• 2:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, unless people go to the streets and yell that
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: they must have an episode. What if they do, then
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: I'll make it happen.
• 2:41

  Speaker 7: And Dexter being a very good boy of his.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Time.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, supporting, supporting the habits.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just gonna say this, Dexter is the
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: d D.
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: Hey, there you go.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: We got together with other key forgers of the community
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: and we've decided that Dexter will drive us everywhere, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: we've all agreed this, and we all agreed this is fair.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: You didn't get to say what do you mean you
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: weren't aware of You didn't get a say in it.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: We just we voted, and that's what we voted for. Congrats.
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: Okay, cool, sweet I dig in.
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: If anyone ever wants to pay for all my travel,
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: room and board and maybe some food, I will gladly
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: be your d D at any conventionally. Yeah, you have
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: to pay for all of that though.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Listen, ubers are pricey. So well, we'll talk later, but
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: we have things to go over. There's a game found
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: a boot I don't know if any of you heard.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: How's the game Found doing? Everybody? Is it going? Well?
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: One hundred thousand euros? I half a million?
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's not including stores, that's just purely people
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: going through the game found.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Right, Yep, that's a lot of mooney. I think I'm
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: not sure as much.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: As the original Kickstarter.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: But wow, good at the time, of recording. It is
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: November eleventh. Five nine euros have been have been spent
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: by seventeen eighty one backers with four days to go.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: So I don't know. I wonder, you know, because I
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: know they set what was the original goal? Did they
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: set a goal? Right? I know it was like this
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: year seven? Yeah, So the fifty thousand must be because
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: that's what key Forge does too, right, They're like fifty thousand.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: It's you know, it's so they're their their team can
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: be like, oh, funded in forty seven seconds, you know,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: like obviously it's a market marketing. Yeah, right, So but
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: key Forge also puts THEIRS at five fifty thousand dollars
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: to fund it, so that must be the lowest that
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: game found is willing to do. Yeah, just a thought,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I would guess. So, so, so what do the four
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: days left? Yea, four days left?
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: So short?
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: It's funded, so who who cares? Why is it so short? Well,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: key Forges is only the same amount of days.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: No, key Forge is like thirty days.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Nah, I think again, it's not. It's literally ten days.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I think you're wrong, But okay, I think I'm right
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: because I've covered every single one of them for the
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: past four years. So yeah, it's only ten days, but
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: how come now, hold on, hold on, hold on, now,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: let me say this. Yeah, because he posts them daily
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: for ten days and he's got like nine of them.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: That's why. But now with that being said, there are,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: you know, certain things that they need you to do,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: which you'll get into the FAQ, right, and how Actually
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I don't think the FAQ actually has a lot to
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: do with it, but there's certain things they need you
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: to do, like if you're doing if you have selections
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: to make, that will take you know, you'll have like
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: two weeks after the game Found is closed to make
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: your selections, so on and so forth. So there's a
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: lot that goes on after the actual game Found has closed. Right, Yeah,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: so that's probably why you think it goes for a month,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: but it actually it's really only ten days. Pledge managers,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: but then it's it's pushing people like, hey, we need
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: you to fill out your manager do your pledge manager thing,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: and people go, I'll get on it, and then they
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: never do. Right. It's kind of it's a perpetual wookie, right,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Like I keep saying I'm going to do these things,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: and then I never do and then one day thirty
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: days later I might get to it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: Maybe. Yeah, So that was one of the questions that
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: Dexter had earlier as I was collecting questions.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: I think Felix had that question too.
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: And then asked again. So I thought the FAQ had
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: a timeline, but maybe it's more so, yeah, the detailed time. Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: So basically the campaign ends on November seventh, which is.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Two days by Friday. If you're listening to this, Yeah,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: so we'll probably this episode is dropping. Is the day
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: that you'll yes, yes, it is the day that it ends,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: So fill out your pledge managers.
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: Pledge Manager starts November eighth and closes no November fifteen.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Fill out your pledge manager tomorrow.
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: And I think another good thing to look at where
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: we are in the year and the timeline. I'm not
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: sure if there will always be this big of a
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: gap between the game found and when it actually delivers.
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: I don't have an issue with it, but a thing
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: when it comes to production, especially in the world. Chinese
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: New Year is in January.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I believe, as is regular New Year.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: It's more towards I think like they was in February,
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: but I could be wrong. Yeah, I don't know when
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: it exactly.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: All on computers and can figure this out. I don't
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: know why.
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: We're also, yes, you look it up while I.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Think is wrong? Hold on when this is wrong? Yeah,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: go ahead.
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: I was just saying, there is a time period where
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: we are in our holidays in December and then right
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: after hours there is Chinese New Year. This same is
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: usually shut down for a couple of weeks, so it
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: makes sense that you have basically all of the game
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: found stuff ending on November sixteenth, and then you don't
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: actually get the product until it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Is Chinese New Year, like two weeks. Yes, Oh that's why.
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: That's why it's a big deal.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I thought it was like a week and I'm like,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: this seems wrong. Chinese New Year, according to Google is
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Tuesday February seventeenth, also very important and altered history February seventeenth,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty six to Tuesday March third, twenty twenty six.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: Okay, so yeah it is. I thought it went from
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: the end of January until.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it changes. I think it changes
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: every year because it says oh yeah, date varies annually
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: because it's based on the second new moon after the
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: winter solstice, so it can be between fall between anywhere
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: between January twenty first and February twentieth, happens happening on
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: February seventeenth, a very important time in Alter history.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: So I've worked in a bunch of businesses before where
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: that does impact you know, production and deliveries and things
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: like that, So it makes sense. But that's also just
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: you know, they need a lot of time for the pledges,
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: like what you said, production making sure that orders are
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: not you know, taken too late, so that they're not
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: you know, delivered late. Give it that little nice runway.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: And I think I think Altered is a little lucky.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: There are no I don't believe there's anything custom in anything, right, No,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: not this time now, Okay, yeah, because like key Forge
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: does custom stuff and that's a pain in the ass.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: So and Dexter found the proof.
