I checked this list and didn't see it noted, but in the Pike Industrial Complex card set, there is a card titled:

"Checmical Explosion"

which I believe should be

"Chemical Explosion"

This is as good a place to bring this up as any.

Remember how the art for Darken the Skies was low res? In my recent plays with The Matriarch, it is beginning to irk me more and more.

Reprinting is not viable because the card backs and color tone may be different from the rest of the deck.

So instead, will the designers upload a paste up errata card, much like the 1st->enhanced Ed errata, with the corrected hi res art so that we (read *I*) can print it out and slot in front of my sleeved cards?

I so love the Sentinels art.

Thanks.

Something like this?

Darken the Sky

Does that work for you?

Heck, I'll do you one better. It's one of my favorite arts from that set, in fact. 

Glorious birdage.

I don't know if I knew there was a lady in that picture.  I thought it was all just birds.

Hey, Christopher:

How close are you to needing to do a reprint of Rook City?

 

I would totally rebuy it for that awesome artwork alone!

Can this be an add on in the Kickstarter?  I'd replace every pixely DtS card in her deck with this beauty.

Just shut up and take my money!

The card backs will be different due to different print runs and you will be able to tell that Darken the Sky is coming just from the different coloured backs.

As long as the backs are /darker/ I will accept it on pun value alone.

I wish to make another request. I understand that for Absolute Zero's deck, 1 Coolant Blast was substituted with 1 Frost-Bound Drain in the Enhanced Edition.

Is it possible to upload the full card image of Frost-Bound Drain so that I can print it out and slot it in front of my 1st Ed Coolant Blast card?

Thanks in advance.

If we order a replacement card, does it come with this higher resolution image?

Unfortunately, no. The replacement cards are just cards removed from other copies of Rook City, and we are still solidly in the first print run of Rook City.

I found a typo tonight on one of the Argent Adept's cards - the quote at the bottom of Musaragni's Harp reads "It's strings can play as quietly as a mouse, or as loud as a lion!". The first word of that sentence shouldn't have an apostrophe - otherwise it's basically saying "It is strings can play..." ;).

Well, damn! Slipped past us.

Sigh. Here's an actual quote from me in the playtesting forum in which we proof-read Argent Adept: "Wow. I am _NOT_ proofreading these as well as I thought I was."

Lol. I'll let you know if I should happen to spot any more, but other than ones that have already been noted ("Checmical Explosion" and I think a repeated word in the text for Imbued Fire), I don't think I've ever spotted any others on cards :).

This isn't a typo, but does anyone else have something funny going on with the colors on the backs of Apostate's deck?  Mine seem to differ greatly between cards.  Some are a lighter gray with others very dark.  It hasn't affected our gameplay yet, but I imagine in time we will be able to tell which cards have a lighter back and which have a darker one.

Hmm, yeah, I think you're right, but as I'm looking at them under my bedroom light rather than daylight it's hard to tell and it's making my eyes go all weird, lol. I don't think it makes much difference, though, since it's not as if only certain cards are dark/light. I mean, I looked at one "dark" card and one "light" one, and turned them over and it turned out they were both the same ("Fallen Angel" One-Shot). I think there's enough of a mix of cards that you can't tell what's gonna come up, even with this slight difference in card backs.

At first I was mistakenly looking through Ambuscade's deck, and I was thinking, "These people are crazy. There are _no_ differences."

 

Then I looked at Apostate's deck and it was clear that there are!

For example, pull out the two Apocalypse cards and the three Profane Summons cards. I bet that just be looking at the backs you can tell which ones are which.

Argent Adept has a card 'Akpunku's Drum' which (more or less) has the following text:

"Perform the accompany text of a Rhythm card and the perform text of a Melody card"

Nothing ostensibly wrong with this, other than that every other instrument lists the perform text first. Don't know why but this card always sticks out like a sore thumb because of that.

It is that way on purpose. Both because of the order of play makes for interesting interactions, and because it's a drum, which is primarily an accompanying rhythm instrument, but occasionally can be used to lay out a primary musical line, depending on the type of music.

Thanks for the clarification! So does this mean you have to play them in listed order? It is then rather than and? I've been reading the and as meaning that the order of activation doesn't matter.

