Dominion: Nocturne Previews / New Stuff Playing with the Nocturne Cards

« on: October 23, 2017, 03:57:34 pm »

Before that game started, it showed me all my started cards until I clicked "start game"  That was pretty cool I thought.  I'll never forget that it is a shelters game again!

The second thing I noticed was that when my opponent played bridge troll, there was a little red -1 thing in the middle of the screen, next to the thing that shows how many actions coins and buys I have left. 

Third, I am completely awful with the Nocturne cards so far    They are super fun though.

Are there any other new things anyone has noticed?

Edit: Hm.  I should really read all the other threads before I get over excited and post something.  These were all talked about already.  My bad

They don't get their prizes reduced by Bridge,

Bridge makes Tournament much worse

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Traitor-Spy-Infiltrator-Kingslayer-Usuper - The Attacking Traveller Line

« on: October 16, 2017, 10:47:48 am »

For Infiltrator maybe just say your opponent only draws 3 in their draw phase.  That is still a pretty nasty attack.  I can't tell if the +6 cards -1 action would work or not.  It sounds weird, but maybe it would be okay.

Kingslayer is too random and just not fun.  Trashing peoples decks is rarely okay.  There is a good reason Saboteur was removed.  Knights are okay because they self destruct, but they still can lead to not fun games.

Usurper is strange.  Maybe just make the opponent gain a curse each turn.  If they can't gain a curse they discard down to 3 cards in hand or something.

Attack traveler line is a fun idea though.

Another thing that some longer shows do which is sometimes nice is to give a brief rundown of topics discussed with the corresponding time stamps in the episode notes. That way you know where to skip to if you want to hear just one particular portion of the episode.

I like this.  I for one enjoy how long they are, and I'd still listen even if it was a 2 hour podcast.  With this idea, it can be good for everyone, whether they want it long or short.

I actually like anti-terminal for those odd case villages, or maybe even "villages" in general.  Anything that can enable you to play multiple terminal actions in a particular kingdom.

Dominion FAQ / Re: How to get 2nd edition except for Dominion and Intrigue

« on: October 03, 2017, 02:42:20 pm »

I think "up to 4" Pretty clearly includes 0,1,2,3,4. I thought that from day one of playing dominion. (Although admittedly it really didn't ever matter to me until I'd already played lots of dominion)
It might as well say "Trash fewer than 5 cards"

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Annoying and potentially harmful card anti-synergies

« on: October 03, 2017, 02:26:34 pm »

Inheritance-Crossroads.

This is awesome! Inheritance loves estates, and crossroads loves estates! My first Estate will give me +3 Actions and all of them will self synergize and draw tons of cards! I can just buy all of them and be unstoppable!

Oh, what? I don't get +3 Actions ever? Now my deck is just full of tons of terminal draw? gg, Resign.

This happened to my opponent last week.  Luckily I had just read about this annoying anti-synergy on fds somewhere, so I didn't fall for it.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Card Sleeves

« on: October 03, 2017, 02:16:06 pm »

I’ve found that no sleeves commonly available seem to work with the stock box insert. I would recommend going to a custom storage solution - several of them reuse the same Dominion center box but replace the insert.

Yeah I've been trying to avoid that (I'm lazy) but it's looking like that might be the best answer.

Dominion General Discussion / Card Sleeves

« on: October 03, 2017, 01:02:33 pm »

I decided to sleeve all my cards, but once I did they didn't quite fit into the box insert without bending.  Does this happen to anyone else?

What is the best brand & size of sleeves for dominion cards?

« on: September 26, 2017, 09:05:10 pm »

Today was the first time I ever bought Artificer.  Not because I don't believe that it can be good, just because I am lazy and I haven't ever really thought about how to use it well.

On a similar note, I think I've only bought storyteller once for the same reason.

I love SP with Vagrant.  It does a very similar thing to Wishing well.   Sp turns it into a lab as long as you have a vicotry, curse, ruins, or shelter in hand or as one of the top two cards of your deck.  It's usually pretty easy to pick up a vagrant or 4 throughout the game on those turns with and extra buy and $2-$3.

Personally, I don't think it is too long. 

After reading it, I looked back through it for stuff to get rid of, and honestly, it all seems to have a somewhat important purpose.  If I had to make a suggestion, maybe you could get rid of the first bit about peddler variants. Although, as I said, I kinda like everything how it is.

But if you Catapult Trusty Steed, it doesn't even do anything to your opponent.

Well this isn't exactly a strategy thread.

Inb4 someone argues they are called villages and not splitters.

But they ARE Villages! Splitters is the worst name in the history of existence. You could call them Woohoos because you're happy every time you play them and it would be way better.

FWIW, village has always made way more sense to me than splitter, and it has never once caused any confusion.  When I started reading the forum, the word splitter did cause confusion.  It took me forever to figure out what the hell a splitter was.

I think the funniest card thematically is Catapult. How do you Catapult a whole Estate? And why would flinging a Moneylender at your enemies be a good idea?

my favorite catapult fodder thus far is tax collector.
it pleases me to put one in the bucket of a catapult, and it amuses me to send someone so hated to an enemy.

This all just makes me think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, flinging cows at the enemies.  Too bad there isn't a livestock card.  We do have trust steed though! that's pretty close. 

I also think it would be pretty funny to fling a feast at the enemy (If I ever actually used feast that is.  It would also be a horrible card to choose to catapult, other than for the laughs.)

i don't own it, but why don't you use the blue-backs, and then as you pull a card, grab one of the standard backs for that card?
then you only have to grab the cards you use.

Yeah, this is what I do. It works just fine.  It's never seemed that complicated

J plays a Patrol.
J draws a Copper and 2 Lurkers.
J reveals a Copper and 3 Estates.
J puts 3 Estates into their hand.
J topdecks a Copper.

I love how semi-interesting this is.  Well done.

So, why doesn't Carpenter just gain the card normally? That's worse than putting it under your deck and takes less words.

I guess I could do that.  I just thought that would be kinda lame compared to other gainers since this is more expensive, but it would probably be okay since the other effect is so cool. 

Really I just wanted it to pair with pearl diver

oc·cult

noun
1.
supernatural, mystical, or magical beliefs, practices, or phenomena.

I'll have to test this card out a bit more and see if it is under/over powered.

Okay... I mean, I guess it's a noun... But isn't it mostly just an adjective made a noun? If I say "the disappointed never stop complaining", that makes "disappointed" a noun, but i's not something you'd put on a card, is it? Maybe this is a horrible language fail by me, but even "The occult" would make more sense to me. Can somebody confirm I'm being dumb?

I actually had this called secret originally, occult was a suggestion from ThetaSigma12 and it came with a really cool picture, so I liked it.

Blessing is neither an Action, nor a Treasure card, so how can you play it?

It's meant to be action duration

Also, it has too much going on. Which really isn't the case for a lot of your cards - a quality in your set I praise.

Oh, and thank you! That is one of my main problems with most fan cards, so I was aiming for as much simplicity as I could.
