There are some Bell Tower cards that, if not available, can cause issues. For example, if the healing Bell Tower isn't in the mix, it's quite possible to get your students stuck in the infirmary with no alternative but to dig through the item or spell decks and hope you can get a means to heal. The one that grants influence is another game-changer depending what rooms are in play. But the absence of healing can be a big issue if it doesn't come up.

I mean some times people build based around wounding students, sure, but it's not like they're stuck in the infirmary for the rest of the game without healing.

Alien Rope Burn posted:I thought you needed some way to get them out? Nah, when you resolve the students at the end of each round and bring them back to your player board, you also return anyone that was in the infirmary to your player board also. I misplayed that the first couple games I played.

I misplayed that the first couple games I played. Same. The rulebook doesn't do the most clear job of explaining this but it's addressed in the FAQ, anyone on the infirmary at the end of a round comes back to you, otherwise you could very quickly wind up with multiple players who hardly have any students within a couple few rounds of play judging by past games where destructive magic flies fast and thick.

Yeah, extra heals are a boon if people are sniping your dudes, but that is meta dependent.

The start player bell tower card is an important one - if that doesn't show up, player order never changes, which can be harsh in some situations.

The one house rule we made whenever Argent came out at game night at the FLGS was that the initiative bell tower card was a constant, then the other four cards were randomized.

Wanted the second edition of Argent but was dissuaded by ridiculous shipping costs? Well, here's some good news for you! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/level99games/argent-the-consortium-2nd-ed/posts/1953578?ref=backer_project_update (TLDR: Some reward tiers now get free shipping to certain countries / the EU)

Semi related (if you're in the US): I am selling my copy of Argent + Expansion + Summer Break for $60 + shipping. Grabbing this off me will will allow you to back at the $28 dollar level to get the upgrade pack and come out cheaper than the $120 for everything.

Battlecon question - do abilities that say they copy from a base or style also copy from a finisher? For example, I had a game the other night where my opponent was playing Cherri, whose unique base takes the priority value of her opponent's base. If I play my finisher, does it take the finisher's priority, or is it 0?

To clarify: finishers are complete attack pairs without any styles or bases. If you copy stats from the pair, you get them, but there's no style or base to copy from, so you get a 0.

If that's promo pack 5, it will debut at Gencon, then go on sale on their webstore shortly thereafter.

Where do most people play BattleCon online these days? I went through the archived posts to look at old threads, but it seems PBF has died off. I've dabbled a bit on TTS but most of the time I don't see anyone on there or the lobby is locked.

It orginally said it would ship in June, but now it says August. I was just wondering if anyone had picked it up or heard any other news about it.

Sorry if this is addressed somewhere in the thread but has level99 nixed the PnP stuff? I can't find it anywhere. I found out a friend of mine has Fate so we can try it out but I'm still curious as to what happened to those files. Also, 7th Cross sounds sweet, I can't wait to see how it plays.

That sucks, I had bought a couple digital art books. e: Sorry, it's battleconnection.com, not battlecon. But it looks like they're redoing the site, I guess.

So is Eustace just terrible in Battlecon? Everytime I've seen him played he gets crushed. It seems like if you lose even one beat you get punished super hard and it's impossible to recover.
