Thank you so much for including me in your video. Everstone looks really good!

Tempted to add a couple more boxes because of the drop rates and extras lol

[@robertcrist124]

I can’t determine if opening an Altered KS box is smart as an investment. You can sell those special cards right away but keeping a box sealed is typically beneficial. I want to get a few boxes and hold on to them and just buy retail versions to play with.

I’ve been scouting the Altered campaign since launch. It’s pretty remarkable how they keep getting backers. While I think the drop rates are a very nice stretch goal, as are the extra packs, I think the special art cards are somewhat disappointing. The KS logo on the card would make it special enough, changing the art isn’t any more special in my eyes. And to nitpick the art of the cards, literally one thing is changed from common -> rare(s) -> unique example: update 19 Loki art. Special art, common -> rare they add a jacket and the colors of Loki’s shirt are different. Rare -> unique only changes the jacket. Even the base cards not much changes, color tones, a second horn, their hair grows. The pose and overall look of the card is the same. I wish there were distinct variations of the cards. The KS art for the boosters and packs is barely cool enough to call a stretch goal. Sure you will know on the outside when you buy a pack it’s the KS version, but in person you could open the pack and if the stamp isn’t there you know it was fake. Over EBay the seller could use a fake image of the KS pack. Not really the point but I’d rather take another drop rate or something. The latest standee stretch goal is only applicable to people buying the upgrade pack haha hardly making it worth stretch goal status. I understand they can’t only do drop rates and free packs but outside of those stretch goals, the other options are very lackluster.

Any chance you guys doing any coverage/playthrough for ASoIaF Tactics?

What happened to Chit Chat? Looking forward to the next episode.

Altered looks amazing, but the thing that stops me from backing at the moment is their novelty- QR codes; digital rights for cards; availability to print on demand (without known price at the moment)… Some bugs could appear in the app, maybe some situations that they haven’t considered yet… Aren’t you a bit afraid that all the novelty could be a possible downfall of this game?
