1:30
like, yeah, the busy, we gotta we gotta stuff to talk
1:34
about. But but there's something more important to talk about. So we have
1:37

1:40
but and we have the elf from the south southerly health. Ahoy,
1:47

1:56
Yeah, heartburn, we got heartburn, upset, stomach, indigest in,
2:00

2:10
extra cris burrels around. So tons of stuff to go over today. Game
2:15
found come came out today. We will go over the head. But first
2:19
we need to talk about doctor Sheep's dominance, Like that allation at the Canadian
2:25
National Did you do to the Canadians? What happened? He went up and
2:30
made Canadians cry? No crying? Well, I don't think there. You
2:37
don't know that that's right now? Jam talked so much trash at me I
2:44
showed up to play, and well, then I played, and and what
2:49
I won the worst storyteller ever? And then I won the other event.
2:53
It was a it was a good weekend. Like the store was amazing,
3:00
definitely one of the best game stores that I have ever played at. The
3:05
staff there was amazing. Their manager Emma even made little wood metal things that
3:13
as prizes for Top four as well. The judges, Jason and Sean and
3:17
Evil Twin Jason all did amazing jobs doing their parts. It's just the event
3:24
was run super smooth. It was really clean. There was no confusion about
3:29
what was going on, just I don't know. It was definitely one of
3:37
the best, best run, like regional level events I've ever been at.
3:43
Yeah, awesome, and so you won you went ARCon and that other event
3:49
I did, And like I was, it was real tough deciding what to
3:52
do going into Alliance Day because I did well on arkon Day one, Archive
3:55
Day, so I have the I have my World's invite, got everything I
4:00
wanted, and then what do I do on Allion's Day? And here is
4:03
what really triggered it is June was there. She is she was carrying one
4:11
of the TTR belts. With Becky and and I took the TTR Belt with
4:15
fraud. But the rules of the belt, the TTR belt goes with the
4:20
deck. So if I was to have played Alliance with fraud, I had
4:26
to risk the TTR belt. And although I believe in fraud, Alliance is
4:31
is an interesting thing and I didn't want to risk the belt. So I
4:35
said, well, I built the Alliance deck, so I'm going to play
4:39
it. And you won and it high rolled, high rolled nicely, in
4:44
high rolled for how many rounds was it? Obviously it wasn't there but all
4:49
of them? Yeah, So for for theirs, it was twenty seven players,
4:59
so three rounds and you were in the top cut. This did not
5:02
get the magical cut, the top four treatment. Mm hm. So it
5:12
was three rounds. Then I was in the top eight, and then I
5:15
won three more games with it, and that's all. So you're getting two
5:18
travel stipends in right? Uh? Indeed, I am not. So sheep?
5:26
Are you flying around the country to pick us all up the party bus?
5:30
Oh? Why didn't we think of that? We could have done a
5:33
party bus. We could have all met in Milwaukee, party busted up to
5:36
Minnesota. I mean, he's gonna drive that around because it's gonna start in
5:43
Milwaukee. It's gonna go all gasses right now or again, and then it's
5:48
gonna swing down to Texas. Then it's gonna go to the East coast,
5:53
and then it'll go back west to Minnesota. Perfect take a flight for the
5:57
party bus. I'll be there. Unfortunately, Sheep, what was the what
6:00
were the stipulations? See, they always get you in the stipulation. Yeah,
6:04
damn, damn those those rules they have. So it is you can
6:11
it's flight and hotel only, no party bus. It was the saddest news.
6:17
I heards like a tour like the sheep tour bus. It has to
6:28
fly. I mean, what if you just get like a like a big
6:30
helicopter and fly that around. I don't know if that's how helicopters work dress
6:34
Co. I mean they fly, they do fly. I don't know if
6:41
big is necessarily in a helicopter's resume. There's some big helicopters. Well,
6:46
you guys are missing because we do have a party bus that is going up
6:48
there. Because everyone and their brother is going into the mobile. We have
6:53
a walk wagon. That's right, man, We have a walk wagon,
6:57
not a part I don't know if i'd call that a bush. I don't
7:00
know. What I saw posted was definitely party bus. Well, there will
7:03
be a party to be had, not for you though, for the rest
7:09
of them, because I'm driver, because you're driving. Doctor cheap said something
7:14
about wop That's all I heard, and I was like, I, man,
7:18
are you making said now? This is a serious event coming out.
7:24
There no drinking shenanigans going on. There's nothing going on on Thursday. No,
7:30
we save that for top four cut. Oh so I'm not allowed to
7:33
drink with you guys? Wow, that's rough. I mean, you got
7:39
an LCQ man. I'll tell you that I'll be drinking in the corner by
7:43
myself, like the Wisconsin night I am. We will share, We'll have
7:46
a good time. Honestly, going out and hearing some of the events from
7:51
from Vegas or day LUs it was fun to be able to hang out with
7:55
others and have a beverage or have a meal with others is a good time.
7:58
Who else is the me dryas car? Well, I'm not gonna be
8:03
able to make it on time. I'll play for you because like I have
8:09
to, my flight leaves Budapest. You're gonna be like way over there,
8:16
like six in the morning, and then I have to route through like Amsterdam
8:22
or something. And then I don't land in Minneapolis till like three, and
8:26
then you know, I got to go through customs. You know, all
8:31
those drugs I'm gonna be smuggling. It's gonna be tricky. You know well
8:35
that you announced it way to go to sell yourself, I mean, you
8:41
know KeyForge decks. Yeah, that was pretty exciting. On the way up,
8:48
we took the long way right to Canada. Fourteen hours. I picked
8:52
up Ben in where did I pick him up? Cleveland? And then we
8:56
drove around and went through New York and so, you know, two guys,
9:01
we pull into the station to go into Canada. It's pretty late,
9:07
it's like nine something, and then they start asking questions how do you know
9:09
each other? And they asked us that like three times, like why are
9:13
you coming to Canada. It's been a long time since've been here. They
9:16
just keep giving us weird looks. And then they made us go and park
9:20
out of the side. They searched our cars, they ran us through the
9:22
database. Woh, we got investigated, and then yeah, you are not
9:31
trustworthy. Let's be very honest. Well, I we're both from Wisconsin Chicago,
9:35
and then we're coming through the New York thing. That's a little weird.
9:39
I don't know, like we even when we pulled into the there was
9:43
three lines running and we pulled. We just picked one, and then there
9:48
was a line to the right with a really big motor hoping. Andy're like,
9:50
oh, let's go to that line. It'll be faster. So we
9:52
cut over to that line, and then both other lines like twenty cards go
9:58
through and the and like four cars go through the one we're in, and
10:03
we just knew, we knew we were in trouble. And we got the
10:05
agent who was just like that, Nope, everybody was getting the grill in
10:09
our line. So so they went ahead and and searched you like the Asian
10:13
KeyForge market or Australian customs. No, they just they just looked and then
10:20
asked why I had all this sealed product that I was not clear as anything
10:26
right because I'm like, no, we're not bringing anything to sell because I
10:31
did not sell any Keyfords there. It fell out of my car. I
10:35
don't know what happened to it. They really thought you were going to pay
10:41
your tax in that box. He's like yeah, and then he's got the
10:45
He shows me this boxing expuctations like and the and the agent's talking to us
10:48
and he's like, so, what's this and it's you. I told what
10:52
it is. I like, I like, and it's worth like twelve bucks
10:54
because they were fire sale boxes, so there were twelve bucks. I'm like,
10:58
I could have pulled that up on my phone and proved by receipt that
11:00
that box was twelve dollars. And when I told him, I was like,
11:03
twelve bucks, He's like, whatever he threw in the box, and
11:05
off we went. See. I love Jam's response here. Maybe they got
11:09
a call from someone. I mean, they were set out for you so
11:11
I could see little Canadian mounties. Uh So when we got there, people
11:18
knew who I was, and people definitely knew what fraud was. Multiple people
11:22
had been practicing against fraud up there, Like jam was trying to stack the
11:28
deck against me and it backfired. What did that work? Jam Man actually
11:35
helped to practice against fraud that much? Yeah? Yeah, after JM showed
11:43
me the non Canadian way of things, where you know, they plan against
11:46
you whatever. Jeff and Jeremy were up there and they gave us the Jeff
11:48
and Germany experience, and Jeff took us to this really nice brewery called Daft
11:56
Brewing. Had good sour beers, had some pretty good loggers, nice bar,
12:00
they had a DJ. It's really nice. It's kind of funny.
