Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion
Both other games I've backed for 2023 (not so far away now) have detailed and unpainted minis: Spring and Autumn: Story of China (Mr. B Games) and Dune: War For Arrakis (CMON). Many other newer ones I own are the same: The Great Wall (Awaken Realms), Hellenica: Story of Greece (Mr. B Games) the Eric M. Lang Trilogy--Blood Rage, Rising Sun, and Ankh: Gods of Egypt (CMON), Mezo (Kolossal) Titans (Go On Board) and Cry Havoc (Portal Games). Many others have less detailed but still unpainted minis, such as those by Metagot. Although these are mostly strategy rather than skirmish games, the minis are the same.

Today? Probably, especially if it were headed for stretch goals. Tomorrow I'm less sure about.

This is something about corporate leadership I don’t get. If something is working and making money, why does it always need to make more money? It just makes what was working unsustainable and it’s so short sighted that it seems stupidly obvious, but do they just not care because they’ll collect an end of quarter or year end bonus and move on the next product/company to wring dry? This doesn’t apply to the Heroscape campaign, but I’ve been hearing all this fallout from the Magic business and have just been wondering why they would run one of their most successful brands into the ground to make a few extra bucks. |

Fast forward to today and it looks like history is going to repeat itself. Sports cards have made a huge comeback and was supercharged by the pandemic. Print runs of cards have been increasing with each set now that its popular again. And the Big Daddy, Topps, was recently purchased by Fanatics. All those investors are going to want their money back, with a return, fast. How will they do it? Print, print, print... collapse. -insert signature here- Last edited by nyys; November 14th, 2022 at 01:34 PM. |

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion
Many executives also have "golden parachutes" that reward them for making money over the course of 3 years and then leaving after that, with no regard for the state of the company after they leave.

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion
Xenithrax looks cool, placing glyphs based on a characters special ability is a novel idea |

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion
I deleted my post because I saw they posted the new cards on the news thread but YES Xenithrax looks BA, the whole Dryan faction honestly. Marachott is essentially a much better mind flayer who owns a whimsical fey creature.

The full article is paywalled, but the top comment of this Reddit thread has a few snippets. I won't try to analyze this mess, others in that thread have already had at it. But to sum up what I've seen of the actual article, it's pretty much just speculators investors worrying about WotC/Hasbro ruining the secondary market. |

Comments On Dryans just posted on the No Posting thread
1. Some of these have had their loyalty now transferred to Ullar, as had been predicted previously. 2. The noted familiars have been made Small, so they could be controlled by the Wizards. Before I think they were all a larger size, and so couldn't be. 3. I'm still wondering how, as Craig had said during the Con presentation, these will interact with the older Elf Wizards. I think the Pod ones gain strength from Elf Wizards, not just "Wizards," which these are. 4. Xenithrax: Does a second target need to be adjacent to the dragon as well, or the First Target. Etc. up to the fourth target. I'd assume it works like a chain, as do many other Dragon powers, but its not clear in the way its written. 5. Rackchott: Consume The Dead I notice that this works on any figure killed, not necessarily by him, and not necessarily an unfriendly figure. 6. Marichott: I note that she can attempt control of a friendly or unfriendly figure. That staff means she'll always get 2 hits, but never more than 3. (I love Marichott, the Jean Grey of Heroscape. But honey, we've got to do something about that hair!) Last edited by chas; November 14th, 2022 at 03:22 PM. |
