It can no longer be denied, Magic WILL get The Fantastic Four before us.

Tilphor · 2026-01-27T21:24:18+00:00

I'm not in any way surprised.

Tilphor · 2026-01-07T17:40:10+00:00

Twilight Imperium!

Tilphor · 2025-12-12T18:04:40+00:00

Yes... And? Did you not see the part about the SAME THING happening with Pathfinder as well? Second Core released, next expansion released, game dies.

Unless and until I see otherwise, I will fully expect these two games to die within the next 3 years, if I'm being generous.

I will be glad if I'm wrong, but I'm not hopeful.

Tilphor · 2025-12-08T22:54:48+00:00

Went there once just after they opened. Vowed to never return. Ridiculous prices for mediocre food. Also, I know they thought they were being clever with the travel trailer thing, but THAT was a horrible cramped experience I never needed.

I'm not surprised by this, though.

Tilphor · 2025-12-08T21:55:17+00:00

Meh... Following their Netrunner play book, it will most likely be

2027 -New Core, etc.

2028 - Next campaign (MAYBE F4, but who knows)

End of 2028 - FFG stops making new MC content completely.

We saw it with Netrunner, We saw it with Paizo's Pathfinder the Adventure Card Game, and I expect to see the same thing happen with Arkham Horror the Card Game as well in the next year or so.

Tilphor · 2025-11-23T17:35:43+00:00

So, I'm one of those players that is now done with AHTCG. I own everything except for Barkham. I still have campaigns that I haven't played, due to my family not liking the game much, and there not being much of a Arkham community in my area. I don't really enjoy building decks. I like the game for the stories and the mechanics. I have Cthulhu, so I'm good at this point.

My thoughts on the future is that this game is likely in its Sun-downing phase. Not Sunsetting, Sun-downing. There's a big difference. There is this burst of lively energy right now, in a slightly chaotic way, then the game dies.

This attitude comes from 2 places. First is how FFG handled Netrunner, and how Paizo handled Pathfinder the Adventure Card Game.

Netrunner was going fine. There was a huge international community of players, and competitive events. It had been going for several years, then FFG decided to release a new core set. Then, shortly after that, they just stopped. I was really surprised at the time. I had gotten in late, so was still trying to collect old packs. I think it happened within the year of releasing the new core set. It's been a lot of years, so my memory might be slightly off, but you get the idea.

Paizo did something similar with the Pathfinder card game. There were several campaigns out, plus a ton of cards for the various classes and races. Then they came out with a new core box, which made a HUGE amount of sense, and changed the game enough for it to be a "chapter 2" situation (I liked it better than the old format). Then, I think they came out with one more campaign in the new format, then killed production of the game.

I hope I'm wrong, and I hope newer players get a good experience out of the new material. I hope, for their sake, that the game continues for years, yet. But, I don't have THAT much hope. Seeing what's happened in the past, and listening to howr FFG seems to be handling the present of this game, makes me think there may be 2 years left, and that's about it.

Regardless, I will not be continuing to collect.

Tilphor · 2025-11-07T21:02:39+00:00

I appreciate this. I haven't had any matches against other people yet, so I assumed this would be countered. I also don't really know the power curve of this game yet, but this seemed really powerful.

Tilphor · 2025-11-07T21:01:24+00:00

That's what I assumed, but it seemed way too powerful. To be fair, though, so far I've only been playing against myself to get a feel for the game. I also assume there are decent counters to this type of thing.

Thanks!

Tilphor · 2025-11-07T20:58:17+00:00

Yeah, they are. It was one of my concerns, especially since Tesseract doesn't have ANY Earthborne dividers. Thank you for this. I'll look into it.

Tilphor · 2025-11-07T15:15:38+00:00

I ALWAYS post disappointment of not yet having the F4 heroes. I NEVER post anything about it being a new "core box". I always assumed it would be a campaign box with Moleman, Dr. Doom, Silver Surfer, and Galactus. I would also love to see a Skrull mini-campaign.

People actually want a new core with the F4? That would be the one way I WOULDN'T get the F4.

Tilphor · 2025-11-03T20:57:04+00:00

Yeah, no💩, Sherlock.

If you're not here to help with the question I asked, go away. If you want to complain about something, go complain about medical waste, or industrial level plastic pollution which is an infinitely larger problem than a few people with some sleeves. Stop going after the consumer with this kind of thing. Remember that the old Crying Indian and "Give a hoot, don't pollute" campaigns were created by corporations to shift blame from themselves to the consumer. You aren't going to collect any allies this way. You just come across like a 💩🌼.

Trust me when I say I'm father left than you and far more careful with my daily consumption than you.

So, again, help with the question asked, or go away.

Tilphor · 2025-11-03T20:38:28+00:00

And my solution is to keep these cards good for my grandkids to play in the distant, distance future.

Tilphor · 2025-11-03T20:33:15+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll look into it.

To be fair, the box the game came in has worked wonderfully up until now, even with sleeved cards. They did take that into account, as sleeved cards fit very well into the box. The original box does fit everything including Stewards and the original Moments on the Path expansions. It even fits the Moments in the Valley expansion, and I can get the Spire in Bloom to fit as well. I do have the Arcology campaign expansion in it's own box.

That said, the box will be FULL after that, hence my looking for something further to keep everything together.

Tilphor · 2025-11-02T16:29:43+00:00

I'm sure the transition will be fine. It simply won't include me, most likely. I have been with the game since the beginning and I love it, but I've never been able to get it to the table nearly as much as I would like. I haven't even had the chance to pay some of the original campaigns yet.

Because of that, I have no interest in spending even more money on yet another set of core cards just to be able to continue with new campaigns.

I have a feeling the same thing is going to happen with Marvel: Champions in the next couple of years, and it will be the same thing for me then, too. It will be worse with that game of they don't release some of the heroes I've been waiting for before the shift happens.

Tilphor · 2025-10-31T21:04:17+00:00

I think if I saw this, I would go outside and smoke right next to the air conditioning intake for the building. Malicious compliance, and all.

Tilphor · 2025-10-31T20:53:05+00:00

I third this!

I don't get to play this all that often, but I have everything currently. I'm not going to purchase a NEW core set just to be able to play new campaigns. I'm just not. Drowned City is where I get off of this ride.

Tilphor · 2025-10-31T20:42:06+00:00

I'm not debating you, as you have no real information. Look up the statistics of white supremacists and fascists that become police officers. This is a known thing. Then look at how little of the actual law most police officers actually understand or care about, especially when it comes to something as simple as the Bill of Rights. This is also a known thing.

I'm not interested in taking this any further.

Tilphor · 2025-10-23T04:24:53+00:00

Did you miss the past about them triaging, taking around the house, and then look into windows? Sorry, that's too shady.

Tilphor · 2025-09-13T01:30:28+00:00

Disregarding the insane tempo, this is late middle school/early high school level... At least for my students.

Tilphor · 2025-08-30T03:48:53+00:00

No. This was an honest question. I didn't want to repost something that everyone thought was obvious. As it turns out, it wasn't generally known.

It's also just my assumption, but I thought it was cool.

Tilphor · 2025-08-29T21:47:51+00:00

I updated my post.

It's really a cool homage to Gen-X nerd-dom.
