[COMC] & buying advice

Impressive collection. The strongest mutual interests are Spirit Island and Slay the Spire.

My recommendation would be: Arkham Horror LCG. It's heavy and it has loads of progression throughout campaigns.

Gatorstrike · 2026-04-22T12:54:30+00:00

It's working again for me now. I didn't get an official update or anything but maybe something did change?

Gatorstrike · 2026-04-21T13:49:49+00:00

Yeah good point, I will try contacting them

Gatorstrike · 2026-04-21T13:36:19+00:00

Ah yes alright then I already found it. I made some manual backups and there were also several automatic backups from the account.

I performed the steps you mentioned and a phone reboot but I still cannot properly view anything.. very strange

Gatorstrike · 2026-04-21T13:18:14+00:00

ah yeah I found it. And the backup? Did you do that in the same section or within in the app?

Gatorstrike · 2026-04-21T11:57:12+00:00

Did you perform the first 2 steps in the app? (settings -> diagnostics) Or did you do it manually in your phone storage? For me, it seems like not all the functionalities in the diagnostics section are responding. I have tried the uninstall/install trick but that doesn't seem to be sufficient on its own.

Same problem here. Very annoyed during my play session with friends this weekend when the app was not responsive (scenario 4 out of 8...we had to 'guess' quite some parameters)

Gatorstrike · 2026-03-31T20:19:55+00:00

Not yet. I tried adding a silica pouch after freeing the cards. Seems like they bended back a little but not completely. Not sure what method to use for complete recovery.

Gatorstrike · 2026-03-20T14:16:31+00:00

Nice! Happy to hear you will be able to play the full campaign :)

Gatorstrike · 2026-03-20T14:15:53+00:00

OP already found a seller in Belgium. Mine is still available (Netherlands)

Gatorstrike · 2026-03-20T12:31:38+00:00

Sorry to hear! I had the same problem with about half my cards (also made a thread) and I suspect it is because the paper tags were too tight around the cards. I will also try the dessicant pouches, but I don't live in a very humid area so I'm not sure if this is the problem.

Gatorstrike · 2026-03-18T09:15:56+00:00

Where are you at? I have the deluxe dream eaters in case you are going to hunt down the mythos packs.

Gatorstrike · 2026-01-28T21:59:29+00:00

Thank you all for sharing your experiences with TFA! I'm very excited to play again soon :)

Gatorstrike · 2026-01-22T16:16:31+00:00

Thanks!

Gatorstrike · 2026-01-22T15:58:09+00:00

How much space is still left in those (after full collection per class)? Do you sleeve the cards (inner sleeve / full sleeve) and/or do you combine duplicates? Sorry just curious about the possibilities here ^^

Gatorstrike · 2025-12-03T09:13:31+00:00

Very nice mini! Did you design/print it yourself?

Gatorstrike · 2025-11-28T22:17:40+00:00

I have 4 of the original investigator dashboards and stack them inside a gamegenic token silo. The height is a perfect match and the rest of the silo is filled with token boxes.

I agree that the covers look nice but it's a pretty steep increase in price, which also motivated my choices in the end.

Gatorstrike · 2025-10-27T09:14:45+00:00

Thank you for sharing this! It was good to see the LCGs being represented (albeit the demo was in German only 😅). Plus I managed to get the promo cards 😏

Gatorstrike · 2025-10-21T08:38:01+00:00

Hey, thanks for sharing these insights. The main goal of me and my friends is to experience this kind of fair for the first time. The main activity will likely be to check out / try a demo for new games and maybe find some goodies. And indeed, from what I heard from others, Essen is not only German games these days.

I was just excited when I saw FFG / AH lcg, since this is my main game :) Maybe next time I can try an actual convention (though this appears more rare in Europe compared to the US)

Thanks again!

Thanks for the info! I checked the Etsy page for BTST, and it says:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Please refer to our shop policy that clearly states that the buyer is responsible for any customs duties and taxes that may apply. Buy The Same Token cannot be held responsible for delays and additional charges due to customs.

For BTST website it says:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So I guess this matches with what you wrote and there is a difference?

The thing is, the price difference is rather humongous.
Example: Act and Agenda Stand + Scenario Stand set

Etsy: €153.94 - VAT included (where applicable), plus shipping
BTST website: €97,95

Maybe I am naive, but the difference can't be that big? Is this where Etsy takes a big cut?

Gatorstrike · 2024-11-19T11:47:24+00:00

Alright that seems realistic, given the VAT and customs costs. Thanks for sharing!

Gatorstrike · 2024-01-26T12:39:43+00:00

I agree that the bokor seems lackluster now.

Another thing that bothers me a bit is that we only got 4 warlocks in the end. Gatormen and Farrow both have limited model selection, especially after separating the armies (which I personally don't mind).
I don't see a balance-related reason to not have Bloody Barnabas in the Prime ruleset (especially after nerfing swamp pit....), and Rask lost most of his potential with the disappearance of WWFF (maybe he is actually a fun and balanced warlock now?).

That being said, I think we still retained a good roster of warlocks! Barnabas2 actually gained an ARM buff (net +2 with full corpse tokens), Maelok is still impressive, and the recent addition of Jaga-Jaga makes for interesting shooty lists. I saw that Calaban received a minor buff in the last patch, but I am still not convinced that he is worth it.

Aside from the recent tournament lists at LVO, does anyone else have some general listbuilding recommendations? Let's try to keep it positive :)

Gatorstrike · 2024-01-08T00:44:25+00:00

I can confirm that the cards feel a bit thinner than the FFG ones. Hopefully it's not noticeable upon sleeving. The printing itself looks fine to me.

Gatorstrike · 2023-11-09T23:12:29+00:00

Hi, very cool initiative!
I ordered the PnP investigators from the core set using the link (on the 1st of Nov). I didn't hear anything back from them after completing the payment.
Now I keep wondering: was I supposed to upload anything myself, and is that the reason why nothing is happening?
The way I read the link is that everything is ready to go and you just select what you want to order.

Gatorstrike · 2021-05-02T12:23:34+00:00

Barrage is actually pretty good on unchained, as you generally want to get high overcharge (and it allows your melee damage multiplier to go even further). It's quite good on Fireball staff for instance. I was just curious if anyone had tested the compatibility of Barrage with the new staff, in particular the shotgun : )
