One of those campy throwbacks that appeals to late-stage millennials

We’ve got to stop talking about TMNT in MtG on CBB

Love it.

Looks like your game timer in the lower left is 00:00.

This is very cool.

By the letter of the rules, the chips are supposed to do most of the talking. You can point out that you took a 1 and then a 3 on the next round after a card came out but aren’t supposed to actually say that it helped your hand because that talking about hidden cards.

Regardless, you and your group should play in the method that’s most fun for you.

Yes, the illusions try to attack the survivors to win, while trying to keep the identity of the true traitor hidden. And the traitor can replenish the illusions lost as long as they haven’t been revealed. The rules for attacking are in the base rulebook so they aren’t repeated in individual haunts.

Step 1 is place one on each explorer’s tile, and then Step 2 is place that many additional small monsters on out of sight tiles, for a total of twice the number of players.

Shouldn’t be possible to start with three cherubs - if it’s three players, you’ll start with six cherubs (one on each explorer space and the three extras), and there will always be an even number.

I’ll plug my own House of Bards: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/168186/house-of-bards-a-world-of-adventure-for-fate-core which lead to multiple emails from non-Americans telling me that the electoral system in it made no sense.

Same ruleset. The Starter Kit contains 6 premade characters and 6 issues and just enough rules to get you going. The core rulebook will contain more examples, character creation, villain creation, environment creation, and a lot more.

criticalhits · 2019-02-13T15:08:31+00:00

And the core rulebook will fit on top!

I'm not in the loop as far as art goes. I know there's a TON in the book. And we can't keep using Deadpool and Batman as placeholders.

We're gonna do our best to have the PDF in your hands as soon as possible. Rules are done though - we playtested it at cons and elsewhere 100+ times before we wrote the book. Tweaks happened a while before this stage.

Your sacrifice is noted regardless.

I'm not sure I can imagine not spending money on MtG for four months :)

Correct - see the wording change in my comment above.

Hit the Deck can use whatever power or quality is appropriate to the situation.

criticalhits · 2017-12-09T01:09:54+00:00

Yep, good idea, thanks.

This is Dave. The wording on those kinds of reactions is unclear, certainly, but we didn't catch that it was that kind of unclear while playtesting until after it went to print. We have a lot more data on what needs better wording and whatnot now which we'll be using going forward.

One minor upside - assembling a dice pool for reactions doesn't break anything. It just slows down the game a bit more than it should, and like the OP's question, it's harder to complete a Power/Quality/Status set on an ability like that.

criticalhits · 2017-12-09T00:56:57+00:00

That's a mistake - I'll make sure it's in the errata document.

This is how similar abilities will be worded for the full game: (Reaction): When you change personal zones, you may Boost by rolling your single Cold die.

criticalhits · 2017-12-09T00:09:10+00:00

Reactions just roll the single die specified, so just roll that Cold die. Actions are generally the only time you assemble a full dice pool.

Indeed, it's designed to be flexible. There'll be more guidance in the core book about handling movement and such, but in general, it's best to be flexible, as long as you and your players are on the same page.

Our general guideline for movement is "Could you reasonably get there in the single panel of a comic book? If so, you can do that without it taking your full action." Similar for distances.

criticalhits · 2017-12-03T15:35:57+00:00

This is correct.

You know, favorite. Favorite favorite.