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: So it's less than thirty though it's it's seems it's.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Less than thirty. It's it's eighty eight.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: Well that might be including pledge manager.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: That is including pledgement.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: That's the.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: It's including pledge manager.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: Anyways, either way, I don't think we even really introduced
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: this episode. But hey, we're going off a lesser known
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: details about the game found and hopefully you're hearing this
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: either early on Patreon or Friday morning, bright and early,
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: and this can help you see what you want to
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: do with your pledge before it closes, see what you
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: want to do at your LGS, or see what you
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: need to do with your pledge manager.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: So absolutely so, do we want to go through the faq?
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: See I put the faq there in case any questions
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: came out from you guys or anyone in the live
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: chat that we needed to double check. I think I
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: pulled anything out of it super interesting that I saw
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: like pop up commonly. One of the first questions which
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: I have seen more than once, and that Dexter also had,
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: was what exactly is even in a collector booster? And
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: it does tell you on the game fan page, but
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: they also have an entire article about.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: It we covered on your show, Dexter.
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he probably didn't listen to that episode.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Oh well, I don't know. Chili was here and I did.
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: I did listen to it, but I wasn't on it,
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: so I wasn't like paying as much attention to it.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Cool stuff, Yeah, we get it. Yeah, cool stuff coming in.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: I mean you got full arts coming in right. Well,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: when we say full art, I mean in full art baby,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: no text that will get yeah, I think yeah.
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: I think either on our episode or on hga's episode,
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: they kind of broke down what's included and how many
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: comments it is blah blah blah.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: But we did. We kind of went through like the
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: you know, some of the things that you can see,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: so you'll see like the full arts, which it's again
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: is full art, right, no textless, so get that. That
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: should be fine.
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm just gonna run through the percentages really quick
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: of each slots, maybe as possible.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Dexter wanted.
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, people really people mostly want to know percentage of math.
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: All right, here we go. In the two minutes or less.
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: There are fifteen playable cards. Card one you have a
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: fifty percent chance to be a foil Hero. There are
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: six in total to collect fifty percent chance to have
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: a foil token for in total to collect cards two
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: through seven. Six cards are foil commons one rate of course,
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: because they're all the same ninety six to collect in total.
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: Also good to note at this point that every card
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: in a collector booster is foiled and I hate to
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: say this, but I know some people actually really don't
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: like foil cards. So if that is, you just know
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: that every single card in a collector booster is foiled already,
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: but you could cood it in just normal later on
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: if you want it. So cards eight to ten three
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: cards are one hundred percent chance to be a foiled
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: rare one hundred and ninety two to collect in total.
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: Card eleven is a foiled unique, so guaranteed unique in
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: every collector booster. Card twelve is a fifty percent chance
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: to be a foil unique, a forty percent chance to
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: be a foil standard exalted with six total to collect,
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: and a ten percent chance to be a foil emissary.
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: Alt are exalted with six in total to collect. And
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: I believe in this article they do have have pictures
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: of the full art emissary heroes at least three examples
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: Della and Bowl and Soul and Helua. The sole one
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: is very very good. Uh, Dellan bowl is cool too,
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: but the sole one is next level, so those are
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: very cool. And then we are at Card thirteen is
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: seventy I hit two minutes, seventy five percent for a
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: foil unique. Twenty percent for a foil standard full Art
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: Hero with six to collect, and five percent for a
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: foil emissary full Art Hero with six to collect. Card
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: fourteen is a foil full Art common with twelve total
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: to collect, and then finally, Card fifteen is ninety three
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: percent to be a foil full Art Rare with twelve
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: to collect, five percent for a emissary full Art Exalted
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: six total to collect, two percent chance for a full
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: art World's twenty twenty five Hero with six to collect,
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: and then finally less than one percent foil serialized emissary
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: full Art Hero one and eighty to collect in total
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: thirty per Hero. The serialized cards, they are able to
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: be reprinted, but they will not be serialized when you
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: reprint them, because that would obviously defeat the purpose. What
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: all right, that's what's in a collector's booster.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: I have the MSRPs thirty dollars.
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know if they've released.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Actually actually just from seeing.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: The yeah, thirty bucks ish, it's like twenty nine and change.
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So the yeah MSRP for a collector booster. I
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: want to make sure I'm looking at it correct. Yeah,
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: is twenty four to ninety euros, so whatever whatever that
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: converts to. I think I had some more stuff in
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: here about collector boosters, which we should just talk about
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: right now. So your lgs can get more collector boosters
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: than people just backing through the game found, but they
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: will still be a limited product compared to you know,
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: your normal displays, your normal boosters. This is one of
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: the big things where their Equinox wanted to make sure
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: that there was still you know, a good reason to
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: you know, support your lgs and go to them and
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: get a benefit there. And this next part in our
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: notes I marked and read because I'm gonna give some
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: opinions here and also state that I am not a
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: store owner, but this is just kind of what I
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: have been seeing. And it's so a store orders a
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: case which is six displays, right, and they get six
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: collector boosters thrown on top free of charge. At least
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: that's how the price is broken down for them. So
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: in my experience, most lgs is what they'll do is
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: they'll keep a couple of the displays for selling out right,
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: you know, and then they'll keep, you know, a couple
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: that they open to give out as price support or
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: single booster sales things like that. So there's been a
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: lot of discussion around the minimum being six displays or
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: one case. I think, honestly, that's an entirely fair minimum,
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: and I don't see how a store, if it supports altered,
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: can't go through six displays. And one of the other
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: things I think the stores might be confused about, and
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: I don't know if it's just not portrayed well enough
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: or they don't want to do it. Those collective boosters
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: that are thrown on top, those are definitely intended to
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: be sold for MSRP or even more than MSRP, because
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: they are going to be very popular. I think stores
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: don't believe that they're going to be popular, and so
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: a lot of them are either just throwing them in
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: for free with the pre order or where they're not
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: understanding why they would even want them. But my looking
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: around and gauging a lot of the conversations in discord
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: and things like that is there are people who want
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: to order like cases of just collector boosters, and that's
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: like four hundred dollars worth of product, and there's multiple
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: people that want to do that. So I don't know,
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: what do you what do you guys think about that.
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: There in terms of body wise for people that are
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: unique hunting and stuff like that, like, that's really the
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: way to go. You don't get the ball and then
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: you contally start accumulating.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: They have higher chances of hitting unique for the same
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: price as a display, or even chances to get some
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: other rare goodies.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Like the Exalted rarities.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: So it's just pure value for those people that are
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: specifically hunting.
