There are second hand shipping services and package forwarding services specifically for this purpose. Look it up and find one suitable for your area.
Do keep in mind that they cost a lot and there's an increased risk of them pilfering through your package compared to in-continent shipping. They come up with all sort of bullsiht excuses like looking for durgs and half of your pokey mans cards will be gone by the end of it.
But if you absolutely need to use them, they exist.

Because they didn't start to deliver for retail (other than stores who bought on kickstarter)?
Retail I think should start by end of March and with it stores should get OP stuff (overlord decks & promos)

Nah; I might one day get more and open them for the novelty but this one I'm keeping purely as is for collection's sake. Ideally I could get one sealed pack for every set that was localised here and keep them together. If I ever do get another or more to open I might open this one and keep a different one, as this is a little scratched, but I like having it. Incidentally while looking around I also found a listing for what the seller claims are fake packs. It has me quite confounded.

Giving away the game's theme with this one. I should get back to working more on this, had some stuff come up irl. Deity cards are essentially extra deck monsters, and currently lack summoning sickness.
3 - Father Dagon - 4F1D4W
At the end of your turn, pay 1F or return this card to your Deity deck.

most TTS mods are just a .json (can be opened in notepad) and have links to assets (hosted usually either on imgur or the steam cloudbut really can be anywhere) so ripping TTS assets is one of the easiest things in the world. They do come in a funky deck formatting but it's nothing that GNU Image Manipulator can't fix.

Yeah. I'm always making progress, but sometimes it's not the progress that I think it will be.
For example, I think last time you asked, I said I might have some videos to show this month, but I don't. I wanted to show off cards being animated and moving around in the test client in response to stuff happening on the server (basically server-client input-output stuff). But I realized I wanted turn-based actions (eg. draw on your draw step) to work similar to how I had planned to implement card effects, and that would include player input stuff, so I ended up implementing part of the card effects system way before I planned on doing it.
So I guess implementing card scripts will be easier now when I get to that because I already did half of it (ie. I've done the effect data that the script will get compiled to).
Though I think I can get those videos I planned within the next couple of weeks. I'm working on client-server input stuff right now. As far as I can tell, that's the last major thing for the rules engine before I can finally start implementing actual cards.
As consolation, >webm related is the first 600-ish cards I plan on implementing. I came up with this list like in the middle of last year, and have been adding to it a little as new sets have been coming out. Try to see how many cards you can recognize despite the low resolution and bitrate.
The idea is that these cards touch on almost every major mechanic in some way, so in implementing these 600 cards, I'll have already done most of the rules engine work for all11000~cards in the game, so implementing full sets should be way faster.
For the first public release (alpha), I'd like to have every card from Royal Road Double (2025's block) and the upcoming block. I'm committed to it happening this year.
>>
>>97626975
But it's impossible to right the ship at this point. They accepted an eternal format from jump without cementing the fundamental philosophy of the game design. Now fast forward over half a decade and they're already dabbling in powercreep and flavor of the month hero releases while milking collector fomo on the side. The older sets are unrecognizable from the modern releases. We'll never have the wild west feel again now that the game perpetually stagnates and each meta is solved in record time every new season.

Got to play Warlord with the new decks for the first time and some of those games are EXPLOSIVE! Game 1 I played Nothrog and had the mount, pike and an action to Journey and hacked apart the opponent's formation really quickly. They had 4 characters by the end of round 1 and were dead round 2. The last game we played I was Deveranian and had all characters in my opening hand so by the end of turn 1 I had 4 chars in the front row with 18 AC each. The other games also lasted only a few rounds as well, but they weren't as explosive turn 1.

Hololive is developing a new technology where cards are tracked on special mats which will allow physical cards to be used for gameplay.
You can even battle CPU opponents as well.

I vaguely recall hearing about something I think was called an Eye Toy that I believe was something like that? Others here probably know better and can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it was a camera that could track cards? This was years back, but I guess it must not have taken off because it's pretty obscure now.

Still trying to figure out where to toss pictures. For now here are the fakes / proxies. Two on the right are blatantly the latter, with a watermark too, but what I find funny is I think they were made by glueing a printed image of the proxied card onto actual cards. I could be wrong though. The four on the left are odd. They all have a holo effect on them, hard to see here, and all are in poor condition. More strikingly, they're the wrong size. They're all YGO card sized.

Warlord constructed is also fun. The mercenary warlord from the starter has the posibility to win the game during the first turn.

that seems like it would be an extremely dead-end technology at this point. why build special mats? couldn't you just have players set up a game and let your app do card recognition? off the shelf software is a decade plus past that already, recognition was one of the first practical AI applications.

