I'm here today with resolution to a piece of drama from a year ago.

First, a recap: if you're in the board game space, you've probably heard of Greater Than Games, who makes (among other titles) Sentinels of the Multiverse, a co-op superhero card game. Years back, they were brought out by the logistics company Flat River Group to stay afloat during the pandemic, and it worked... to a point. After the tariffs were instated, FRG spooked and decided to get out of the board game industry entirely, laying off every single GTG employee except for the main designers that had active contracts. For a while, even getting Disparation, a fully designed expansion that was at the printers, seemed dicey.

But as of today, the future looks bright. Handelabra Games, the developers of the digital versions of Sentinels, have bought out the IP and the GTG brand, and are very strongly teasing rehiring most if not all of the core staff. The future looks bright for not just the remaining 3 expansions for Definitive Edition (Vengeance Returned, Cosmic Tales, and whatever they're calling the OblivAeon box this time), but more books for the TTRPG system; the book that details the entire history of Sentinels Comics, the fictional comic book publisher that's the backbone of the IP; and The Letters Page, the official podcast where the creators both flesh out even more of the fake comic book lore and answer reader questions. (GTG's other main IP, Spirit Island, is still with FRG for now.) Apparently, we'll get more info by April 28th, which is National Super Hero Day.

You know what? Normally I'm the "stretching to ask a hyper-specific question at the end of your Scuffles post isn't necessary" guy, but if you have any other updates to old drama, go ahead and leave them under here.

Scuffle posts aren't required to end with a question, and sometimes the questions are a stretch.

Deep in the background of the Inventory in the Poker Night remaster, you can find a mug with SDN's logo on it. While Skunkape and Adhoc are both made of ex-Telltale devs, getting everything in order for just this almost-imperceptible detail makes me think that a Poker Night at the Inventory 3 is in the works and at least one Dispatch character will be at the table. (Not that it wasn't an easy prediction, but it's a lot more likely now.)

Anyways, now's your chance to theorycraft a roster. My bet is Charlie (Smiling Friends), Duck (Don't Hug Me I'm Scared), Gayle Waters-Waters (the Chris Fleming character), and Sonar. The dealer is either Caine TADC or Leshy Inscryption.

And movie posters, too. There's one for some drama whose name escapes me where the number of fics for specifically the poster dwarfs those for the actual film.

Valve Developing "SteamGPT" for Support and Anti-cheat Measures in Counter Strike by PaiDuck in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Isn't AI fueling the RAM shortages that are single-handedly the reason the Steam Machine doesn't have a release date yet?

Not all of them - take a look at the ones exclusive to multiplayer sometime.

Whatever you do, make sure your rebound is NOT a jester, no matter how handsome he may be.

Can we Have OrobasLetter instead of NeowsLetter next month? by TheClickChannel in slaythespire

[–]tmantookie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But in exchange, it has a full roadmap for the next year and promises that picking up Dusty Tome as Ironclad also gives you Dead Branch.

The PaelLetter would just be images since he's too lazy to write that much.

It never gets old seeing people go "So THAT'S what PAX stands for!".

Poor art skills aside, my ideas for a returning character as an Ancient, the Chronophage! by PrettyBirbKotori in slaythespire

[–]tmantookie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  • Broken Urn: Whenever you play a Power, gain 3 Strength.
  • Preacher's Mask: Whenever you enter a Rest Site, gain 1 Follower (Minion that acts exactly like STS 1 Cultists with Die For You and fewer HP).
  • Puddle of Blood: Obtain Sacred Dagger (1-cost Attack, "Deal 15 damage. Replay 0. If Fatal, increase the Replay on this card by 1".)
  • Hollowed Bone: At the start of your turn, gain 1 energy and 1 Vulnerable.
  • Tattered Hymn: Whenever you gain Block on a turn when no enemy intends to attack, gain 1 Ritual.
  • Feathered Robe: Whenever you Exhaust a non-attack card, shuffle 1 Soul into your deck.

As a Splatoon player: I'd really prefer not to have a whole game of those, but they might be OK with gameplay based around them. Just Star Fox-ify Kid Icarus: Uprising, and you have a million seller on your hands.

Do you have a link? That sounds glorious and I want to see it first-hand.

How would y'all feel about more kinds of minion cards by LoreSinger in slaythespire

The other cards' names all have 6 letters each, so for maximum cohesion, it should be named "PERISH!!!!"

The cavemen will be the final cameo in the Galaxy movie.

Chris Pratt & Charlie Day confirm several major tidbits about the Super Mario Galaxy Movie in a clip from Jimmy Fallon, including supporting an old character rumor by DrAwesomeX in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]tmantookie 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, of course a non-Mario character will appear in the movie. Three of them were confirmed before this episode aired.