12:05
Ben was with us, he's our designated driver, and he was playing gonna
12:07
play a new Alliance deck to him, So as we're in the bar,
12:09
he's like, I'm just gonna stay in the car and practice. So he
12:13
just stayed in the car. He had his laptop and he was practicing games
12:16
with his new a line stack right where this is a place called Dath Brewing.
12:20
And then we were there for a while and the journey takes us to
12:22
the next place, which is a place called Barcadia, which is kind of
12:26
a rundown arcade bar. Like all the machines were super old and some of
12:33
them, yeah there, they were pretty beat up. There's definitely a little
12:37
more dive bar in in thing. But they did have all video game themed
12:43
drinks. And then they had a little spin wheel for shots, so we're
12:48
spinning the wheel for some shots. That was good, and then you know,
12:52
we went back home. We slept. We got up the next morning.
12:56
Well, unfortunately we did lose somebody and the barkral there was a main
13:01
down, what I mean, we didn't find that out until the next day
13:05
though, right, Yeah, you were paying that much attention that you well,
13:13
Jeff and Jeremy kept going after the rest of us said we need to
13:16
sleep for our games tomorrow. They kept going. Sydney's plan the whole night
13:22
was anybody who wanted drinks that was playing Alliance the next day, she would
13:24
buy drinks for Sidney. I'll be playing Alliance in Minnesota, just saying yeah.
13:33
So then we we slapped. We got up the next morning, we
13:35
looked there's nothing open for good restaurants or like, we're just gonna walk a
13:39
block and a half from this room we're staying at. We had like an
13:43
airbnb to a local, uh Tim Hortons. And as we're walking, we
13:48
walk half a block, turn right, walk like a another short block.
13:54
There's the Tim Hortons and on our left is Death Brewing. We're literally a
14:00
block and a half from where we were staying. But we did not realize
14:03
it because we're in Canada, we have no idea where anything is. We
14:05
got a guy sitting in the car playing games and said he could have just
14:09
been back, just back in our room, like a block away, but
14:11
you know, because we're dumb and we can't use maps. Instead, he
14:18
sat in the car, in a steamy car while we were all drinking.
14:20
But it was a good time. We had a good time going out with
14:24
the guys. So we got proper treated, treated nicely by proper Canadians.
14:30
Not Jim, not named Jam, not yeah, not name Jam. That
14:33
is right, all right. We got to see Tesca, got to see
14:39
some play. He shared a Spanish Wow deck with me, so I have
14:43
a Spanish Wow deck now again, like just like awesome Canadians, uh,
14:48
not jas. And then there's Jam, who was like, I have never
14:52
had anything nice to say about me being in Canada at all. He's not
14:56
Canadian. He's really an American in this guy, I think you even have
15:01
a playmat saying that you're a true Canadian their sheep. So it's okay,
15:05
that's a true measure. I mean it is so yeah that that kind of
15:11
finishes the awesome parts of Canada. And then Ben and I got in the
15:16
car at six point thirty after finishing the alliance event and drove me straight to
15:22
work. Oh wow, Yeah, and I was to work by eight am
15:26
the next day. How was that experience at work? A wonderful day?
15:33
I don't remember most of it, all the trials of the sheep. But
15:39
he got an invite, so I mean he got too. Not only that,
15:45
he also because he takes first, he's the only person who gets a
15:48
first round by in whatever event he chooses. Which, let's not lie to
15:52
ourselves, it's our cun I will have to see. I mean, I
15:58
got some scholars and they spam. Man, it's like playing library access every
16:03
turn. It's silly. Yeah, just the world. Here's gonna be a
16:07
lot more people that have them scholars maybe maybe not. You don't know,
16:11
but they don't. They don't. They don't have the luck of the Canadians.
16:15
Well but how many people okay, so how many people are? By
16:18
the way, you do need to remember that the civin is not in Canada.
16:22
Yes, that that is another thing I learned. Right, Fraud just
16:27
doesn't play in the States, right, like fraud is an international traveler.
16:32
Canada got it handled wherever dunk Caro was playing it had it handled me and
16:37
the States it's just kind of like, oh, fights, you give it
16:41
to X ray and it just totally gives up. It's just it's not a
16:45
stateside deck. So yeah, in the world. So, uh, we
16:48
we did decide on the way back, the way we're going to solve this
16:52
is we're gonna start one of them campaigns where everybody signs the thing and we're
16:56
just gonna have Minnesota declared part of Canada. And we figured while we were
17:00
doing it, we would have Texas sent to Mexico. So there are two
17:03
more places I could take frod. I think we did. I think Minnesota
17:11
is like Milwaukee is just Chicago north. I think Minnesota is just Canada South.
17:18
I'm pretty sure. I mean, you would have a better shot of
17:22
Minnesota being part of Canada than Texas being part of Mexico. Okay, Mexico
17:26
can be part of Texas. Whatever. You're just not gonna be part of
17:27
the US anymore. It's just it's only for me, man. It's you
17:32
know, nothing against it anything in Texas, just you know, trying to
17:36
prove my aunt. See plenty of people down here think that we're a country
17:41
anyway. So well, I mean, I mean that works too if they
17:45
declare independent as long as it's not the US, right that that works out
17:48
for sheep mm hmm, Yeah, that still counts. Texas is like the
17:52
size of most of Europe, right, I can fit out Texas in Texas.
17:57
Emphasize enough before we move on from the Canadian conquering cheap? How many
18:03
OP games did you lose in Canada? Zero for both events? To be
18:11
clear, Yes, I did not lose an OP game. Very very cool,
18:18
that is. I don't think anyone can say that. Not even Nova
18:21
perfected a single vault that she won. She's always had a loss at some
18:26
point in the go about it. So I didn't track as far as all
18:32
that goes in the internationals. But you're the first, like North American side
18:37
to go undefeated all the way through in a thing? Is he the first
18:44
to win both events at the same place, first win both events at the
18:49
same place, first to go undefeated all the way through in both events or
18:52
either one? Actually, you guys remember our AMA when we had our little
18:56
Ama section. Yeah, you guys there, I feel like building the a
19:04
C resume at this point. I got lucky in Canada. That that is
19:08
for sure. You're a great player. You did well. Well, I
19:12
mean, like I know how to play the game. You didn't. You
19:17
played good lines, you didn't punt. Speaking of punting, hey, Elf,
19:22
you were also in Canada. Just by the way, I want to
19:29
make sure that everybody knows that ELF is a part of Tavern Brawlers, not
19:33
Team Macy. Well no, no, no, I'm clearly on multiple teams.
19:40
The losses were when I was representing Team a C right, the Winds
19:42
was representing Tavern Browers. That let's tell the real story, Elf, When
19:47
you lost to your d T deck, you were wearing a Tavern Brawlers shirt
19:53
if I remember correctly. No, I was actually wearing a C shirt during
19:59
that loss, and then he changed yes shirt down for the next game.
20:07
So if if Drascore is to nine year old playing DT and Southerly, Elf
20:14
is to what like a two year old playing DT, so it must day.
20:23
No. It was honestly like if I had the most perfect draw I
20:26
ever could have had, I still could not have won that game. It
20:30
was like that deck is it can do crazy things, and yeah I got
20:36
beat I got beatped round one okay, so yeah, so turn one we
20:41
got the chosen one down. So none my creatures are ready. Turn two,
20:47
Star Alliance Unity or Discord gets into the discard pile, which is important
20:51
because then what turn three, rooftop laboratory goes down, all scientists coming to
20:56
play ready. Then he gets a p I sweven, so he starts a
20:59
drawing like crazy. I hadn't drawn into any sea by then. And then
21:04
turn four we get hit with Rockter with an upgrade using Unit Deer Discord rule
21:08
of sixing. Brah, that's the enemy of Brilliant the Unbelievable, which is
21:18
actually the name of the deck. Oh hey, would you look that?
