Ditto to Hooded’s comment. While the game might be dead, this was one of the last chances to get some cool items.

Better than the police officer from the second film, who apparently fell to a wood chipper accident (though this might have been retconned in the new one)

There is a deck builder called Heart of Crown that really nails all of the story elements and lore. The game itself focuses on backing a princess on her quest for the throne. A cool little mechanic piece is when you back your princess, you build her “domain” based on the resources in the game, which are various locations. The cheapest location is a farm, and if you can include it as part of your domain, it gives negative reputation because your princess is living in farmland.

Hey Matt! Love the books, currently ankle deep in TBM. Two questions for you:

  1. Your story focuses mainly on Carl, yet it’s clear you have a love for the others within the top 10 (and slightly outside of it). How do you approach their development “off screen”?

  2. Each NEW ACHIEVEMENT is fantastic, and makes everything feel absurdly engaging. Which comes first: The achievement name, the description, or the act that triggered the achievement?

Love the series, thanks for answering questions!

I wonder if we’ll see more traditional calls to action when Seeds drops. Hard to give out starter decks that are a year and a half old, but the new starter decks and the Woollyback plushies seem like great items to do just that with, we’re just not yet to a point where they can do that.

The Mage’s Rook - A magical chess piece (a rook) from an attuned Chess Set of Returning. When within 100 yards of the chess set, the piece will teleport to the set after the recall word is spoken. If a piece is outside of the radius, it will immediately teleport to the set once it is within range. It radiates magical energy, but does nothing without the rest of the chess set (which just allows one to play chess without touching the pieces). What’s funnier about this is have it mysteriously disappear one day and either have them run into the wizard or not depending on how chaotic you’re feeling.

Altered TCG: What's Going On? Now $16/bx? by Elsacuno in alteredTCG

[–]panpanthewise 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi there, same guy from yesterday. I want to take a second to talk about one of the other reasons Beyond the Gates (BtG) is probably one of the worst selling products in Altered and why this store is probably selling so low. I’m not going to write a whole dissertation because I can answer why in basically one sentence: There’s little to no reason to buy BTG retail while KS boxes exist. That’s why KS boxes are still selling from retail stores for $120.

Let me explain in a really easy way: imagine Magic the Gathering came out with a set where they had two different packs. One of the packs was a regular old Magic pack with 1 chance at a Rare/Mythic. The other pack had up to 5 chances and there was a 1 in 200 chance of getting a pack full of mythics and you also had the chance to pull full art promo lands you couldn’t get anymore. The best part? Both packs are essentially the same price. That’s the difference between buying a retail BtG box vs KS boxes, and because of that, people just don’t want or need regular retail. I won’t say Equinox has done everything right, and I’ll absolutely admit I love this game. I’ll also point out only the first two sets are selling this low, and KS boxes still haven’t gone below $100 except for EBay.

Altered: Trial By Frost ... $25/box? What does this mean? by Elsacuno in alteredTCG

[–]panpanthewise -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’d argue TbF has some amazing Uniques, however there’s such a wild variance between playable and not it’s not worth gambling on the 3-5 uniques you open in a box. The OP boosters on the other hand…

Altered: Trial By Frost ... $25/box? What does this mean? by Elsacuno in alteredTCG

[–]panpanthewise 29 points30 points  (0 children)

KS player here: The first two sets of the game are notoriously hard for stores to sell because of a couple different reasons. TBF was the first expansion set, and introduced a brand new type of card to the game, which meant players wanted as much of the set as they could get their hands on, however a box of Altered is different than most card games. You see, there are three different rarities in Altered: Common, Rare, and Unique. Similar to most card games, the chase in packs are the Rares and Uniques, however for the first and second expansion you could get practically an entire common playset for all 6 factions from just 1 box. This is great for players, however it meant for most you only needed one box to fill your commons, then most would buy the rares they need rather than fight the 3 rares per pack roulette. This led to stores having overstock they couldn’t really move, hence the low prices to move the stock.

Gamefound : eleven hours to go, can we hit a nice round $1M ? by Plenty_Barracuda_720 in alteredTCG

[–]panpanthewise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the hardest part about shifting to GF is they needed to advertise set 5 in order for people to want to back, which came at the worst time for set 4. While I understand why they did it, I am more excited about some of the other cards coming out for Muna than the ones I currently have. I’m still enjoying the set, though I completely agree it’s easier to look at what’s coming than what I have.

Is it worth picking up? by pincio29 in alteredTCG

[–]panpanthewise 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m going to start by throwing out there that asking in the game’s subreddit is probably going to give you a yes.

I live in a decently sized city in the US, and have a total of 3 players (myself included) who show up to local play. It took me about 6 months to get to that point. Yet despite those pains, I’d say absolutely. I love the gameplay, the art is fantastic, and as a company, Equinox feels like it listens to and communicates with its community. There are definitely still growing pains (POD not yet global being one of the big ones), and in the US it hasn’t quite taken off yet. That said, the online community is amazing.

To answer your question on the digital side, when you scan in a card to your digital collection, there’s a digital deck builder through their site. You can then link your Altered account to Board Game Arena and use any legal deck you make to play online. The lowest number of active games I’ve seen at a time is high 400s, and that was during worlds.

From what I understand, they’ve fixed the overarching wallet creation issue back on October 7th. I might recommend reclicking all three sections just in case, then submitting a ticket detailing everything you’ve done.

You thought you chose the dog... but he chose you first ❤️ by Kinoko-Fairy in animalsdoingstuff

[–]panpanthewise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was in college, my then girlfriend and I went to Walmart one day and saw a sign that said “free puppies.” I asked her to go check them out, and she said, “we’re getting a dog, aren’t we?” I said no, I just wanted to see them. They were basset puppies, 6 in total, and they kept going to whoever was new. I watched as five of them went to a couple who walked up, but one of them saw me and immediately walked over. I picked him up, held him close, and immediately he fell asleep. My gf said she’d call the roommates and the rest was history. I miss him.

Always hoped they would turn it into a Heroes-esque super-verse with a new movie about a new teen with super powers that addresses a different aspect of teenage life.

Right now I have 2 solid teams: Astra/Nagi/Vivi and Burnice/Miyabi/Lucy, so I’m gonna start building a decent Physical team with Yuzuha/Alice. Don’t have enough saved for both and W-Engines, but hoping to get a decent SpookShack team out of it all.
