  Speaker 1: I was close. I was in the vicinity. I thought
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it was like, I don't know why I was thinking
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: two weeks, but I thought I had talked to the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: guy that was there the I'm guessing he's the owner
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of the manager, and we talked about a whole bunch
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: of the Altered stuff. He's like, and he was telling
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: me about it. Somehow I got I got early August

  Speaker 1: stuck in my brain. But that's okay because Dallas is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: are Dallas's end of I don't know when Dallas is
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: end of July, the after gen Con, the weekend after

• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, so three weeks from now, I guess.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But let's follow the nice rubric that Cole is
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: so gracious to provide us on a weekly basis, because
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: it's been a couple of weeks since we've had one
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of these shows. So it's time to go over some
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: stuff we've had, news man and big news, right, I
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: feel like this is huge news. I don't know why,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: but I feel like it's the hugest news we've had
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: altered in sometime, and it's really not but I feel
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: like it is.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Right fair, Yeah, outside of you know, tournament updates and
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: just like results and regular old lore coming out, I
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: think it's Yeah, it's been the biggest update we've had
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: in a while.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but news set coming out Skyborne Odyssey. So we
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: asked what was after what happens when you go down?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Where do we what's that? I'm sorry, sky bound? What
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: did I say?
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Skyborne from key for?

• 3:55
  Speaker 1: when we go down? Right? It turns out we go
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: up after.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Right, Yep, I think we are trying to escape something
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: based on what the lower might be heading towards. Because
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: if you didn't know the lower articles they release and
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: kind of speak out weekly take us through.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: The whole set and lead us into the next set.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping I'm not coming in double here right now,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: or at least you're not. We're going to find out.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking my microphone's picking on my air conditioner. Sorry,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: if this comes out double.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: We cannot hear it on our side at least.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my air condition is hot, hotter than hot in
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin right now. I'm sorry. I need my AC It's
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: got to be on otherwise I can only imagine Texas
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: My office is probably the hottest room in the house.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: So it gets it gets pretty unbearable sometimes after stream
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: on for Friday, I just like bumbled out of my
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: office and has had to get out of there.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's and not only is it nice and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: good and hot, it's nice and good and humid because
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it just rained, so it gets even better. But we
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: get a first look at some art. I'd like to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: talk about the art a little bit when we get time,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: But first let's talk about the new hero Hero new Hero?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Oh new Oh? Is this before? Oh? This must just before,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: but we get soul and halluah the new Hero. This
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: is the Bravos hero. When you pass first stop taking
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: turns before the other player, I gain one quest counter.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Then if I have three or more quest counters, create
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: a Hallula Lua to to two token in your Companion's expedition.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: It's a Leviathan companion token with If your hero has
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: five or more quest counters, I gain gigantic? Is this
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: playing a little bit? Are we? Are we crossing the streams?
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Here?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Feels a little bit like it?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: No what what stream? Are we crossing?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Streams? Gigantic for me right feels more uh more green
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: than than red? Mm hmm yeah.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I think it's more commonly you in Mona maybe, but
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Atlas is in Bravos just you don't see Bravos very often.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: But the big new heavy hitter, the Hunger.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: The Hunger my my personal favorite card besides the Penguin.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: When it has leading, it's gigantic.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I don't know, just I don't like that
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: guy very much. He makes me mad. The Hunger has
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: hurt me far too many times.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: As it should as it should, it should hurt you.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: And the eat me energy bar, which makes things gigantic,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: is probably most used in Bravos.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, but new heroes? Guys, what set is this for?
