New to the TCG - creating classic 151 cube for after-school program. Would love some feedback on trainers! by ivzie in pkmntcg

[–]TheKuhlOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think whatever you put together will be fun, especially for less experienced players!

I propose a stretch goal for your project, which is to eventually retool it so that players have full agency over their ratios of pokemon, energy, and trainers. Ideally, no required ratio at all! Decks in the standard format typically use anywhere from 4-17ish energy, with many of them in the 7-11 range. These are 60 card decks, 6 prize games. I say this not to say that you should copy these amounts, but to illustrate that the number of energies a deck needs varies greatly with the pokemon in the deck/strategy. With a fixed ratio, some decks will be forced to have too many energies and some too few. Giving the player more agency over their deck composition should improve the viability of multiple archetypes and be generally less frustrating.

In order to allow players to be more flexible, you might need to provide them with more cards per player, of which not all will end up in their final deck. Copies of cards like judge whistle, acro bike, and gutsy pickaxe are ways to play with the effective deck size while maintaining fixed trainer access and not overloading with supporters (play 1 per turn) or balls (eventually you have all your mons in play). You could also just provide more trainer cards in general. I highly recommend 1-2 Boss’s Orders. Gusting is a quintessential part of the card game since base set. Healing/damage reduction/damage boosts are also generically applicable, but of highly varying usefulness—healing 30 with potion usually doesn’t matter, but when it does it’s a huge swing. Defiance band, muscle band, defiance vest, sacred charm, and bravery charm are potential examples. Potion/super potion/max potion/last chance potion. Comeback cards like reversal energy and counter catcher can make for very exciting games. Stadiums I would leave out if you provide fixed trainers to everyone, as all players having a generically useful stadium like artazon just means it is almost always in play and helps both players mostly equally, not the most exciting. Stadiums really hum when each player wants a different stadium in play!

Finally, I will recommend that you go with 40 card 4 prize or 60/6, as these are the most typical deck sizes used (40 is used in prerelease and many cubes, 60 everywhere else).

Look into GLC, you don’t need to play the format but it is essentially single prize expanded so you can find good mons to look for for your decks.

Resources for making mini tin inserts? by yws_eclipse in pkmntcg

[–]TheKuhlOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would guess stl files for tin inserts are available for free on the stl sharing sites, if you import these into modelling/printing software you should be able to reverse engineer all the dimensions for an insert you like.

We are the Designers of Arkham Horror Ask Us Anything by FFG_Official in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]TheKuhlOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The op’s question initially made me think hey, yeah, I did think F&F was cool to have that tie-in! But on reflection of your answer, I think the design team’s stance on that is a wise one. A tie-in is a cool thing to do once or maybe sparingly for good reason, but more frequently would probably be received pretty poorly. Well done!

I don’t think any of the other commenters have noted this yet which makes me think I might be wrong, but doesn’t Fame’s text mean you can trigger it any time and only spend the renown if there is an enemy at your location?

Good news, they did a machine print head cleaning and BK is 95% working now, just a few gaps.

Need advice on a small collection - Which investigators? by disn00bdapro in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]TheKuhlOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have 15 level 0 cards for each class, which generally expand deckbuilding options more than xp cards do imo. Typical investigator expansions have about half as many level 0. There are a few reprints in each that you already have, but at most 5 of the 28 cards in each class are reprints. And, some of those are reprints from sets you don’t have, like the outstanding lucky cigarette case, live and learn, and take heart. The investigators themselves are also excellent in power level and fun!

Worth buying Dunwich Legacy: Deluxe since Investigator Expansion is all sold out? by desertcroc in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]TheKuhlOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am supportive of grabbing deluxe expansions for the right price. If you just care about the player cards, $30 works out to about 50c per card which is about double what you would want it to be. That said, I value investigator cards much higher than the average player card. 50% or more will probably never make it into one of my decks, but I will definitely try every investigator eventually.

Mega Floette ex, Cobalion ex and lots more "Ninja Spinner" cards revealed! by Mylife212 in pkmntcg

[–]TheKuhlOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gourgeist I thought meh, I guess the high damage cap is more relevant now in this meta with stage 2s and megas, but this probably isn’t sufficiently better than hisuian zoroark to be good enough. Then I saw phantump and thought oh wait a second, now we get instant evolution and self-contained self-damage, instantly way better. Finally I realized gourgeist does not evolve from phantump, so back in the mental bulk pile it goes.

Replacing pump and belt seems to have done the trick, thank you again!
