Can you lend me some Change for a subway Token?
@@itsapittie No. 🤣
Could be cool
@@itsapseudonym568 That's the hope.
Love listening to your lore vids
@@itsapseudonym568 Thank you! They are more work than the news updates, but I enjoy them.
Lore + Card connection idea i'd love to see. I noticed alot of Star Command Officers also have blasters, and Sibyl Waimare's is holding Frigorific Rod. How many Character and Character's items are there?
@@mechanova That's a cool idea! I might look into that, I know it's not uncommon for upgrades to appear in character card art...
Wow! I like it, but I'm concerned that it is coming out on top of Store Championships (assuming Ghost Galaxy keeps the same Feb/Mar schedule as last year). I could see our store using it in Learn-to-Play weekends, giving out a key chain and a charm to new players, then giving the other 2 charms when they come to our monthly events. Unfortunately the store schedule currently does not allow for weekly play. Too bad Discovery wasn't scheduled for Nov 30 instead of Jan 31.
I think January is probably better overall, but maybe a week or two early would have been nice.
Love it! I'm excited about Discovery and the new player OP kit, gotta collect those keys!
@@ummox Same! I'm very pleased with them!
This is the step in the right direction with OP.
@@jeremytrpka3405 I very much agree!
Awesome!
@@itsapittie It is!
Even having played this game for years, the Keychains and Keycharms seem interesting. I'll have to wait and see what the quality of the actual product is like, but the images make it look like a decent collectable.
@@OdinSonnah I agree! It seems like it could be a fun little multi week event.
400k stretch goals are up. They'll be giving 1 metal house token.
@@paulkevinegango671 Lame.
@ I believe that 500k would've been the foresight token and 600k would've been the 2 foresight decks. They just put out the items outside the stretch goals because of the low pledge amount.
@paulkevinegango671 That seems pretty likely to me. Also, all of those are pretty lame stretch goals...
@@FlightlessPheasant I hope they move to a different stretch goal system next time. Maybe number of backers: 500 and 1000 (the requirement of the foresight bundle stretch goal is 1 backer). Stretch goals for the actual value could be 100k, 200k, and 300k, that should be revealed from the start. Then social goals like number of shares and likes which will hopefully bring the game to more eyes and helping it flourish in the long run.
@paulkevinegango671 If they are able to do that it would probably be better.
Looking good
@@itsapseudonym568 Agreed
You should be able to have some fun with that set!
@@itsapittie Indeed!
This looks like a very fun set, though not a particularly strong one. The GG Keyforge meta is balanced around outpacing the WoE board flood, so I'm not sure how a tokenless board-centric set is going to manage outside of set. But in set? This might be my favorite GG set yet. While I have opted not to back and support my LGS instead, this was by far the most I've been tempted since I backed WoE...which ended up being my least favorite GG set. XD
@@snoopy104 I feel pretty confident that this set will be a ton of fun!
Always support your LGS! I will be doing both though lqtm.
@GoblinGoblining Hard agree!
These spoilers were meh and 1st
🤣 So you are!
Stretch goals reached! Anomalies! Flavor text! House and Lore guesses! Dragons! Yay! (and a reference to one of my favorite Sci-Fi franchises 🙂...)
Happy I could brighten your day. 🤣
More previews! Great to see, but I do hope we get more flavor text and lore in actual cards as you have mentioned. Your discussion about Aember Skies and 2025 sealed tournament play at the end raised some great questions. I recommend adding your voice to Discord servers and other socials that GG folks watch.
@@daveo8017 I probably should do that. I just get a bit overwhelmed in the larger Discords. 😅
Good to see more previews!
@daveo8017 It seems like we won't be getting any community previews this time though. 😟
Nice to see the previews, enjoyed the discussion as always!
@daveo8017 Thanks Dave!
I don't want CC printed tbh
@@babyfreeD I guess that's fair. But I love Crucible Clash (conceptually) and am already looking forward to it! 😁
@FlightlessPheasant They, need to lock into 3-4 total sets a year. Also, I feel like they have enough cards to handle floating one of those sets as a reprint/ errata set.
