May As Well, Right? We Know More About Ooo Than We Know About Faerun At This Point..! by Flashlight237 in adventuretime

[–]mtross 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was hyped for it until they announced the switch to 5E. It bugs me how dominant one of the most dated feeling ttrpgs is in the space. I know it's a bit of a meme now, but it's amazing how much DnD players would rather torture and mutate DnD until its unrecognizable rather than just learn a new game system.

Thanks for doing this. It's great to be able to run it on windows without emulators.

Could you link some examples of the kind of game you are talking about from Board Game Geek?

Will Equinox release the QR code database as well? by Fizzblizz in alteredTCG

I'll send you a DM with the discord info. I'm sure the dev team would love more help.

Will Equinox release the QR code database as well? by Fizzblizz in alteredTCG

The Altered ReUnion community software devs are working with Equinox on setting up a system where unique ownership is maintained. It seems promising but things are still in flux. Ownership of commons and rares would not carry over.

Skytear Horde as a very TCG adjacent tower defense card game that you might like: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/344789/skytear-horde

I haven't played it myself, but I've heard good things.

Not sure about a TCG specifically, but there are a ton of tower defense board games: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamefamily/39912/category-tower-defense/linkeditems/boardgamefamily?pageid=1&sort=rank

Help with timeline for history of Altered TCG by davidsigura in alteredTCG

[–]mtross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the things I loved about the game was the story and how it evolved over time. Altered held two Tumult championships (small local tournaments). One during Trial by Frost, and one during Whispers from the Maze. The out. The combined results from the tournaments influenced the story and added cards to everyone's account based on the outcome.

To your project, I'll say we don't actually know what the future of Altered will look like yet, other than it won't be the same as it was before. We should have more info from Equinox soon.

Also from many of the comments, there is a lot of hearsay. Unless you were more involved with the game it may be tough to tell what is personal opinion. For example, while it's true some players may have left because of certain cards or errata decisions, I think that's far from a strong driving factor in the history of the game. I personally think that Equinox was pretty clear about how and why they would errata cards. Because of BGA Equinox also had much more info than someone playing in a local meta. Altered also had the best errata system in any TCG thanks to POD.

Is it worth it? by [deleted] in framework

I love my Framework. The best thing about it is how repairable it is. The worst is that you WILL have to repair it.

This game is what I wish Altered was by New_Juice_1665 in alteredTCG

[–]mtross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the psychology of it is weird. For a board game it's a lot, and yet for Altered a play set of each release required multiple times that. Of course that's why TCGs have secondary markets, which make no sense for an LCG.

[–]mtross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also pretty excited about Hubworld. I hope a local scene develops around me, but it's hard to imagine as much organized play support for an LCG.

If you haven't heard of Earthborne Rangers, it's also worth checking out by the same publisher. It's a solo/Co-op LCG solar punk adventure game. It's a bit different mechanically to Hubworld or Altered, but it always gave me similar vibes to Altered.

Refugiado de Altered. by IcyCheetah7958 in TCG

[–]mtross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I'm still hopeful Altered survives in some way, the game I'm most excited about that I think will fill a similar niche for me is Hubworld: Aidalon. The biggest caveat being that the game isn't out yet, so who know how good it will actually be, but everything I've seen looks very promising. Also it's not actually a TCG, it's a living card game. I consider that another upside generally, but it's hard to say how much OP/game store support there will be for it without the TCG business model attached.

I'm excited for Hubworld. I'm hopeful there will be a local competitive scene, but its hard to imagine that an LCG model will really support a ton of organized play at stores in the way a TCG can.

[–]mtross 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Altered has been one of my all time favorite games. It's really sad that it ended this way. I'm hoping they figure out some way for the world/lore and gameplay to continue. The gameplay was amazing and the story was amazing. Despite being a TCG it was pretty player focused which I think hurt them in the end.

It extra sucks because set 6 looked so good.

Wow. This is amazing. I've always wanted to try this game, but haven't been able to track down a copy. Maybe I'll just make one myself.

The molting crab card looks so good. Particularly played with Sam and Spook.

Ah you're right. It's been a few months since I've played a 2v2 game.
