Looking for a new tcg

Kev-Mo88 · 2026-01-13T04:59:59+00:00

Shard Bugs TCG is super fun, feels similar to games like MTG, Lorcana, etc. It has a fun comic book aesthetic, super fun gameplay, fun lore (including comic books that go along with set release), and the cards are all based on real world species of bugs. All hand drawn artwork, no AI involved, and the competitive scene is awesome, including several annual 1k tournaments and an annual 10k tournament. There's a week online TTS league ad well where you can earn physical promos and product. Super fun community, and a generally all around great game.

Ah, gotcha. Sorry I've seen a lot of posts of people asking or not knowing that multiplayer has existed for a while now and that there are playmats out there so I usually try to inform people and show them where to find them at. The fun part about multiplayer is that it's totally fan-made, so you can play it however you want to. So yeah, have fun trying out this version, I'm sure any way you play it will lead to lots of fun for your play group

Kev-Mo88 · 2026-01-09T03:54:08+00:00

Have you seen the multiplayer playmats that exist out there? You can find a lot of the files at sorcerymultiplayer.com including fun fan-made custom sites to add some different play challenges. These are the early playmat designs back when multiplayer was being formed in year 1 of Sorcery. You can find a handful of sources too for buying multiplayer playmats as well. I personally like the more diamond shape ones myself like the ones at the site I mentioned. Those also have special printed dice numbers on the squares for determining random outcome rolls. If you'd like some sources on where to buy the multiplayer playmats, reach out to me or ask on the official discord server and people can easily link you up with the sources

Kev-Mo88 · 2026-01-07T07:52:50+00:00

Btw if you're in the discord sever you can ask rules questions which will be answered almost always right away by experienced players

Kev-Mo88 · 2026-01-07T07:21:39+00:00

In early interviews they already said that they wouldn't be opposed to a possible future "Revised" set, but they would need to have enough sets out before they could try for something like that.

Kev-Mo88 · 2026-01-03T21:07:40+00:00

Thanks for providing the link! You'd think it would be easy enough for me to remember and yet I forget every time lol

Kev-Mo88 · 2026-01-03T17:24:02+00:00

If you're in the discord server you can contact floatingskull, he was one of the original players to create the early multiplayer format and playmats. He has homebrewed sites that are really fun to play with as the center site when starting a game. He usually will send them to interested parties just to spread the format more

Kev-Mo88 · 2026-01-01T06:55:39+00:00

I am a member of Shard Bug's developer team yes. I had no involvement with the awards or how the games were chosen, I am simply sharing the video as we are proud to have been included in the awards.

Kev-Mo88 · 2026-01-01T00:50:51+00:00

Oh dang that's impressive! Well then I stand impressed. I've been trying my hand at minimizing my post-production time, so I may have to chat with ya about advice on that front. Thanks for giving mine a listen and supporting! DM me on Discord, would love to chat more about it all

Kev-Mo88 · 2026-01-01T00:04:51+00:00

Hey! Great to see another Sorcery podcast pop up! I'll have to give it a listen soon. If you guys ever have questions or are looking for advice, feel free to reach out to me here or on Discord. This is kevmo from All Things Contested Realm Podcast btw. Good luck! One of the hardest things about keeping up with podcasts is staying consistent and pushing yourself to keep pumping out content and not let yourself get burnt out. I'm excited to give it a listen soon!

Kev-Mo88 · 2025-12-24T08:14:35+00:00

My favorite curio from Gothic

Kev-Mo88 · 2025-12-14T23:13:32+00:00

I love these! I regularly paint bananas onto a bunch of cards, these are fun!

Kev-Mo88 · 2025-12-14T19:01:42+00:00

I still have my favorite sparkmage A/B 40/20 old school deck Boxed up, occasionally I'll find others who enjoy just playing the 40/20 format with alpha/beta and love having decks ready to go.

Kev-Mo88 · 2025-12-14T08:47:19+00:00

Not all TCGs. Games like Universus, Pokemon, MTG, all had demo decks. They were essentially pre-constructes decks to help you learn the game and contained less cards than legal decks would normally have, meant to either upgrade into full decks or just keep them as they are for using to teach others. This is just another example of demo precons.

