I was looking through the starter decks for my boyfriend and I to try out playing with the modern rule set and I noticed a few instances where a card has a download but the downloadable card is not in the deck. For example, in the Federation deck, Vash has a download for Dig, but Dig is not in the deck. Is this on purpose? Is dig just worthless so you'd never use it? Was it an oversight? There's a few others in the starter sets as well.

Generally (for simplicity) downloads are left out of the starter decks so new players don’t need to concern themselves with them. Dig is actually a useful card and worth including in certain decks.

I've been trying to get these done for a long time but don't have the capability myself, and crowdsourcing didn't seem to work either. Perhaps once I fill the open positions in my department I'll have time to try again.

In the meantime, we do offer online play, which means there are often players online available to help teach the game.

Where are you located, Iella? There may be a player group near you.

Would it be safe to just toss those missing downloads into the starter decks?

Shoot, videos would be really cool.

Southeastern Pennsylvania. Romulus region. Haven't figured out how to add my region to my profile.

Possibly, but the decks were tested without them. So they could well make them unbalanced.

So near the Maryland border?

There are players in NJ & Philly. Some of them come to play in southern Maryland & northern Virginia. I’ve been trying to work out how to do a Sunday in the NJ area this year with old friends who I used to play with.

The biggest problem I find is that there are too many different communication channels for me to keep track. Some of the people I know are only through text, Facebook, email, or only on the boards. It’s a bit...hard to try and keep everyone appraised and coordinate when to play.

  • - In the upper left corner of this page you will find "User Control Panel", just next to your user name.

    - In there you will have the "Options" box on the left side. Klick "Profile" and then you can edit your profile automatically.

    - In the middle of the screen it´s the 3rd last option "Region", just under "Birthday"

I hope that was helpful. Oh, btw. welcome to the hobby :)
Please enjoy the game and ignore the user KillerB like in viewtopic.php?f=56&t=36371&view=unread#unread

Cheers

While I appreciate your answering my question, I would also appreciate you not using my thread to continue your personal vendetta against KillerB. You seem to do so in nearly every thread you post in.

Yeah, you´re right. I should have asked your first. I know when I messed up, so please accept my apologies on this official way where everybody can read it and consider it done.

And of course it was a pleasure to help you on the region question.