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely, And the way that I kind of looked
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: at it is I think adding one for a pre
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: order is super smart. I think that's actually a really
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: good deal that some lpss are doing. But I've also
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: heard of stories that are like, if we don't get
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: twelve people in advance to preorder, we're not going to
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: order at all, and we're giving you one free collector booster,
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: you know, for each display preordered. In my mind, if
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: you set it up to where you're like, Okay, I'm
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: going to buy one case or two cases, which is
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: either six displays or twelve displays, anyone who pre orders
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: ahead of a certain time, I'm going to throw a
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: collector booster on top for free, and then anything after
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: that in the store is just going to be split
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: up and sold separately. Will you maybe have displays that
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: kind of go you know, unopened for a bit, possibly,
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: but then you're selling any extra collector boosters that weren't
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: pre ordered at thirty dollars or more a pop, which
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: is pure profit for you.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: You know, maybe. I mean I can definitely you got
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: to remember store game stores and this is kind of
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: where I talked about it a while ago. So I
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: don't really want to beat another dead horse. Game stores
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: are fickle animals, right, Like, they work on pretty thin margins,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: so you know, they kind of gota make sure they're
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: going to make theirs otherwise.
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: You know, Yeah, one hundred margin is pretty good though.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: I mean one hundred percent margin, it's pretty good, but
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: you also have to be able to sell it. Yeah,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: I say, like, I don't think any they should have
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: no problem. Right in theory, they should have no problem.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: But you know, again my lot again, a lot of
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: game stores don't have the ability to just sit on
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: product and be okay with it.
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah. The other thing for me is if you are
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: a game store in you know, this day and age,
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: I would think if you could, you would want to
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: have an online store and that's like kind of the
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: secondary you know option I would see is if your
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: local scene doesn't buy up all the collector boosters, I
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: can like almost guarantee that someone from Canada or something
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: would hop on the chance to buy more of those online.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Especially those other places that just can't order.
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I think what my theory is is that the
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: stores are undervalue, undervaluing just how much the collector boosters
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: you know, will sell. And and I understand there, especially
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: if you're you know, a bigger store that runs more
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: than a couple of TCGs, you have so many products
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: to go over. But that's kind of why I wanted
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: to break it down as well. Who knows if some
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: LGS owner will hear this, but maybe you know, a
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: player will hear it and they're like, oh, I misunderstood that,
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: and they'll be able to to better tell their their LGS.
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: But yeah, I think the collector boosters will sell. The
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: other thing is is they are limited, so it's it's
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: going to be similar to you know, any other TCG
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: that had a special special project product. If there is
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: someone who can buy it and you can get it
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: to them, it's going to sell out.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it might I can definitely seeing where
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: the store's online presences, it might have a better a
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: better time doing it right, lot easier to sell them,
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: you know. So I don't know, We'll have to wait
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: and see it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: That's a.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: That's to watch it.
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: So yeah, I am also interested in if they become
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: so popular, if we see some go for fifty or
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: sixty dollars a pack, we'll see.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, if if demand is high enough and supply
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: is short enough. Yeah.
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So the moving on to other questions I've seen
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: or questions asked by Felix or Dexter. The game Found number,
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: I think we kind of talked about it. The total
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: does not include any LGS orders, but if you order
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: through your LGS, all of the stretch goals that are
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: hit on the game Found will be include in that order.
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: So what was uh the first stretch goal that they see?
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: And this this boggles my mind. Didn't he didn't Loki
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: say there wasn't going to be stretch goals? This is
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: just a pre or.
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, from the start they went to yes exactly. They
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: changed their mind because people kept asking about it, So
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: they figured something out.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: What it was people keep asking about it? We're going
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: to do it, like again, this is just again, this
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: is this goes back to my whole like, you know what,
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: my kids keep asking to eat ice cream before dinner,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: but I don't allow him to do it, right, So,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: like I mean, I'm just saying it.
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: Was not as good of a dad as Equinox.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Or by a better dad, because yeah, goes back towards
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: my thing of like, Okay, so are you running a
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: game found as a pre order? Are you running a
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: game found as a game found? Right? And don't fucking
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: take the like you need the local store, like more
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: than ever, you need the local business. If you don't
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: have the local LGS, you will not have a card
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: game to sell. Don't You're not You're not Wizards. Please
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: do not take them out of the scenario.
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well they do include them, So I think it's
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: the opposite of your worry.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Well, I know the lgs's will get them and they're
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: able to sell them. But again I think, I guess see,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: And then here's the problem is, I don't know how
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: much of the community has already pledged a game found,
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: how many of the still burgeoning you know this still
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: how much of the altered community is bought from Game Found.
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: It was one thousand.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I know, I know how many backers it is, right,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: but what is that person? What does eighteen hundred backers mean?
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: You got to imagine this more than eighteen hundred players
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: in the world, right, Yeah, So what does that percentage
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: look like? Right? Because, like I mean, maybe there's thirty
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: two hundred or thirty six hundred players in the world.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: I'm just again, that percentage means a lot, right, And
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: you cannot, cannot, cannot, cannot take the game stores out
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: of it, right. They need to make their money because
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: otherwise they're not going to support you, and they'll just
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: keep supporting Magic because it's what brings in the Dallas. Yeah.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: What does that have to do with the stretch goals?
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: Though?
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Stretch goals are typically a reason to order through the
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Game Found, right, so as you'll also.
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: Get it if you're ordered through your LGS, though.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Do I I guess that depends on how to LGSX.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: The boxes that they get.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: That's what I was just saying, right, But okay, so
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: hold on, hear me out. That doesn't mean your algas
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: is okay, So what are the stretch goals? Tell me
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: what the stretch goals are yes, and explain my thoughts
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: to you.
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: This is this is how it works out, and this
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: is why I understand. Uh well, a lot of people
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: asked for it, which is one reason, but in all honesty,
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: another good reason is because the campaign is maybe not
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: doing as much as they would want as quickly, which
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: is totally fair. How they did the stretch goals was
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: basically by adding stuff that they already have access to,
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: which is for the five hundred thousand euro milestone as
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: a box toper. In every Seeds of Unity display there
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: will be one sky Bound Odyssey OP booster, so it'll
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: be a promo boost and I'll have those Chibi Leviathans.