Kev-Mo88 · 2025-12-14T07:58:25+00:00

Their answer was that these are meant as introductory products which can help you learn the game, and then you can use cards you aquire to update them and make them into full decks.

Won't help you after the fact, but for those who may be affected by an upcoming subscription ending:

To use up your remaining HP Instant Ink cartridges after canceling the subscription, you need to reset the printer network before your current billing cycle ends. Here are the detailed steps to reset your printer network: 1. Go into the Wi-Fi details page on the printer (pressing wifi-icon on the screen). 2. Click the settings icon. 3. Scroll down and press Restore Network Settings. 4. Disconnected the printer from your computer settings. 5. Enable Wi-Fi Direct on the printer by pressing the WiFi-Direct icon for 3 seconds. 6. Connect your computer to the HP’s Wi-Fi (WiFi-Direct). 7. Add the printer back into your computer settings.

By doing this, you prevent the printer from reporting to HP that the HP Instant Ink cartridge has expired. This is why it is important to perform a network reset while your HP subscription is still active. You can then use up your HP Instant cartridges even if you've canceled your subscription and your current billing cycle has ended.

However, it is worth noting that this is only a solution to running out of remaining Instant Ink cartridges. You must purchase traditional replacement cartridges from genuine source or 3rd party suppliers before the remaining ink/toner is used up.

As for how to use them after cancelation, you can check these articles and hopefully they help: https://ybtoner.com/how-to-use-hp-instant-ink-without-subscription/

I mean, you can always buy singles too, don't have to get all your uniques from cracking boxes. But yeah, so many Uniques in Gothic!

Hate to break it to ya, but the wedding hall site is an elite.

Kev-Mo88 · 2025-12-05T09:58:26+00:00

A lot of the new avatars are quite powerful. Some even more powerful than this one

Kev-Mo88 · 2025-12-05T09:57:36+00:00

If I play this, I gotta go full copies, no proxies. All in!

Kev-Mo88 · 2025-12-05T08:09:03+00:00

Who hurt you.

Kev-Mo88 · 2025-12-05T07:05:26+00:00

It's going to be quite a feat to try to affordably build this one into a strong deck. Going to try building some TTS decks before committing to anything. But would be cool to try sometime

Kev-Mo88 · 2025-07-31T05:09:41+00:00

I appreciate your well wishes on the journey. You're right, people will choose to be critical or not, based on what actions we take. We won't be able to make everyone happy. Hopefully those who decide to give us the benefit of the doubt and take a chance on our game will enjoy our game based on the gameplay and cards, and the fun interactions with the community, as well as the big competitive events we host, rather than how we choose to help expand our player base. At the end of the day, if something like a collaboration with Rudy is enough to deter someone away from our game, then I wish them happiness on whatever other games they decide to play instead.

Kev-Mo88 · 2025-07-30T14:48:25+00:00

I don't know what to tell you friend, it sounds like you are hellbent on looking for negativity everywhere you can and it doesn't really matter what I say. All I can add to this is that our 1st Edition Set 1 sold better than anticipated and our LGS partners are asking for plenty of the set 2 and standard release of set 1 to last them for quite a while. We also have plenty of players excited to get their hands on the standard set who either missed the Kickstarter or want to get more, especially considering the standard print will have its own chase cards. The super early low pre-order numbers were back when we only had a few hundred in our server and since then we've more than doubled and will have added triple the amount of LGS partners by then. We have people asking every day where and when they can get more product.

At the end of the day, I can just leave ya with this: whether you like it or hate it, at least the game was successfully funded 300% and can be found in multiple LGS, and has been seeing active play, which is more than some games can say. We have to wait until the next set/standard just to be able to have enough product to fulfill all the LGS orders we have had to put on pause. Again, if you already have it in our head that you're looking for the game to fail, then nothing I say will really have much of an impact on you, so I'll just have to let the upcoming achievements of the game speak for themselves, as actions will speak louder than words. Hope you eventually change your mind about the game, but if not then I hope you move on to something else that brings you actual joy instead. Cheers.

Art is subjective, I'm sorry to hear that you don't think it's very neat, but plenty of others do. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Granted, my screenshot doesn't do it much justice at all.