No worries, Lorcana Bros are few and far between here, so we've got to stick together.
That being said, while looking for the decklist for your precon, I accidentally stumbled on to this:
https://youtu.be/JMNYSswTcWM?si=w-LZqKeHIw9GtAuJ
Which is slightly out of date since a few new sets have come out in the meantime, but he does a good job of explaining how that precon works and give some reasonable upgrade ideas. He does say in the video that his upgrade could cost up to $75 dollars, but if you look at the prices now, the most expensive card in the deck has dropped down to about $7.25, so without doing the math, I can say that it will be far more affordable today than it was when the video came out.
Anyhow, I'm going to take a quick look through the more recent sets and see if there are any that would make good substitutes.

All right, here's my take on this one. I call this deck 'Battle Acts'. Most of it runs on the combos I suggested previously. It has character removal as well as a bit of extra card draw, plus there's not many uninkables to block your ink ramp. Mulan should be your finisher if your other characters can't end it first. It's untested, so it might need some balancing, but I think the concept is strong enough to have some potential.

>>97635122
same, still having trouble against enemies that play R/W and everything they drop is just a blocker. Like what are you even going to do when the board is filled with blockers? The only deck that even has a board wipe is either Wing or Big Zam. They announced a new board wipe and it's ST09 lmao, does R/W deck really need the board wipe and a blocker with suppression .

What do you even do when your enemy plays blockers in Gundam? It's manageable in Turn 3, but after that? They just drop 3 blockers in 2 turns, so what's the game play here? I've been really stumped because there's no good trade against blockers, especially against a board that has 4 of them.

I just read the rules to the NeuroScape TCG and it seems pretty fun. It’s basically magic with a Don deck and heavy cyberpunk influence and mechanics. I got some demo decks from my LGS and I’m gonna try to rope a friend into playing it and see how it actually plays out

Explain what you mean by life decks. Do you mean a separate set of cards made up of cards that do not start in your main deck that you lose as damage? Or do you mean when you take damage, you mill cards?

it's gacha taken to the logical limit, you roll dice to see if you get the horse you want and the equipment you want, you roll the dice to see if the horse doesnt fail in her training, you roll the dice to get a good event for more stats and special skills, and finally in races you roll the dice to see who wins.

Oh, I am undoubtedly missing a ton of them. Z/X is the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to cats.
I finally found the one I've been posting for years, both in foil and non-foil, so I'm very happy. The loli and the kitty are so cute.
Oh, and the card on the right is not a cat, but I needed it when I saw it.

B/R, I have Amuro but he's the only character that rests units and the red cards don't deal enough ping damage to clear them. At turn 4 and below it's manageable, but the moment it hits around turn 5-7, the enemy just consistently drops Strike packs, rick dias, and justice gundams. https://exburst.dev/gundam/deck/149017

Erm I had a $5 off coupon so it was only $25...
But even if I ordered the deck only online on Ebay that's still like $20 with shipping so you know... why not get the starter deck AND booster pack from the starter deck along with paper deck box?
The booster packs online are like $10 each
>>
>>
>>97642374
Yeah, I don't mind paying a little extra, like I said, these are the first physical Riftbound cards I've seen ever since the game launched in the US. I'm sure they have them at this huge card shop near my house but they always have stuff super marked up thanks to the scalper boom so I don't really bother going there unless I'm *DESPERATE* to rip packs.
They had a couple blisters of Spiritforged too but they were $11.99 each. I passed on those for sure. This was the only Riftbound starter deck they had left and it just happened to be my favorite, so I took it as fortune smiling on me.

Deck is going in too many directions. 2 of this, 2 of that, something here, something there. Little ping, little beat down. Figure out what your win condition is and build backwards. This deck reads like you were thinking about "if this" and "in case of that" and you just gotta pick a bit and commit.

Any judges here? What do you guys usually charge stores that need you for stuff like the upcoming "Store Championship" events the Gundam card game's doing?
I've got a full time job, and I'm thinking of putting myself up for hire on weekends when judges are needed, and I wanna get an idea of where I should aim at for my rates.