21:22
Yeah, thanks for that. This is an eighty five World's Collide. Sorry,
21:27
eighty five T DECKT deck key Yeah, not very many, and it
21:33
has a Mecca booy nice. Yeah, it's pretty good. So we got
21:40
tons more to go over. Obviously, the whole game found campaign was here.
21:44
I don't mean to cut you short, Southerly, but we are half
21:45
an hour in already. Yeah. Let let's go ahead and can do a
21:48
quick little run through from the weekend. So you heard Canada thirty seven total
21:52
players, So again, thank you are Canada. Canada thirty seven playing an
21:56
ARCon for Canada Sheep taking top spot runner up being JDG three fourteen because both
22:04
because JGG qualified before did it go to top four for future Self and Robot.
22:11
It's actually really relaxing going into the top four. I I talked with
22:15
the to to make sure he knew what was going on, because I know
22:18
who was qualified. Both June and JDG were in top eight, so there
22:23
was a good chance that one of them was going to go on. Both
22:26
of them went on, So at that point it was just guaranteed. The
22:30
two other of us that made top four were in, like, it did
22:33
not matter. Once I made it to the top four, I was guaranteed
22:36
an invite. That was a pretty pretty nice way, and then you wanted
22:41
to go in it, and then then I won it. Yeah, so
22:45
future Self taking top four and Rowboat taking top four in Arkhan, and then
22:48
in the Alliance side you can see Sheep playing Woe Alliance runner up being future
22:52
Self. So congrats to June going ahead and taking two of those again,
22:56
runner up and top four. That's awesomely wanted to play Alliance. She's been
23:02
saying she wanted it that world, so now she has that as well.
23:06
Yeah. I think there's a couple of people who now have is it six
23:08
different individuals who have qualified in both Arkon and Alliance, that really says something
23:12
for those players. Six, it's me Dan Arore June had it one of
23:21
the two hammed or armed armed? Yeah? Armed, Yeah, there's the
23:26
six top four after June then for the future self goes to Rogue Ursa and
23:34
then Ben the Monkey. So shout out to Ben man Way to go ahead
23:38
and represent there in top four and there was twenty seven players, so awesome,
23:42
nice showing from Canada, real quick, go ahead. Do we have
23:48
the Italy Vault Tour results? Well, so I was gonna go while you're
23:52
looking for that, I'll do information from Brazil and Chile because we both had
23:57
Brazil and Chili that also went last weekend. And then you had the Italy
24:02
VT which was pretty cool. And yes, I'm fairly certain I can find
24:06
that because I know a couple of them off the ahead for Brazil ARCon going
24:11
ahead and zenbr Then we had our runner up s r M Miliger uh bigger
24:19
s r M, I L A g R and pretty cool and goa man,
24:26
I'm gonna mispronounce this Guardina coming in the top four and meepleas coming in,
24:33
and then Guardina actually took first in Alliance, the runner up being Zen
24:38
and br so you're seeing two of those people go ahead and repeat. And
24:42
then top four for Alliance was deck Knop and then kerkee On so c A
24:48
R E q U E I C h O N. I'm sure I mispronounced
24:52
that. But Brazil had great numbers thirty four for ar Con and twenty seven,
24:56
so I don't know if that just happens to match Canada. Those numbers
25:02
are exact thirty seven, yeah, but very very close, so that's pretty
25:06
cool. And then Chile, oh man, so close, Arkon going ahead
25:11
and having fifteen players, but umin Aaria coming as a champion and then up
25:17
Cacoo as your runner up, and they actually had some nice numbers. They
25:22
had ten. I don't know why we only have the two for Arkan,
25:25
but for Alliance they had ten players, and Cocoat and then Algrillo and then
25:32
Habe Villa for a top of four and then umin Aia for top four.
25:37
So nice to seem some new names in here and to be able to see
25:41
people again continuing to rock it out. So awesome job Brazil, Canada and
25:45
Chile. Hopefully we'll be able to see some more people. I don't see
25:48
it Italy on here. Let me go ahead and do a little talk.
25:53
I got it hidden. So but let's let's move into game five because there's
26:00
a lot, a lot, a lot to unpack for the game found.
26:03
First up, day one, Oh, these are your numbers, Okay,
26:10
so at current I'm gonna scroll back up because I'm gonna give you real time
26:14
numbers. At current, one hundred and eighty four thousand, three hundred and
26:18
sixty three dollars as into the game found, so it is backed at seven
26:23
hundred different backers, so that is fantastic. Average is two sixty two.
26:32
That's off of one eighty four, which is a little We're out a little
26:37
bit more now, so not not going to change too much there. Going
26:41
into the tiers, let's start out with the now everybody notices are like ten
26:47
bucks more or am I it's just me yep. Everything's about two higher from
26:55
the last time. I don't remember what I spent last time. I got
26:57
multiple things last time. So but we're going to start from lowest to highest.
27:03
First up is the Novice of the Crucible. You're gonna get one,
27:07
two player starter set one and two Grim Reminders decks, and Stretch Goal rewards.
27:14
I don't know if are the Stretch goal rewards just what you purchase afterwards.
27:18
I don't know stretch goals. It's what are un locked throughout the course
27:22
of so you do get those. I didn't know if they were because I
27:26
know they had the stretch goals. Well, they had the add ons to
27:29
last time, right, Yeah, add ons are different from the stretch goals,
27:32
but it depends like how much this campaign raises, as how many stretch
27:36
goals, right right right? For seventy five bucks, you can get the
27:41
Seeker of Decks, which is just six decks. Then we jump into the
27:47
Reaper of Ember, and you're gonna notice a lot of the similarities between the
27:51
last ones. You get basically a box of Grim Reminders, a personalized playmat
27:56
which they did switch the artwork on this time around, a Grim Reminders play
28:02
mat, a personalized key Forge, Grim Reminders deck, personalized poster, and
28:07
then the stretch goals. Obviously, now we're getting into the meat and potatoes
28:11
because those are kind of the same. I think the Breaker of Chains might
28:14
be the same as well. From last time to y'all can stop me if
28:18
it is not exactly the same exactly. There was a miniature, and this
28:22
time they've replaced all of the miniatures with a plus. Yeah, all right,
28:27
So with in the poster, although I have no idea what anyone's to
28:32
do with this mini poster, the same thing with a poster hanging on your
28:36
wall, I'm going to hire someone. If I'm playing the deck, They're
28:40
just gonna walk around and stand behind me with this banner poster for each of
28:44
my games. That's right. Therelist, you know, would have been cool
28:52
if they put the deck list on a map. No, no, it
28:56
would be confusing. Why on top cards? Yeah? Yes, yeah,
29:03
roubes get good. All right. So anyways, we got the Awakening key
29:07
Forge decks. You're gonna get three of those, second, personalized Grimm Reminders
29:12
deck, personalized playmat, a flute, plush figurine, key Forge Adventures,
29:19
the Great Hunt. This is one of the things I do want to talk
29:22
about, and we'll kind of circle back around to it. Thirty six Grimm
29:27
Reminders decks, personalized key Forge Grimm Reminder Deck number two, and then a
29:33
third person. You're getting three personalized decks, a poster, a play Matt
29:38
and then obviously the stretch goals. So did you guys see the Great Hunt?
29:48
Yes, not everybody at once, we can all, you know,
29:51
I mean maybe one. Yeah. Well, I don't know if we want
29:53
to dig into spoilers yet, per se, I don't know what. It's
29:57
not really a spoiler, it's already the so obviously we I think, if
30:03
if history has taught us anything at this point, the Skyborn will be the
30:07
next house in whatever set comes next, because that's definitely a sky Shark.
30:15
I do agree with that assertion, so we can get into that in a
30:18
later time. Since nobody seems excited, let's get into the turnament. What
30:23
you're talking about specifically is a adventure. No one hit on this cast is
30:29
excited about an adventure, No, none of Like I'm more excited. Yeah,
30:36
yeah, I think everyone's excited about new houses, no matter like what
30:40
they come with. So yes, new house is always fun, always cool,
30:44
unless it is dt version of fish that is shit. Mm hmm.
