This is everything I hate about the FFG hype

Hey Darksbane, any plans to add a SWD section to cardgamedb???

 

I can't say that I have any plans. 

 

Was worth a shot to ask

Ahh, I remember the first great CCG boom. So many weird things were made.

 

Remember hyperborian gates, wyvern and galactic empires?

Yes. I owned and played galactic empires.

If anyone wants to complain about exploitation in CCGs, Hyperborean Gates was fantastic:  "First Player is whoever bought the most booster packs."

It wouldn't hurt to remember all the many ccgs that have died over the years, including the star wars one. I think for every mtg, pokemon and yugioh that are still going strong after a decade or two there are dozens of ccgs that have died and aren't even worth the paper they're printed on.

But hey if there's a strong local scene for this game 6 months from now I'll give it a try. Even if I feel like odds are pretty strong this won't last more than a few years.

 

Also the first Collectable Dice Game: Dragon dice!

 

 

 

That also petered out after a few years. To bad really.

 

 

 

Actually Dragon Dice is still being produced (by SFR., http://www.sfr-inc.com- a small company) and played. They are at GenCon, BTW.

 

Besides, I love dice games, and I even asked for a dice-based LCG (even though I was thinking more to Star Trek Collectible Dice Game than to Dice Masters - as this seems to be, as far as selling model goes), so I'm looking forward to watching a game play video to see how good the game is.

I...Did not know that. Sweet! Thanks for the info.

 

I had all the sets up to and including swamp stalkers. Ah daemon dice, saw that one in Inquest but never had it.