@babyfreeD That is completely fair. My enthusiasm for CC is entirely dependent on it not taking too much design time from PV.
@@FlightlessPheasant I can agree with you there
Crucible Clash is definitely coming, and the 300k stretch goal will just guaranteed we all get another CC deck. It is much like Tokens of Change from the Aember Skies Gamefound.
@@jeremytrpka3405 That's pretty much my thought as well.
"I believe in something greater than myself, a better world."
@@ketzerapathetic1414 Thanks, I pulled it up in a new tab shortly after recording. 😁
Everyone needs something to believe in. I believe I'll have another shot of bourbon.
@itsapittie 🤣
It gives me such a sense of peace and Serenity
@daveo8017 The art doesn't jive well with that vibe AT ALL. Makes me think brainwashing or something similar is a work.
Since most physical games of KeyForge I get to play are competitive, I could never see myself using these. I lost a game during KF celebration due to going to time (All tie breakers were used and my opponent got the win because he went first.). I'll be streamlining set up and playing from now on and these would only make games last longer.
@NileSings Fair enough. I've had a few games come close, but have yet to actually go to time. So I worry about it less. Plus, I do still have casual, local, in person play semi regularly
That's awesome!@@FlightlessPheasant
@@NileSings I'm pretty happy about it.
I’ve long advocated for everyone having house tokens. Not to declare the house you’re playing, but for other reasons. Play Restringuntus - Put a house token on it for the house you chose. Then no arguments later (that must have happened) Steal an opponents artifact with borrow. Add the Shadows house token to remind yourself it’s now a shadows card. There are other cards too which specify a house for an important thing that needs to be remembered. You get what I’m saying. The price isn’t horrendous, it’s just there are a lot of houses now, so buying them all at once is the problem. Plus, you’d want to otherwise there isn’t much point. Finally if they stop making them, but make more houses - kind of negates having them if you’re missing one. Happy with the idea, just would like to maybe win them 1 by one over time rather than need to buy 10+ at once.
That's a much better use for them than declaring house choices. They're a bit spendy for me, but perhaps something to build up over time. Fancy bling like this should be what the gamefounds are all about. (The named decks aren't bad though.)
@CaptainKeyForge That does sound much better as a use. I had to explain to a new player just the other day that an artifact stolen by Vender Hyertula is ONLY house Ekwidon and not its original house. This would be good for that.
@@snoopy104 I like the idea, I just don't feel the need to get them all at once, or right away.
Definitely better that the poor man's House Burger tokens I made with Avery circle stickers and pennies for the above listed purposes 😀
@daveo8017 Definitely
Should have a bundle price for all of them that would be a little less. Might actually sell more that way
@@itsapseudonym568 Possibly so.
Ha! I get the digital high five this time!
@@itsapittie 🤚
How about don’t do a game found right before Christmas
@@itsapseudonym568 Agree
It's disruption heavy, but not in the Bryozoarch/Control the Weak/Befuddle vein where choice is taken away from the active player. I like it.
@snoopy104 Yeah, it's more solve-a-problem/present-a-problem type. I'm a big fan.
I thought they lost the code for Keyforge
@@Pighway Fantasy Flight did. But a new company bought it and restored the algorithm.
My understanding is Ghost Galaxy was able to rebuild it from scratch with help from some of the original programmers.
I feel like they've pretty much scrapped (pun intended) the stretch goal incentive strategy this cycle. As they've structured it in this and the last couple campaigns, I think it's the right call.
@snoopy104 Probably, but is working on me.
I think you just need one token (per player), right? Cause your unused Prophecy cards are in a single stack off to the side.
@@snoopy104 I mean, I guess? The guidance on that has been very nonspecific.
@@FlightlessPheasant Each player will have 2 double sided Prophecy cards. Prophecy cards are always in one of two states: active or inactive. When active, they are in the center of the play area with one (perhaps more) cards under them. When inactive, they are off to the side. Since, they are double sided, you can't turn them face down for clarity. Thus, the token will be placed on the pile (of 0-2 cards) of inactive prophecies to clearly distinguish them from the active prophecies. Cool variant idea: Both players can activate their opponent's inactive Prophecy cards as if they were theirs.
