"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"


I am a reckless fool, so I bought Millennium Blades. How can I best keep it organized, and hopefully retain a little sanity in the process?


Sorry, I know this has been asked before (so just a link to the posts will work) but I've been putting together stacks of money for over an hour and I think my brain is melting.

This does not account for the starter decks; those are in a separate baggie.

Yeah you can win the game without winning a tournament if you turn in big collections.

The other big thing is that it's all exception based design so unless you have something that lets you e.g discard a card you cannot discard a card.

They are going to errata the game with the next expansion to cap the amount of VP you can get from left over cash at the end of the game as you may as well do that from the start. Just cap it 5 or 10 VP or something.

Speaking of expansions, anything I should know about Set Rotation (other than "don't use it for your first several games")?

And what should one do to be remembered?
I absolutely love the UI of BattleCon Online, looking pretty good in general. I just don't know why they don't stick with the stat system Exceed used instead of this weird middle ground where they show Stun Guard but not Soak.

Is it just me or does the screenshot of the character select screen in the latest Battlecon Online update reveal three new characters? Specifically I'm talking about the two portraits next to Joal (first and third, third row) and the guy in between Vanaah and Zaamassal (second portrait, last row).

Also, does anyone have any idea what Null Seven's deal is? I'm interested to see what about her playstyle makes her unsuited to the physical game.

If you've already got it, you can add in the new core set cards to your store deck even if you don't play with any of the new expansions. I put it all together for my first games, the game itself is complex enough that a few extra cards won't tip it into confusing mess on their own. Honestly, the store deck ends up big enough that you might not even see any of Set Rotation's cards during play.

According to Ithry, Seven is like Cindra but even more so. I'm guessing a mix of Cindra and Zaamassal, 5 sets of styles or something like that.

To the left of Joal is Jion Erjon, Argent's student Honor Court Chief Justice (the b-side student candidate in the game). The portrait to the right I don't recognize.

The one between Zaamassal and Vanaah I don't recognize. The closest design I can think of is the Moon Cultist version of Vanaah, but that seems unlikely with her right there?

I opened it because of this post. Is MBL:Pocket Pro Tour just an entirely extraneous little bonus game? That's....awesome.

4 hours left in the Doomtown Reloaded Kickstarter. Only reason I'm bringing this up here is there are exclusive Millennium Blades cards that you can get. Don't even need to back the game; there's a $1 pledge for just the cards.

Finally got a chance to bust out Trials today, spent pretty much the entire day playing it. Burgundy is all I hoped for. I'm sad they don't appear to have any plans for making custom tuckboxes for the rest of the fighters, because man, I will shell out like hell for those.

One of the L99 folks said over in the Discord that they'd be putting out PDFs of the War and Fate tuckboxes, and then the Dev reprint would include them.

Heck yes.

My friend and I managed to have a go at all the Trials characters (excluding Merjoram I guess). As well as Burgundy, who I loved, I enjoyed Wardlaw and Dareios, Hayden was alright. Trias didn't really click for me though. Friend especially enjoyed playing Lucida. We both really liked Dodge and Force Gauge.

My Trials arrived in the UK.

I think Trials definitely has the largest number of characters I find aesthetically appealing, on top of having cards for everyone, dodge, and force tokens, so I finally have a single Battlecon box I can take with me to friends' places.

I'm so glad for the tuckboxes and I hope they sell them for War/Fate soon so I can get rid of my ugly white poker tuckboxes. :v:

Millennium Blades owns but I can't help but feel that 20 minutes for deckbuilding is kind of overkill when playing the 2p variant. Basically every round my opponent and I kinda looked at each other and agreed to get on with it at around the 15 minute mark, if that.

I'm pretty sure it mentions in the rules that you can change the deckbuilding phase time limits to suit your tastes, if you think they're too long or short.
