Lately I have had the urge to play not Magic: The Gathering but other, less popular trading card games of the nineteen nineties.

Ian I have some magic cards now, we should play

only want to play lovecraft & tolkien based games that died a slow death of obscurity and waning playerbase.

i never did find my box of decks. which had my decks for these game too. i just found my boxes of junky common cards from cycles passed.

those are the best anyway

there is a new version of richard garfield's post-magic game netrunner, i never played it back in the day but it looks kinda cool, asymmetric gameplay and cheeseball 90s cyberpunk.

i would like to play jyhad again, or spellfire.

wait, what? I think I played it about twice after ordering the cards on ebay post-2000. Still have them, they look awesome. Is the new one revised or just a reissue?

ian theres a really rad lotr card game out thats non-collectible you should def give it try

my wife barely likes to play scrabble & rumikub, she is def not gonna play a lotr game w me.

really rad lotr card game out thats non-collectible

yeah i really enjoy this, also it is playable solo if all your friends are too cool

Is the new one revised or just a reissue?

it's revised into a "living card game" a la the lotr game, there are like mini-expansions that are the size of an old-school starter deck that all have the same cards. the lotr game is coop, with the players opposing a sort of rudimentary card AI, it works better than it sounds. the netrunner game is still PvP.

i am buying some magic cards from this guy and he also has a bunch of wheel of time tcg cards that i really want to buy but i a) have no one to play with and b) think the cards themselves are ugly as fuck

new netrunner is the greatest game ever

mordy have you played fantasy flight's lotr lcg?

not yet- i'd like to

there's a new netrunner?!?

wheel of time CCG was a nightmare to play iirc.

i think most of my middle earth & mythos cards are in the basement of my ex-employer and i'll probably never see them again.. but i do have my magic decks.

i used to play this

*speaks through time*

max did you ever play this? this is one of only 2 ILX references to legend of the five rings. a friend of mine is about to start up a L5R campaign and invited me to join. i'm trying to figure out whether it will be fun enough to outweigh the hassle/detachment of playing with them remotely.
