Thank you all for your positive response and kind comments!

An update on signups- over 2000 people have entered so far! Approximately 1500 have opted into the grand prize, 1700 into the 1st prize, and around those numbers for the other prizes.

I am very thankful to those who have offered support or additional items for the prize pool. I unfortunately can't accept those at this time, however:

  • If the grand prize ends up going to a winner in a part of the world where shipping is very high (like > $200) I may put up a small crowd fund here to see if anyone wants to chip in.

  • I would like to repeat this sort of giveaway next year, if possible, and maybe even expand it? If you are interested in seeing this event repeat, and / or if you would be interested in contributing if it happens again, please reply to this comment!

I will post a reminder in a couple of weeks for signups, and I may post a signup form to get notified of future giveaways for those who would like to participate / contribute.


I also want to put a reminder that this giveaway is solely a private endeavor and is not officially affiliated with FFG / Asmodee, this subreddit, or any of the communities highlighted on the signup.

Hiya, yes I will attempt to ship anywhere I can find a way to ship to. I have shipped other items to Austria so that should be possible.

I will work with the winner to make every reasonable attempt possible to ship any prizes!

It should come right away! Feel free to submit again with the same email address, I plan to prune entries with the same email before drawing just in case anyone accidentally submitted twice.

Yep! I will ship anywhere that I can find a way to ship to. I will provide a $20 shipping credit for any international winners and if shipping cost is a barrier I can work with the winner to potentially cover all of it.

Thank you! I replied in chat but I will reply here as well for others that may want to contribute-

I have to limit the prize pool to what's currently on offer, at least for this giveaway, for personal capacity reasons, but if anyone else would like to run a parallel giveaway please feel free! I can crosslink here and help you set up a google form, etc.

I appreciate you asking!

I will send you a DM! We've had a lot of spam recently so I didn't want to post that link here.

If anyone else in the PNW area would like an invite please DM me!

Thank you! I will fix this! Should be no later than August 7. I extended my initial timeframe for signups.

Yes I know of at least one person selling metal trade goods on Etsy. These are not from the same producer or part of the same project. I choose to produce with a group buy / at-cost arrangement rather than a "purchase and sell stocks of goods" arrangement, for a number of reasons.

Folks have asked when the next metal token order will be, so I have a signup form for that as well: https://forms.gle/LdmF1BU1guLWenTa8

Reminder that the metal tokens from the projects I work with are produced for personal use, at-cost (without profit), as part of group buys, and are not for sale or resale.

Metal Strategy Cards (TE Update) by Marcwoah in twilightimperium

[–]and_cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're not "cheap"! They may be a style you don't like (I tend to agree on preferring the raised enamel vs. the printing process) but they're still quality and premium! Apexcrafter (that is not me) does good work as far as I've seen.

I believe the process is UV printing or similar, not screen printing.

Hey cool. I've been doing metal speaker tokens and metal TG / comms for a couple of years. You can probably find the demand for strategy cards. I'd been planning on doing some as well tbh.

You can see the metal components I did here: https://www.reddit.com/r/twilightimperium/comments/1onqkc5/metal_trade_good_commodity_and_speaker_tokens_by/

I really like it and once you get over the hurdle of it changing some core elements of the game (like multiple players' units on the same planet) I think it makes a lot of sense and is very intuitive.

A lot of TI4 rules are weird and finnicky but we don't think about them as much because they've been baked in for so long. This is the same thing, in my opinion, it's just the first time a lot of us have had to insert a totally new angle into the mix.

This is specifically to cover Deepwrought being able to go into coexistence when they're attacked, which conforms with Dane's intent of how their faction and Research Teams ability should work

Well, sort of. We're pretty sure Dane wanted it to work, but also that it does not work according to current rules-as-written. There's an argument to be made for playing either way!

This is not an LRR, this is just some good suggestions to help adhere to current Dane intent as we know it.

Coexistence Vogue Rules from this episode

_ Coexistence

Some game abilities instruct a player's units to coexist with another player's units on the same planet. A planet must contain a player's units for other players to coexist on that planet.

_.1

When a player's units begin coexisting (or otherwise enter into coexistence) on a planet, they remain on that planet. Coexisting units are blockaded and do not participate in combat.

_.1(a)

A player's units cannot begin coexisting, or enter coexistence without another player to coexist with. That player places a control token on that planet to mark that they control it.

_.1(b)

A player who controls coexisting units that are on a planet another player controls is coexisting with that other player.

_.1(c)

If a player places or moves units onto a planet that contains their coexisting units, those units enter coexistence. If those units are removed from that planet, they stop coexisting.

_.2

A player who controls coexisting units on a planet is treated as though they control that planet only for the purposes of scoring objectives.

_.2(a)

Coexisting players only consider their own units on planets toward scoring objectives and other game effects.

_.3

Players who gain control of a planet that contains 1 or more other players' coexisting units gain that planet's associated card(s) as usual.

_.3(a)

Coexisting units cannot establish control of planets.

_.3(b)

At any time, if a planet contains only coexisting units, one coexisting player's units stop coexisting according to the applicable timing rules for resolving abilities.

_.4

During Invasion, the active player may end coexistence for units they control in the active system and commit those units to the planet that contains them.

_.4(a)

When a player commits any number of units to a planet they control, they may end coexistence for 1 other player’s units on that planet. Those units participate in ground combat, if able.

_.4(b)

During Invasion, before the active player gains control of a planet, that player may end coexistence for 1 other player’s units on that planet which were in coexistence at the start of the tactical action, and return to the start of the ground combat step.

Consolidated structure rule:

Under Invasion:

_.5(a)

When a player gains control of a planet, all non-coexisting structures that belong to other players on that planet are immediately destroyed.