Order written on cards is always done in the order written, no matter what conjunctions are used to combine them.  Someone started the idea that the word "and" started simultainious actions, thus allowing the players to decide order, but, the only thing I've ever heard from the developers is that order occurs in the order on the cards.  And, for precedent, Fanatic deals 1 target 1 melee and 1 radiant damage.  It has always been stated that you first deal one target one melee damage, and then deal that same target one radiant damage.  Never the other way.

While I know that the effects on the Adept's instruments must occur in order, one of my most frequent uses is that of the harp to play the Perform and then the Accompany of a Harmony card. The Perform that I activate is the one that lets you use another power (Inspiring Supertonic, I think). So I should then immediately interrupt that first instrument's actions to play another power, which itself might be to let myself play another power. So I normally just act out the second part of the harp's actions (usually just healing myself with Supertonic's Accompany section) in order to avoid confusing myself. I figure it's okay in those instances, since it doesn't affect the gameplay that I take that particular action before I'm supposed to. Or at least, it hasn't so far. I don't want to have to keep track of too many things - the Adept is complicated enough as it is! :D

Technically, yes, these actions should be put in a stack.  And, for the most part, simply recovering a point of HP will likely never alter the outcome, except in the corner case that the targets regaining HP are nearly depleted, and some action you do could result in that target's destruction had you not restored HP.

But, really, if you did want an easy way to keep track of that stuff, you could always literally stack the cards as you use their powers, and when one instrument is done, take it off the stack to resolve the next instrument underneath.  You could even have the instruments oriented one way or the other to determine whether the instrument is currently on it's first action or it's second action, and then stack them in another pile once they have been fully used.

Yeah, that idea has occurred, but basically I can't be arsed and I figure it's okay as long as acting out of order won't have any effect on the outcome of using those powers.

While resleeving my Omnitron cards (due to Mayday sleeves varying in length to a great degree, much to my disappointment), I noticed a similar predicament to the issue with Apostate's cardbacks that I mentioned earlier.  It appears that some cards have distinguishably darker backs than others.  It isn't as prominent as the backs of Apostate's cards, but I thought it should still be brought up.

I was putting all my lovely new cards into the main box last night and had a quick look at each one as I did so, just to give them a cursory glance to make sure they were all printed okay and stuff (having heard of there being the occasional issue with that in the past), and while there were no issues there, I did notice that on Miss Information's starting side (on the text card, not the picture card), she's described as a "Demure Ofice Worker"...oops. The picture card has it spelt correctly, though, as does the setup text.

On Kismet's character card in the advanced rules (Charmed Scoundrel side), should it read "At the start of the villain turn, Kismet deals each hero target affected by a Jinx card 2 psychic damage"?  Glass Jaw could end up on a Unity bot, for instance.

In La Capitan's deck, L'Épéiste has an extra space in the title (after the apostrophe).

Too much space between 'L' and 'T' in Multiverse in the logo .

Just wanted to throw this out there:

On Proletariat's bio, it reads "leaving him unharmed and more prepared to meet the threat then before"

Figured you guys might want to fix that.

I just use dice to track where I am in the resolution.  Die 1 on the Instrument, die 2 on the card being performed, die 3 on the card being accompanied.  Or, if the two songs are Inspiring Supertonic and Inventive Preparation, die 1 on the Lyra that's playing them, die 2 on Supertonic's perform, die 3 on Xu's Bell whose Power I'm using, die 4 on Preparation's Perform (assuming I have no other Rhythms), die 5 on Supertonic's Accompany, and die 6 on Preparation's Lyra Accompany which I finally get back to after the Bell is finished.

Come to think of it, doing this sort of thing may be exactly what I like about the Argent Adept.  He's not otherwise my style of hero, but I seem to enjoy getting to chain all these different effects together, in a way that makes my brain hurt and my turn take a quarter-hour as I compute the whole sequence.  (If we ever get a hacker hero, perhaps they could have a build somewhat similar to the Adept?  In the sense that Ra and Haka and Tempest are all somewhat similar, that is, not to the point of them actually being the same.)

(On a side note, mentioning Telamon's Lyra is particularly funny this month or so, because I'm reading The Golden Compass.  Lyra's daemon even has a fairly similar name, Pantalaimon, usually just "Pan", so you could view Talaimon as a sort of surname, in which case it's just a slight spelling difference.)

At least she's not an Orifice Worker.  That would be hard to do demurely....

"Then" would imply that you don't get the second half without doing the first half (not explicitly state it, as "If you do", does, but create the appearance of a correlation between completing step 1 and proceeding to step 2).  I think "and" was correct to use here.
