup is pointless. We've pestered Brad about it. Maybe he'll fix it one day.


So. L99 Thread. I know some people here are really passionate about Pixel Tactics. Does anyone want to buy a complete set? I have Deluxe, 1-5, all three minipacks, and all the KS promos. All in good to near-mint condition. It's a fine game, but it never hits the table over the other half-dozen Magic-but-better sci-fantasy card games in my collection, and it would be much more useful to me as rent.

...okay, it would be much more useful as Trials of Indines with the Collectors Box. Let's be real.

Personally, it should just be based on priority, they're both end of beat effects, so wouldn't whoever is faster go first?

That's how it currently works, to my understanding. This is why Tanis completely destroys Adjenna--Tanis has better priority than Adjenna, and so will be off the board before Adjenna's effect can petrify her >50% of the time.

If Tanis triggered on Recycle (like Marmelee), Adjenna would be able to put up a fight.

Oh, they made me play the second way, and it was terrible, mostly because we couldn't hit each other. we ended the fight at like 11:9

Dig the new cast for Trials. Think I'm going for the playmats even though I want some of the promo fighters I will also never use.

Like that they went back to tokens as it pleases my need for general uniformity. Also, resounding hell yes for tuck boxes that accommodate sleeves. Only one other game gives me worse sleeving nightmares.

War is 18, Fate and Trials are 10, so that's 38. Devastation is 30, so 68. Devastation Extended has Borneo and Juto, so 70 not counting stretch goals for Trials or anything else they have in the pipeline (like what's Wanderers? How many of these things are there that I don't know about?)

In other words, "a lot".

Aw, I thought it was already in the 80's. Wanderers is an upcoming Battlecon game with 10 fan-made characters that won some kind of contest and got selected.

So Trials isn't going to make $250k is it :( I think War remastered only brought in about $250k as well, and that had a much higher point of entry. drat, was looking forward to that box.

Even $140k may be a bit of a close call.

I feel like that'd be a better idea. Like, just launch it right after this one. Maybe have a tier or addon system to get promo characters you're missing, too.

War had a crapton of promos and a lot more people buying the whole package to catch up, this one's more conservative. Hoping for $140k though, I really want a print version of Rheye :|

In the comments on the Kickstarter Brad said he might run something else just for the box. At any rate I think we'll see it and I'm totally in for it.