First
@@itsapseudonym568 🎉
Second… lol
@@itsapseudonym568 Indeed!
@@itsapseudonym568 🎉
6 would have been better
@@babyfreeD Do you mean the extra free decks or the new tokens?
@FlightlessPheasant just the new token
@babyfreeD I mean, 2 seems like the most I'll every need.
@@FlightlessPheasant I mean 6 USD for the extra one
@babyfreeD OH! My apologies for the confusion. Yes, that probably would be more reasonable, but $10 doesn't feel too bad.
Good information!
@@itsapittie Thank you.
Pretty excited for this set. Prophecies seem like such a cool mechanic.
@@itsapseudonym568 Agreed
Very solid cards...if boards are relevant in the meta. And I hope they are.
@@snoopy104 I very much hope so as well.
1st! Crisp digital high five coming your and my way.
✋
The sanctum/redemption thing reminds me of the Protestant reformation. An outsider might say the goals are the same… that doesn’t mean there wasn’t animosity at the time
@itsapseudonym568 I suppose that's is a fair comparison.
Maybe the reason they are hyping up the animosity between Sanctum and Redemption is because resolving the schism is going to be the focus of the next summer event?
@@OdinSonnah I'm pretty sure you're right. Though I don't know if I'm happy about it.
I'm skipping this campaign. Too broke this time of year. Ill just wait til my locals gets em.
@@ketzerapathetic1414 Fair
Redemption getting Vault's Blessing makes me frustrated, as a mutant. I love to hate the new angry bigot house. 😂 Hope you're not looking for any chase cards in either of these houses because all of them are twice as rare in this set.
@@ketzerapathetic1414 Yeah, that is a thought. But, to be honest, I haven't really seen anything super chase worthy so far.
Pretty soon, you're going to need a college-level course just to be able to play this game. 😂
@@itsapittie Nah, I'm just WAY into it.
First
Congratulations!
There's no prize for that, you know. 😆
@@itsapittie Wrong, I have myself a crisp digital high five
I've back the past 2 game founds, made it to 2 GG VTs and the past two KFCs and I feel like I've been watching the game crash in slow motion since GR. I don't think the bad decisions are all connected, but GR being so poorly designed (When it comes to fun and interactivity within games and between sets) was a turning point in the wrong direction.
@NileSings I know what you mean. For now at least, I'm hopeful they will adress the GR problem soon. As for AS and ToC, they both seem decently balanced, but the drop in set size/diversity in AS is a pretty significant red flag for me.
Your theory about the presence of humans in Dis is fascinating! Perhaps, along those lines, they may seek to take advantage of the schism between Sanctum and Redemption and stoke that division even further?
@@thedude_66 That could be very interesting! I'm hopeful that GG will give us more insight into that conflict soon. I definitely want to know more!
2 sets a year…. Never should have started making alternate sets. They drove away most people that I played the game with. Disappointing indeed.
@@brockbowen2428 They have definitely been over producing lately. No question.
A three month shift in the set release schedule would be great, and delaying the next one would (hopefully) give them time to get their act together. It wouldn't fix Aember Skies not getting played, but I'd really like some assurance that this isn't going to be a perpetual issue.
@@OdinSonnah Yeah, I'm hoping GG is listening and can make some changes to the schedule.
I am one of those who did not add any CC and after this announcement I grabbed the max of three decks. I'm not taking them to a VT or anything, but I'm expecting online leagues to generally stick to official tournament legality
@@ummox I suppose that's fair. I'm not really sure how much to expect out of this set in terms of power level... It definitely sounds fun, but without the Archon Ability... 🤷
@FlightlessPheasant oh I don't mind if they're not top archon worthy. Adaptive and SAS cap are the formats that appeal to me where I can take whichever fun decks I've opened
@ummox Fair
I concur the idea of the release schedule.
@@jeremytrpka3405 It would make things work more smoothly.
A game found when ppl are buying Christmas presents seems like bad timing
@@itsapseudonym568 Agree
