I think in this day and age errata should be something that is used a bit more liberally. In particular, I want to see more companies using it to buff cards that are too weak to make them better. Right now, errata is almost always synonymous with nerf and I'd like to see it used to make cards that never see play enhanced. This is especially important when it seems like FFG know their meta is too long between new cards and when the new cards don't do anything to fix the problems a Clan is already facing.

What's the best core set LCG you've seen? I'm thinking the options are 1/3 playsets like FFG does, 1/2 playsets like doomtown, or full playsets like VS.

Shadowfist: Combat in Kowloon is the best LCG core set because it has everything you need in it.

Hey recently got back into GoT online Timing question: I am rhe first player. I have I Am No One in hand and two eligible targets. In precisely what timing window do I play it for the first challenge? And for the second?

StashAugustine posted:Hey recently got back into GoT online You would play it in the window before declaring first challenge. I am no one makes the target character stay standing when declared for a challenge so there would be reduced benefit for playing it after declaring a challenge because your target would already be knelt.

K. Is there a window after marshalling but before declaring the challenge? Throneteki is weird about it.

Ok I'm just getting confused about the way it does timing, looked it up and it makes sense now. On a related note: are the premade intro decks worth using, either against randoms or each other?

On a related note: are the pre-made intro decks worth using, either against randoms or each other? I wouldn't use the pre-made intro decks against randoms. They are okay, but not very consistent as they have many 1 ofs. I think they are fine against each other as I think they were made to be balanced. If you want some meta decklists, I have a few, but they are a bit dated as I haven't attended a tournament since February. Just message me or let me know if you don't have messaging.

FFG just announced a Marvel themed Co-op LCG: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2019/7/31/marvel-champions/ I didn't know they had the Marvel license so that's cool.

I'm not a huge fan of Marvel but I have such faith in FFG making fun co-op games that I'm getting this when it launches. The core set being a full play set seems super rad too, as I never get more than one core.

This fall... October? I think they had announced two monthly releases before 2020. What annoys me is that the first campaign expansion comes out... Sometime. I'd have thought it would be out relatively soon so people don't burn out.

So did ffg abandon the digital medium or something because I was really looking forward to maybe playing the Arkham Horror lcg without having to deal with the actual card handling exercise. LOTR releases seem slow as hell too.

"FFG” posted:In addition, although previous Living Card Game Core Sets required multiple purchases to get a complete set of cards, Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce that just one Marvel Champions: The Card Game Core Set will give you a complete set of cards, giving you everything you need to customize your heroes! ...aaaaaaand those are the magic words that will get me to take the plunge on my first LCG! I’ve been intrigued by the premise for a while, but all the existing games are so many expansions deep it felt like a huge investment to try and catch up. Getting in on the ground floor with a licence I dig feels like the perfect starting point.

LOTR digital is basically dead in the water. I think since March they’re released one expansion and one extra quest, both of which I played through within a few days, and there aren’t nearly enough card combinations to make multiple playthroughs genuinely fun yet. I remain hopeful, but it certainly doesn’t bode well.

The second expansion they're doing in 2019 is more villains (after Captain America). I think I read somewhere it's Thanos's villains?

Yeah, and I think they were stuck between a rock and a hard place in a sense with LOTR digital. If they just ported the tabletop version of LOTR into digital, which, I agree, would probably have made a better product overall, they would've gotten a lot of complaints from people about paying for something they already owned and I'm sure it would've been harder to monetize. The solution they opted for, though, just comes across as kind of half-assed. I actually forgot about the game for a few months until a couple of weeks ago, and when I checked in they'd done a superficial redesign of the interface and added one quest, which basically added no extra replay value.

Is this true though? Do people complain that MTGA means that they're double dipping on Magic? Do people say this about any digital ports of board games? They would have been expanding the market to people who don't want to bother with the physical hassle of building decks or waiting for a specific expansion to be restocked or whatever. Half the reason I stopped playing is because I didn't want to spend 10 to 15 minutes to set up an encounter deck, plus however much time to make my player deck, when I should just be able to click click because it's 2019. The issue is that instead of just porting a known and very well liked game, they're now essentially designing a new game (which I imagine got more backlash than any potential outcry over double dipping) , and the numerous patches that fix cost and whatnot show that there's a nonzero amount of work that needs to be done. Like wotc isn't a software company either, but MTGA shows that it's possible to port your game, expand your audience, and maintain a paper audience (although they do seem to be trying their best to kill paper Magic).

I like the resource mechanic, but the way that Black Panther works seems.... bad? Maybe it'll play better in practice, but having having a bunch of low-quality cards that become above average with an enabler seems less good than just doin' stuff.

His Upgrade cards don't do anything at all. He has 7 copies of Wakanda Forever (7/40 with the draw rates they went through seem good). So, as the game goes on, he ramps and ramps until Wakanda Forever becomes this beast of a card. Both he and Iron Man seem to lean heavily on ramping.

Honestly the reason this thread exists is because there isn't enough interest to keep stand alone LCG threads alive with FFG's release schedule. I'd keep it here unless (somehow) this game blows up to ANR levels. It'll rot otherwise.

At least they know that's the problem. If I were trying to compete with FFG I would do it almost solely on consistent releases. They are trying to solve a problem of their own making before anyone else can get to it.

Every LCG scene I've been a part of (4 now) died from FFG's inconsistent release schedule. Going 2-3 months between releases when they were supposed to be monthly meant people took breaks. And for every person who took a break, others were less incentivized to go to the weekly meetup. And when the new packs came out not everyone would return. I'd much rather they commit to every 2 months consistently than every month inconsistently.

Arkham is the one game that would benefit from the l5r release schedule (myself I make my purchases twice per cycle), I'm perpetually astounded they went with it for an actual competitive game instead.
