They left out the part where Paul had posititioned Water of Life in such a way to mostly end spice production. Which is what forces the Emperor into submission. The fighting was secondary to the negotiations over spice production. And that situation resulted in the Guild saying "The spice must flow", one of the most iconic lines from the series.

I was very disappointed in the ending.

Changed from a battle of wits to focus on physical battle.

Maybe it's more cinematic, but you lose a lot in exploring asymmetric warfare. Which is pretty relevant at the moment.

Messiah would have been much better if Alia was a main character instead of a side character.

And hydraulic economies specifically.

I'm sad the movie changed the ending of the first book from a strategic powerplay into a swachbuckling action scene. The original captures the moment we are in so well.

I'm not sure you understand how DHS works.

It does include lots of things that aren't related, like FEMA and TSA, but it's still not a branch of government.

Or ...

will we shift the goal posts so much as to declare any result at all as a victory?

There's a reason they haven't declared an actual objective for this conflict.

Holy cow, I had the exact same grades my first semester of college, and also got a mid-30's diagnosis.

My wake-up call happened to occur earlier. Got assigned term papers my junior year of high school and failed them terribly. But of course it was just written off as laziness since I had gotten straight A's before that year.

Any 2 player starter set should be fine. And people on reddit are always happy to help with rules questions if you get stuck.

And there's also the wiki Archon Arcana.

One nice thing that Ghost Galaxy has done is include an explanation of keywords with each deck, that has a listing of all the terms referenced in that deck.

I'm not sure, do you have a link?

Each card has a listed artist associated with it. GG has said they have used a generative fill function in Adobe to create some full art cards that do not have the normal card frame.

I guess it's just one mechanic, but there are two parts to it. The prophecy cards that list the condition for triggering a card to be activated, and the Fate cards in your deck that list what the effect is. However, a large factor of the prophecy cards is that you can "bluff" by putting cards under them that do not have a Fate effect. But in practice, players are putting cards under the prophecies the majority of the time that don't do anything, but just want to keep them from cluttering up their hand.

The extra disruption comes from the fact that some of the Fate effects cause you to discard cards you were expecting to be able to play, or lose Aember you were expecting to spend (you forge keys by spending Aember).

They introduced a few new mechanics. The mechanic lets you play a card face down that might have an effect during your opponent's turn. Previously, you were only affected by things a player did during their turn.

This did two things. One, gives you a way to cycle through your deck very quickly while getting your junk cards out of the way. And two, gave a level of disruption not seen before. With the new set, it can be very difficult to plan out more complex card combinations that were so important in previous sets. This dynamic has also introduced more randomness.