30:49
All right, So for the Turner of Keys, you're gonna get six of
30:55
the Awakenings decks. Let's see how many. Personally, I don't like how
30:59
they did it this time. Instead of the bullet points are kind of all
31:02
over because you're getting what one to to personalized. I'll simplify it. The
31:08
Turner of Keys is more decks and it adds on the playmat like the big
31:15
Grimm Reminders playmat thing. And then the Collector set are these thirty six inch
31:18
play mats that Grimm Reminders play mat. I do probably not just saying I
31:29
enjoyed it, clearly, just more decks, and the Collector set is what
31:33
this is. And then the Architect of the Crucible is kind of again it's
31:37
more decks. Well, again we'll simplify it, more decks. This is
31:41
just a total of one and forty four more decks, yes, and then
31:48
the sold out one which we were all too late to even get. Two
31:52
before we got here our Architect of the Crucible only ten were available. The
32:00
did not get one. I am very upset about this. I didn't know
32:06
there was be some like limited time thing. I've been working a lot lately,
32:10
but I literally would have taken off work and risks, whatever the consequences
32:15
would have been to try to get this. Had I known that it was
32:19
even going to potentially be a thing, and I would have I would have
32:22
given them this amount right now, right on the spot. Here's my credit
32:27
card number. Take double? Who cares do? Whatever you did? You
32:30
hear that? Everybody who has one of these double and his body too?
32:35
And his body. Yeah, I've reached out to people. I am now
32:38
aware of three people that have them, so I have made contact. If
32:44
they are willing to negotiate some kind of services, I could provide for them
32:50
whatever they need to be done, I will make it happen. See as
32:54
the highest class key Ford chucker. I don't know about that, but no,
33:00
I like it and which way you want it, but real quick for
33:06
the Crucible and me. They've put a price stag of five hundred dollars,
33:08
so maybe they'll just sell this on the game center. I don't know who
33:12
knows the preview, but yeah, there's only a limited amount of like card
33:16
slots to put in games. That's why, like I agreed with the number,
33:20
I understand the number was ten. Like, I totally get it.
33:23
I wouldn't expect it to be any higher because you can't just put that much
33:27
random art into any game like this. I just wish they I don't know
33:31
if which one of you said it, but like one of you, Well,
33:35
shouldn't they have actually posted what they were, like what the rewards were
33:37
going to be, like six you know, six to ten hours in advance
33:40
or something like. I don't know much about game found I do Kickstarter mainly,
33:45
so I have no idea, but like I know, had I note
33:47
about this, I would have been waiting like the gin con Q waiting like
33:52
refreshed spy do it like I. So it's so pissed today, Sorry so
33:58
zee. That was my statement, and I think it was a missed opportunity.
34:00
I think the additional five hundred to be in game honestly should have been
34:06
more. And I will say that I think that they could have with the
34:09
ten slots. I think ten slots was fine, but I think that it
34:12
should have been more than five hundred. I think it should have been more
34:15
than the two thousand total for that pledge. But I think they missed an
34:19
opportunity to be able to have more individuals excited and drawn into the campaign.
34:24
There's been a lot of feedback lately between Customs for Australia and what's happening in
34:31
Asia, and again some things are out of control in some of the secondhand
34:36
shippers. But yeah, I did actually get more information about the Asia thing,
34:40
and they are not happy that whole community is arranging some kind of like
34:45
boycott for the menders for those who don't know what is going on in Asia.
34:52
So again this is from actually two sources that I have that are they
34:58
have game founds that they ordered. We know that they were supposed to GG
35:05
hired a third party, which is fine, and had that product shipped to
35:09
the third party. Currently, the people that are supposed to receive their Chinese.
35:15
At least this one was Chinese, the other one was too product they
35:19
have, they have no idea where their product is currently, they don't have
35:22
a shipping date for it, they don't have a potential receiving date for it,
35:29
and they have currently not been able to get any information from either GG
35:32
or the third party. And they've gotten multiple emails about like hey, as
35:38
soon as we know, we'll let you know. But like that is their
35:40
situation. Like if you are a game found owner in like the you know
35:45
the that region, you don't know where your ship is and if we're when
35:50
it is coming. So this is a customer adding them they don't know that
35:57
the person the two people I've talked to cannot get an answer from either party
36:04
like original company or third party company. No one is answering them. Well,
36:10
I think I think the real answer is Equoedon is to capitalist, and
36:15
so the government has confiscated shut that shut down the entire the entire set.
36:22
I think that's I think that's what happened. I mean, the honest truth
36:29
is it's just sad when you know other people have it. When you've been
36:32
waiting, you're excited. I don't know how to be able to directify the
36:37
situation. I think the situation in Australia is a little bit easier. It
36:39
just went through customs. Customs did what their standard procedure is in order to
36:44
be able to basically open up a fourth of the packs items that are there,
36:49
but that does impact shipping out. I do think that the comment that
36:53
was stated from the game found campaign was clear, So I give Gigi credit
36:58
in that and that they communicated here where we're at, what's happening Asia,
37:00
we need to clean up and I know that's uh. The GG staff will
37:04
be working on that. I just hope that it gets sooner rather than later,
37:07
because I don't fix that though, that's not a gig issue. I
37:13
mean that the Chinese one. I to be honest with you, I don't
37:17
I don't think that the whole the government took it away. That might be
37:22
very legitimate, but like the customs thing, like that's just customs procedures,
37:28
Like GG can't be like, hey, can you just forgo your procedures to
37:31
not do that's different than we have to find if it was stuck in customs,
37:37
Wikie, they would have an order number, they would know where their
37:39
packaged. Like, that's not what they're saying. So Australia order numbers either.
37:46
No, no, I was talking. Okay, Yeah, the customs
37:50
thing in Australia, that sucks. Sorry. Yeah, if you told me
37:52
the government in China took took all the key forge as, I would tell
37:55
you that you're probably not wrong. That's neither here nor there. But like,
38:02
yeah, I do here to make political commentary on. I do think
38:07
the meme, the meme about uh which key forge player is working in customs
38:13
and going ahead and hand selecting well as it's coming in is pretty funny only
38:16
because I'm on this side and it's pretty sad. But again, I hope
38:20
that's all the decks get turned in. But I can see where that frustration
38:22
is. If we're now seeing here's the next campaign. Hey guys, I
38:29
haven't got my woe yet. We don't even know where it is. That
38:30
could be very frustrating in the Asian market. But I mean I do get
38:34
the feel of like what the Chinese like region is feeling like. Uh again,
38:38
undisclosed source. But like these are the quotes that I got from him
38:40
today. It was like, because of this situation, he's like, to
38:45
be honest, I might just quit the game. With the recent key Ford
38:47
development, our community is behind the idea that there's no local support, massive
38:52
delays on both ends, and now they're sending out pledges to use our money
38:57
further. That is what's coming. And like there is actually a lot of
39:00
players. Like we saw the pictures when they had they ever been or whatever,
39:05
there's way more than I thought there would be. Like I thought that
39:07
was gonna be the smallest vault by far, and the tons of people showed
39:10
up so well. And again something tells me this isn't a gg a gg
39:15
thing and there's not much they can do about it, at least in China.
39:20
I hear you wookie. But here's the end results. The parent company
39:23
is still who is responsible for the product getting to the people who have purchased
39:28
it. No, they contracted, they worked. They're gonna have to go
39:30
ahead and handle that situation, even if it means that they're eating that and
39:35
going ahead and redoing the product. It is a big frustration and a bummer
39:39
and a loss for a company. But that's what the parent company has to
39:44
do to make a situation right. They contracted with someone to be able to
39:47
ship and deliver it got partially there, but it's not in the hands of
39:52
the backers. And I'm pretty specific on this one. I think that's GG
39:57
is the one who needs to handle it. They need to rectify this situation.
40:00
But okay, depending on what happened, like, there may not be
40:04
a rectification, do you know what I mean? The rectification is that it's
40:07
printed again and resent Okay, so we print it again, we resent it,
40:12
and the same thing happens and again without knowing what happened. Like I'm
40:16
under my own assumptions here. Yeah, but like you know what I mean,
40:20
Like it's it might and I am gotta it can already see the angry
40:24
tweets, I am in no way like I agree with you like that it
40:30
should be rectified, but like, depending on what happened, there may not
40:35
be a rectification, Like there may not just be a good way of doing
40:37
it. And I don't know, maybe they just deliver refunds at that point.