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Yes? Oh yeah, set four?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Now, so we were right, Well, I guess we weren't
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: right like we were told Set.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: For they told us, Yeah, so.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Set for Well, they said, set for ward be the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: first time we might see new heroes.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Am I wrong on that one? And sure enough, here's
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: a new hero. But I think we're getting a lot
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: of new heroes. I don't know. This art feels very
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: new hero if you ask me.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Yep, So, as it says here in the article, six
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: new heroes are joining the adventure, stepping up to lead
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: the expeditions for each faction, discover exciting new hero powers
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: that open up new ways to play, and introduce never
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: before seen mechanics. Now in this article you will see
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: all the new heroes.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: We just don't know what they do. We don't names yet.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Right, So my guess is we've got a kid with
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: a paintbrush and his companion's going to be a fish. Yep,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: is that supposed to be? It's like a cart right,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: like a Japanese cart.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: That's a paper koi.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I believe paper koi koi fish. Okay, I'm going to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: guess that's Lyra there.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, it looks like a little Lyra kid.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: We can see Soul in the background right with Muna
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: coming in the I'm sorry, Halluah coming up obviously bravos.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Heluah is a Leviathan, so Helluah is massive as you
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: can see, Manta.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Ray Manna Ray. And then we've got some we don't know, right,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I can only guess that this person with the wings,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess that's gonna be yeah, because my guess
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: is the goose. I'm guessing that's got to be a goose, right,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I want to say duck, but that's definitely not a duck.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: That has to be the Ortis's pet, right.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Right, the companion, that's got to be the comparion.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: So we went we went over this there.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: No, I know, I just like calling them beds.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Right, No oh yeah.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: What I really actually like about the Ortist hero though,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: is if you zoom in and look at the wings, Yeah,
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: they're all made out of papers.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: So yeah, oh okay, that a little on theme there,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I dig it.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a nasty little bureaucrat there, of course.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: But then we've got three that I'm having a little
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: harder time distinguishing. We've got one down here, and I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: can only imagine, and oh my gosh, I might play muna.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: If that is a flying sheep.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: I believe it's basically a flying sheep, but more so.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: A flying sheep.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: See, no, sheeps and rams aren't the same thing. But
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that is that if that's a flying sheep, Muna here,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I it does look like a to me.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's I think it's a cloud ram.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, it's got the curly horns.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: They almost had me almost nice try equinox okay, but
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: then we got two other ones. We've got I don't
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: know what this one is. This one is this going
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to be axiom writing? The the only way I can
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: describe it as a golum.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that one's the only one that.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Off the bat doesn't look like through and through the
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: faction based on colors and stuff.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: But the fact that it's.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: A cape that's kind of how I well, I actually know.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: If I say, you got the brown cape, that's how
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I came to that conclusion, and to be honest with you,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that's not at all how I came to that conclusion.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I'm lying to everyone because I can see the the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: person here with the spiky caterpillar that's purple, so that's
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: clearly yeah, it clearly is mere. And then then I'm
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the only one that's left, right, that's the only one
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: that's left. So by process of elimination, I figured it out.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know. These whale things in the background are
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: way there's only one. The whale thing in the background
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: is kind of cool. I don't know if that's anyone's
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: companion though.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: The one that looks like a rock.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the one that's in the rocks, yep, see it
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: back there. It's like doing a bad Yeah, it's behind halluah.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Was kind of looking at and trying to see what
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: that is.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I think it would just be. It looks like a
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: oh my god, just.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: The random Leviathan running around.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: It looks kind of different from Wow, what is the
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: the current whale?
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: I forgot its name.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Oh it's not played like ever. I can't remember either.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I don't remember its name.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I all that's super cool. I dig that
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: it's the only one that isn't a companion of some sort.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: So I have to imagine just with Equinox and how
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: they are. I have to imagine, my goodness, coffe attack
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: come out of nowhere. I have to imagine that that
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: are that that kaibara. I have to imagine that that
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: sky whale has to be some thing important within the story.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: That definitely does look like a kaibara, that's its name,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: but it's a little more like Rocky than the one
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: we have seen before.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think it is because even the wing I'm
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: sorry that the flippers are a little more feathery.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's an interesting one. It looks almost like kaibara,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: but then it doesn't have horns either, And it could
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: be just you know, it's a background piece of the art, so.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: And it just could be a change between artists too, right, Like, yeah,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: when you change artists, their interpretation is not always the
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: same as everybody else's. But this is absolutely I mean this,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: this whole thing is absolutely gorgeous. I'm kinda I wanted
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: a dark set. I don't feel like I got that
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: from the maze, right, But it's nice to have like
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: this nice, like kind of vibrant, vibrant set. Again, I
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: feel like I feel like we went into really dull
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: tone grays for a little bit.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if you go by the story, we've had two
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: very harsh and like constrictive and scary sets and this
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: one seems more hopeful and upbeat.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: But we don't know what will happen in the story.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: So we don't. But do we have did everybody die
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: in the Maze? Do we know?
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's been confirmed in No, but.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Nobody's gotten the acts huh.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Not anyone important?
