I just found out that there's a Game of Thrones version of Jinteki at https://www.theironthrone.net It's not as good as jinteki, but it works for getting my fix in since I can only find games like twice a month at best.

https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2017/6/14/masters-of-war/ Lion Spoilers are up. Looks fairly interesting and distinct from Crane (the other "combat" faction), more focused on big pushes and expendable armies. I like the theme of sticky big dudes with a bunch of expendable smaller ones. Edit: IMGUR of cards spoiled: https://imgur.com/a/qZDDb For those who are at work.

Picked up AGoT LCG, played one match with the recommended starter decks with a friend, and immediately went out and bought the second core set. Thanks, thread, this game is astounding! I'm sure it's been brought up before & I'm going to dig, but if anyone has it off hand: What's the best website to look up some decks to play around with? I am going to create as many house decks as I can and have them all ready for my friends!!

Enjoy the card pool slowly so you can get the experience of the game and factions growing and being fleshed out.

Bottom Liner posted:Thronesdb.com That's my plan! Especially since I just bought a 3rd core set....  I found this set of 5 starter faction decks I'm gonna begin with, then I'll do some digging on Thronesdb: https://www.reddit.com/r/AgameofthronesLCG/comments/5xdaef/looking_for_2_balanced_simple_straightforward/ Let me know if those 5 look trash.

Tyrell is getting the next AGoT big box expansion: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2017/6/20/house-of-thorns/ The maester agenda looks pretty interesting.

I'm not sure where to ask this, but it's concerning a LCG (specifically Arkham Horror LCG). I'd like to get some custom cards for AH printed for my buddy's birthday in a few months that meet the quality that the normal cards for the game are made to. Any idea where I would go for something like that? I'm still planning everything out, but the printing was something I was unsure on. Any suggestions are appreciated!

It's too bad that the "Flickering" mechanic looks to just be on Mace. I always liked that mechanic in Magic and would love to see some more cards using it in aGoT2e.

Mace and the new Margery both look really good (she's the first character with three versions in this edition, right?). I'd daresay that Tyrell may soon rival Lannister in terms of character power. That passive power gain on Mace could be interesting, might lead to another annoying do-nothing style deck. Also the new 2 for 2 limited location is interesting, gives them a ton of options for econ. Also like the Maester agenda, could see that competing with Fealty for decks that otherwise don't really have a natural agenda as adding Cressen and Aemon seems strong. Although putting in 12 may be a bit taxing. I'm sure the order was determined a long while ago, but it's kinda odd to see Tyrell be next. I would've expected Bara. Really hope Martell is next because they could still use a lot of help.

BJPaskoff posted:Following up on my own post, I've been playing a ton of VS System and it's really fun. I love how the main set gives you a playset of every card and a sturdy-as-hell box to keep everything in with room for all the expansions. It's such a solid game that I'm willing to look past the fact that I don't really like comic book stuff. I love the Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy movies, which makes me really happy that I've put together a deck with most of my favorite characters and a bunch of Aliens and it plays really well. There's fourteen people who play at my LGS, which is fourteen more people than play any other LCG at the shop (also, fourteen more people than play constructed Magic there Oh hey, another person that plays VS. I'm a little worried about the quality of design due to some of the stuff in Legacy but I also only play once a week with my one friend and we just pick different MCs to build around instead of trying to refine competitive decks.

Oh man the Maester agenda looks fun. Mace is beastly, and Margery looks strong too. Really hope the Knights rush deck gets some good synergy too, that's one of my favorite decks for the silly poo poo it can do.

Yeah, Thor is OP right now. The last two major events have been six Thor decks and two anti-Thor decks in the top 8, and Thor was about 50% of the field. There are MCs that people just can't play because they auto-lose to Thor. What surprises me is that people are just going "Just play anti-Thor decks, git gud!". In Magic, if a deck was dominating and invalidating loads of other strategies, players would be screaming for a ban and it would happen. Jessica Jones is a super powerful card that goes in almost any deck, but at least there's ways around her such as lethal characters.

In Magic, if a deck was dominating and invalidating loads of other strategies, players would be screaming for a ban and it would happen. I just don't know what they were thinking designing a six health, flying, self-buffing mc with a direct damage ability. While everyone was assuming Thor would be the new avengers mc I was thinking that they couldn't print him with the same lighting strike ability as his sc because. But here we are! JJ is pushing it but any deck that really depends on playing yellow can probably work around her. Although making characters of her power level in a game with relatively few deckbuilding restrictions can lead to goodstuff.dec like the 2nd place Thor deck at the UK tournament.

The quality was very similar to the real Descent cards, and indistinguishable when sleeved. Fairly expensive though (41.95 plus shipping for 252 cards).

A L5R LCG mod has been posted up for Tabletop Simulator. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=932563955 Only 2 Clans revealed to a playable point still but we get Dragon later this week. Going to test some tonight if anyone is interested.

StashAugustine posted:Well I just decided to teach myself and I'm already doing kinda okayish. It's a change from being straight loving garbage at Conquest If you still want some teaching, I'd be glad to sometime this weekend. Conquest has some stuff going on that I always thought was counter-intuitive and it's also easy to put yourself in blowout situations which I don't think is nearly the case with GoT. Also I think you can tag your games as either casual or learning online which I recommend (two of the better decks currently are pretty non-interactive and require very specific counters to beat). And if anyone does drop the Viper combo deck or Builders in a casual/learning game, feel free to call them an rear end and disconnect. Spookyelectric posted:My L5R fiction went up today. Feels pretty good, I missed writing for L5R. I'm gonna end up buying into this dumb game just for the presentation/lore. I will say I was probably more pleased than I should've been that they decided to keep a lot of the original characters.

I would like to get into a LCG,and it would be my first ever one...I bought Call of Cthulu and Arkham Horror but they seem kind of intense in knowing what you have to do. is the best thing I should do is kind of brute force through either or those? Or is there a more "begginner" LCG I should stick too? Thanks guys

Call of Cthulu is dead and no one plays it anymore so idk about it, Arkham Horror is good and it's solo/coop so you don't have to be up on the meta or anything.