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: And then at the next stretch goal of six hundred
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: and fifty thousand euros, each display will include a random
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: unique from the new expansion on top of what was
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: already on there. So these are things that they could
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: easily pivot at, you know, before the campaign ends to
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: add them on top. And no matter if you ordered
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: directly from the game, found or pre ordered at your LGS,
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: or buy a box at your LGS, these will also
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: be included on all of those purchases.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, So the idea of it is, yes, but you
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: cannot tell me what the lgs's are going to do
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: with each each one of those, right, So maybe if
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: you buy a box at your LGS, you might get it,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: and maybe you might not.
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: Well, if you buy a box from your LGE, yes,
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: and they've opened it, then you have a big problem.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're in the.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: Box, they're inside them, inside, not.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Just added to them.
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: If they opened up the cellophane and took out the
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: box stoppers, that would be something really crubbing.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Well, no worries about it a little bit.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Well, Also, like box toppers for many moons, and if
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: you've ever played other if you've ever played other games,
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: like the box stoppers don't actually come to the top
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: of the box, right, And if this is how Altered's
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: doing it, that's that's again perfectly fine. But a lot
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: of the times, like you open a box topper, that
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean that, or you buy a box, that doesn't
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: mean you'll be opening a box, you know, the the
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: toppers of the box. Normally the LGS owner just hands
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: you the box stopper.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: As it is, it is possible that these add ons
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: are not physically in the box, but I am guessing
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: that they will be based on the things that they
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: picked and the time they're doing it. Otherwise I could
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: see them being as part of the cellophane. But the
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: normal box toppers that they already planned have to be
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: within the box because they are different, I believe, But
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: you never know. They could They could do all sorts
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: of things, so who knows.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: True, I'm just gonna I like it.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: As a consumer, I like it because I mean, it's
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: just more style.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: As a principal, we like stuff give us.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: But as a principal there there's like two sides. For example,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: this this stress folds only account for people going to
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: the game or not of the store, So.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: These rascals are exclusively to this particular game found In addition,
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: I think you started sitting up.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Can't set a precedent that it might become more common
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: in the future, And I'm not sure that's a good thing.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Well, now, all you gotta do is just bug equinox enough,
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: tag locate enough, just scords to be like, hey, we
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: want you gotta tag Eric whatever. I just gotta tag
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: somebody and eventually I'll get what I want.
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's really two things I do think
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: they wanted to, you know, breathe some more life into
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: the campaign. And the thing is is it is kind
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: of like this weird you know, balance to Strike, because.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: You there are.
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: People who are going to order through the game found
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: and their lgs, which is what I'm going to try
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: and do if I can make it work out. Stretch
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: pay is a beautiful, wonderful thing. I did not put
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: this in my show notes, but I've got to.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: now now I'm freaking out. Okay, so what are you
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: freaking out about? Okay, so let's just say like I
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: wanted to breathe some life into the campaign, right. That's now.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: That is now making the assumption that they did have
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: a number in mind, and that number wasn't there, so
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: they introduced a stretch goal to try to get people
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: to buy. So again, they were looking for more money
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: from the game found as opposed to as opposed to
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: just selling it outright in store, which one of these
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: don't listen to YouTube because you two all of a
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: sudden started playing. So that's saying that, yes, we do
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: have a number of mind. No it wasn't fifty thousand,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: but yeah, we're trying to breathe some life into the game,
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: found campaign to get a few more dollars, and that
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: we maybe kind of care about the stores, but maybe
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: also kind of don't because you know, this is a
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: little bit cheaper and a better way to do things.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Because I can's not the middleman.
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: No, no, I can. I can guarantee one hundred and
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: ten percent that they really care about the LGS and
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: everything they do they try to think of the LGS.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: The other thing is, especially now, there are people who
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: play this game and want this game and don't have
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: an LGS that's carrying it.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: So now I get too. I trust me, I understand
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: it more than you know.
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: Col I don't know if I don't know if you do.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: I do because I am one of those people who
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: does not have anologs and likes to play this game.
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: So yeah, I think they are trying to strike a
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: balance between the two. And the other thing is that's
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: my life. I guess on why they would do stretch goals,
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: and it's not anything I would.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: They wouldn't have done it like that would have made
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: me feel so much better to be like, hey, guys,
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: like we get it.
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: I think you're in the minority, unfortunately.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: And and I probably am right, and and a lot
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: of the times when it comes to these things, somebody
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: has to be dad and step in and be like, listen,
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: you little shit. You may not like the broccoli, but
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: it's good for digestion, so you're gonna eat it.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: Why didn't they Why didn't they have the rekill portal
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: to these stretch goals?
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: Then that is one thing I'm not sure. The only
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: reason I could think on why they are separate is
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: because the stores get a way better deal than the
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: average person. And maybe that would if they were both
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: combined on the same page, that would kind of, you know,
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: shoot themselves in the foot. It's also an entirely different
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: like order process, so well, you also don't want technical
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: limitation or what.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: You also don't want people knowing like what the stores
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: are getting it for. Yes, it's kind of a no no,
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like you don't want to know.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: You don't want them to know what a good deal
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: they're getting because it's like, well they're getting that good
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: of a deal that means you can make mine less, right,
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: So now you're in a weird spot. So nothing people,
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: but people. People, listen, bro, I work in a pawn shop. Right,
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: most things in my store are already fifty percent off
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: what they would be new, right, And I charge significantly
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: significantly less on jewelry. You can't find my prices anywhere else.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: I still, on every jewelry sale that ever comes through
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: my store get asked for a discount. It is just
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: normal human nature.
• 39:10
  Speaker 7: Yes, I think the majority of people understand what goes
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: into a game store and know that there are those margins.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: I don't think you're right, pretty, I don't think. I
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: don't think a majority of people do know. I think
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: a majority of people think that these game stores are
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: making money hand over foot and don't realize that they're
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: operating on fifteen to twenty percent margin, which on a
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: four dollars actually packs of cards are pricing. Now, what's
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: what's a pack of cards going for six? Seven bucks?
