Boco_T posted:Just put in an order for Khazad-Dum and the Dwarrodelf cycle, excited to find a thread with a lot of LotR LCG talk. I have been buying the expansions slowly for about a year and a half now and I get a bug every month or two and play a bunch. Regular 200/400/600/800 count card boxes available from your FLGS or through CSI should hold sleeved cards fine. As for storing all cards sleeved, I suggest against it. Even Ultrapro Matte Perfect Fits have variance in size and color between runs.

djfooboo posted:So should I get into Doomtown:Reloaded? BGG seems excited, but they have burnt me before. It checks all the right boxes by me and my like list is pretty similar. My big concern is lack of trust for AEG to balance anything after riding the L5R roller coaster. A concern which is largely ameliorated by the fixed nature of card release. Hell if AEG suddenly started releasing "L5R - Lotus Edition Fixed Card Game" I'd probably jump in line.

vulturesrow posted:I'm asking this here since more people here probably use OCTGN rather than the Boardgames thread. Has anyone played that game they are pushing in OCTGN chat, The Spoils. Here is the URL for the game: The Spoils. The Spoils is an old CCG, surprised they're pushing it. I took one of the big money tourneys in it a long time ago but only because it was sealed and I had an absolutely _stupid_ sealed pool.

DiscipleoftheClaw posted:This kind of obvious money grab is really kind of lovely, and is getting old after people have been complaining about it since the first LCG releases. I wish that more companies would do something like they did with Mage Wars, and just release something akin to the Core Spell Tome, since they know people don't need more sets of counters and rulebooks, and just want the cards. At the same time, a majority of players will never buy more than a single core set. FFG has stated time and time again that their main concern with core sets is having playable decks right out of the box while keeping the price at their sweet spot. Would you rather they release a core set with 1/3rd of the cards for WH40K Conquest and without viable decks that showcase the game or a core box with a $99+ MSRP? That said, the Netrunner core set could have made those 1-ofs into 2-ofs and made 11 3-ofs into 2-ofs and been fine. They've at least learned from ANR's release that a third core set for all of 11 cards is a bit nutters. PJOmega fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Aug 13, 2014 |

GrandpaPants posted:I thought the first big box would have both. I honestly hope not. If you're releasing a new faction, especially if it's something like Tyranids who CANNOT get tools from other factions, you want them to have a lot of support in that one purchase. For comparison, imagine if no set of magic had more than two slivers. They synergize with one another but you'd never see them played unless they were drastically undercosted and degenerate.

The fact the SM card is hiding only one or two words combined with 'until end of phase' is really throwing me off. It can't be 'a battle,' nor 'no battle' because it doesn't specify not first planet. It can't really have anything to do with command struggle due to timing windows. Could it be initiative? It must be.

Can't be anything to do with the Command Struggle due to there being no action windows in the Command Phase before the struggle is resolved. The _only_ thing that makes any lick of sense to me is you gain initiative.

Blamestorm posted:I also think Conquest maybe didn't need to have as many factions as it did, at least initially. I wonder it they considered multiple starter core sets with different factions but more card support. I don't see how they could cut a faction and bring it in later given the loyalty wheel. The two exceptions interact with the wheel in a wholely different way.

I really wish there was a good card game 101 primer because this comes up in EVERY card game. "Look at top X, draw 1, discard/bottom of deck the others" is strictly better than "draw 1." Yes, there are times you'll see multiple cards you want right now, but the difference between it being in that batch and already being at the bottom is simple. Now you KNOW you aren't drawing it anytime soon and can plan accordingly. This, and "but what if I mill my opponent's good card!!!" Bog down every thread.

It's likely we'll see only 1 or even no Warlord per pack (well down the line), especially after we get 3--4 Warlords per faction.

DatonKallandor posted:Put 1 in every deck unless you're extremely heavy on the faction mixing. At worst it saves you no money (and doesn't cost you anything - it breaks even on the turn you play it if you have even 1 unit of that faction to play as well) and stalls for one turn. At best it saves you tons of money and stalls for one turn. Probably it's going to save you a little money and stall for one turn. At worst it's a card that could have been something to help you win. Opportunity cost of the card is a big deal in card games. Edit: Wait, you're the guy who ranted on and on about how "Search X cards and place the rest on the bottom" was a terrible mechanic.

In LotR can you attack with 0 characters? Had a situation arise where a player killed a monster, then wanted to contribute ranged damage to another player who had only exhausted units.

Thanks for the quick responses. We played the second scenario with three starter decks (all but lore). First flip had 2 Hill Giants. Last two cards flipped in the ambush were 2 Hill Giants. Quickly realized that Forest Snare was a good card. We survived though. If we complete a quest during the combat step (from Legolas (Core)'s ability) and the next step would flip more cards than there are left in the encounter deck, do we shuffle the discard back? And finally, Thalin vs. Eastern Crows. We ended up with Thalin committed to the quest and a deck that consisted of nothing but Eastern Crows. After three reveals in a row we checked it to confirm and then shuffled the discard in but would love to know what we should have done.

While I perfectly understand the design mentality of Core Sets being introductory, I'd really love it if they'd make everything a 2-3x. For ANR the third core set is for only 7 cards, but of those 7 you want 3-4 in triplicate when you run them. LotR is a third core for again 7 cards (11 if you're wanting Gandalfs for 4 players). Conquest made sense because almost everything was a 1-of, and it was nice to only need 2-of for SWLCG. Though from a business standpoint, it makes perfect sense to make heavy investors buy 3 cores (they were already going to buy 2).

Carteret posted:With 8 factions, and the need to throw in cards from a 2nd house just to make a legal deck out of the core, I would assume the AGoT core set will resemble Conquest far more than ANR. Yeah, unless they really minimize the card pool or have a lot of neutrals.
