DC set is supposed to be coming out in a little under two weeks and apparently there is an Age of Ultron set slated for sometime in the near future as well. I was just getting ready to buy a grav feed so now I wonder if I should wait for DC.

Is anyone interested in any of the WizKids Open promos? I have at least 2 of the full art Black Widow - Tsarina cards with no dice. I also have at least 1 cable and professor x.

I've been getting back into this lately, but I'm still nooby mcnoob - I'll be on vassal tonight if anyone fancies a game where I'll inadvertently cheat before losing horribly In the real world, I've a starter and a good few boosters now - all AvX, only one rare, no super rares. It seems like an awesome game but if I'm struggling to find any local players.

Picked up a bunch of packs of this to play with my girlfriend a few months ago, ran through the basic 10 hp tutorial thing and then played a some mess around games to get familiar with the rules. When it came to the first game we actually tried to take a bit more competitively it went terribly - she ran a fairly aggressive set, i ran more control with strong blockers. Once I set up some defense she stopped attacking because it seemed futile (under the assumption that her dice would go to KO, mine would stay in the field for surviving the hit) and we reached a stalemate just having loads of characters being added to the field but none attacking. I didn't want to attack her until I had enough to 1 shot her as if i didn't she could just let the attack through and take me out. The game dragged on and left us with a bit of a sour taste and we haven't played it since. I'm guessing I had probably just hit what could more or less be considered a win condition but didn't have a good enough selection of characters to actually close the game out well/easily? Or is it likely we hosed something up with the rules to let the game get to this state? Nique fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Jun 3, 2015 |

It is really easy to hit a stalemate with two players new to the game. Being able to hit the opponent around his defender line is really the key to making the game work. Some easy examples that break stalemates (I'm just using the uncanny x-men set because Common Namor from X-men (unblockable if there are 2 other characters in the field [other Namors do not count}) Any of the Toad cards from X-men (they let you force attacks from the opposing side) All of the Pyro cards have ways to directly hurt your opponent, even when blocked There are also a couple characters in the starter (Cyclops and human torch can directly damage the opponent and storm lets you re-roll some of their fielded characters to mess up their plans) There are others too, those just came off the top of my head. In short, neither of your decks had a 'true' win condition, and the nature of the game is if neither person has a way to win, both sides just kind of keep stockpiling heroes like cold war countries stockpile bombs.

So I've started getting in to DC Dice masters. I've bought enough that, in theory, I'll just play with friends from the whole collection rather than get super-competitive. So far it's working out OK. I also managed to get the super-rare Constantine in a booster, which I'm thinking of selling. and good places to do that? I'm UK-based, so overseas postage might get a bit expensive.

This game loving rules. It's just random enough to where it's a good, meaty game but you can't really get mad at it if the dice gods don't favor you. I pulled the Super Rare Thanos and got ahold of some OP kits so I'm totally building a midrange deck with Thanos and tournament Apocalypse with the Joker-Harley combo and Uncommon Red Skull. Does the Dark Beast (Nefarious Geneticist) sound better than he is? I've been loving using Mutate 666 but Dark Beast feels like he has something a bit more sizable going for him.

I had forgotten about this game when it came out because of the supply issues and noticed it in a store recently. If I was looking to put together some cards to have fun with friends and not really worried about playing competitively, what would be the best use of my money to accomplish this?

Maybe get a common/uncommon lot for one of the sets and buy like 10-20 boosters and a starter for the same set. Depends on how much money you want to put in.

Rainbow draft weekend events are going on this weekend too. So good drafting and awesome promos. Plus starter sets are good for their basic actions. Big entrance on the war of light starter, is legit.

Local X-wing league plays this game before and after we wang it out. I played a game last week with someone else's set, seems like a fun time. I have the first Faerun set coming to me in the mail, even.

The game is super fun. I recently moved cross country and lucked out that my new area has a big community. Our best player is even on the top ten rated players in the world. The DND sets are great so far, though the second one is hands down better than The first. Both sets work best as a stand alone game as they have mechanics that work best with only DND cards.

The thread! It breathes! I have an AoU and BFF Starter Set, the UXM collector's box (PXG whooo?) and several BFF packs. Gonna try to fill out my missing cards before I go whole hog on FUS. I really don't like that they design sets to be "incompatible" with other sets as far as certain keywords and abilities go, especially since every set is legal.

I feel the same, but at least the comic book sets are comparable, and they included some really good cards in fus, like common elf thief and rare dwarf wizard. I just wish you didn't get poo poo like experience a million times in the set.

That's part of why I held off on DnD even though I like the experience mechanic. It should have been a more universal term like villain that triggers it.

I think they just figured that more DND fans would want to play just those sets and wanted to give them a more complete game. I know we have one person who plays DND only teams ATM, even though he has a bit of everything. I feel bad playing him with the unlimited team I'm working g on for states.

Red posted:Is there a good/simple quick start guide to play a quick game? The starter sets come with an instruction book that details playing a beginner game, including which cards/dice for each player to use. That's about as good a way as any. It's also a pretty simple game, the only part of it that snagged me at the beginning was that dice that succeed (get spent or attack unblocked) go into the used pile to be put back into the bag later, while dice that get killed go into the ready pile and are rerolled and put back into play on your next turn.

Also, nobody asked this advice, but I'm giving it anyways! There's a plastic storage tray made for Dice Masters stuff by a company called Zen Bins. They are fantastic and anyone who has a collection of any size should probably get some. Another company, T1 Supplies, makes a playmat for the game that has a better layout than the ones sold by WizKids. It has a space on it for out of play dice that haven't yet entered the used pile, it doesn't have the wasted space at the bottom for 'dice bag', and it's moved the life counter to the top of the mat where it's easier to see.

The second D&D set is really great. Now that there are more fiends than just the lonely pit fiend from the first set, there's a whole tribal fiend synergy thing going that works well. I threw a quick thing together last week with hellhounds and pit fiends (make fiends cheaper), glabrezu (make fiends immune to non-combat damage), balors (chance to get a fiend for free) and Orcus (field a fiend from your dice bag for free when he's fielded). It was slower to start than I'd have liked, since fiends aren't cheap to purchase until you get some discounts in play, but once I had a 7/7 balor running around things wrapped up fast. I'm also interested in setting something up with golems and their new mechanic where you can KO other characters to buy them for free. I'm willing to bet that can turn pretty sick in short order. Got a gravity box on order that should be arriving later this week, hopefully there'll be some goodies in there.

I played a game against a guy who ran all three golems on his team, and use elf thief to sacrifce to field them, so he could refield the elf every turn to reliably steal energy every turn. It was pretty awesome.

My only beef with Dice Masters is that the compatibility between genres is goddamn retarded. A lot of keywords involved don't cross over between sets, so if you play with D&D stuff and your opponent plops down in front of you with Yu-Gi-Oh dice, welp. Better hope you weren't playing with adventurers, 'cause their experience ability will never trigger. Field some evil dice with anti-good powers, and your opponent is playing nothing but super heroes? Won't work: technically they aren't good because they have no alignment icon. Fortunately there are plenty of cards that don't require an opponent to be playing specific sets to function, and I'd plan around those cards if I was going to just play random jerks somewhere with no knowledge of what sets they'd bring. The irksome part is that it would've been super easy for the design team to implement some universal card design aspects to facilitate cross-genre play, they just didn't bother to do so. And now that this many sets have been printed, they really can't go back and retcon hundreds of cards.
