This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Anyone here remember the good times of the GWENT beta?

It was a killer ccg, nothing else like it at the time; invincible dwarven armies, legions of arachas drones, and treacherous infiltration networks of Niilfgard with three lanes of combat to prop up your cards like a proper army on the field with siege equipment in the back archers in the midline and warriors duking it out in the frontline with weather effects slowly withering away forces either side, it was real different. Folks called it unbalanced, but each match was a spectacle.

This game was the first and only time I bought a card booster with my money, then after that it gets taken off console where I played it, It almost entirely changes to a standard ccg (It still kept the mechanic where you had to guess how much manpower your opponent had and decided to either bolster your current forces to intimidate the enemy into passing the round or hedging your forces to overpower the enemy in the next round) with admittedly neat effects and graphics but it was essentially turned into a multiplayer version of their solo ccg Thronebreaker. I sometimes boot up the witcher videogames just to play it again as it was originally, the lack of MTX is always a plus.

Each version of the CCG game blows the TTRPG out of the water, from what I've read of one of the reviews on here, though so that's something!
