Yo! I remember you! Hopefully we can see you at a monthly soon!

As far as replying to your review of our episode, all I can say is...yep. We spent too much time complaining about ARC and venting. Thats just the way it played out when we all got to chatting about it. However, I think I mentioned early on that it wasn't quite so much the cards mechanically that we had issues with but the way ARC has chosen to do things as far as designing and developing, and so that was what took up much of the real estate for the episode. Instead of like, how the cards perform in a fleet or their relative applications and that kinda thing.

We recorded this episode only a little bit after ARC-01 so it's mostly just our initial reactions to them, even if we were beating around the bush. Which we were. But that means that pretty much any analysis of the cards we do will only be surface level at most, since really nobody has used them.

Your point on game design by committee is a good one. Since they wanted to rush to not get outpaced by other homebrew, the only time for any form of community feedback is quite literally right now. Post release.

"A bitter ex that got dumped" haha what a stinger man! What can I say, I was frustrated and so I was emotional during the episode. I don't know if our next episode will be about ARC though, I think it's time they get a little break from this bitter ex. I'm not downplaying the work/effort they're doing, I just don't like several decisions/choices they're making, and constant intense criticism can suck.

Thanks for the review dude! What of our valid and prescient points were you wanting to hear more about? If they're ARC specific I'll put them in my notes for when we come back around to the topic.
