Question about the LotR LCG: If I have enough quest points to finish a quest, and I have some leftover, do they spillover onto the next quest? Couldn't find anything in the rules.

Paper Kaiju posted:I think my take away from all of this is that I'm not going to bother expanding into GoT. Invasion, LotR, and Netrunner were all very enjoyable playing just with what was in the core box, which encouraged me to pick up more of them. I'm not very keen in throwing good money after bad with GoT on the chance I might end up enjoying it, and I'm not exactly hurting for other games to play right now. The biggest thing holding me back from GoT is the sheer cost of buy-in. It'd be different if, after X amount of time, FFG went "Hey guys, we're selling the first cycle as a box for fifty bucks!" because I'd be all OVER that poo poo. But with so many cycles of cards on top of the six house expansions? Nah. LotR LCG is seriously great though, I'm filling out order forms tonight so the boss can order me the rest of the Mirkwood cycle.

Unless they make it cheaper to buy in, though, set rotation really only affects tournament play. I just want to buy it all because I have this monkey on my back and he wants some goddamn nanners, right now. It really needs to be a two-pronged thing: Set rotation to limit the card pool for tournaments, and Chapter Boxes (or some similar idea) to lower to cost of entry for a new player. It's hard to tell people "yeah the first expansion really amounts to a hundred bucks" when I'm selling them on the game. edit On one hand, I want to brag about basically crushing my third ever game of LotR, doing Passage Through Mirkwood with the mono-leadersihp deck in the core set. On the other, I Sneak Attacked Gandalf turn one and have hit basically no enemies this entire game so BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Apr 20, 2014 |

Dre2Dee2 posted:An article on Game Trade Magazine reveals Necrons and Tyranids will come out in a future expansion for WHC. Necrons can be Necrons plus any other faction, Tyranids are JUST Tyranids. I want to know how they plan on introducing those cards, though, unless there's neutral cards, and unless they really plan on loading up big expacs with nids.

Carteret posted:I hear you. I just feel it's a little premature to say the 3rd is required until people actually get hands on the product. 50 card decks only have so many slots Especially when eight cards are eaten up right off the bat. There's a lot of 1-ofs in the box but at the same time it's a box with seven factions, each with specific cards that you can only use in the quantity provided. It's lovely but there's a reason for ti.

SuperKlaus posted:Mmmmhmmm. I'm not into the nids or crons but I do wish FFG would clarify their plans for those factions some more. For all that I've been posting and theorydeckbuilding I too might not actually buy this game until a few months post-release have given it time to be studied. Have some real gripes from listening to Netrunner hype that I don't wanna repeat. They've said they're getting their own expansion(s) later on. I don't know why that's not enough when they don't announce future stuff more than a few months out, and the first cycle of packs hasn't even shipped yet.

Someone define what "listmaking game" means because I feel like this is just a really snarky condescending way to talk about games where the deck is preconstructed and boy howdy that's a great way to lead off your argument, condescension.

Basically any time someone goes "Well it's all the same and it's just about who brings the Best List" it means they don't know what they're actually talking about. This goes for any game, not just ANR or MtG.

Ledhed posted:I don't think they'll ever go to blister packs for the regular releases. The images in the previews are always mock-ups with blister packs, but unless they change manufacturers suddenly it's always gonna be cardboard boxes for the 60-card packs. In the announcement for the 40k packs they said it's going to be blisters from now on. quote:n addition to powerful new warlords, the Warlord cycle introduces our new LCG® packaging to Warhammer 40,000: Conquest War Packs! This packaging is molded plastic, but every War Pack still contains the full complement of sixty cards.

Zaphod42 posted:Magic came up with some fun variants where one player would fight three players but would have special powers, things like that. I'd be interested in seeing variants like that for LCGs, although they're usually gimmicky so I understand focusing on the competitive game. the only casual format that Magic has consistently had success with is the one they didn't create, is the funny part. Commander does really well, every year. meanwhile archenemy/emperor/whatever doesn't actually exist anymore fake edit the best casual format variant i ever heard of though is Commander palyed with the Planechase planar cards using the map variant, and i mean that unironically

Rusty Kettle posted:That necklace is going to out the assholes in the community. God forbid someone cannot remember the name of a card but can describe what it does, or mispronounces it. I think if it sees widespread use, we'll have some negative experiences. In Magic effects that require you to name a card allow you to describe it in such a way that there's only one card it could be, this is the same thing
