Podcast 22: Care and Feeding of Dice Masters

In this episode, Dave, Evan, and Katie get back to business with the first FAQTalk in a while. Next, we answer a bit of mail that has come in since the last time we answered the mail. Finally, we close with a discussion of storage solutions now that we're getting more cards, and with an eye toward the plethora of Dice Masters to come.

  1. Here's my reasoning I posted on BGG regarding why Psylocke - Betsy Braddock should refer to purchase cost: http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1249541/can-we-come-agreement-psylocke-betsy-braddock

    Considering the general downgrade of power level for this set, I don't see a four cost that 100% of the time assassinates >90% of the existing characters (an ability we never had in AvX) as a possibility.

    1. Without having listened to the podcast to know why this post is relevant, I agree. I think that the term 'cost' means purchase cost. Fielding cost, in my opinion, is a very specific attribute and if they were talking about that...they would specify.

      I think it states 'including sidekicks' because they don't have a purchase cost. Excluding them would've created a different set of questions; players would want to know if they're fair game as well.

  • I'm almost 100% certain that it's purchase cost. It would make very little sense for the various incarnations of Psylocke to target such vastly different things. Just another case of poor editing.

  • For storage I am using Joann fabrics plastic art bin bead box with two extra packs of dividers for $17. It holds my full set of AVX cards through OP 5 double sleeved and plenty of room to pull dice per compartment. Just started the same for UXM. For constructed tournaments I have the hard sided ultra pro box with the bottom compartment for dice so I can travel light.

  • Awesome podcast, and thanks for the kind words towards the end. As far as storage goes, I have my dice in the flattest clear tackle box I could find at Dick's Sporting Goods. It was like $8. Sine I just carry things in my messenger bag, I made sure I got a box flat enough that I will be able to fit 3 or 4 of in my bag, along with my 3-ring binder full of cards. I might get a small card binder, 4 cards per page, and put my constructed and draft teams in that prior to an event. But right now there's no problem dragging everything with me to an event.

  • I put my stuff in a Plano Box. I have the whole AvX set and about 85% of the UXM set and EVERYTHING, including dicebags, paper playmats and all my cards (in sleeves) and dice, fits inside that one box.

    Follow the link above - they are selling them for just $10 which is a really great deal!

  • You claim in the podcast that there are no cost 2 characters with a TFC of 6. Man, first you badmouth Johnny Blaze, then you deny his very existence. Vengence is such a cruel mistress.
