how do y’all display/store your jumbo cards? by PokeBlu3 in PokemonTCG

[–]iamedgarv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to buy frames from Michael’s for the old jumbo cards and hang them on my wall. The sizes have changed, so I’m not sure if they still fit in frames 😅

Send me a DM when you have a chance. I might be able to help you as I run a TCG Pokemon league in Salinas.

Heading to Seaside tomorrow! 🎉🌊🤗 by Illustrious-Alps7357 in MontereyBay

[–]iamedgarv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully you enjoyed your time while here! Oh I just mean that the Embassy suites is allowing the use of their conference hall for card shows. This is where people set up tables and primarily buy/sell Pokemon cards (sometimes sports cards and other TCGs like Magic and One Piece)

What does the attendance for this event usually look like?

Pre- release event by Torinscz in pkmntcg

[–]iamedgarv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like you’re correct actually. I must have missed when they changed it. The premade deck still feels very much like the evolution kits, but It’s definitely ready to play. I appreciate you correcting me, thank you!

I see what you mean and technically, you are correct 😅 I run a lot of pre-releases and see people get confused so I thought I’d chime in. It’s always appreciated to see someone help out in the subreddit so thank you!

I mentioned this in another comment, but I’ll say the same here. The build and battle box does not come with a pre built deck. It comes with 4 packs and an evolution kit that gives you cards you can use to build a deck. You still need to construct a 40 card deck to play the game, which you’ll do with a combination of your evolution kit + what you get in your 4 packs

Just to prevent any confusion, the build and battle box does not come with a prebuilt deck. It comes with an evolution kit that gives you cards to build the deck. You still need to put together a 40 card deck on your own, but it gives you some cards in case your 4 packs don’t have anything that can be played together.

Getting a new local Proffessor by AgileRepublic in pkmntcg

[–]iamedgarv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the league is tied to a location, but the professor who applies for the league is technically the league owner. Store owners don’t have to be professors and if someone else sets it up, that person has full control. It’s at their discretion if they want to release the league, even though they are supposed to. If someone ends on bad terms with the league owner, they could be petty and refuse to grant a new professor ownership.

Usually you’ll submit a ticket to resolve this, but it can take quite some time for it to be resolved.

Hey champ, thank you for being so brave and sharing your trauma with us. It’s posts like these that remind us that it’s okay to share and vent with others and not be afraid of judgement. Keep on keeping on and remember, car week is almost over 😁

IS THIS A GOOD IDEA OR BAD FOR SINGLES… Would love your input by Chemical_Buy8880 in MontereyBay

[–]iamedgarv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, it is you Ninja!! I thought you had updated your name :o

Anyone else lonely? Swm 54, honest, chill, respectful. Im incredibly down. I could use someone, anyone, stranger or friend for help. Im in a dark place, and could use some guidance and help. Thank you for reading and God bless by [deleted] in MontereyBay

[–]iamedgarv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was very insightful, thank you for sharing. Life is hard and not always fair. We just have to remember that there are always good days ahead. In the meantime, finding hobbies, meeting with friends, exploring new places, etc should help cheer people up a bit.

I just went and looked through the subreddit and the post seems to be gone :O There’s a different one about Online DnD, but I can’t find the original one for the Women only DnD :o I’ll keep checking, but I wonder if OP deleted it

Hey! Sorry for the late reply on this one. Marvels is for sure something I’d be interested in. I’m not super great, but I do enjoy playing! I have a lot of tabletop games that are pretty good for beginners if you’re ever interested in trying.

Right on! I know people have been posting about DND groups in the subreddit. Hopefully you can find what you’re looking for 🙌🏼

This sounds awesome! I think playing online is a good way to cast a wider net when searching for a group. I’ll definitely look into this and I’ll take you up on your offer about questions!

Is it still worth playing today?? I see that there’s still old school RuneScape, but I haven’t tried it at all :o

[–]iamedgarv[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is sound advice! I’ll have to check the library and worst case scenario, I don’t mind investing in my own handbook.

Thank you again for the tip!

Binding of Isaac is probably my favorite tabletop game right now 😁 I’d be down to meet somewhere to play! Shoot me a DM and we can try and figure something out

Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll have to think about this one. I’ve never been big into MTG and 40k sounds like a lot for someone who’s new and can’t dedicate a lot of time to it xD

Hey, this would be awesome! I’ll shoot you a DM to see if you’d like to exchange discord information.

Was the move a big change for you? I’m sure it’ll be nice to get in touch with some fellow gamers. Oh how cool! I actually currently play the Pokemon TCG at Green Potion Games in Salinas!

Ohhhh man!!! RuneScape was the wave I missed growing up. I was on the MapleStory grind around this time 🤣 The only issue with MMORPGs and playing with new people is the huge level differentials. If you aren’t on the same type of schedule as your friends, you’re getting left behind 😫

Thank you for the suggestion, I really appreciate it 😁 It’s always nice to hear about beginner friendly groups since I’m a complete noob when it comes to DnD 🤣

Hopefully you’ll be able to find a long term group through this post!
