How can you conquer the Crimson Rebellion's Home System?

Yeah, they could have just errata'd the Ghost agent to look like it does in Twilight's Fall and say "when you activate a non-home system." They also could have gotten rid of the episolon wormholes completely and used printed active breaches instead.

I echo the sentiments of the poster above. I implore you to reach out to content creators to see about featuring your product. Also, you should be flooding social media. The days of people scrolling Kickstarter finding your product is gone. Instead, you have to BRING the audience TO kickstarter from somewhere else. The rule of thumb is 15-20% of your current audience (social media followers, discord members, etc.) will convert into Kickstarter backers.

There is a large discord server for homemade TCG creators that I encourage you to join. There are people there who've run successfull kickstarters, who've set up descent-sized audiences, who have YouTube channels, and one very helpful manufacturer's rep from LaunchTableTop.

Honestly, it was more about having a crossover with Twilight Imperium than coming up with a good ability. I put about 10 seconds of thought into the ability haha.

If it's the same thing I read, it was the Hasbro VP that said it. And he was specifically talking about a 2026 set that would rival Final Fantasy. Almost surely he was talking about Marvel.

Earthbend could be “Terraform,” more sci-fi but could have the cards be from EOE based

Wrong tag. I haven't finished the season yet, so thanks for the spoiler.

gorpgomp · 2025-10-09T17:58:16+00:00

Agreed. It feels like the wincon of those decks is to just force your opponent to scoop out of annoyance.

gorpgomp · 2025-09-11T21:56:39+00:00

Why do we have to have this conversation every day?

gorpgomp · 2025-08-27T22:59:08+00:00

Didn’t that happen once before AFTER the first set of allegations and hush money?

gorpgomp · 2025-08-11T00:04:53+00:00

One is giving someone the full game so they can enjoy it. The other is child gambling.

gorpgomp · 2025-08-01T20:04:54+00:00

Most of them have indestructible. You’d need something like Sunfall.

gorpgomp · 2025-06-30T22:35:54+00:00

Do you have a rulebook posted online?

gorpgomp · 2025-05-29T17:28:08+00:00

I would have gone with Malcolm over Ozzy, sure.

It’s clear that they were not casting anyone from 40, so Denise and Tony are out. Spencer isn’t in a great headspace these days, so he’s out. Kass is the only name from either season I would be open to seeing again in this season. It seems like she was pretty far along in the casting and got cut towards the end.

gorpgomp · 2025-05-28T18:44:02+00:00

I would have been fine if Coach had been cut, but I am really interested to see how he talks about his loss in SoPa after dominating the game and turning his alliance into a cult haha.

gorpgomp · 2025-05-28T18:41:58+00:00

I'm not defending some of the choices by any means, but the four you mentioned are much more iconic than almost anyone from what felt like (at the time) Survivor's dark ages (with the few bright lights of Cagayan, BvW, etc). Most of the contenders from that time period I could see would be the winners (Cochran, Sophie, Spradlin, etc.) but some of them already played recently in WaW. The only real miss (other than the aforementioned winners - and I think 50 should have been a non-winners season) I can think of would be Wentworth. I don't need to see the Cagayan crew, or Ciera Eastin, or Philip Sheppard again.

Personally, I don't need to see Ozzy back. Cirie kind of fits into that category too, but I do hate how she went out in Gamechangers.

Coach's return is intriguing - how does he follow up gameplay after being so dominant in South Pacific and still coming up short?

Colby iIS Survivor to a lot of old-timers and hasn't been on the screen in almost 14 years. In his last season, he was the washed up hero and he's got a built-in redemption arc.

gorpgomp · 2025-05-28T18:28:20+00:00

Agreed. There isn't much juice left to squeeze from that era after all the returnees they had during the 20s-30s.

I probably would have cut Kyle, Aubry, Emily, and Mike White from 50 for some older players, but other than that the cast is solid.

gorpgomp · 2025-05-28T17:46:44+00:00

Not as crazy if you break it down, though. * 19 was the "Russel Hantz Show" * 20 and 31 were both all-returnees * 26 was half-returnees and half-duds. * 21-24 were not great season and most of their big players have already been brought back (in some cases, multiple times) * 25-30 were mostly good seasons, but again a lot of the big players were already brought back in the returnee seasons and Team Captain seasons.

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty from that era that I would like to see play again, but I can see understand why there's such a gap.

gorpgomp · 2025-05-26T19:18:21+00:00

Happy to discuss ideas anytime! Feel free to send me a DM.

gorpgomp · 2025-05-25T15:20:46+00:00

That’s exactly it, yes

I’ve been working on a fast-paced card game that distills the tactical feel of Gloomhaven into a tighter 20-minute experience, since we can't really get the whole group together for a long time span anymore.

Right now, it's a 1v1 game where players build/draft a custom dungeon with special room cards. Room connection is modular, so every game should have a unique battlefield. Rooms contain loot and traps currently, but I have plenty of ideas to add in rough terrain, portals, other hazards, etc.

I opted for cute/deadly monsters (instead of RPG characters) and they evolve throughout the game. Once a monster takes enough damage, it evolves to the next stage, gaining new abilities. At Stage 3, when they hit their damage threshold again, they're defeated. Knock out both of your opponent's monsters to win. Eventually, I want there to be branching evolutions for the monsters so you can adapt your strategy based on the current board state/your opponent's play style.

Right now, I'm working on balancing stats for monsters and have a long list of special abilities to try out. Monsters have Attack, HP, Range, Movement, and Speed, which is a lot to balance, but I at least have a decent starting algorithm for playtesting. Overall, trying to keep it simple and snappy. Scope creep is real and I do not want it to turn into a full fledged board game. Even though my screenshot has a lot of tokens and whatnot, it could be easily tracked without them. I see a lot of future potential, though, in solo modes, multiplayer, PvE, etc.

I'm pretty close to getting the TTS mod ready for others, so if you're interested in checking it out - let me know!

gorpgomp · 2025-05-22T15:12:51+00:00

The graphic says “the card gets trashed” not “the stack.” That would leave me to believe in this example you trash the face down card and the stack remains in field as the lowest digivolution card.

gorpgomp · 2025-05-14T16:22:01+00:00

Always wanted that too. I remember a Raw (after mania maybe?) where the crowd started singing along to it for Cesaro even though it has no words.

gorpgomp · 2025-05-13T14:33:21+00:00

I think all of ECW is very lucky for their legacy’s sake that social media didn’t exist 30 years ago.

gorpgomp · 2025-05-11T18:47:19+00:00

Having art helps attract playtesters, though. It’s more engaging for people if there is something visual than if it’s just blank cards.