Pokemon aside, what are the most casual (alive) tcgs?
By casual I mean cheap, easy to learn, new players have a chance of winning, and all/most strategies have a chance against the best decks.
If you don't know any tcg that fits all these, the one that fits the criteria the most is fine

playing the demo decks against myself on TTS and it does seem fun, though i can't quite understand what the Wonderland faction identity is supposed to be. Luck into one of the few cards that give you more cards (white rabbit/hatter) so you can steamroll the game and win? With a side of getting tokens (that don't even have a token card, for shame) if you have a lot of characters in play and decide to spec into spells? hopefully they don't leave it so underbaked.
and also the rulebook could use some polish. questions raised by cards like "what happens to my RAM card when it's destroyed?" and "what happens to characters when they hit 0 toughness due to x/-1 counters?", not that i want answers to these questions right now but it's sad the rulebook doesn't answer. or maybe i'm blind. Meanwhile Psychosis, a keyword for one faction, got a whole page, when it's just "if you tap this guy to attack or use abilities, roll a die and if you roll less than the pych number you get attacked instead of the ability/attack resolving". While i get that it's a quick-start rulebook and not a set of comprehensive rules you can use to learn machine code, you gotta at least keep a FAQ for what your card effects do.

When does rotation happen in Lorcana?
>>97646432
>I thought Lorcana was expensive
An anon ITT helped me build this deck >>97638471 and it wasn't that expensive. I'm not sure about meta decks though
>>
>>97646432
>Is it good? I remember a huge boom when it was released, but I'm not hearing anything about it anymore.
I played the first 2 sets and I liked it. The alternating action turn structure does make it feel pretty unique and having two sides of the battlefield, space and land, that for the most part are separate is neat.
I still do the prerelease stuff for the game and always have a good time. I also occasionally hop on karrabast which is an online sim and jam a few games.
I know next set rotation happens so honestly that's probably the best time to hop in if you decide to, just gotta hope the game can survive the rotation.
In terms of players I can only speak for my local scene but when I see them at weeklies they consistently have like 8-15 people which is really good for my area. Gundam and Riftbound usually only get 4-8 for their weeklies around here.

Good! I like games with rotation. Imo, it's better than powercreep, and old cards can be reprinted, making them legal again.
>just gotta hope the game can survive the rotation
Is the situation that dire?
>Riftbound usually only get 4-8 for their weeklies
I thought it was the new hottest thing

>>97646555
I've just seen a few games where rotation happens and enfranchised players use it as an excuse to get out because they don't wanna have to buy all new stuff. Could happen could not.
The issue with Riftbound is price and availability. Every store in our town is selling at scalper prices, cheapest we can get boxes is like $180 which has driven some people away. There's also another store that runs it on a different night. They could get more players, I've never been there because I work nights.

>being a YGO refugee
That explains it. But you should keep in mind that competitive ygo, like some other games, is unnecessarily expensive.
>>97646585
>Could happen could not
If the players are buying the new sets, I don't think they are going to quit. But what you said makes sense for people already looking for reasons to quit
>Every store in our town is selling at scalper prices
Fuck them and the people that pay these prices

The first rotation happened with set 9 (Fabled) and we've been told it should happen annually. As long as they continue the same schedule of releasing 4 sets a year, then next rotation should be with set 13, where sets 5 - 8 will drop out. So, since set 11 was just released, we're right in the middle of rotation season right now.

Indeed. Weirdly enough I wasn't priced out. The game is just unplayable now.
>>97647455
Okay nice. Do people play the infinity format at all?
>>
We should try making a game again. We could start with "Wizard Battle" since its the easiest to design. Then, if we end up finishing the game, we could move on to different types of games.
Anyone can suggest things, as long as they explain why they think we should use their idea. Actually explain the positive and negative aspects of what you're suggesting.
>>
>>
>>97647492
To be honest, I haven't been on the competitive scene since Fabled came out, due to an injury (prognosis: the cast should come off in 2 weeks), so I couldn't give you anything from personal experience, and since barely anyone talks about Lorcana here... I'm kind of in the dark on that one. I hope Infinity tournaments are alive and well, but I've prepared solely for Standard in case they're not. Of course, demand for each format could vary wildly from place to place, so I guess it's up to the store/venue.
Sorry for the non-answer.

Zatch Bell card game spell books instead of a deck
the Zatch Bell card game had you put your cards in a spell book instead of a deck, when you take damage you turn pages, you can also turn pages on your own up to 3 times per turn if I'm remembering correctly
you can only use cards from the two pages visible
you lose if you reach the end and cannot turn a page
I just think it's cool
it would also fit the wizard theme

>>
>>
>>97647756
positives besides being cool would be never needing to shuffle and instead placing cards in the book to always have what you need in 3 page turns and placing high cost cards near the end when you can actually afford to use them
this reduces rng and prevents unusable cards from appearing
the negatives are that it is basically a life deck system which a lot of people don't like, and placing all your used cards back into there spell book slots when you're done playing might be a bit of a pain

>Weirdly enough I wasn't priced out

Yeah. I really dislike what the game became. I'm fine with combos, but 1-card making full boards, negates, decks that can play through multiple disruptions and turn-zero plays aren't my thing