40:42
I'm not sure. It's it's it's that's a wait and see scenario,
40:46
like this is something that yeah, they contra you know, And typically what
40:51
happens is, I know, when so I have issues with my you know,
40:54
stuff I order from Company A and B all the time because they deliver
41:00
it to the wrong store and it ends up at my sister's store in West
41:02
Dallas. Typically that's a shipping company that ends up taking taking a good chunk
41:07
of that that pain because they delivered it to the store they weren't supposed to,
41:10
or they delivered it somewhere they weren't supposed to. I don't know what's
41:15
going to happen in this situation. But and again it's it's a wait and
41:19
see, like nobody really well, but yeah, your premise is that it
41:22
eventually does get to wherever it's supposed to be, and then the shipping company,
41:24
you know, gets charged for the double delivery or whatever. But like
41:29
I don't know what happens in the scenario of the product is gone, like
41:32
like GG has to ultimately be responsible. It can't just be gone. It
41:37
has to be somewhere like where it gets stolen, right like it does.
41:44
But it's yeah, that's it's hard mess. It is a hot mess.
41:52
I will there's a lot more for game found, but I do want to
41:54
go ahead and take a quick little time out because they did pull up the
41:58
information. It'll evault to her also happened, so huge shoutouts. There were
42:02
eighty four individuals for Arkhan and fifty four for Alliance, so actually one of
42:07
the largest Alliance fields. I think it is the largest Alliance vault for sure,
42:13
the largest Alliance vault, largest vault period as far as total attendance,
42:19
second largest, Arkon, largest Alliance by far. Was it a vault or
42:22
was it Nationals? It was vault? Yeah. So remember Shanghai and Italy
42:28
both had individual vaults, and the top four for each event actually were able
42:34
to go a hide and make it to Worlds or qualified. Here. I
42:37
did have the top four for Arkhan, so that was Dorian deweyto Zuzuti and
42:46
Leva or PHR Violi totally mispronounced that. I'm sure, but reuge. You
42:54
know. Actually I had been in talk with Phro, so I'm excited to
42:58
be able to meet him in person. But just huge shout out to anyone
43:00
who made it there. And then on the Lion's side, I apologized,
43:04
but I only found the top game, so hopefully we can track down who
43:09
that is and we can get it into that information. Kay, the game
43:14
found just jumped to one eight five and we do have top four for Alliance.
43:20
Italy is Pettit Bots Bottle Knots Petit Bat different person and David Popayini.
43:30
Yeah that's a friend of Petty bott and just you know, got thee the
43:34
name of Control one. I thought they like lived together or something like,
43:37
I don't know, but they are two different people. I learned that this
43:40
year. I also thought it was just because there's tons of people that like
43:45
literally play practice games versus each other like themselves online, and I thought that
43:50
was a situation going on for like years, But no, they're two different
43:53
people. So huge shout out to all those individuals from our leave ault to
44:00
her. Pretty nice. One thing we didn't talk about, and I kind
44:02
of skipped over it was the retailer pledge. I don't one hundred percent like
44:08
that. It's hidden. So the retailer pledge literally says five dollars restricted to
44:15
tabletop gaming retailers only, retailer pledge level to service brick and mortar tabletop hobby
44:22
retailers. And that's all we know. That's because that's all it is.
44:28
It's connecting them five dollars and they're getting nothing. Well, well, no,
44:31
the five dollars is actually going to be applied to credit towards their wholesale
44:36
order. It's nothing. It's nothing, but what it does is it gets
44:39
them a connection. That's all that it is, is to connect with GG
44:43
so they can purchase product. This whole thing is a lame found Like,
44:46
there is nothing in this that gentes me. It's still showing nothing for stores.
44:53
There was one thing that interested me, Well that's you. It didn't
44:58
interest me when we like, I feel like this is exactly where I was
45:05
the last time we had a game found, which is show me the op,
45:08
like, show me what I'm doing with these cards. We assume we're
45:12
gonna have vaults again. I say, that's pretty likely. But but there
45:15
are there are a lot of people who don't actually go to vaults that still
45:20
want to play this game and be able to play this game in their local
45:22
areas, and they're not delivering it. That's true. This is true.
45:30
I mean, just all you have to do is look at the Facebook page.
45:32
There's been plenty of Facebook posts recently within the keyboard uh portion about the
45:39
fact that there is no support coming out of this. I mean, there's
45:44
still not there, and they're not wrong. There's still nothing like we have
45:49
no we have no local op program to do anything with. And I know,
45:55
I know we've this horse, this poor horse. Don't even know what
46:00
to do with him. We should name him, but I know we've beaten
46:05
him to death. So do you think this retailer pledge is actually five dollars
46:12
so they can open up a direct model, yes, and Asthma Day and
46:21
they can get through a loophole in the contract like, oh no, no,
46:23
it was part of the Game Found and that is in the contract that
46:27
through Game Found we can sell stuff nine thousand percent because it's very very very
46:34
clear that the the Asthma Day thing is not working out. Yeah, So
46:40
should I talk my local guy. I'll be like, I'll give you the
46:45
five dollars. In fact, i'll sign up, I'll create account and i'll
46:47
sign up for you, and then i'll hand you the information once I receive
46:52
it. I think that is how a lot of I'm going to talk to
46:58
my store runner this weekend and do the same on Sunday. Yeah, I
47:06
was already in the plans. Yeah, I mean, go do this.
47:09
Or he's able to sell keyboard products, he's going to be hesitant to like
47:14
spend time like this my guy. Yeah, he doesn't have a website for
47:19
his store, Like that's like his accounting system, the register about the paper
47:25
guy, Yeah, it's paper. Yeah. So so like I would have
47:30
to do this for him. You just need to buy that store dress just
47:36
store. I don't know about that. Yeah. And not lose money,
47:44
Yeah, this guy like lives there. It's his life. Making money and
47:47
not losing money is not the keyboarde way losing money and not making money and
47:52
for way right importantly, importantly, he is successful because he likes games,
47:58
but he loves being a small business owner. He's not like it's not the
48:02
other way around. Yes, So so like I love games, I don't
48:07
know that I want to be a small business owner, so it would not
48:09
work for me. He he's really made it work. I think. I
48:13
think he's doing quite well. The isn't doing too well right, like we've
48:20
already been into a pulp. But I do think it is a good thing
48:24
that we're seeing that they do intend to directly network with stores in this way.
48:30
Yeah. I mean you can look all so far. You can look
48:34
at it a good, a positive, or a negative. I mean,
48:37
yes, obviously we haven't seen you know what what has come of it yet,
48:42
but it looks promising. I was speaking just looking at the twelve right
48:49
next to it as this March twenty twenty four? Should we like screenshot that
48:52
so when they try to be like, oh, we always plan for it
48:53
to be July. Yeah, is that totally said? Twenty twenty five?
49:02
Say should we screenshot that? Yes? Absolutely, please do that. It
49:08
means never. Yeah. Ah, So where are we in our notes?
49:15
We did the retailer pledge the flute? What about the there was a flut
49:19
video? I don't know. Some people are really about the plush. They
49:27
should have been The fish were l three sets ago, two sets ago.
49:32
Now well one comes out three two. Yeah, I mean, I I
49:39
was do we all love Flump the grew? And I feel like had some
49:44
love. I don't know if Flum really gets any love I care about.
49:50
I'm just glad is another just like whatever. It looks like a stuck up,
49:55
snobby dog to me more than a cat. Doesn't look like the way
50:01
that the book is. It looks like one of those little Scottish terriers.
50:05
It does not look like you. I mean. And I don't think anybody
50:09
is getting excited over the flume. I don't think excited, but I'm on
50:14
board with it. Like that little dude on the on fathom Reaver would have
50:22
been way better. But he's whoever is not even a character, and he
50:28
is the best thing in key Forde right now, You're right, right guaranteed.
50:32
If he if he looks look out number one, look how cute he
50:36
is and look at his tiny eye patch, very huggable, very I mean,
50:42
it's great. Yeah. Or I dare I dare someone instead of providing
50:50
their own likeness or providing Z's likeness, to provide that little dude and get
50:55
out of them for your two grand He should be the leader of the fish.
