Player committee?
« on: September 19, 2008, 08:43:08 AM »
Hi there all!

Here over in spain, we still flop some mighty Lotr cards each week. Its a shame such a wonderful card game went to waste. Therefore I am wondering if someone is playing with the idea to make a Player committee?

To discuss formats, X-list, errata´s and maybe even a new set of cards (printable)

Open for suggestions here..

There's been one in the works for a while now, but mostly in the background. I'm just outside the inside loop on it, and I haven't heard anything about it for a few days. I should check in and see what the latest status is....

Short answer, though: yes, there is one slowly coming together, and I personally would expect to see it up and running by the end of the year. Just a guess, but seems like a good one with the rate things seem to be progressing.

Again, just a guess! Don't go and hold me to that, now. :P
Best regards,
Dáin

Yes, lots of talk but nothing as of yet.  Really the sooner the better, because the further you get from the last physical release the harder it is to garner interest.

DGMA = Decipher Game Management Authority.
(Which technically doesn't exist anymore)

Suppose we forge our player committee as the new Game Management Authority?
I'll help with the web design.  :hey:

(BTW - Don't go to the DGMA website, it's infected with a virus)
Bastards at Decipher can't clean their crap up after they abandon it...

In either case, I'd like to volunteer for the committee.  :up:

The LotR PC is now accepting applications!

We are looking to fill roles on the following teams:

- Card Design and Development
- Playtesting
- Rules
- Organized Play (including tournament directors)
- Marketing
- Web Design and Programming

Vince, Chris and I would like all those interested in being a part of the PC Team to send us an email outlining:

- Your qualifications,
- Why you think you'd be a strong candidate (and on which team),
- What you enjoyed in sets 1-19, and why,
- What you didn't enjoy in sets 1-19, and why not,
- When you started playing LotR.

We really want to put together a high-caliber team, so contact us soon at LotRTCGPC@gmail.com if you're interested! Remember to include examples of work you've done if you're interested in Card or Web Design or Marketing.

If you would like to know what it will be like, please see swccgpc.com or trekcc.org - we will be modeling ourselves after and working with these groups in order to be successful. As of yet, the PC is not officially sanctioned by Decipher and is only NOW being formed. However, those in charge of its formation (Vince Accetturo, Chris Schoenthal and I) have all been Decipher volunteers and played in and judged world championship level events. In addition, Vince and Chris were both highly respected playtesters for a number of years (even though Decipher really didn't listen to playtesters during Hunters Block), and were both as much a part of this game as anyone at Decipher for a long time.

Basically what I'm saying is this:

- There is no info that can be passed along at this time about the LotR TCG PC, other than we are looking for the best and brightest to join our ranks.
- Those involved in its inception can be trusted to do it right, and with the fans and players of the game in mind.

Well I'm definitely interested and sent in an app for either the Rules or Playtesting teams. nicholas.barden@gmail.com

Good to have a group of players in charge as opposed to a money making organization that botched the game with RoS and T&D (though it did give us broken-deck players a heyday, but we prefer to leave that to open, not standard).

I might be interested in playtesting. How much time will I have to invest into playtesting?

I applied for design ages ago, but I've got no reply. What's happened with this?

Wow! That is rather cool!

I am quite impressed about what here is going on  \:D/

I would like to help either in web design or to act as international cooperation team member.

You know, it is far easier to work within an authorized team than handle the players sprinkled all over the world!

You gave away your life's grace. I cannot protect you anymore.

I'm leaving this up to Vince and Chris to handle, manage, and otherwise take care of. What's always mattered to me with this game has been to have fun while playing or building decks - winning was secondary, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a goal.

As I've spent more and more of my time in the TLHH (and previously CC) forums being made to feel like an idiot for not using NPE tactics, I've now decided that it is time to move on from this game, and concentrate my free time on Star Wars CCG and other activities not called LotR.

No, I will not be getting rid of any of my cards, so don't ask. Though I dislike where some people try to take this game, it is still great at its core, and I want to be able to play this game with my kids someday.

and we need to debate a movieblock x and r list. The 1 that there is now doesn't make sense. For example Bill the Pony is x-ed where a r-rating should be ok and Redeemed isn't even there....