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: Depends five?
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: Buy them for altered Yet I.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Buy them by the box. So I don't really know.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: I just I've never actually done the math. But you know,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: twenty percent on five dollars, what is that a bucket?
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: You make a dollar? So on each pack you maybe.
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: Maybe a better way to say, is a good amount
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: of people do understand and are totally fine with the
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: fact that lgss have like about a forty percent margin,
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: but a margin uh anyone who orders Altered.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Okay, so that's one product line. I don't think Wizards
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: has given anybody. I don't think Pokemon is getting anybody forty.
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: All of Asthma Day products are at about a forty percent.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: That's horseshing. That's incorrect.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe if their dial maybe.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: Maybe at that top tier Asthma Day level, they're making
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: about forty percent, but your average game store owner is
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: not pumping enough inform of enough product to be at
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: that level.
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: Well, we're also talking about if they were charging MSRP.
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: So yes, if a store is charging MSRP for like
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: Asthma Day TCGs, I can tell you it's about a
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: forty percent margin.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: I think that numbers cooked, but.
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: I'm telling you that's what it is. That's what it is.
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: But most stores don't sell at MSRP. So that's where
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: it's not forty percent margin. Like, I've never paid absolute
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: one hundred percent full MSRP for a display of Altered.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: And so you're you're the reason this game's failing.
• 41:35
  Speaker 7: Well, I still buy one box from my LGS even
• 41:38
  Speaker 7: though they're like ninety percent up to MSRP. But then
• 41:43
  Speaker 7: if I have to buy more boxes, I'll order online
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: from like gamers Guild or something because I just can't
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: afford one hundred and thirty five one hundred and forty
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: dollars a box. So Game Game Nerds selling at one
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: hundred dollars a box is obviously not a forty margin.
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: But that's where it is offered.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: In my area, because I'm just gonna go over my area, right,
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: my guys take whatever they're selling the pack for and
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: just multiply it by how many packs are in a box.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever gotten a discount on a box.
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the there are plenty of lgs's who do There
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: are plenty that sell at MSRP, and there are a
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: few very rare breeds that charge over MSRP.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Somehow interesting, All right, what do we got next?
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: Call?
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Yep?
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: Depends on the game in the store.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: But yeah, yes, yep.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: Felix had a really good question about the plush and
• 42:46
  Speaker 7: how it's nice and if it's going to happen more. So,
• 42:51
  Speaker 7: I will talk about this as carefully as I can.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: Did you guys see the plushes at in France might
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: have to seek?
• 43:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they're they're very good quality. Like, and this is
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: coming from a person who I don't I don't really
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: care to have one, Like I'm kind of similar to Wookie.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: It's just not.
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: Quite my thing. But as of right now, I have
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: one on my pledge and I'm kind of tiptoeing back
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: and forth. They just are really nice quality for the price.
• 43:28
  Speaker 7: They have a bell on the inside of them, which
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: I think is kind of smart.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, instead of they smell like strawberries, I.
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: Can send you one that smells like strawberries if you
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: really want.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: Wait, I think i'm inn.
• 43:46
  Speaker 7: But yeah, they're very soft, very nice. But what I
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: will say is they didn't know how well something like
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: this would sell, where maybe certain people weren't very aware,
• 44:04
  Speaker 7: including the enamel pins. The enamel pins sold out the
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: second day of Worlds.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: I told you that the first thing to go was
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: going to be the pins and the plush. First thing
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: the plush was.
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: The plush was not for sale because of production didn't
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: finish in time. But if it was, I can also
• 44:25
  Speaker 7: tell you that it probably would have sold out.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for whatever reasons pins and plushies are they
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: go gangbusters in the CCG community. I have no idea why,
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: but they're just there are things that people absolutely love.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:40
  Speaker 7: I really wanted some pins. Obviously I could not get
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: any because they sold out before I even had a
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: chance to look. But what I can say is, if
• 44:51
  Speaker 7: this is something that people want, if it's something you
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: would buy more of in the future, like if they
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: come out with a ratitask here or some other kind
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: of plush added to your penguin order, Yeah, add it
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: to your pledge on Game Found, or just talk about
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: it more often, bring it up, how much you would
• 45:15
  Speaker 7: love it, what.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: You would have bought them if any of them were
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: ones I liked.
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah. So the the pins and the Woolliback were both
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: limited production, so once those are gone, they're gone. But
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: it has been mumbled maybe that if they sell out
• 45:40
  Speaker 7: with the Game Found, maybe they'll they'll try and produce
• 45:44
  Speaker 7: more so.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: The second run, Yeah, or more, maybe do another another
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: critter except for the wolli Back. Is that what you're saying?
• 45:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I know they would do more more of the
• 45:58
  Speaker 7: or the.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: Brass bugs or a penguin.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, if it's something that you want. This one's selling
• 46:06
  Speaker 7: out and then people talking about how much they want
• 46:08
  Speaker 7: it are both good ways to make that.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: Happen again, make the penguin.
• 46:15
  Speaker 7: I think that one's less likely, but you know.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: I'm just I'm not gonna put it out there. If
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: you make a bagpie horder, I will buy all of them.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Continue on my continuing quest to own every Magpie horder. Yeah,
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: but that's just like Est to own all of his
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: person that he keeps buying. I bought a quest to
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: I forget who feels Garricks? That's sweet? But you do twelve?
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: Maybe that should be a new segment on the show,
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: The Garrick Count's go over how many Garrett.
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: You're beating me on the amount of arrows is that
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: I have?
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: So well, you're only beating me by three on Magpie horders?
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: Ooh nice. The next question was about the release schedule.
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: It'll remain the same as always, three sets per year
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: with four month seasons, so no change there just means
• 47:16
  Speaker 7: that there will be three game founds a year. I
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: am pretty certain that they were up front, or at
• 47:24
  Speaker 7: least it was clear that this is the new way forward.
• 47:31
  Speaker 7: I know Wookie has complained to time or two about
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: how key Forge said they were only going to do
• 47:36
  Speaker 7: it once.
