For the online crew who aren't at Gencon ...

(or even if you want to sign in from Gencon, if you want)

Tribbles ... with Troubles! in Lackey on the night they become legal. 10pm Eastern, join me!

[prylardurden]

Any shot that can bump back a little?

[commdecker]

Maybe. How much?

[prylardurden]

Half hour?

[commdecker]

Seems fine. Make sure you update your Tribbles plugin!

[commdecker]

Thanks all for playing!

I'll have a writeup soon, but I thought others might also like some further feedback on the new cards.

Some moments and lessons learned:

Mutate/Fizzbin is cool. So is Copy/Mutate. And yes, the Aside pile works well for Mutate.
Go/Fizzbin does not trigger Dabo.
Sabotage/Qapla does not trigger Ante.
Ante is, in part, Discard at a new denomination.

Some new-card info:
We saw most of the new tribble cards. I don't think Roll or Reset came up, and Rival was played but never activated. Shift came into play, but was never activated.
We cycled all the way through the trouble deck, and shuffled it to go again. No-one paid points to shift it. We paid draws two or three times. We hit the matching tribble two or three times. But most of the shifts were from missing on denominations.
Troubles whose powers actively did something (not including the "may not activate" ones, which the whole table might notice): Cloning Lab, Computer Core, Mess Hall. The others just weren't in play at the right time.
We did lack one trouble; Lackey gave us a 1 BaH image instead. Looking at the list now, I'm pretty sure we never had "Manheim's Lab".

Go/Fizzbin does not trigger Dabo.
Sabotage/Qapla does not trigger Ante.

I assume Go/Fizzbin doesn't work because you don't activate Fizzbin (a passive power).

Similarly, Sabotage/Qapla doesn't trigger Ante because you don't play Qapla off a Sabotage?

[commdecker]

Right. Fizzbin is passive ... and Ante specifies that it triggers when Qapla is played, not when it's activated.

So sad I wasn't available for this!!!

Also, if you are going to go out for a very small amount (no Big Money), make sure the Trouble isnt the 'everyone that didnt go out gets 100k'. I may have done that anyway but didnt even notice until it was happening.

You really don't play Tribbles the right way.

[KillerB]

At GenCon I went out and gave everyone 100k. Because I'm not a selfish prick like Josh Sheets.

(Mods can't warn me for that since he just proved he's a bad person.)

Right. Fizzbin is passive ...

Is there a passive-aggressive power? Because my ex-wife had that....

I've confirmed this, the Lackey pile includes BaH instead of Manheim's Lab. Also, you should note that the Trouble pile is not shuffled when the NewGame starts.
