@SaintWacko he says in the video, it's some magnifying glass for picture viewing he got on amazon

MadMAxJr

Soccer needs to add a new role to the field. The team wizard.

It worked for Blood Bowl, I think it could do wonders here.

badp

5:08 PM

uh

if by "wizard" you mean a dude who kinda can cover any role, then soccer does have that

I think.

Sweeper (association football)

The sweeper is a defensive position in football, so called because their job is to 'sweep up' any attacking moves which pass other defenders. It was most commonly used by football teams in Europe until the 1990s. While the position usually has solely defensive duties, Franz Beckenbauer, one of the most famous sweepers, became famous for adding an offensive component of the ball playing defender. Other notable sweepers include Ivano Blason, Gaetano Scirea, Bobby Moore, Franco Baresi and Elias Figueroa. It is generally considered a highly specialized position. The sweeper is usually placed between...

MadMAxJr

Huh. So a role of 'so if you spot a weakness in our line, you cover it'

badp

DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE WHOLE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES DEDICATED TO SPECIFIC ROLES IN SOCCER THAT HAVE NOT BEEN IN FASHION IN THE LAST 25 YEARS

I didn't

but I do suppose the fact Franz Beckenbauer and Gaetano Scirea took that role probably helped.

MadMAxJr

Okay, so lets add teleport and fireball to this guy and now we have a game.

I don't think "fireball" and "grass field" mix well

@twobugs are the random beasts usually 1/1 spiders that on death give you a random beast?

One thing I don't like about Hearthstone is the crafting materials seem to come slowly and be spent VERY quickly

It's designed around a long-tail philosophy though so whatever. And there are special cosmetic versions of every card to craft

The adventures are pretty cool. The new heroes are a little underwhelming, though.

Even for a F2P, getting new cards in Hearthstone is remarkably slow.

Also, happy Canada Day.

I'm super looking forward to this weekend

Losing to someone with 5 legendaries is less fun than it sounds.

On the flip side, there are a few decks which are very competitive and don't require much dust.

I like MtG but I didn't like the moneysink aspect. At least with Hearthstone I can do dailies and slowly earn cards that way

Powerlord

Lets play Fluxx!

two bugs

It has a few too many RNG mechanics for me to get super serious about it, but it has fewer coin toss things than the Pokemon TCG game

I like the Pokemon TCG game, but man... so many "flip a coin!" mechanics

Mad Scientist

@twobugs The system was reasonably fair at the start of the open beta when I started playing. It's much worse for F2P players now with two sets of adventures and a full expansion of cards

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord grabs martian fluxx I'm in!

two bugs

5:47 PM

@MadScientist Yep. I refuse to directly buy cards but the adventures are at least some content alongside cards

Powerlord

@KevinvanderVelden grabs TF2 Fluxx

....now I'm tempted to try to make cards for that.

two bugs

And some of the adventure cards are VERY powerful, which is a mixed bag

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord I will play it

Mad Scientist

@twobugs There's pretty much only one competitive deck with that many legendaries. But you have a rather limited choice of decks as a F2P player for a while

MadMAxJr

TF2 Fluxx would have nothing but hat based Keepers

Powerlord

5:48 PM

Hey, are there Action cards in other sets that are just renamed versions of the base Action cards?

two bugs

@MadScientist From my understanding most control decks run like 3-4 legendaries. But yeah, for sub 1000 dust your options are like hybrid hunter or patron warrior

Powerlord

'cause I'd totally rename Steal a Keeper to Autobalance.

two bugs

And then there are a few legendaries that fit into seemingly every deck (Dr. Boom, Sylvanas)

Powerlord

See, now I'm going to have to look what the split is for stock Fluxx between the different card types... and also decide if TF2 Fluxx should have Creepers.

MadMAxJr

MannCo Store - All keeper currently in play are now Vintage. No other effect.

There's some common action cards that are in most sets.

The roommate and I enjoy the Regular Show Fluxx set.

Kevin van der Velden

5:51 PM

@Powerlord more accurate would be the card that shuffles all keepers + creepers and then splits them up again wouldn't it?

Powerlord

@KevinvanderVelden That'd be Team Scramble.

Kevin van der Velden

I have no idea if that card is in base though, it's in martian

Aah

Powerlord

There's an action that does that already... forget what it is though.

MadMAxJr

Creeper - TC_Hydro

Powerlord

Fluxx v5.0 has 19 Keepers, 23 Actions, 27 New Rules, and 30 Goals.

For some reason, it wasn't showing me my own edit to my last post until I refreshed.

Unionhawk

5:54 PM

chat has been poked

Blem

@Powerlord i prefer the themed Fluxx

Powerlord

@KevinvanderVelden Incidentally, this is how the Share the Wealth card works. For Keepers anyway

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord I think that's the same card then. Martian flux just added creepers in the to shuffle list as they don't exist in base

Powerlord

For whatever reason, they don't have the card lists online for the non-base sets on Looney Labs.

Or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong location

Blem

@Powerlord looneylabs.com/holiday-fluxx-card-list

Powerlord

5:59 PM

Bah, it's because they're on each product page.

The number of Keepers is different in each set.

Star Fluxx, for example, has more keepers and goals than base, but less actions.

(That's even if you count Surprise cards in actions)

The problem is going to be making sure you put the keepers sorta evenly on the goals.

Yuuki

@twobugs Beating someone with legendaries is pretty hilarious though.

He played Ysera!

I played Mind Control!

kthxbai

Powerlord

Actually, now that I think about it, there are Fluxx actions that are the same in specific editions with different names.

Wormhole from Star Fluxx and Mystery Action from Fluxx 5.0 for example.

@Unionhawk DINOSAURS ARE ALWAYS EFFECTIVE

ENOUGH TO ASK A QUESTION ABOUT HERE ON ARQADE

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr The technology is almost there with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

Actually, how exactly did Pokemon Conquest work?

MadMAxJr

That was the Pokemon / Nobunaga's Ambition crossover, right?

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr Yeah, it apparently plays exactly like how you were saying.

> Pokémon Conquest features a turn-based strategy battle system. Up to six Pokémon on each side are positioned on the battlefield, one for each participating Warrior, and both sides take turns moving and attacking with their Pokémon. A battle is won or lost when the engaging army manages or fails to achieve the victory conditions, which vary by location, within a numbered amount of turns, which also vary by location.