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, they stopped. They have made that extraordinarily
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: clear that this is the way they are going forward
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: with it. And listen, I don't I would have probably
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: been fine with it if key Forge was like, Yep,
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: this is just how we're going to do things, because
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: this is this is kind of how we have to
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: do it. Right. It's one thing to be like, this
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: is the it's got to be the way. It's got
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: to be right because of reasons. Right, That's one thing,
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: But to go We're only ever gonna do this once
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: and then never again, and then literally the next step
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: be like well, releasing another game found It's like, really,
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: what the you are? You were very upfront honest about it,
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: right I I am. I am a big I am
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: a big proponent of people being upfront and honest, especially
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: game stores or game stores, game developer developers, distributors I
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: don't even know what they are anymore, especially both in
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: my card game, right I. In my card game, I'm
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: very big on upfront honesty. But I'm also very big
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: on you holding your word. So when you say you're
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: not going to do something, my expectation is you will
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: not do something. And it kind of does get me
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: a little bit that they did go back and be like,
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: all right, we're gonna add this stretch goal. It's kind
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: of like what you said, you aren't gonna It's like,
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: well people asked, It's like, well, you know, just because
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: people just can't give everybody what they want all the time,
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: and sometime, you know, in everybody's life there's got to
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: be a little rain. So maybe love don't get it. Yeah, great, perfect,
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: you'll like it when you don't get a stretch goal then,
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I'm just that's big for me, right because
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: that just means like I don't like it when people complain,
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: and if enough people complain, they just change something even
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: though there's no reason for it, right, Like, and I
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: feel like that happens a bunch, especially an alternate I
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: feel like that that happens a lot. Like everybody complains
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: and before there's even time to make adjustments, it's just like,
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: well we'll just uh, we'll just rot of this card.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: And then it's like, well, no, there was it's been
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: like a week, bro, Like, give give them at a
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: time to settle before you just make a decision. I
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: Ye, there there has been a time or two that
• 50:05
  Speaker 7: a little too much.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: Right, that's snap judgment of like, well, people are bitching again,
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: what do we do just to rot it?
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: It's like, okay, Yeah, I don't think any of the
• 50:16
  Speaker 7: aratas were like ones they shouldn't have done based on feedback.
• 50:21
  Speaker 7: But one of the things that I will point towards
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: that I think they listened to people too much was
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: the tumult Rewards. Because the first season had the thick,
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: you know, big card, and enough people complained that it
• 50:36
  Speaker 7: wasn't a playable card that the next set they turned
• 50:40
  Speaker 7: it into a playable card, and I'm just like, well,
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: that's just like every other TCG, Like okay, I can
• 50:46
  Speaker 7: go play Star Wars and get a stamped card like
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: well who. I liked the uniqueness of the big card,
• 50:53
  Speaker 7: but a lot of people complained, so they changed it.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: I feel like the Afana Serrada was just too too quick.
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: No, no, that's valid. That was valid.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: That's just the was valid, or the quickness was valid.
• 51:08
  Speaker 7: I mean it took them forever to arata.
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they were a little bit slow.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: Anything for what's forever.
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: Was too good for too long.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: He was like the year was it that long?
• 51:22
  Speaker 7: Didn't he was one of the original heroes.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: No, No, I know he's an original hero, but like
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: he didn't really have a breakthrough until like there had
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: to be a whole lot of ratas before all of
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: a sudden, the Faas was good, like he wasn't always busted. Well,
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: he was always good, but you busted.
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: As as soon as Waru was gone. A fess was good.
• 51:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know if you feel that play it
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: just fell unfair.
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: I kind of well number one, I kind of liked that.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: Number two, you liked that it felt unfair? Well, yeah,
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: I mean I was. I was the Afanas players, so
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: you know, I kind of liked that. But yeah, well
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know that it didn't feel like a year
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: and not feel like yeah, I swear it was like
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: forty five days and they're like ohm, tying to do this,
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: So I'm like, I don't know, it just it felt quick.
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's a long time in TCG world.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: It's it's really not though, it's really really not. Maybe
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: I just come from the days when like I don't know,
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: maybe I'm just used to like magic being like I
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: we'll just wait for it to rotate out of standard.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe that's what I'm used to.
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the the Erota conversation could be a whole episode
• 52:45
  Speaker 7: on its own. And when you should and when you shouldn't,
• 52:47
  Speaker 7: And how this has never happened in a TCG before,
• 52:50
  Speaker 7: even though TCGs have erotted cards before they were even
• 52:54
  Speaker 7: in the hands of people, don't.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you got going on outside with
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: everyone else on the on the server, but I didn't
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: say all that that was. That was a whole lot.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: I've never said that, there's never been before.
• 53:08
  Speaker 7: Well, that's that's what I'm saying, is the erotic conversation
• 53:11
  Speaker 7: could be its own episode.
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it just it just to me, it felt very
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: quick and maybe I'm wrong, maybe more time had passed
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: than actually you know, maybe more time had gone through
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: than actually then what felt like for me, that's very possible,
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: but it just it felt like all of a sudden,
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: it was like, oh a funess is good and he
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: su and he sucks again. Like that's really how it
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: felt to me. It was like, as soon as it
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: was good, it was now bad again.
• 53:39
  Speaker 7: Do you wanna do you want to know something a
• 53:41
  Speaker 7: fauness is still greatness is good?
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: Still?
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: Sure, that's all. So some of the some of feel
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: feel very quick and rushed. But and again maybe it's
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: just they they felt quick and rushed to me, and
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: that's not the reality of the situation.
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: Well, Uh, I have only one last bullet and it's
• 54:07
  Speaker 7: a very very big one for anyone who made it
• 54:10
  Speaker 7: this far.
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: Is it for your valantine?
• 54:13
  Speaker 7: No, I was gonna say before before I discussed it.
• 54:17
  Speaker 7: Did any want to have anything else that we feel
• 54:20
  Speaker 7: like could have been covered? That you had questions when
• 54:23
  Speaker 7: you first looked at the game found but didn't get
• 54:26
  Speaker 7: them answered right away?
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: Man grizzled bets of game found, so we understand.
• 54:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I just want everyone to know for this episode,
• 54:38
  Speaker 7: I looked all over for all sorts of questions so
• 54:42
  Speaker 7: that we could all put it in one episode to
• 54:44
  Speaker 7: hopefully answer a lot of the ones that were asked commonly.