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: At least plenty of people have died in the City
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: of Scholars, I'm sure, and whatever the heck happened there.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: And there's still a lot of missing people. I mean
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: in Ruin is still missing the.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: First But no hero is right like, no heroes, no, no,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: no heroes, no major heroes have gotten the acts yet.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I think the closest one to dying is technically Lindaway.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Is Lindaway is not dead.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Though, No, but Lindaway and Ma's relationship is unique, uh
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: from all the other hero and companions. They're like the
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: only one that they haven't done the ritual to, like
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: bond and are.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Super happy go friendly.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: It's more like mas like feeding off of Lindaway but
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: also providing her site.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: So but yeah, slowly killing her man.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I need to read some of this story. This story
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: is nuts.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: That's pretty interesting.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I should go start reading it. But all right, so
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: you said, next thing up, you said Geni's mentioned further
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: support for the play style within the set question mark.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: So if you read Soul's hero Ability, you'll notice it
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: has that you pass first and you get a quest
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: counter and YadA YadA. So they mentioned that there will
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: be more ways to influence that possibly, and right now,
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: at least from what I know off the top of
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: my head, the only card, or there's two cards. There's
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Bug Fix and the Enhanced Prototype.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: They're the only.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Cards that can influence hero counters. I'm not sure that
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: they'll introduce a card that can interact with all hero
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: counters by like adding them.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Who else can make counters? So Trace, Trace and Soul.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Yep, and the body.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you could.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Give a ROC counters it would.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Uh y might get busted if you can put kind
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: a way to put them on there at the expense
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: of not not having to do what the card says.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because right now you can only remove them from
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: a hero.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you more of these heroes are going to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: have things like counterabilities.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, possibly if it's if.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: It's a set that's heavily focused on it, like these heroes.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: What other of these heroes? We haven't seen any which
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: one which other ones will get town? Right?
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: Like, well, right now, Trace is really the only one.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: Traced and arac are the only ones right.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Now, right.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: That get that get counters.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: That, Yeah, that gain counters on the hero.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Well technically Outsaudi.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, out Saudi does too.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but yeah, I think we would definitely be seeing more.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure that every faction would have one, but
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: this one seems like an interesting ability.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Well just yeah, Equinox have come to learn? Right does
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: it often doesn't say something without like a meaning or purpose,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: right like and when they say something like that, that
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: kind of is a quote on quote I guess hint, right,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: they're kind of like coal but on like super sayan level,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: right like they'll give you like these weird little hints,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: right and then like it mean like it has this
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: deeper meaning, right like it's going to be fote When
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: they say that there's gonna be you know, support for
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the play style will be within the set. Well, I'm
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: assuming that means that's kind of where the set is
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: going to be leaning towards.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: M hmm.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: No, okay, I mean that's.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe I agree, I think fast.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he does know already.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: I think the.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Safest bet is that there will be manipulation with quest counters,
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: I would assume, and maybe quest counters are on more
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: than just soul, and I think that's how you balance
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: it because our X counters, our performance counters, traces, our
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: scrap and uh, I actually don't even know what saudis
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: are called.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Because for so long heroism heroism counters.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, for so long he was nothing and surprisingly now
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: he is something.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: So m.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Top eight and pairs.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: No, but he's been forming a lot, a lot better
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: than the But.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: But this as you're talking about Sai.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but one of the other things about this art
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: that is very interesting that person wearing purple writing a
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: horned caterpillar of some sort.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: People are.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Thinking that it is the Yazmir moth breeder, and they
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: think that this will be one of the first times
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: that you'll see like a character.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: A character become a hero exactly cool. I don't think
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: that we can know that it's the y Ismir moth breeder.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: That seems like, wow, far fetched.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Why that's that's that's killer, right, so that would make
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: sense that a cat killer far fetched. I don't think
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: it's crazy.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it could be a use mere moth breeder.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because your moth breeders a very broad brush, right, like, yeah,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: how many of those are there? Maybe are more than
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: one of them? Who knows? Right?
