So, can anyone tell me what those really really REALLY bright red cards are for? The G2G twitter feed showed a couple of tables playing Sentinels, and the first thing I noticed were those bright red cardboard beacons.
I'm guessing it's an updated/modified turn order cheat sheet, but I'd like to know :)
(BTW, this is the pic I'm mentioning: pic.twitter.com/9OxO9BkHCI)
They're the backs of the Vengeance cards, I believe.
That makes sense... I should have guessed that, lol. Excitement got the better of me.
Thanks!
I would have to agree. I see several of the guys from the Indy group there and it is most likely from today's release party. Can't wait to get my hands on the new decks.
Yeah, that't the release party. I was virtually there!
I wasn't sure if Andy was going to have it up in time, so I didn't get to join in. Oh well, maybe next release...
I see me in that pic!
(I'm the laptop.)
And a find laptop you (and Anna, and Scott, and, uh, Malcolm, and, uh am I forgetting anyone?!) were!
I got on for about 10 minutes after I got back from Birthday lunch. Everyone was just playing games at tables, but I did get to look at the photos and see the WotC ad.
WotC as in Wizards of the Coast? What was going on there?
Wrath of the Cosmos.
Oh. Never heard of it. Wonder if they intentionally rigged their acronym to farm Google searches or the like....
On a vaguely related topic, someone showed off a new deckbuilding Kickstarter game the other night, and I didn't quite catch the name (I want to say it was Heroes of Metro City or something close to that). Sounded interesting, but the game had no art so I couldn't quite bring myself to care...but the concept was supposed to be that, instead of building a deck of full of existing superheroes, you build a deck which represents a single original superhero, and I found that concept quite appealing.
Heh, no, we just came up with a name we really liked, used it a bunch, and then wrote down the acronym and went, "Oh. Hell."
But by that time we were already very attached to the name. It fits. It's good. And it's not like we use the acronym of the name of expansion in an official in game or business way.
No underhanded intent here!
At least, not with the name of that expansion...
I also logged into the call for about 10 minutes sometime around 3:30 or 3:45 Central time, but kept the microphone off because my two kids had major cabin fever and were making a real racket. Eventually had to scram just to deal with them, and because nobody near the computer was actively playing.
The funny part to me is that using just the first name "Wrath" doesn't really work for me and my friends either, because we played WoW, and that was shorthand for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, so we're probably just gunna end up calling it "cosmos"
The official product code abbreviation is "SOTM-WCOS" :)
Oh, so it's the next SOTM expansion? Well, now I want to see this ad.
I want to start seeing episodes of "Space Wraith: Coast-to-Coast".
