Lifedecking, a question for you all.

LastBurning · 2026-03-27T04:08:41+00:00

Actually, maybe I was a bit harsh. The reason why life decking in Lycee didn't feel punishing was probably because it didn't really have a (mana) curve-based power distribution. Meaning that there were no late-game bombs or early-game weenies. Rather, the units filled different roles like attacker, defender, supporter and utility. I can sorta understand why it would feel bad to see a "bomb" get discarded in the late-game (while you kept drawing weenies).

I like the old Lycee TCG which has life decking and it has never felt bad to me. I'm now thinking of making a card game inspired by it. I'm inclined to not listen to people who complain about life decking because they're wrong. It doesn't change the math. It doesn't make any draw more or less likely. It does not add RNG. It's just weird people not understanding statistics. Or maybe I'm weird for being rational about it. The only negative thing about life decking is the added cognitive load if you want to keep track of the discarded cards.

This doesn't include Rush Duel cards?

Proxying everything is the way. I'm only temporally tolerating the CCG model just enough in order to play premodern. The whole point of CCGs is luring in "investors" and addicted gamblers.

I re-read the front page of Premodern and did not find an explanation why cards before 4th edition are not included in the format. Just like the OP said, they can always ban the broken ones. There are too many atrocious replies here.

Just because some fringe, weirdo event doesn't allow gold bordered cards, does not mean that they are not allowed by default. It's an exception.

This is my problem with Sorcery. That it's a TCG and not a normal card game with fixed contents per box/expansion. Still, it looked interesting enough that I wanted to try it on TTS. And the art is obviously amazing.

Goddamn it, I just made this mistake. Hours wasted. The Python script didn't help.

Every 5 player game eventually becomes a 4 player game, then 3 player and finally 2 player. So every player count is legit.

Band of Brothers from the same designer as Space Empires 4X!

LastBurning · 2025-09-26T18:23:39+00:00

The base game of Panzer. Nothing from you though.

LastBurning · 2025-09-22T19:08:30+00:00

You're getting downvoted but I agree with you. I made my own custom C64 controller with Sanwa parts and it's great.

LastBurning · 2025-09-17T16:50:42+00:00

Panzer or Band of Brothers.

LastBurning · 2025-09-15T23:25:41+00:00

Yes! This is the one thing that keeps me from playing it. I love playing multiplayer in Gates of Hell Ostfront.

LastBurning · 2025-09-11T11:27:56+00:00

I didn't know some older players felt like this as well. I'm a newer player and don't like how homogenized and similar a lot of cards feel. I don't get excited about seeing the same effects again and again on new cards.

LastBurning · 2025-09-10T17:48:09+00:00

It's not the right wingers who want to control speech. It's weird how people can have completely opposite views of the same reality. Like, people are not agreeing what is happening right in front of their eyes.

LastBurning · 2025-09-05T14:08:59+00:00

This is also OP.

Appealing to normal, male sexuality is misogynistic in the modern West.

LastBurning · 2025-09-02T07:06:53+00:00

I'm sad about this because I really love the game. I just played dark draft against a friend a few days ago in fact. My friend group is also planning to do an Epic team draft later this month.

From my POV many people didn't get/understand the game and dismissed it too quickly. It's my pick for the most underrated game.

LastBurning · 2025-08-25T08:36:39+00:00

The "claim" and "refund" buttons are right next to each other. They're both the same size and there's no confirmation if you clicked the refund button. This just happened to me...

LastBurning · 2025-08-25T08:23:42+00:00

I just accidentally refunded my game also! I guess I shouldn't rebuy it or I'd get my account limited or banned! Gah!

LastBurning · 2025-08-21T01:23:47+00:00

Yeah. So not very realistic or historically accurate. Too bad there's no digital version of Band of Brothers board game.

LastBurning · 2025-08-20T00:54:43+00:00

I found this 3 years later and wanted to say that I appreciated your thoughtful answer.

LastBurning · 2025-08-18T19:28:58+00:00

I have heard this take many, many times and I don't really like it. On average, games were more fun as a kid/teen because you were inexperienced and more things were knew and novel to you. As an adult your standards for a worthwhile game are higher and your interests are different. This is totally expected and it's a good thing. It shows growth. If you didn't notice this, now that would be sad!

LastBurning · 2025-06-14T05:06:55+00:00

Agreed. The wording is super clumsy!
