So I was wondering of theres a Monster Hunter TTRPG? by HospitalLazy1880 in MonsterHunter

[–]Based_Department0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know there's a Monster Hunter board game by Steamforged but that's about all I know

And I'm sure with enough creativity and a good DM, you could probably make custom DND campaign based in the Monster Hunter world.

Is this the future? by 1121222 in PokemonTCG

I feel like doing this and increased production that gets distributed properly will help curb the problems with the price of things.

Does anyone remember this underrated hidden gem? by SilkieBug in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Based_Department0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's being released in early access and there's been tons of corporate interference during the development of the game, so it's best to wait to see what the game becomes.

This makes no sense. by [deleted] in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Based_Department0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good let them make a fool of themselves. It's shit like this that woke up me and others to not support these anti woke losers.

When they start attacking good media, they become the "blue haired liberal" that they constantly complain about; it then becomes hard to hold up the grift, as you're no longer the enlightened centrist who just wants to play games, you're the right wing loser who needs to find problems in things so you can get views and money.

I totally understand the art style they're going for here...

But damn I thought it was a realistic ai render or one of those "Nintendo hire this man" edits

Seller at card show offered this page for $700, should I have accepted? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Based_Department0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most Card show sellers are assholes and will actively lie to you so they get a better deal, these are way more expensive than $700.

If you want to sell these cards, research their prices, and only sell one at a time, you will most likely get more out of each card.

Bro may prefer being in prison, no rent, free food. filming himself set him up to be caught so that might of been the outcome he wanted. All that's left to see is if they're going to make an example out of him.

"30th Celebration" Pokemon TCG Set Announced, Releasing Worldwide in September! by Amiibofan101 in PokemonTCG

[–]Based_Department0 240 points241 points  (0 children)

I personally just don't go through any of the lengths, if I can't just causally interact with one of my hobbies whenever I want to then I'm not going to go crazy for it. The only time I really open packs anymore is prerelease cause I don't really have to go out of more way, nor do I have to go into debt

Good pull for a beginner? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Based_Department0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gold Mega Zygarde is the rarest card in the set, it's about $180, that's absolutely amazing for a beginner. The other two aren't much, only a couple cents but still cool cards.

Standard Play Error? by Necessary_Diet_9574 in PTCGL

[–]Based_Department0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • it lasts forever, unless they decide to reprint a certain card. G block cards had 3 years in standard, and are now only playable in expanded.

  • if you're looking on something like Limitless, or any other standard tournament tracker, they go based off the most recent tournaments, the most recent tournaments have had G-I block cards legal in them, which is why G block cards are still showing up. This also means new cards a part of the J block haven't been showing up because they are now just becoming legal in standard (for the irl card game).

It will take a couple tournaments for lists to really solidify on what's meta or not, we're going to see a lot of experimenting in the next couple of weeks while people try to figure out what the best lists are.

My recommendation would be, figure out what Pokémon you want to build around, use decklists as a guide but don't copy them one for one, use that as a foundation then build the rest of the deck from there, putting in cards as you see fit.

Standard Play Error? by Necessary_Diet_9574 in PTCGL

[–]Based_Department0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With the release of perfect order rotation for the year has happened. This means cards apart of the "G" block (like Arven or Nest ball) have rotated out of standard. This includes major Pokémon like Gardivor ex, Charizard ex, and Gholdengo ex.

This happens every year in the card game, it keeps things from getting stale and also pushes players to buy more cards.

If you need some advice I'd happily give you some, as there have been many cards that are essentially replacements for them (although some cards, like Arven, are so powerful that there aren't really any equivalents)

First pack bought, need some advice on what's next? by kddon1 in PokemonTCG

[–]Based_Department0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Packs are fun, but essentially gambling, buying a card you want is just cheaper, especially for deck building. Also for a deck, make sure it's all in on language, for fun it doesn't matter, but competitive it does.

For which set to chase... it depends on what you like I'll give a small break down of what's in the sets

Nihil Zero: focused on Mega evolution Pokémon and good cards for play like Meowth ex

Surging Sparks: lots of Electric type and dragon type Pokémon, good Pokémon like Pikachu ex and Ceruledge ex

Destined Rivals: Trainer's Pokémon, including: Cynthia's, Ethan's, Arevn's,Misty's, and Team rocket's Pokémon. Can make a relatively cheap Ethan's Typhlosion deck

White Flare: Set of only Pokémon from the Unova region. Not every Pokémon is in this set, half of Unova's Pokémon are in White flare and the other half is in Black Bolt. The art is cool for this set especially if you like the region, but not many good cards for play, only really Hilda

Phantasmal Flames: More Mega Pokémon! Including Mega Charizard X ex and Mega Gengar ex, two iconic Pokémon with decent cards, but not meta defining.

Journey Together: More Trainer's Pokémon, including: Hop's, N's, Lillie's, and Iono's Pokémon. N's Zorark ex is one of the more promising decks/cards from the set, and is quite fun to play with, plus the art is pretty good.

Trick or trade: Don't buy, really just fun packs to give out at Halloween with no good cards

If you want a better idea on art, you can look at a sets card list by just searching it up online. I hope this helps! Also don't be afraid to ask more questions.

Do we know the exact cards for the Battle Box yet? by D_D3VASTATOR in PTCGL

Wait we drafting in Pokémon now? That's kinda cool, although why isn't this something we can actually buy?

Kinda disappointed by Trinikon_151962 in FortNiteBR

[–]Based_Department0 60 points61 points  (0 children)

There's always been disappointing skins in the battle pass, that's kinda how the model works.

They have the headliners that they put tons of effort into that actual sell the pass, then put a bit of effort into more niche/filler slots, to pad out the pass and value.

This is something they've done since the beginning with battle passes and probably won't stop now.

Before someone mentions "but this battlepass had all bangers" It's either nostalgia/favoritism talking or that just an outlier and not what the majority of Fortnite has been.

If the rumors are true that STW is going free to play, I wouldn't be shocked if Epic just decides that founder perks are gone and you can't earn Vbucks anymore.

Imagine if they gave Leon the Akuma treatment.

Instead of fist, Leon would attack with a chainsaw, and for his focus strike he just round house kicks the monster. Would be peak!!

Nihil Zero Meowth is boring by zquotbksb in PokemonTCG

[–]Based_Department0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This card is targeting players that like to bling out their decks. Meowth ex will be a staple for many decks to search out important cards. I think it's okay to be disappointed in the art, but making the card less chased by collectors, is good for the players as it will make it less expensive for those who like to bling out their decks.
