Back in the day when magazines were a thing (remember those? Good times) they would occasionally come with a card from a game I knew nothing about. Usually that game would also be featured on a couple pages, but I would never have read that if it wasn't for the physical card they included. Just goes to show how invested people become if they own even just a single card.
Nice sneaky Ina stand~ I do hope some new brick and mortar game stores open up after all of this is over. While the social aspect is the most important thing to me, I see how the various strategies of promos/organized play can really help boost a scene and its game store. If organized play was allowed everywhere, that would be too much travelling for me and diminish how I would value each location.
8:50 so basically make business cards, that has a character, and make it look like a card, sounds like Valentine cards but with extra steps, I'll try that.
Actually, just straight up print cards. Or be like my Takaaki Kidani card and print your business cards on card stock with your game's card back on it.
Back in the day I loved going to *Pokémon League and Yu-Gi-Oh! League;* getting your little pamphlet completed to get some *free goodies* was always so much fun! 😃
are jimothys just code for speculative buyers? on that note i would be interested in hearing about a Errata Text on the TCG secondary market and how its changed throughout the years. Wasn't too long ago that people didnt just whip out their cellphone and look up a card on TCGplayer or other specialty retailers to gauge value when doing sales or trades and i'd like to hear your thoughts on it.
MtG works a lot like Yu-Gi-Oh does it seems, because the store I _used_ to go and play my MtG pre-releases stopped getting pre-release kits because of low turn out so now I'm going to a different store.
You should make a video on the homemade trading card game community. There is big discord for it and tons of videos from smaller younger creators who are interested in making this sort of game. Most of them use the game crafter to make their games and it would be such a cool video to add new perspective on!
Man, i still cannot believe how that MetaZoo already has a second set when its been impossible to get basically since release. Shame. At this point I’m not really inclined to bother with it at this point- especially now that i picked up Digimon
Sadly I feel the same, been only buying singles to play with but it still feels like a pump and dump for the company and not an actual game. This makes me sad since I actually like the game
it real interesting and i hoped you do more research into it. i saw the final fantasy tcg handing out statues? as trophies and thought it was pretty cool.
I haven’t run a Pokémon League forever, but I remember running them in Libraries in the past. The kits were free back then, and as long as you were in good standing with the company and had a space that qualified anyone could start a league. You got a base amount of promos and as you signed people up and got them to connect with organized play the amount of promos and other league supply increased based on how many confirmed accounts you had registered.
Oh if you want a failed story about organized play. I can definitely tell you about the failed project that was the transformers trading card game organized play attempt. If you haven't heard about that or read about it already. Because that was a disaster. In fact the more you think about it the way wizards handled the whole card game was a disaster almost like they wanted it to fail
7:10 HE MENTIONED ORIGINS!!! I grew up at that con. They made my baby brother have a bracelet. Would always play in the Pokemon League there. Stopped because all my cards stopped being usable one year.
Promo cards are one of the best bits of any tcg or ccg they've one of the smartest ways to promote the game as well as giving unique ways to uptain cards like fast food/junk food promotions, magazine gifts, going to events or store to pick them up and in boxes/tins. Promos are inportant to an tcg for promoting, reprinting cards and for getting people hook onto the game or collecting.
In my defense, I was dealing with Organized play from both the player and the demoer side before and had it entirely glossed over to explain it. Yes, I demoed a TCG once, before te game lasted less than a year. Apparently only Netrunner is allowed to be a successful game for card games based on a cyberpunk dystopia. Which is funny when it certainly wasn't the last time we would see Night City show up in a non tabletop RPG form. The only other game that I have any OP time in is Magic. Magic has been getting strained of late, and not just due to the pandemic.
The big events at big conventions thing being a good way to demo a game to a card game audience is a very good idea, I know london comic con is the same time and place as ycs london (which for those who dont know, is the biggest yugioh event in the UK)
Chikorita in the background just sliding into the void

Yeah, also as he said,
If you make it a fun reward,
People will look into it.
And maybe 99% doesn't really care,
But it's that 1% you wanted to reach.
chikorita moved at 3:22
I remember the free promos from playing YGO at Books a Million
Nice sneaky Ina stand~

Yeah I was sitting here wondering how his acrylic Ina stand would be relevant for the video
Hmm
What does our priestess have to do with organized play

Here is a great idea just leave cards around the convention with maps to your table on it
I see that Ina stand Kohdok! One of us! One of us!
you should do a collab with Rudy, where you explain Jimmothys and he explains Timmys!!
Oh hey, it’s Ninomae Ina'nis
Don't know why they had the rest of the things on the table when she was Inaff.
when the title is OPFollowup
Christmas present indeed…thank you
There is an Ina, sweet mother of an Takodachi there's a Ina, WAH!
WAH!
10:45 People like Easter Egg hunts about anything, I'll try that too.
3:20 the chicoritta perler bead thing falls over in the background. It's funny and I don't know why

oh damn ive never actually gotten to say this
second
fun
dont think i dont notice that beautiful angelmon
What do you think about organised remote play?
Man, i still cannot believe how that MetaZoo already has a second set when its been impossible to get basically since release. Shame. At this point I’m not really inclined to bother with it at this point- especially now that i picked up Digimon
Sadly I feel the same, been only buying singles to play with but it still feels like a pump and dump for the company and not an actual game. This makes me sad since I actually like the game
I still have my pokemon league badges from when I was like 9 years old lol
Do you plan on tackling Yu-gi-oh Rush Duel ?
That's a Nice Ina acrilic.
it real interesting and i hoped you do more research into it. i saw the final fantasy tcg handing out statues? as trophies and thought it was pretty cool.
Kinda off topic, but where did you get that anglemon toy(/figure?)? It seems cute and I want one
I never paid for my pokemon organized play kits
Here when title is OPFollowup
Oof RUclips messed up my edits again. Thanks for the heads up!
@@Kohdok Since you're still here reading comments I'd like to point out the follow up for the LCG video is still called ECGFollowup
@@AztecCroc ...but that's the correct title.
@@Kohdok It is? It's the exact same format the original OPFollowup title on this though?
@@AztecCroc well the ECG Follow-up,
Is just about ECGs, this one is a bit broader.
hmm
Falling cactus
When that green thing in the background started moving I was like... "What the heck is that?!" Lmao 🤣
Great follow-up Kohdok! 😃👍
It’s a Chikorita, I think

There was a local store near me that used to sell the extra MTG pre-release kits to someone who led a boy scout troop for cost plus a dollar and tax.
3:21 who else was confused by the movement in the background?

Everyone has their specialties,
If we were experts in everything
Life would be boring.
I'm making my own card game, and I'm wondering if you can criticize it so I can smooth it, also probably can help me create something new.
3:22 Chikorita in the background hidding in shame
I'm a tough gamer!
Wah!