51:01
Wow, let's get into the stretch goals real quick, let me go
51:06
back a tab. We got the Rise of the Storm Barrens, obviously giving
51:13
us a little Once this stretch goal is hit, will reveal this is such
51:15
a lame goal. I'm sorry, this is so bad. Once this stretch
51:21
goal has hit, will reveal the next key for it such to be published
51:23
a new house, and we'll add a fun to be revealed stretch goal reward
51:29
for all qualifying backers. It needs to hit two hundred thousand. Well,
51:34
they're the stretch goal, so that's lame as a stretch goal. That is
51:39
the lame I mean this will probably be hit by tomorrow, would be my
51:43
assumption. But like we okay, so we get to know the name of
51:46
the next set, and we already know with what you put in your own
51:51
thing, it's going to be the Skyborn. Well, remember from the first
51:55
game Found, the first twenty four hours and the last are the two big
52:00
push periods. Yep, So I put a put a graph in there,
52:05
and I mean it's pretty steady throughout a lot of the game Found, but
52:08
yeah, you see the two biggest the first twenty four in the last twenty
52:10
four. Yeah, I do think that this will hit on the first stretch
52:15
goal, but I definitely don't think that our numbers are going to be anywhere
52:19
close to where Game found number one was. I mean, what makes you
52:22
say that it's lame, Wookie, right, because the whole point of hitting
52:23
the stress care gitting extra stretch rewards. But that's not a reward just to
52:29
the people who are buying backing. I mean, they're gonna reveal it,
52:35
and hey, guess what's southerly. They're gonna reveal it eventually anyways, so
52:39
what we get it a few months early, and not only that, you
52:44
might think the reveals are weak. And then the other thing is gonna be
52:46
you get a bonus deck or a lot of fun to Beal award for all
52:51
qualifying backers. So that's yeah, that's for they'll so once they hit that
52:55
one, they'll reveal another one. I mean, and with your key Forge
53:01
adventure, I mean, it's pretty obvious who the next house is going to
53:06
be. Now maybe if they mean even if they're like, we'll reveal all
53:09
the houses, Okay, fine, but still it's it's it's still a pretty
53:17
I believe it's pretty lame goal, I am. I mean, just just
53:21
in all the stuff I've ever backed, the stretch goals are only ever extra
53:24
product on top of your pledge. You're not even getting product here. Well,
53:29
maybe you get a deck you are say that there's an extra stretch added
53:31
stretch reward, right, yeah, so you get you get it. Says
53:35
they'll reveal the next stretch award. Says they will add a fun stretch goal
53:44
reward. Okay, yeah, well and well, which will be revealed once
53:52
they reach it. Yeah, but I mean, you got to hit the
53:53
stretch goal. They'll reveal it. But I don't think you're getting it right
53:57
away. That's the point of the stretch rewards. You hit the stretch goals.
54:00
That's that's what I think. That's the lame. Sheep's still playing key
54:07
Forge and then like this whole game Found just just feels phoned in. Yes,
54:15
and it's the same game Found you got last time more or less.
54:19
Well, but it worked, so why are they going to deviate massively?
54:22
But key Forge had been gone for what two years? At that point point,
54:28
everyone was excited. There was no there was no need to think that
54:31
anything could go wrong, right. We were all a little naive at that
54:36
point in time to think that any of this could like be terrible, like
54:39
oh, nothing could go wrong and then just ship hit the fan. It
54:45
goes right, I guess, but like never never had a campaign go right.
54:52
Yeah, they so you know, I still agree with Sheep that they
54:57
should and should have done here. But if if you're not going to go
55:04
down that path here in some fashion, like they have a formula that appeared
55:08
to work people liked a lot of people myself included, really liked getting their
55:15
X ray sucks decks and so putting. You know, even though it was
55:20
hard for them last time, they invested in making it easier for themselves to
55:23
do. So we believe until you know, the date gets moved, the
55:28
date gets moved, or you get your package and you have Z's decks and
55:31
z as Dave Cardero's decks, and well we can't control where decks are going
55:37
to end up. But I will tell you I like seeing the programming.
55:42
I like seeing the process that they're trying to streamline it. And more importantly,
55:46
boys and girls, you can now go ahead and that program is going
55:51
to allow you to pick your Mac color. It's going to go ahead.
55:53
It's all feeding into a nice chart for us and we get to pick our
55:58
houses. I mean, how is how because it's still random deck. It's
56:06
still random deck. But man, that is that it's a nice addition.
56:10
I know the retail pledge it's five bucks, but it's trying to reach out.
56:15
I mean this there needs to be more of a great idea. Right,
56:19
he was going bonkers last time. We'll get there. We haven't quite
56:22
gotten there yet. Well we'll we'll get to that point. But I mean,
56:25
it's it is. It is an attempt. But this really feels like
56:30
a phone. I agree, it's a phone. It's a phone attempt.
56:37
I have a ninety plus SaaS named deck from the last time, and I
56:40
just don't care. It's still not good enough, right, That's that is
56:52
the truth. It is not good enough. It is cool. I'm fine
56:54
having it, but I already got one name for each of my kids.
56:58
I mean, like another X Ray sucks deck is like the only thing I'd
57:02
be interested in is another silly joke deck. Yeah, let's do it,
57:07
let's get more. All right, what what are we doing? What's gonna
57:09
be see our next our next thing? I got you walked? That one
57:16
probably wants stick slow walk slow? Is that what we're doing slow walk slow,
57:21
slow walk slow. Everybody got slow walk slow deck. That one probably
57:23
won't. Yeah, you have to pick all the slowest houses with it,
57:27
though. I definitely has to say I lost a slow walk though, and
57:32
all I got was this crummy T shirt, all right, and needs a
57:37
Comedian Champion deck. Yeah, well that should just be in the standard prize
57:43
pool like they used to have Grand Champion docks. Yeah they were cool,
57:51
all right. One more strutchical to talk about, The Circus comes to Town,
57:54
which is a three three hundred thousand dollars pledgeable award. With unlocking this
58:00
stretch goal, the madness of the Menagerie will be revealed and along with a
58:05
very with a or with its wacky stretch goal reward for all qualifying backers,
58:12
which, okay, I have a problem with this. Number one. You
58:15
you told us that Menagerie was going to be revealed at KFC two Extra Crispy,
58:22
but now we're going to reveal it once we hit three hundred thousand.
58:27
Fine, Oh that's fine, but it's not because here's the problem. Dress
58:31
core the stuff you need to play Menagerie, you will be if you're going
58:35
to KFC, you're getting it. So here's another award that's not necessarily just
58:42
for the people who are backing the game phone. Because if you're going to
58:46
KFC two extra crispy, Wow, we're gonna get When we're getting extra Crispy
58:52
at KFC two, we're going to get grim reminders decks, right, more
58:57
more than likely? Yes, So so I know and we got I can't
59:00
see one. We got whoa dex right, So this is par for the
59:04
course, par for the course. Not there. It's going to be super
59:08
thrilled that we have our grim reminders and they're not going to get it.
59:12
And this is just another Jam's just going to be angry again because he can't
59:19
well I don't know. Maybe Jam will be there and he'll be left.
59:22
Some people were born angry. That's some people should just move to Texas where
59:25
they belong. Okay, but I'm excited about getting to pick the houses like
59:32
I asked for this last season. Yeah, did they check yet? No?
59:37
No, they're still they're still drafting the money for you for a lion
59:43
that check. They're they're right and it what one character at a time.
59:46
No, I'm waiting on my my two lo o H stipend we're gonna stop
59:53
putting out all our ideas on the show. Yes, I mean no,
59:59
that they're doing it. That's good, Like things are kind of show,
1:00:02
I guess, but no, like I'm super excited. I already know what
1:00:07
houses I'm gonna pick. We'll talk about that later, Okay, all right,
1:00:16
But yeah, I mean it's just really I just don't think I'm going
1:00:22
to back this one. Like, if I back this one, it's because
1:00:24
I do it for my store, and I do the five dollars backing.
