Phoenix: Dawn Command

Post by silva »

Kickstarter is up: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tw ... f=gamerati

So, card based. The more you die the stronger you get ( but your maximum lives are 7 ). Bronze Agesque aesthetics. From the author of Eberron and "Gloom".

I saw the title and really hoped it was a cleaning up of the Pheonix Command ruleset. But no, just another heartbreaker. This time with dying on purpose and cards.

He does it because he's getting responses. If you stop responding, he'll probably stop posting them.

Any deck building game could be, in theory, construed as "dying makes you stronger".

For example: Dominion. Each time you shuffle your deck the current generation of the head of the noble family you're supposed to be playing dies, and the heir inherits greater power/land/wealth by shuffling the deck and folding in the last generation's acquisitions.

Or at least to keep such shilling to one of the appropriate already extant Kickstarter shilling threads.
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

Sorry, didn't know those existed.
The traditional playstyle is, above all else, the style of playing all games the same way, supported by the ambiguity and lack of procedure in the traditional game text. - Eero Tuovinen