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: And the is different.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: This could be Jill, the special one with a cool backstory,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: you know, take your pick of what you want to
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: name him and or her. You know, it's just it
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: is a one that has maybe linked and with with
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: their caterpillar. Yeah, kind of kind of interesting to the sound. Okay,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: it means new token and new carri token.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so the token lady is not me. The real
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: one is already were.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Not according to the person at gen Con. Where was
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: that where it was like, oh you're the token person, yeah, Pa,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: that's where it was.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, So she's working on a halluah token already,
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: and I believe the full thing will be revealed at
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: gen conm Yeah.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: And I find this you know, I don't play Muna.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Muna gets a token. I'm sorry. I was like when
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I read that, I was like, Muna doesn't have a token,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: and I had to go, that's what That's what Cole's
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: saying here. Muna's getting a token.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: It has two question marks. It's people, it does.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: People are contemplating that.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I love. I was like, Muna doesn't have a token,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and I went looking, I'm like, doesn't have a token.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: The dragon token technically, but yeah, everyone everyone.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Has a dragon.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Everyone gets a dragon token. That's not that's not the same.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: I I guess it is actually technically not a question
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Muna does get a token eventually, because at packs Justin
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: was like, I will tell you what the first Muna
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: token will be if you can guess what like creature
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: or animal it is, and he's like, I can give
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: you all weekend and you'll still not guess. So it's
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: not a could it could not be in this set.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: But we know that there will be a Muna token
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: eventually eventually.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, okay, but people are thinking that this is set.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: A lot of first so you know, why not? Why not? Yep?
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Spoiler season coming soon. More news coming at the end
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: of July or beginning of July or no, that would
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: be the beginning of August. Never mind gen Con. Likely
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: are they doing like A, my dates are all messed
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: up right now, Like I'm like, oh man, I can't believe,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: like we're almost at the end, like where we are
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: in this year. It's just like this year is flown by,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Like it literally feels like we just got out of
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Christmas season not too long ago, and it's like, man,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: we're we're we're past midyear already. It's crazy to think about,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: like this year has just really blown through and it's nuts.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: But where was I in the show notes? Uh? Do
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: they are they gonna do a like a like a
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: like a press conference, a Q and A. I guess
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: like like key Forge will do. They'll have their GIGI
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: will have their like an FFG does is too, or
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: they do their like year in review and where things
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: are headed for the company, like they're I don't really know.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: It's the state of the Union type address type deal.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think they'll have something that.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Big and official, but I'm sure there will be some
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: sort of live stream from gen Con. But there's also
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: going to be oversized cards like they usually do, and
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: then maybe some teasers and things like that at the event.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: Loki's already mentioned putting a couple sky bound cards into
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: the Boss deck nice which usual for every convention that
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: altered is that so there will be some stuff coming
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: out around around then, and then sometimes they drop another
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: article during the convention that has more news as well.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I think they should do a live stream with some news.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: It'd be cool, but that's on them. I can't tell
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: them what to do. All right, let's talk about the
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: the WCQ that went down in France. Yeah, probably the
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: bit does France get too?
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: No?
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: I got too kind of sort of?
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: So how the set up in France is this tournament
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: had the capacity for one thousand and twenty four players.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: And how many came for the main event?
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Six hundred and sixty players?
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Partases a lot of people, all right, Yeah.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: They had side events, so I'm not sure how many
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: people attended the whole thing.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: And maybe just didn't want to, you know, be super sweaty.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: But they had this one big event that the top
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: four all got a spot in Worlds.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: And then technically, also in France, is the Last Chance Qualifier.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay, So that's what you're including in the technical technicality.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think eight. I think eight people can
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: qualify for that. But it is in France and it's
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: the day before Worlds.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, so they're doing it kind of like a lot
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: of how a lot of places are doing a lot
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: of games are doing it where it's kind of more
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: like a convent, I guess, mini convention where it's you
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: can do this and do that and kind of choose
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: how you want to play, which is cool. Top eight
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Looking at the top eight, how what do we got here?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: We got one two? I just want to count these
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: one two to a finance's right. Let just make sure
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I'm counting that right, yep. To Afanas's two, Siggi's two,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Novena no one Novenka or to one Avenka one traced yep, Okay,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I'm counting them. It's a lot to look at and a.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Lot of different ones, which is a great news.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Say that's a crazy spread. I'm I'm solely hot, kind
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: of disappointed because I never thought of Novenka would be
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: in the top, but there it is. I'm really holding
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: one of those players that was like, I'm gonna ruin
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: somebody's day and ruined a whole lot of people's day
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: with ran right randomly and just fess that' stopped that
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: put the put the brakes on it.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a definite couple Lokis played during that.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: But yes, Sparky is one of the top four qualified
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: for Worlds off of that tournament and was running Novenka
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: with three unique Lokis. So if you're if you're not
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: super heavy into the meta for a bit, it became
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: very Loki heavy for Lyra and Muna to help counter
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: the Hunger and uh. It worked out for Sparky on
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Novenka to get to the top four, and the only
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: Muna player that made it to the top thirty two, Earleiya,