1:00:29
I think the best value to me, because I do think picking your own
1:00:34
houses is very valuable, is the so like, I actually don't like the
1:00:37
architect one. I would have paid the architect of the Crucible premium had they
1:00:43
announced it in advance and gave us opportunity to log in and do that.
1:00:46
Assholes, But guarantee you're you're missing If everybody knowing you're not guaranteed to have
1:00:53
a chance, then I I, well, no, I would have been
1:00:58
guaranteed to have a chance. That's the far where you said wrong. I
1:01:01
didn't. It wouldn't have been guaranteed to get it. I would have been
1:01:05
guaranteed a chance versus zero chance. So I got a question, and I
1:01:09
know this is I didn't last time they reveal the Tears before because we talked
1:01:15
about it, right, Yeah, I thought I thought they revealed that we
1:01:19
had this whole cast like a week before it actually came out, because it
1:01:22
wasn't Tear that they revealed to us early was the Reaper of Ember, which
1:01:25
we had for the last one, which it is basically more or less the
1:01:30
same. I mean, like this whole game found just like I said,
1:01:35
it just feels like phoned in. They didn't. The articles were like nothing,
1:01:39
nothing, We're gonna delay it for a few weeks. Oh we're doing
1:01:43
that this week, we better release something. And then they flooded us the
1:01:46
day before, and then the day of they just dumped it. Right,
1:01:52
It's just I think it was missop. I don't know. I think it's
1:01:59
fine, But anyway I was trying to get to is I do think the
1:02:02
Breaker of Change is probably if you're like a I don't know into it person
1:02:08
as far as key for it goes the best value, yes, because you
1:02:13
do get the three like I would sooner buy three Breaker of Chains than one
1:02:17
Architect. Yes, you technically get less decks, but then you get nine
1:02:23
of the custom decks that you choose. The houses, Yeah, there are
1:02:27
a lot. There are thirty five different combinations of houses. So if you
1:02:30
have a specific house combination you want, getting increments of three of those is
1:02:37
way more valuable and just getting more decks in the architect pack. So that
1:02:45
is my suggestion as far as like, if you're looking for value, just
1:02:49
get a bunch of the breaker of chains ones. If you want to get
1:02:52
more decks that are can till your store has it and buy them there.
1:02:59
They won't have custos some decks though, now but the figure out expensive depressing
1:03:06
decks well unless unless they they let you put the store's name on it.
1:03:10
Well, okay, that's my question. So we keep talking about the store
1:03:15
pledge, store pledge, store pledge. What what's I mean? We I
1:03:19
guess we don't know the pricing, But what's in it for the stores half
1:03:22
the stores around have written this game off? Is why are they going to
1:03:25
back up because they convince them to get it? That's what like, So
1:03:30
as does a teared pricing for their stores so the stores might be able to
1:03:36
get it at a cheaper price direct through Great Half. Did you do we
1:03:40
not listen to the question. Half the stores that I've written this game off
1:03:44
is dead. I don't think that having this retailer pledge is getting any new
1:03:47
stores to order this product. You have, you have a thousand missed any
1:03:55
point in that. This is for the stores that do know about the game
1:04:00
and do want to support it. They do have a step in there.
1:04:04
This Game Found is not a system that is going to bring stores into the
1:04:10
fold that weren't there, right, That's that like, even thinking it could
1:04:15
do that is just totally goofy. This is just for people like us who
1:04:18
are going to go to the local store and we're gonna be like, hey,
1:04:20
there is the Game Found. They're going to have something. You throw
1:04:25
them this bone. Then you get on their list, and then you're going
1:04:28
to be able to buy direct from them, which is probably how op kits
1:04:30
will come out in the future. So you should do it to find out.
1:04:35
There are a ton of stories out there that Peru's Game Found and what's
1:04:42
the other one. Yeah, those aren't guys who aren't actually running effective businesses
1:04:45
because they got nothing to do but look at Game Found all day instead of
1:04:49
actually, you know, make any money. Wow. I don't think so
1:04:55
but personal it did sound personal. That sounded very personal. I mean,
1:05:00
like you ain't making money taking around with game Found. No, I mean,
1:05:05
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I know a ton of stars do
1:05:10
Kickstarter and game Found and and I guess we don't know if there's any gonna
1:05:15
be anything special. We won't know in time, I think for us the
1:05:20
whole point of it doing there, but yeah, like I'll find out through
1:05:23
vice potential. The fact that there is zero listed outside of like you give
1:05:28
us your name and number and we'll let you buy some stuff later, Like
1:05:32
that is just like clearly they haven't figured it out yet. I don't know.
1:05:39
Yeah, I mean I agree with she but I mean like, like
1:05:41
the scope of this is kind of what we hit The most important thing is
1:05:44
what we hit on earlier already. Like we all know that the score the
1:05:47
stores that we personally work with Sheep with his a local car, with his
1:05:51
mind, with mine to some extent, dress score with his owner, Like
1:05:56
it sucks for the stores to work with as especially in really the key Forge.
1:06:00
If all this is is simply that you can work with the people that
1:06:03
we work with all the time, can direct order from GG it's worth the
1:06:08
five dollars. If there's more than that for op that's great. Yeah,
1:06:13
it's interesting. I know they clearly said that they had an agreement to change
1:06:17
the thing. I there is a possibility that, like it just sold so
1:06:24
little that like they were like, yeah, whatever, if you want to
1:06:27
sell and not hospit it, I don't care that much. That could be
1:06:30
a possibility. Or it's they get to do like one fulfillment thing because this
1:06:38
game foull thing and they're like, well, you know, we got to
1:06:40
get it in stores. I mean, I expect there to be something additional
1:06:43
on top of what I just said. But even if it was literally just
1:06:45
that, I think this is a good thing for our locals, and we
1:06:49
need to get our locals on board do the five dollars. I'm gonna get
1:06:55
my store in our region used to have four stores. I'm gonna I still
1:06:59
know all of them. They just don't run keyboard right now. I probably
1:07:02
can get all four of them on board to at least log in and do
1:07:04
five dollars, just to see what's up. I agreed, glad that there's
1:07:10
something there that. I mean, Hell, I just like you said earlier,
1:07:15
like if it is me paying the five dollars is pulling it out for
1:07:16
those stores. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure I can get all four
1:07:19
of those old regional scores to at least do that to see what's gonna end
1:07:24
up being there. And hell, that means one day in the future we
1:07:28
might be running four stores of keyboards here and you STI again like that would
1:07:30
be great to see again real quick. Something we didn't talk about. The
1:07:34
Awakening Decks will have like the Savior of key Forge decks featured in the Keyboards
1:07:40
which of exchange campaign, the Awakening Decks future a special graphic treatment that will
1:07:44
only be available to backers of the key Forge grimmer Minders campaign. Other than
1:07:47
a special graphic treatment, these decks are identical to other key Forge grimmer Minders
1:07:51
deck and are legal in turn legal in tournament play, so they'll have some
1:07:57
sort of special treatment. Mark is the short and skinny. Where's our special
1:08:05
set game found deck? Like like Walt Master level type deck? Like is
1:08:11
that don't please? Don't please? Come on? Yeah, that's stretch goal
1:08:18
at grim Fountain deck? Maybe maybe that would be a stretch goal. Who
1:08:26
knows, YEA was the same. That's that's at four hundred thousand. Maybe
1:08:29
maybe that's maybe that is the what is this stupid think called monogree? No,
1:08:34
maybe that's what. That's a multi format? Oh shut, we already
1:08:40
know what do you? Why? Why? Why is everyone saw it gets
1:08:44
the key forards multiplayer format? I'm fine. I mean, actually, if
1:08:48
it didn't because there's adventure, we don't need a game for five of us.
1:08:57
I don't assume it's a four player format. But I mean there's song.
1:09:00
I can only get three people at our store, so wow, there's
1:09:05
more people on our cast than that. You're still shosh. I mean,
1:09:10
I like getting friends together then, like we'll just all kind of play the
1:09:13
same game together, right, Like, just get three or four people in.
1:09:15
It works well? I mean, And the good thing is, here's
1:09:18
a deck with four people. You could have the junkiest of decks and still
1:09:23
somehow win just because there's there's four people there and it just goes sideways.