• 54:47
  Speaker 7: I even looked at like YouTube comments for other creators'
• 54:50
  Speaker 7: videos and looked at what they were asking. Uh. There
• 54:54
  Speaker 7: was a video where key Forge was mentioned a lot,
• 54:58
  Speaker 7: and I think one of them was like, if key
• 55:00
  Speaker 7: Forge can survive doing this, then Altered will be fine.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: Well, Okay, So again, right, it's it's designed and I
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: don't necessarily know like they're they're saying, this is not
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: the way we want to do it. We're not doing
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: it as a cost saving measure, right, We're doing it
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: because this is just what we're going to doing it
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: as a pre order. It's allowing us to do a
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: whole lot of a bunch of stuff. You know. It's
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: just it's it's one of those things where it is
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: designed a little bit to help help distribution and help flow, right,
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: and by flow, I mean like how much to produce. Right,
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: it gives you that idea of how much to produce
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: for a single game. Now, key Forge has survived doing it,
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: but growth has been stagnant, regressing it best.
• 56:05
  Speaker 7: Right, No, girls, how was how did the game fair
• 56:09
  Speaker 7: with Asthma Day? How did that go?
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: Well? As soon as the pandemic hit they gave up
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: on it. So I'm not saying you're wrong that it
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: would have went further under Asthma Day. That's not what
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: I'm saying at all.
• 56:23
  Speaker 7: And I'm just saying as it's not you go, h,
• 56:32
  Speaker 7: it's like a necessity thing at this point, is how
• 56:35
  Speaker 7: I see it. It's not like something they absolutely wanted
• 56:39
  Speaker 7: to do or envisioned doing. It's it's really just in
• 56:45
  Speaker 7: many countries, Asthma Day was actively hurting the game, in
• 56:50
  Speaker 7: my opinion, And I have experienced working with Asthma Day,
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: so I probably shouldn't be saying this because I work
• 56:57
  Speaker 7: with them later this month.
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: Oops, But they don't listen. I think.
• 57:04
  Speaker 7: I like, yeah, I was on the other end of
• 57:08
  Speaker 7: some of these issues. And the only reason, and this
• 57:13
  Speaker 7: is this part is really truly just my opinion. The
• 57:16
  Speaker 7: only reason they can't come out and say like Asthma
• 57:20
  Speaker 7: Day failed us, blah blah blah, is because they still
• 57:23
  Speaker 7: have to work closely with Asthma Day, especially in I think.
• 57:28
  Speaker 7: I think in Asia, Asthmade will still be distributing the
• 57:32
  Speaker 7: game for one reason or another. So it's really, in
• 57:37
  Speaker 7: my eyes, just a unfortunate necessity so that they can
• 57:44
  Speaker 7: try to provide what they've always wanted to provide with
• 57:48
  Speaker 7: altered and Asthma Day did not help as much as
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: they would have hoped with that.
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: And I'll agree like Asthma Day sucks. I'll just flat
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: out say it as is the worst, the worst, right,
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: Like if ASTHMAE ever comes a calling to buy your game, like,
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: either don't sell it or sell it all right, Like,
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: don't don't be like, oh, we're gonna kind of sell it,
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: like and then you'll just help us with distribution, because
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: they won't, right, so just don't like. So I agree
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: going to Game Found was probably the correct decision for them,
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: and I have no problem with them going to the
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: game found thing. They were upfront, they were honest about it, like, hey,
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: this is this is how we're going to handle it,
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: and this is how we're going to be distribution. That's phenomenal.
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: The thing that key forge is running up against again
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: right now is the ability to grow the game now.
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: Altered is light years ahead of Kei Forge. In that fact,
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: it's literally been four years since Keyfde has been back
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: and we still don't have an local organized play system.
• 59:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't want the That was one of the
• 59:12
  Speaker 7: complaints I also saw on the video about why you know,
• 59:17
  Speaker 7: keyfard still exists, but it doesn't have all of these
• 59:20
  Speaker 7: things and Altered does.
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: Right, So that's that's a that's that's huge, right, there
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: is no local op for Keyforde, meaning there is no growth. However,
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: with that being said, it's incredibly hard to get growth
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: in a game When a majority of your sales are
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: coming from your game Found, it doesn't leave the people
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: who are wanting to buy your game, Like when you
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: offer these big package is in the way they're doing,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: Like it's like, well, I've got all I'm pretty much
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: gonna need for this set. You're not buying it from
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: your local game store. And therefore, if you're not buying
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: it from your local game store, your local game store
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: is now extraordinarily uninterested in helping you what's you know,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: and helping that game grow whatsoever, because there's nothing in
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: it for them. So it becomes kind of this weird
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: catch twenty two situation where it's like, oh, well, we
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: really want to support the game, and we're gonna do
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: YadA YadA, so on and so forth, but there's no
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: reason to carry the game because everybody buys it from
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: the Game Found, and really you're just become a space
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: for people to take up that aren't going to spend
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: any money other than snacks and sleeves.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: We'll be catering to the usual people.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: Right, So it's like, well, I might as well do magic.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: At least they're drafting at least they're doing this. I
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: mean our local group for KEYFGE, we literally play Sealed
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: every single week to make sure we're buying packs from them,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: so that makes them want to continue to buy the game.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: So it's just it's going to be weird and interesting
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: to see where this ends up. Because again, I've seen
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: what Game Found has done for key Forge, and it's
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: allowed the game to continue to be available to the
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: people who want to play it and the people who
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: love playing it, but it's also made growth extraordinarily difficult.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: So I think will it do the same for Altered?
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: Maybe yes, maybe no. Maybe because they have you Altered
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: has a local op system, maybe that helps it grow.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: I don't. It's just I don't know, Like this is
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: only this is only a thing time will tell. There's
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: there's no way to know. My guess is it's going
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: to kind of go the same way of key Forge,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: right because right now, ninety three percent of games are
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: played on Game Found. I mean, there's I'm sorry, BGA,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: So it's going to become a it's going to probably
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: become a predominantly online game. That would be if I
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: had to make a if I had to make a prediction,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: in the States at least. I'm not going to say
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: what would happen in overseas because obviously that's a whole
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: other animal, right you. You you're seeing thousand plus people
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: turnouts over overseas, so I mean obviously people do show
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: up for it, for it over in the in Europe,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: so nobody will know there. But at least in the States,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a predominantly online game.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 7: I'm glad you added the stipulation of in the States.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 7: I still think maybe too high.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: But when when I when I'm saying that again, I
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: mean in the States, yeah, not not necessarily play yeah,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: not necessarily again overseas, but in the States, I would say,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: if you're playing Altered, a majority, a good majority of
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: your Altered is being played on bg A. Do you uh?