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: was also on a Loki deck with.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Tasia, I would say, kind of crazy. The only two
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: factions to not be represented in the top eight are
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Bravos and Muna.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Well, but Sira was in top eight.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, Bassra was in top eight. Yep, never mind, it's
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: just Muna.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, which is not surprising if you've been playing the meta.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: No, it's it's very very rough out here for Muna
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: right now. So the Hunger license withdrawal duel of Grit
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: and just a lot of other heroes becoming very strong
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: has made it very very hard for Muna to keep up.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: And these results also kind of mirror.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: The still artists hanging around. Huh.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well they're one of the factions that has license withdrawal, so.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, fair enough, but totally awesome to see
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: almost all factions represented, right, Like, that's usually the sign
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: of a good a good night meta right when you
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: have at least one hero from each faction. The ability
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: to represent in a top eight of something as big
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: as a w CQ, right like, that's that's that's super
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: super impressive and super cool for a team like Equinox,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: like a kind of a small team like Equinox doing
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: this card game first, being able to kind of manage that,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: that's that's super nifty. I dig it.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was pretty good. There were some really good matches.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: We are reading the news article that's the w c
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Q Lele France results, and.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Lee, I was gonna say, Lily.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Scroll to the bottom.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: You can watch some of the coverage of the event,
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: and they they they did a very good job with
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: what games they picked to put on the broadcast tables.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: It was very cool. A lot of good matchups, a
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: lot of good matches.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Man, I feel like I almost like I need to
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: play more altered, right I need?
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Probably really do. No, I definitely do. Like I'm I'm
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I am maybe a once a week one game here
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: or there, playing right now, you know, just screwing around.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Should I should play more key forging cut in the mustard? Yeah,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: maybe coming to play a little more altered. Not only that,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Like I remember a time where we're all like Axiom,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: we'k gonna do nothing, and now it must have been
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: what was it? The maze was the maze? It was
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: the maze what made them good? No, so something in there.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: I think it's just another thing that adds to my
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: theory of when something has changed in.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Like a meta.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Or a deck, everyone just kind of throws the deck
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: away and doesn't work to figure it out. And we
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: saw that with Axiom and Tracet when they changed Haven,
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: everyone just like completely threw Traced away. But there's basically
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: been a group of players over around Europe, in France
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: some other countries that got together to make like an
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Axiom specific playgroup and test group. Going into the event,
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: people thought that it was going to be the bug
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Fix loop Traced and like, oh yeah, they're just abusing
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: uniques and this interaction with bug Fix.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: But no, both.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: Traces in the top sixteen were just very classic Traced
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: decks working around, you know, what they had access to.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: I would say the biggest thing that Whispers probably gave
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: them was the grims.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Well, other than that, it's.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: Just really just people decided to go back to traced
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: and realize that even without the superbusted.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Haven trace can still be good.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: And I mean you still have a Frost delivery from
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: Trial by Frost too, that helps it out.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: So I think Haven was banned before Trial by Frost.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: It was right after Packs unplugged, so yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: but yeah it's been The top top lists were just
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: very classic tracete lists with maybe specialized uniques.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I think are the lists on thirty nine cards I.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Didn't look Yeah, yeah, yeah there, let's say.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: I should go poke around. I have been so key
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Forge heavy going into Baltimore because a new set for
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: key Forge is released and that was that was what
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: sealed was. So it was like, oh, so it's like,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: you know, one thing and then they're like, yeah, we're
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: gonna change it all. So I've been so heavy, like
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I've I've really even with May's I've kind of lost
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: what was going on altered, which is kind of sad,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: but I kind of I kind of lost my focus.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe I maybe I should go ahead and flip it
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: and reverse it and play a little play a little
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: more altered and a little less key forge.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: We'll see, get your get your missy Elliot on.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: You know, I'll get my Missy Elliot on right, flip it,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: reverse it right, Like It's just I got so focused
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: because it's Vault Tour season and I actually got the
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: opportunity to go to more than one Vault Tour and
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: it was just, like I said, super super duper focused
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: and lot lost. Get got tunnel vision, that's the word
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for. It happens to all of us. So yeah,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: gen CON's coming up though for you guys, right, you
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: guys will all well, Cole and Dexter, you'll be there, right,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Felix will be there, but not for Altered, right.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: No, Felix will be there for Altered this time.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: He'll be there for Altered. Okay.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: We also managed to just as of today, snag Andrew
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: for Team Altered as well. He was a late sign
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: up and so got placed kind of just in a
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: general board game demo position. But someone that got placed
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: on Team Altered, uh backed out, so we were able
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: to snag Andrew over. So yeah, it'll be basically everyone
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: we know on Team Altered, and then a return of
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: two others that were there last year at gen Kong
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: but kind of moved more over to lor Kana between
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: then and now. But yeah, gen Con will be dope.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: They I believe the first time, like almost anywhere are
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: doing a mixed booster draft.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's pretty cool.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: We tested it out online, I think a week ago,
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: just with a group of people, and it was pretty fun.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: We were kind of debating, you know, what the perfect
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: pack mix is in what order to open?