1:09:30
It happens. Weird stuff does happen when you have smaller numbers. No,
1:09:34
so ah, where are we? Is that? That's going to kind of
1:09:41
wrap it up for us today? We got anything any housekeeper we share like
1:09:45
initial feelings of like backer level, we have it like I can go down
1:09:48
the list like we want to make make the make the the predictions again.
1:09:56
Okay, yeah, so we'll start at the bottom. Elf at the moment,
1:10:00
what backer level are you feeling and what is your max pledge? Guess
1:10:06
that's okay, So my backer level is going to be breaker and I'm guessing
1:10:13
six point fifty k okaydras what you got. So I've pledged for a Breaker
1:10:18
of Chains. I agree with you before that. If they had done more
1:10:23
custom decks with pick your Houses and whatnot, I would have considered going going
1:10:30
more. But Breaker of changes where I'm at right now, I think we
1:10:33
get to six oh one sure see nope, okay, six and a quarter
1:10:45
six way lower than I am. And I'm supposed to be the cinecal one
1:10:50
on this show. So yes, Breaker of Chains. I think that I'm
1:10:58
going to go ahead and go six seventy five. Wookie, I booked them
1:11:02
all in in the sixes. If I do back, I am I am
1:11:08
very much a sheep. I want to see the product in stores. If
1:11:13
I do back, it will be the Reaper at one sixty deck and they're
1:11:19
still that's good. I mean it's again. Custom decks are cool and all,
1:11:24
but again it's it's another key Forge deck. I can put it in
1:11:29
my box with the rest of the key for to pick the houses, much
1:11:33
like all the other decks. I can put it in the box with the
1:11:35
rest of my junk for two dollars. I can go on and pick the
1:11:40
houses and even some of the cards named Deck Shredder and not. Not only
1:11:45
that, there's this thing called Alliance. I can pick the houses there and
1:11:50
even guarantee they're probably good. Right, So, I mean, the house
1:11:56
thing doesn't really make me get crazy, but I think it's going to hit
1:12:01
seven fifty oh talk prediction, Well, I will. I wanted the architect
1:12:11
of the Crucial Premium Edition. I am still desperately trying to sell my body.
1:12:16
Don't worry. At seven hundred thousand, there's going to be a different
1:12:20
stretch call and that's the one you want. That's the It's going to be
1:12:26
called the Big Z Edition. I guarantee it. No, it's going if
1:12:32
it is called the Big Z Edition. I don't know what everyone owes me,
1:12:36
but you especially owe me something. I will give you a hook.
1:12:43
I'm getting that at KFC. Anyways, not now, No, No,
1:12:49
all right, So yes, I am still going to do whatever I can
1:12:54
to get to that pledge. If I don't get it, I might be
1:12:58
crying in the corner too much to pledge anything. Be so sad when there's
1:13:02
a five thousand dollars one and there's gonna be a whole house and you get
1:13:05
to pick the name. But then that still means I would want that too.
1:13:12
That doesn't mean I would want this one. Less clearly got some art
1:13:16
in mind that he wants on a card. Don't do you get to choose
1:13:20
the art in there? It all it is is you get to choose your
1:13:25
likeness. You don't get to choose the card or the effect either way.
1:13:30
Either way, that is what I want. As far as predictions, I
1:13:35
I'm with Wookie. I think I don't know how much over this, but
1:13:39
I do think we see the seven hundred k pledge hit. So I'm probably
1:13:44
in that seven hundred to seven to fifty range right there with Wookie. I
1:13:46
think we will see that stretch goal hits. I don't last time we kept
1:13:53
seeing new ones open up here. I doubs we'll see new ones open it
1:13:58
up because I don't think they want to over question for you guys, why
1:14:00
are we all convinced it's going to be significantly lower than last time, even
1:14:08
though the game should be building steam right now because no one in China is
1:14:13
gonna buy. Yeah, like ninety five percent of the I don't actually number,
1:14:21
but it was a very high percent. Was not that or initial like
1:14:27
I was the one that was high before, Like I thought we were going
1:14:30
to be over a million, and then like it kind of just took off
1:14:34
at some point. But there's a big spike from internationals. I do think
1:14:40
some of the international community feels slighted. Whether that's accurate or not. We're
1:14:47
going to have a lot less international game founding, and there was a lot
1:14:51
of money, like we see, we saw some of the numbers, like
1:14:55
Jam had his thing that we were all looking at as far as data goes,
1:15:00
like and I think I think we see like half of the investment this
1:15:04
time around as we did before. So do you? So we're all saying
1:15:08
on the international three hundred thousand dollars less, So you think there's gonna be
1:15:14
six hundred thousand dollars you thought? Are you saying that you thought there was
1:15:16
six hundred thousand that came from internationals. Well, no, like I'm saying,
1:15:24
like, so Jay, I'm saying, like you said, there's one
1:15:25
point one million before, and I'm saying it's be like right at seven hundred.
1:15:28
So I yeah, I do think there's gonna be four hundred thousand dollars
1:15:31
less period, And I do think a good chunk of that is international funding
1:15:35
is just getting cut. And then another part is like a lot of the
1:15:41
Americans that invested initially are kind of like sheep, Like we all invested high
1:15:45
initially because we wanted the game to like thrive and succeed, and that was
1:15:47
just part of it. But there are a big chunk that really want their
1:15:51
stores to be the ones doing this. So we'll see what this store pledge
1:15:58
ends up being, but that's just gonna be a little bit lower for somewhere
1:16:01
this time this go around. And some people were just tapped, like like
1:16:05
we were coming into the first game, found like in a dry spell where
1:16:10
the most money people spent on keyboards was like twenty bucks to get twenty fire
1:16:13
sale decks. They had excess funds at that time. People have been buying
1:16:17
well right now like constantly, like whate is you know, people are buying
1:16:21
decks in the secondary, so like people are going up the world, so
1:16:25
they're spending money right now. This is more money on top of more money,
1:16:29
so like there's just less to spend unless they're stupid like me. Yeah,
1:16:35
I know, I can agree with that. I mean, yeah,
1:16:38
a lot of things are happening, but money is not Money is not where
1:16:44
it was a year ago. So all right, I think that's gonna do
1:16:48
it for us tonight, if I believe, make sure you're following us on
1:16:53
all of our social medias. We do have an announcement coming up on Monday
1:16:58
the sixth, Yeah, the sixteenth, this Monday. Are we doing a
1:17:01
cast Monday? No, All announcement will be will be put out on our
1:17:06
social media on Monday. I'm gonna sneeze. No, I'm not. What
1:17:12
about we could maybe record a Patreon or something. Still, No, we
1:17:17
got like, uh, draz Core experience Vegas to talk about. We do
1:17:21
have to do a das core experience though, I mean a lot of things
1:17:25
came came from We have the preview cards still from the last set of game
1:17:31
found, the last update that came through, and then I think it's uh,
1:17:39
I think it's time to get into World's talk. So well, I
1:17:42
think we need to come up with some ideas of key forage things, you
1:17:49
know, help help the people, help us, help us poor clubs me
1:17:55
dras Core and Southerly to get the run and make it to worlds. The
1:17:59
rundown on Sealed Alliance. Whoa Seal Alliance? Yeah? So everyone a curve
1:18:03
ball. You're gonna get there, and your three decks are gonna be crime
1:18:06
reminders. They are, it will be. I was gonna say, they've
1:18:13
already said in their article that are in the article and never changes things on
1:18:18
it. That's then that that I thought of that, and I'm like,
1:18:21
never mind, guy, it is, by the way, going the top
1:18:26
four, all of our all of our woe is then on a palette in
1:18:30
uh Cleveland. So oh, they could all be vault Master's decks, vault
1:18:36
Masters three decks, So that would be great. I I just why do
1:18:45
I hear jam just complaining it could be World Masters decks, every pot world
1:18:50
Masters that World Master's decks. Yes, that's right, World's Master deck,
1:18:56
a whole new set up your world Master deck and available. Just call it
1:19:00
us Masters and be done with it. Every pod has one in furnace,
1:19:05
one lateral shift in one Eddy. I guess it really where that lateral shift
1:19:13
goes. Ah, wow, that that could be a thing too. Yeah.
1:19:18
I don't know how I feel about that. But for those of you
1:19:21