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 7: Do you want to know a funny aside? Uh?
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: For you, Wookie, I would love a funny at side.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 7: You you know your uh fan favorite flicks from the
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 7: key Forge cervix?
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what about flicks? Did you?
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 7: Uh? Did you track the conversation when he was listening
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 7: to the episode.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: A week never No, so uh.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 7: He was listening to us talk about Altered, and he
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 7: was like, well, uh, you know, at least key Ford
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 7: still has you know, more games played on t c O,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 7: And I was like, buddy, but there are six hundred
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 7: active games on VGA right now for Altered.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 7: I don't think TCO is getting that close.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 8: And he's like likes to make statements without actually knowing.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 7: If or not. Phil is very funny.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: Flix is like I don't understand flicks. Like a lot
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: of the times, I think he just rage baits, right,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: He's just like trying, like I don't, I don't even know,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: Like he just says words and then you're like you
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: got to ask like were you dropped on your head
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: as a child and that, And I think that's he
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: enjoys like that kind of questioning. I don't even know,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: because it's just like, dude, like if buddy, if you
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: even knew, right, Like, it's just like no, Like, I
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: will guarantee you that at least probably at this point,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: there have been more games played on BG I've altered
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: than of all time played on TCO. I will almost
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: guarantee it, just because of how probably. I mean, at
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: one point time, yes, there were tons of games going
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: on in TCO it's just not the case anymore. But
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: you know, it's like one of those things where it's like, dude,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: if you only knew, you know.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 7: But yeah, how many I think it gets to like
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 7: what five to ten at the most on TCO now
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 7: now nowadays.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, unless there's something going on like we're doing
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: the we're doing the weekly sealed events that cheap does
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: in our server. Yeah, yeah, it's probably about it's I
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: would say six to eight, five at ten is probably right. Yeah,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: you're probably right on that on five to ten.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 7: I wonder does does TCO have an amount of games listed?
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 7: Because I can tell you how many Altered Altered.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: I know four games on TCO.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they don't have a like total games played.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. I could probably get that you
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: wanted it.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's over. It's over one point five million
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 7: played on BGA for Altered.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: So it's probably close. It's probably closer than I've been
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: giving it credit for. But you know, I don't know,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: I've never I've never asked, you know, and it's not
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: it's not something that you know again as but they
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: hate online plays, so they would never even really, they
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: wouldn't even acknowledge that TCO existed.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they do that with a lot of their other games.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 7: It's weird. It's weird, but yeah, are you ready for
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 7: the last juicy detail?
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: Give me the tea. Yes.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 7: So this this is confirmed by Eric aka in Tux,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 7: so it's not a leak or anything. They they have
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: the article ready to go, ready to publish, to announce
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 7: that Print on Demand is released to the whole world.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 7: They are just waiting on the green light from another
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 7: partner that is holding it up nice so very nicely.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 7: Previously they wanted to have it launch at the same
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 7: time as the game found Unfortunately, whoever is holding it
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 7: up stopped that. So it's ready. They just need the
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 7: final stamp of approval and.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: Then way to go Netherlands. It's always the Dutch.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 7: And Print on Demand and marketplace will be open to uh,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 7: the entire world is probably how it will be described.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 7: But I wouldn't be surprised if there's you know, some
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 7: weird island that's technically not included in Print on Demand.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 7: So yeah, but it's.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: Done, Nosylnce. So if you're altered player of the Galopoglos,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: talk you.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 7: But yeah, that that is the last thing that I
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 7: wanted to put out there some more people could know,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 7: and then that was about it. I asked around if
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 7: people had questions or confusions about the campaign, and this
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 7: was what we gathered. If you really care to know
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 7: a breakdown of every single tier, you can go read
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 7: it on the game found or you can go listen
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 7: to Hero's Guide to his Gartha rattle off every tier.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 7: But we're not going to do that because by the
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 7: time you're listening to this, it will be Friday or later.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: So it'll be Friday, the Wookie will be hungover playing
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: key Forge. It'll be a good time. It'll be my
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: first You guys are ready for this. I just want
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: to I just want to kind of preface this, give
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: you guys kind of an idea. Right My last day
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: off from work was October eighth, It is now November second.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: My first day off will be Wednesday, November fifth, to
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: head up to to head to Minnesota. That is almost
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: a thirty day stretch. That has bananas. That is crazy.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 4: That's too much work.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 7: That is crazy.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: That's that's crazy. But it's not.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 8: Exactly like you're going to be resting at the key Forge.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: My whoever won't be that's for sure. All right.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 7: Well, only other thing we had planned was talking about
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 7: some events real quick. I can already hear in Wikie's
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: voice that he's saying to skip the lowreer.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: Oh we have war.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 7: We've had the Copellia lawyer.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 4: Copelli has been up there like the last four weeks.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, if you really want to hear us.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: Her anyways, you really want.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 7: To hear us read the beg us in the comments.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 7: So that wiki lets us out of lower prison events.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 7: Another another exciting thing, Uh, the a Wall events are
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 7: up that and you see has a bunch of stuff
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 7: going on. There's a couple other I think pretty consistent
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 7: tournaments that are up and coming. Once again. They like
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 7: they like to say that there is no leader. It's
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 7: a different person for every tournament basically, so either Pandy
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 7: Andy or Chili or Meltdown or someone else. But they
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 7: have their their own discord server.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: If all right, Well you know what, search it out.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: Hats off to you, and you see, they are my
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: favorite bunch of altered people. I'm not gonna lie to nobody.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but you should bring back normal Blitz because I
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 7: don't want to play and you see, so bring back blitz.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: What is wrong with the end you see it?
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 7: I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. I just don't
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 7: want to play in it.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: But why as soon as I.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 4: Have un because I want to play my unique.