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So for gen Con, I think I can.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: I think I have it in my history so I
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: can pull it up real quick. I think it's two
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: to one one, which makes sense because Whispers is the
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: new New. So yeah, it's one pack of Beyond the Gates,
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: one pack of Child by Frost, and two packs of
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: Whispers of the Maze.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: I totally thought it was gonna be the other way around,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: not gonna lie to you.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: I thought it was just a bigger set.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I thought two packs from Beyond the Gates,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: one pack of Frost, one pack of Whispers.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: If you if you wanted to have a more competitively
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: viable deck or something in that regard, you'd probably go
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: that amount. But with Whispers being the most recent set
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: and kind of the theme of gen Con.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: It makes want more of it. Fair enough, Yeah, fair enough.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: I got to do what the people like, right, Yes,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: all right, Dallas l Dallas w CQ is coming up?
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Where is that one being held out?
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Well, funny you should ask, because it's not in Dallas.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's close to Dallas. It's just easier to
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: call it Dallas.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, it's it's that thing that you know, big
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: cities kind of just take.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like I live in Milwaukee, but I don't, right,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: so I live outside of Milwaukee, but nobody knows that
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: the town I live in, so I just say Milwaukee.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's technically in Grapevine, Texas. But the really good
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: news for people flying in is it's actually really close
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: to the DFW airport, so you could take an uber
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: from the airport and it wouldn't even be that expensive.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: If you really wanted, you could probably ride.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: A bike, but I wouldn't recommend it. It'll be probably
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: a little hot.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: But yeah.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: It's at the gay Lord, Texan Resort and Convention Center,
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: and I actually have it's not a store, no, no too,
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: It's at Quake Con.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: So it's Quake Con. Man. I have really been out
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: of it because yeah, that's at Quake Con. It's at
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: wherever in the world I was just at, which is
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: a really super cool store. Where was I not Gift
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: of Games, Games and stuff, Games and stuff. Yeah, really awesome,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: cool store. I mean, I don't know how many people
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: they're expecting. There tons of room, tons tons of room,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: and it's kind of cool. Like they have like their
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys are well you're not going,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: but I don't know if they're going to plan on
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: streaming it, but like they have like their own side
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: room for the comment if you're having commentators and whatnot. Right,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Like I commentated key Forge this weekend and I was like,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: in this side room if you plan on commentating, burg
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: a sweater. It's cold in that room. It's very cold
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: in that room, but super cool place, lots lots and
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: lots of cool stuff, Like I just poking around in
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: there for the hours, or I did. Super cool place.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: And I think, like I said, I'm not sure if
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: it's the owner, if he's the manager, who he is,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: super cool guy. He eats circus peanuts, which is the
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: first time I've ever seen anyone eat circus peanuts.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: Willingly interesting got to say, I don't think I've seen
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: anyone just casually I lunching on them lunch.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I got circus peanuts, right, I just kind of looked
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: at those.
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: What do you mean like circus peanuts? Like there's peanuts
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: you get like a ball arc that are like are like.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: The like peanuts, like the candy peanuts. Do you not
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: know what we're talking about? Like the big orange peanuts? Yeah,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: you really have no idea what these are?
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Those look awful, not anything.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: Kind of might as well be they're really not that bad,
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: but I wouldn't just you know.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Like, I've never seen somebody like Willingly eat them. And
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: he's just over there eating them, like those circus peanuts.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: It's like, kell, yeah, you want one. I was like, no, no,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: I'm good, But I've just never seen anybody willingly put
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: one of those in their mouth and that it's right.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: So craziness. But Dallas W c Q Cole, you're going,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Simon is going blue? Hg Ace. Who's the HGA.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: Squad Heroes guide to a Gartha? Yeah, because they picked
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: too long of a and wordy of a name.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: I did not put all that together. A q z
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: n A Yeah, so Arizona.

