    I was just going to mention this. It even has cards, and dice! Game just didn't catch on(at least near me) the way Destiny did. Destiny has a much more cohesive vision, much better looking product, and smoother, thematic game play. And it also addressed power creep much better than dice masters imo.

    So while you maybe, one day, might see it I definitely wouldn't hold my breath.

    Both games fell by the wayside at my lgs.  I play and like both, but I like  dice masters a bit better. (more licences, no hyding all the fave chars as ultra rares)

    Thanks, yeah I looked at Dice Masters but I thought it was strictly a dice game which isn't something I was interested in. But it seems there are cards so will have a closer look.

    At the moment all my money is going into Destiny though :) but once I've gotten all the cards I want I might look at getting some of the older VS System games which seems like they might be fun to play. As far as I'm aware there are two types of the VS System though, so will have to investigate a little further.

    Well it is striclty a dice game. The cards are just there to tell you what the dice do. (This is is because each die has 3 cards that will let you play the same character in different ways)

    It's basically a bag building game, you start with generic dice and you buy better dice troughout the game.

    Is there any chance that FFG would ever create a game either by DC Comics (my preferred comic brand :) ) or Marvel?

    I post in this particular forum because I like the gameplay mechanics of Star Wars: Destiny, but a card-only mechanic would also work.

    I ask the question because there really are no decent board/card games out there that feature DC or Marvel. While there is Legendary from Marvel and Cryptozoic's Deck Building game for DC, I don't particularly like the gameplay mechanics. Apart from those two games there really is nothing decent out there.

    You would think that two comics companies that have been around for so long would have the market covered by now.

    Anyway, just thinking out loud and wondering whether FFG would even be interested. I ask the question fully realising that a licence is required and is a crucial part to even thinking about getting such a project off the ground.

    How about a Marvel/ DC dice game?

    Make your opponent play with your crappy deck! What a brilliant way to market garbage combinations.

    Tried that with Magic once. Turns out opponents don't like a deck made of 59 Mountains and 1 Storm Crow. :D

    5. Interview this "Yoda" to get him to tell you about the force - fair warning though, this guy is obnoxious, will pretend to be stupid, and will generally just speak in riddles.

    3. Entering planet orbit, search for ONE SINGLE OLD small green creature, notice this "Being" does not want to be found and have purposely hidden there as there are so many lifeforms there so using some form of life scanner is out of the question. So this will take time.

    When I first saw tESB I tought this was how all Jedi trained. You found yoursel a lone sensei who tought you how to become a jedi. If you couldn't find a teacher, you where probably not worthy.

    This was my 3rd weekend with cards and the 3rd time I played. So, as you can see my experience is limited. The big difference this weekend was it was the first time I played without House Logos. I still had fun, but I can’t overstate how much I missed them. To make matters worse my opponent had House Logos and used them to great effect.

    It is obvious that I will need to get used to life without Logos just so they won’t become a crutch for me. However, once I familiarize myself with all the houses it’s hard to imagine I won’t gravitate towards decks with Logos. I’m thinking Logos/Dis/+?. I haven’t played a deck with Logos and Dis yet, but I think they will fit my play style. I am leaning towards Untamed or Shadow for my 3rd house.

    bah! that's 3 more plays than I have! :) When is this game comming out?! (Well don't come out to soon either, still playing AOS champions here!)

    I got the same thing with Proffesor X in dicemasters (he lets you take back spent dice so you have more resources on your next turn. Another one where you'll notice the difference when you play without it.)

    For a third house  I'd be tempted to say Shadow.  Seems very Blue/Black in Magic terms.

    My instincts told me the stranger was bad news. Maybe it was something in his eyes--or rather, his eye, or rather, his lack of eyes, or wait never mind it's back up to eyes again. It could have been something in his stance, like how he didn't really have a stance or even a discernible form in the first place. Perhaps I just didn't like his tone of voice when he ceaselessly trumpeted "TEKELI-LI! TEKELI-LI!" or something. I only knew one thing for certain: This guy was trouble.

    I was sent to Callifornia to investigate the coastal communities as part of the Insmouth case. If such horrors could happen on the East coast, they could possibly also happen here, on the West. While I was snooping around I met this darkly tanned surfer dude called "Gnarly" Hotep. He seemed like a real nice guy...
