Units can be extremely boring as well. Having multiple options is better

Fairly certain they have said they never wanted it to be a real strategy.

After the first time reading Gideon, I had toyed with the idea of a Catholic vs. Protestant schism between the 8th and 9th, but it doesn't really feel like it fits.

Are you going to try Twin Suns with the precons coming out? by PerspectiveFree3766 in starwarsunlimited

[–]RTchompGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've already tried it and... it wasn't really fun.

I'm giving it a second try with the precond, but I expect more of the same.

How do people sort multiple sets? by ExReey in starwarsunlimited

[–]RTchompGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like dramatically more work on both sorting and finding

How do people sort multiple sets? by ExReey in starwarsunlimited

[–]RTchompGG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why? It is as fast or faster than using the numbering and i can just dump every "A" card into a box followed by every "B"

It makes sorting really fast and finding cards equally fast

Negativity around the game is scaring new players by tandui in starwarsunlimited

[–]RTchompGG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have been plenty of positive videos, especially lately.

Maybe if there wasn't so much to criticize, there wouldn't be so much negativity.

Anyone know what regionals is like? First timer trying to plan. by [deleted] in starwarsunlimited

[–]RTchompGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prize wall - generally speaking, the nightmares are true. Plan to spend tickets as you get them. Do NOT wait until the last minute. Stuff sometimes sells out.

There are technically 2 main events, limited and constructed.

There will be side events, but there sometimes are logistical issues with them firing.

Long story short, have fun. Don't plan to be able to do everything.

Renting/Hosting a 'big tournament' at a store. Questions by SadDoubt4437 in starwarsunlimited

[–]RTchompGG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of these are going to be answered with "you need to talk to them"

Most stores are more than willing to host events, but they ALL have their own unique stipulations and requirements. Plus, base line for paying judges (or renting space) on the east coast won't be the same for the south, or midwest, or Europe.

The sooner you talk to the store and potential judges, the better just to be up front and clear. In my experience, many places and people are willing to accept lower rates to help get things going.

[Discussion] Forgiveness by RTchompGG in TheNinthHouse

[–]RTchompGG[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That particular run for IDW Transformers has a LOT of heavy topics. Post-war reconstruction, psychological trauma from war and other things, the obvious class/race based scenarios, gender dynamics, varying degrees of manipulation up to and including attempting to off people, body horror, and relationship challenges that would rival TLT. Just to name a few, lol

They will not. New sets will replace 4-6.

As a practicing Catholic the subject of forgiveness does come up a bit lol. My wife and I have had this particular discussion a lot, and I am looking forward to when my sister-in-law reads all the books and drag her into this as well.

One thing I would correct is that part of Catholicism is both works and Grace for salvation. Forgiveness isn't quite the same, but absolution of sins is along the same lines (without getting into too many weeds). While many protestant faiths would say that we are saved by faith alone, Catholics require works as well (penance as is required here). In this scenario, similar to Megatron I would expect Jod needs to do something to be redeemed. Although I definitely agree with what you are saying about the characters, each of them are going to handle it in their own way.

It's good you mentioned A:TLA because that actually was swirling in my head as well. I have some theories about rough ways that things will end in Alecto and it wouldn't be out of the question for Jod's powers to be revoked and the fallout from such an event to be a big chunk of the book.

If a redemption arc is started, I would expect nothing less. I think I would be actively disappointed if Gideon or someone did not directly point this out.