  Speaker 4: actually don't know one if Felix is going, but I
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: remember Dexter's staying.

  Speaker 1: They'll they'll be signing autographs. Yep, you gotta sign autographs now,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Dexter me. Yeah, I'm just kidding. No one's probably gonna
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: ask for your autograph. I can't say that because I've
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: like when I first started doing podcasting and whatnot, like
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: I was just like yep, like you just like you don't.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: You don't realize people listen to their like I listened
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: to you, can you sign this, and you're like, oh sure,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: kind of surreal feeling.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: I have signed a thing or two.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: It's it's more usually about like the community, like oh, hey,
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: we're all here, we're all playing altered.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: And yeah, but well we'll be there.
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: There will be a broadcast. I don't know about Baltimore yet.
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: I am trying to.

• 45:11
  Speaker 1: all h Cole will be my July thirtieth until August eleventh.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? Where are you going? It's the
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: end of an era? The podcast over.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll be at gen Con and then I will
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: be going.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: I will also be out of town that whole time.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: So I guess we're not having a podcast those weeks.
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: Huh, Yeah, because I would literally just see me talking
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: now that because Felix is going with you guys to
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: gen Con.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Felix I kind of imagine Felix is going to the
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Dallas w CQ. Now I I think so, I just
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's like right in your back yet. Well, no, he's.
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: Not going to Dallas. I remember, I have a flashback.
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: His in laws decided to go.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: On definitely won't be on the show too.
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, his in laws was decided to go on some
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: long trip last minute and leave them with all the
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: farm animals to take.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Care of or something like that.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Oh that's really nice.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Definitely definitely won't be able to make a podcast. Yeah,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: I guess those weeks we just don't have a show.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: That's it. We'll come back after everything and kind of
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: get it all together.
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there is potential for one if we do it
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: not on a Friday, Like, if we do it Wednesday
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: or Thursday, the sixth or the seventh, we'll talk more.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, well we'll figure something out.
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: We can.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: We could fit this in somehow someway. Otherwise we just
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: have so much more to talk about when we come
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: back true facts, because we'll have a ball Well what
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: gen Con to talk about? We'll have a Dallas w
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: c Q to talk about. Oh man, the.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Possible try the one in between Con and Dallas.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: We'll figure we'll figure something out. Running a little short
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: on time here, we were going to go to the
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: lore for the bassist, but let's move into the Patreon question.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: What do you guys say you want to go over
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: the lore? We will, we will calm down. What you
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: need your bedtime story? Yeah, you need your you need
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: your night night story.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: It is a short one.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: It is all right, all right, let me open the article.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: I was just going to move into the Patreon question
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: because we went longer than I thought we were going
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: to go. I don't know why, because we you want
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: you want to read it, or you want me to
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: do it. I'll do it.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: I can read it if you do.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Like the bassist, this is one of one of my
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: one of my more favorite members of the band. So
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: three nine three What does AC stand for in Altered
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: History Lore.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: After Cataclysm?
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Basically, his agile fingers dance easily over the strings as
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: he choose on a route that no one else finds
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: appetizing at all. He and crowbar jab and curse at
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: one another, but I know it's just a game, just
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: for show. I had some misgivings at first about bringing
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: another Chimerra into the group, especially one with a habit
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: of picking lice off himself in public, but seeing them
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: interact convinced me it was the right move. Obviously, that
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: meant we had to deal with his moods and whims
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: going forward. But what I've learned was that if the
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: group starts to play, Buona wasn't the type to miss
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: out on the action. No matter how he was feeling,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: whether he had a profound lack of motivation or was
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: on some eccentric flight of fancy, he always ended up
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: grabbing his base and joining in. The temptation was always
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: too strong. Just we just had to adapt the set
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: list to his erratic behaviors and always leave ourselves a
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: little margin for air. Very few chimeras were permitted to
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: roam free, and among those who are allowed to move
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: around as Gartha, many of them would wind up with
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: the Lyra, and Buna had found work with the circus.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: Even now, I don't know exactly when and how he appeared,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: or whether his punk chimpanzee look really if it reflects
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: who he is. But he is in a chimera nature
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: to be extremely variable. Ultimately, I don't think his current
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: appearance really bothers him, or in any case, he's never
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: gotten mad about the simian look we've given him through
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: our combined memories. That's true for many chimera too. Actually,
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Crowbar is just a stage outfit that he puts on
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: when she feels like it, and maybe one day she'll
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: ask to change it. When it turns to me and
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: gives me a big toothy smile to let him know
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: he's ready to continue. All right, breakover. I'm confused, call,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe I need to read more? Right, what is that?
