Re: Sites without "Playable" option

Additionally, every site can be used for company vs. company combat, counter influence attempts, or agent movement. Minions also have a few permanent-events that are playable at generic Border-holds that have no other stuff.

Re: Draft of CoE Digest #200 Q8 - Flatter a Foe + Foolish Words - Open until August 27th

I will only add that this distinction between influence attempt and influence check has greater implications if they were to be made synonymous (e.g., Lure of Power). At least there is this very old ruling: >7. Is an "Influence Check" indicating an Influence Attempt automatically? So... is...

Re: Draft of CoE Digest #200 Q4 - Transferring items - Open until August 27th

I am in agreement with this ruling. I would advocate for it being labeled as a clarification rather than an errata to the The Balrog and Challenge Decks rules summaries. A summary necessarily touches main points while simplifying details. Erratum list and correct an errors in printing, and in this s...

Re: Draft of CoE Digest #200 Q12 - Half-orcs and covert companies when playing FW - Open until August 27th

A company with Half-orcs + Men is not overt. First, I think this is a reasonable ruling to clarify a potentially ambiguous situation, the parsing of "a company with only Half-orcs and Men." In my opinion , the parsing that would be necessary to require a man to avoid being overt---groupin...

Re: Dissipate Darkness/Audacity -- A General Cooperative Variant

Updates: * reduce Darkness prowess penalty -- modifier is no longer cumulative, and ignored for large enough companies. I'll be interested in additional feedback as we find the right balance. * make OG have discard pile and count against hazard limit -- reduces shuffling and low-hazard-limit compani...

Re: Reporting the errors in card texts

Several instances of the hyphen being left out of "permanent-event":

All Nazgul cards
Morgul-horse
Shelob ("as a permanent event" is extraneous. Also missing period of first sentence.)

Denver Regional Moot: August 19

We've got a MECCG moot planned for Saturday, August 19. This will likely be our biggest since (or even before?) COVID, hopefully pulling in some players from various areas around Denver and some folks from out of state. PM me here or on Discord if you might be interested! We'll be roughly aiming for...

Re: Target vs. condition - potential conflict

Can you give me a use case? Wizard's Test on Bright Gold Ring by hero player. So the example is: Wizard makes corruption check to be able to get rid of one pesky card in hand and be allowed to tap characters to support in response? I'm perfectly ok with allowing my opponent to do this if they made ...

Re: Target vs. condition - potential conflict

Sacrifice of Form by hero player if Wizard is possessing minion items. I was saving this "use case" for purpose of other topic. I would say that the use case is legal. Why it is legal I will try to explain in said topic. But I am curious about your (and other's) opinion. Thanks, I like th...

Re: Target vs. condition - potential conflict

Of course Driven as by a Madness does not target the allies and Messenger of Mordor does not target the items. But both are affecting them that is forbidden for non-Spells non-Magic events of opposite alignment (for FW player at least). I would think that allies counting as characters for combat (a...

Could this thread be moved into a main channel? As far as I know it is still up-to-date and relevant; no other place on CoE has the Balrog/CD reprint wording.

Re: New Platform for Playing: MeCCG Online

As you know, I'm very excited for this and the possibility of merging the GCCG, cardnum, and TTS players (and Mellon and OCTGN... not sure if anyone uses those and not the others though). Thanks for your efforts.

When can we test? :wink:
