Anyone going to Gencon should try and play Millenium Blades, and then write about it here.

"Millennium Blades at GenCon

In addition to showing Millennium Blades at our booth and to media guests all throughout GenCon, we have opportunities for backers to play a scheduled, private game with me (D. Brad Talton Jr, the game’s creator) at GenCon! Just come by our booth and see if we have any available slots. I look forward to playing Millennium Blades with you!"

I'm not sure if there was a backer tier with 'Play at Gencon' as a reward or anything, but this sounds like anyone can play it. Provided they're lucky enough to get a space I suppose.

Was Magdeline nerfed in war remastered? I don't remember if she always had the 'She can't level up the first beat she has more counters than level' clause.

e: The wiki says she was changed a lot, shows what I know. Still don't remember that clause.

I wanna say his range gets reduced to 1-1 at the ante step, and then becomes 1-2 at Start of Beat. Or whatever his minimum is, of course.

e: I also wanna say he looks really weak in general.

So after owning Devastation game since Christmas I finally ordered some of those 25 card holders. I was supposed to get 50s too but I guess Amazon donked it?

EDIT: I took an actual picture.



They are the best, I'll probably have to carry two boxes if I get War + Fate though. :(

Help how do I box all this everything

I'm leaning toward the "plastic deckholder now, customize later" idea unless the cardboard tuckboxes are actually cheaper? What size should I use? AND WHY DOES THESSALA NOT FIT ANYTHING.

I only have DoI and I just used these. I've got some 50 count on the way for Endrbryt and Kajia. Cost me about $25 and I bought too many thanks to them being Add-On items. Amazooon.



Can't sleeve them though, I've been told you can use Perfect Fits? Sleeving probably isn't a problem unless you're really anal over the Remastered Cardbacks, which are said to be more orangey-red and the current backs which are a deeper red. Also if I do get DoI and Fate I'd have to carry them in two boxes.
Just keep Thessala's board in the box I guess?

Not sure why the card backs would really matter all that much--you and your opponent always know what's available in each other's hands so it's not like different colored card backs are going to give anything away.

Is it just the aesthetics?

Well, if you use Devastation Bases with a War:Remastered character, then the opponent would know which one of those bases is their unique base.
So if you're playing with someone, and they see that you've set the orangey base of your unique base, and they suddenly decide to change their play, then you're playing with assholes and should probably leave?
It really doesn't matter, if you really really care that much then just hide your set pairs before revealing. It's literally the most pedantic stuff in the world.

Here's a lovely picture of all of Endrbryt fitting into a 25 count.

e: glamour shots why not.

Obviously I don't have Devastation : Extended, so maybe another standup and one extra card would ruin this.

I hope if they do make Dev : Remastered it is just a little pile of cards for £20 or something, I can't be re-buying Dev.

Where did he mention this, by the way? I don't remember seeing it.

He's mentioned it around the places, no one solid 'I'm going to do this' post, so if it was happening, it's probably not happening soon.

But here's a few sources, I guess.

"Yes, Voco is one of the characters from Devastation that will need to be patched up in order to be a really competitive fighter. "

Skeleman's styles aren't actually horrible, and his base is actually really good. But his UA is devastatingly bad. Even if he only lost 1 counter on a turn he gets hit, say on Stun instead of on Stun and damage it's still massive amounts of restriction for less than Kallistars Human form level of effect, most beats anyway.
Poor Mr Bones. He looks pretty cool at least.

Ugh, do any UK Goons know where I can find the 25 count boxes for cheap? The price has apparently skyrocketed from Amazon. It even says' You bought these before' for £15 for 30, including shipping. Now it's like, £30 for 10.
My local gamestore's got War : Remastered apparently, but no Fate yet.

I thought EU distribution was delayed until after Essen?

I scanned the new and old card backs because apparently they're different. They are!



Top is devastation, bottom is War : Remastered, the colours are kinda faded because my scanners shite but I think it did the job just fine. I only noticed the blues were different when they were side to side but immediately saw War : Remastered had a orangey-red.

I also scanned the Force-Reference card because I'm excited for new poo poo, okay?


Feel free to tell me if that's filez somehow and I'll drop it.

Currently 1 - 0 to Androc. Clinhyde lost to Rukyuk on beat 7 after a pulse. 3 - 0 life totals.

e: And possibly the worst game of Magdelina I've ever played. Flawless victory to Rukyuk. 20 - 0. Because I surrendered at the end of beat 5.

[Please ignore my gross rear end feet.]

It's not quite tuckboxes, but it only cost me £10 for all of Devastation, and then like, £8 for all of War.
They're all sleeved in Perfect Fits now too. So, only waiting for FATE to come out here. And maybe I'll print out some promos myself. :3:

AMoose, are those the Ultrapro clear boxes? Or did you find another brand that fits pro-fit?

They are indeed.

Were linked on the first page of the thread, I'm in the UK so I just used Amazon.co.uk and they were named something slightly different I think? For the longest of times, the price was jacked up to like, £10 for 2 on each, but I waited and just bought them when they were barely £0.80 for 2.

AMooseDoesStuff
Dec 20, 2012
Aye, I thought I said in my post they were perfect fits. I just keep two packs of pro fits in the box, Red and Blue. I'd love to make tuckboxes that fit properly sleeved cards but that's a lot of effort.