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: What does I don't understand? I I will I don't
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: know much about the race.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: I will be the first to admit.
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: That I have trouble not getting some of the terms
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: mixed up. There's like cameras, there's idols, there's lev Leviathans
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: are pretty pretty straightforward for the most part.
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: They're huge.
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: But I don't know off the top of my head
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: the difference between like a chimera and an idol.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: On so you think cro.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: Crowbar would be an idoln I'm pretty sure.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: And idlenes mesh with the humans. I guess it doesn't
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: have to be human with a hero, Yeah, with a hero, right.
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think there's probably actually a quick description
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: on the wiki.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: And then and then what does does the hero give
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: the appearance to the idolon?
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: So chimeras are living beings that have become accustomed to
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: living within the tumult, constantly mutating as a result, they
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: are hybrid creatures. Okay, that makes sense. That's like that
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: goes way back to what a chimera is.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: When a chimera emerges from the tumult, its appearance settles
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: into one form until it returns to it. Some are peaceful,
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: others hostile to humans, but all have required the ability
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: to absorb man to sustain themselves. So I think that's
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: maybe part of why I get it mixed up a
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: lot is some idol ons are kind. There is is
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: what I would guess, basically just something that popped out
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: of the tumult and can be all sorts of preachers.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Be whatever you want it to be, kind all right,
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: Patreon coming from pronounce us end or vine. I always.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: I realized, I've never asked him if that's correct?
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Indoor end or vine could I see end or being
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Star Wars? And then yeah, vine Bean, do you think
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: we will have a community card like a Kurakami again
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: this set? If so, what would it be? Not sure?
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: If this has been asked? A ready? Okay, it has it?
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Something tells me that a new question?
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: Yep, yep.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: So I I picked this one because I actually know
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: the answer.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Can you tell us the answer?
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: No, I can tell you yes, but I I absolutely
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: do not know what it will be. And I actually
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: learned this listening to the Loki Knocks.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: Episode of Hero's Guide to as Gartha.
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: And then I immediately gave Loki ship for having such
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: a terrible mic that it was hard to follow along.
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: But the Masubi program that they started back before the
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: game came out, and they picked like a couple different
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: people in the community based on, you know, being cosplayers
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: or community builders.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: YadA, YadA.
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: I guess they have been working on a card and
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: that will come out in October possibly and will be
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: gifted to everyone's account like the Karakomi uh kiaro Kami
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: my bad. And then I don't know if there will
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: be another one for.
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: The upcoming Tumult.
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: Well, I assume they'll have one for everyone, do some
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: cool event that's community building that affects the storyline that
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: introduces a new character. I think that was great that
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: they did it for Trial by Frost with the Kroro Kami,
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: and that they'll probably do it again, maybe not every set, but.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: Every maybe like every cycle or every year. Yeah cycle. Right,
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: this feels like a new cycle.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: With Yeah, with this new set introducing new heroes.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, feels like I said, this feels like a new cycle.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Like back in the day, Magic had blocks, right, Pokemon
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: has you know everything? You know, they got what pearl
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: and now they're they've moved into I guess they moved
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: into black and white. I'm not sure really how Pokemon
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: does it. I know they kind of have like blocks too.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: I thought they did black and white already, but maybe
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: they didn't. I don't know. But this feels. This feels
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: new and fresh and like there's a new cycle and
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be new new heroes. Means that possibilities for
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: some older cards that maybe we didn't look at before
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: have the possibility of like popping up and all of
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: a sudden becoming good again, you know, getting getting a
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: second life. So that could just be me, but I
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: think they will.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, I think that's all possible in regards.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: And by think by and I think actually Cole just said, yeah,
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: they're going to do it again. So I don't know why,
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: totally think I couldn't and Cole's just like I just
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: told you morons, Yes they're going to.
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we should hear more news about the when the
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: tumults are because the date's kind of been up in
• 56:12
