PvE is gonna be a hella good time getting newbies into the game! Joey aka Decks and Draughts is one the best representative FaB could have asked for. He puts on incredible events, and is an even more incredible person. Can't wait till the eventuality of LSS employing him to direct operations in the US haha.
Holy crap, thank you so much for the shout out! Super proud of how it turned out, major thanks to Tim and BlessCards who is the brainchild of this format! So, when are we getting some PvE in? :) Also, I'm releasing a demo video of this tonight on my channel and would love to do some livestreams also of it! It's an incredibly fun format!
You could even have a campaign where each player starts out with a pre-constructed 40 card young hero blitz decks and you earn packs to open on battle victory and essentially "level up" to an 80 card standard hero. You could use pitch value to move around on the board as well if your hero has a melee weapon so you're standing next to the enemy or reposition if your hero has a ranged weapon. Could have rear positional and flank damage multipliers.
agree with EVERYTHING you're saying mate. There needs to be more advocates/formats for that level of play BETWEEN intro and tournament-level play. People that just love the theme, the flavour and the relation to your favourite classes/archetypes in generic fantasy. Board games are also MASSIVE at the moment, so this would also bring in a LOAD of new players. 100%.
This is like the fighting the "theros hydra challenge deck" which was so much fun and so challenging. This definitely allows for better decks to be created. Faster, more resilient play styles. I would love to see it
I cannot wait to battle my LGS owner in an Archenemy-like PVE setting. Would be dope! Also, it would be good for progressing the lore as we introduce local and global threats to the world of Rathe.
The boss spawning dudes sounds cool. They put out a token hero that has like 4 or 5 health, with an ability that says "you can't attack [big boss name]" so that you have to go through them to hit the big boss.
So keen for this, I came up with a dungeon crawl / dragon encounter that you work up to that had its own encounter deck with abilities like tail swipe that if hits would spawn welps. If I wasn't scared of being sued for using non licenced artwork I'd release it to the community. An official dragon encounter would be awesome.
Will definitely try that! I can't wait for an official PvE format, but I really hope that they do not make separate products. I think they should do it in a way that all the cards can be used either for PvP and for PvE. Obviously we could have some cards in a set that work better in a PvE gameplay or vice-versa, but I personally would very much dislike having separate products for PvP/PvE. I am really hoping that they keep with just one product and don't go down the Wizard's path releasing countless different products that just overwhelm the player (specially the new player). Being that said, I think they will do a great job in the PvE as they have been doing so far with the game in general.
I think they could make some awesome PvE stuff. Though the more I think about it I really want it to be like Slay The Spire and have a new card base to draft as you go.
Dice are fun to roll but they do risk replacing tactical play with randomization that is out of your control, or that it doesn't feel like it's interacting with what you are doing. It could be interesting to explore tokens in a bag. Tokens in a bag are like customized dice that can be different per boss in composition. They can also be taken out of the bag and placed on cards. It allows for perhaps more interaction. But of course you would have to custom print or create tokens somehow. So maybe that's more suitable for an official PvE mode. A large part of FaB combat is the back and forth. The interaction with the opponents gear and hand. I think the best PvE mode would incorporate these elements.
I could see different level bosses and mini bosses. Return each week to fight a bigger beast. Earn tokens that can grant more life for returning heroes.
Yeah, same. I had an idea for Bravo where he doesn't lose resources at the end of his turn so they stack into a monster pile for his attacks while aura's play for free. Noodling...possibilities are endless!
Would love to have PVE available in FAB. I've just finished building my oldhim main deck. But PVE would be great to test other heroes without over investing.
Have you guys played Aventuria the Card Game? If there's anything FaB can be as a PvE experience, it can be close to Aventuria, which is awesome. Hoping for the best for this mode of play!!

Well deserved as always.

I would love to see it
My DND group is based in Rathe. It is amazing
Wow tcg had raid decks, would love to see a similar idea in FaB you could even have loot packs with reprints and new equipment etc etc
Love that you gave yourself props for getting the name right.

I can’t wait for a PvE version of this game!
Love your idea of a deck less boss!!
Love the alley piece. Dual crossbows would be fuckin siiiiick

I'm super pumped to build pve kits. And get my DND crew involved.

Still struggling really hard to find people to play with. PVE is really exciting for me.
This will be a REALLY fun format as it's also one player and can get pretty spicy sometimes!
@@DecksandDraughts I look forward to checking it out! 👍👍

find no suitable words for this amazing idea.. wow, yes please..

I now will be spending the next week brainstorming Enemies for PvE…

This looks great!!
While we're at it, can we get a Rathe 5e campaign setting?
I don't think wotc will be involved, have to be community

On your card were the intellect is there should be the number of actions or dice rolls it has!
