Not sure where to put it and couldn't find the older thread...
Also, I only got the first half of the Twitch. I'll see if I can watch the other half of the Twitch, but there you go for now.
Not in Word this time! :)

Thanks! Lots of cool stuff there. Writhe's incap side shows a different entity (not his shadow suit), etc. Christopher dodged a question from rath_wolf, but the original question didn't make it into the transcript. What was the original question?
You made a mistake when collating one of my questions
> Arcanist_Lupus: @Gtgchristopher Will OblivAeon explain what makes Baron Blade and Ambuscade go back to their villainous ways in Tactics?
>> GTGChristopher: @Arcanist_lupus We'll certainly do something with that character. At some point.
My question was actually about whether we'd see the villain incapping PW Tempest. The question about Blade and Ambuscade was answered later.
Right before he left, I had this exchange with Christopher:
I wonder if the Ennead might be allies that can come to our aid from the mission decks? And maybe that's why he didn't come out and say yes or know.
Oh the Enead as support would be cool.
Also I didn't know there was going to be an RPG is there a place I can read more details?
There might be something in the News blog, probably from last summer. It's being developed by Cam Banks (@boymonster on Twitter), Dave Chalker (@davethegame), and Phil Menard (@chattydm). There was a preview event at Gen Con last summer.
Oh alright cool, I'll be keeping my eyes out for that I'd love to play in that universe.

This will take you to the old public thread where they talked about the game!
At the end of the stream, Adam said that the Infinity Cannon he'd drawn (with Expatriette holding it) would have the keyword "gun." She'll be able to play ammo on it! And I think the bloodstone Lifeline was holding is supposed to have the "relic" keyword. These are rewards from the mission deck.
That's pretty much how I interpreted it as well. Well, Off to BGG to make a Anubis & the Heroic Ennead deck. ![]()
Nothing too big, I had just asked if an element in Adam's current drawing was Hermetic's rock, and over the course of the drawing it became pretty clear it was.
We might see their artifacts, but I'm not sure if we will see them. We did see them die in one of the ARG comic covers.
it was said that allies could also be earned through missions. I'm thinking maybe one of them or all of them on one card.
Maybe this is how it works:
1) Ra is on the team of heroes fighting OblivAeon
2) Mission is completed; Reward is earned; Ennead are the reward
3) Ra and Ennead face down OblivAeon and are able to do damage to him (but just once) before getting hit for 5000 points of damage.
4) Ennead are dead; Ra somehow survives 5000 points of damage long enough for some last words to Fanatic.
The question was something like: Is that Heretic's stone?
Christopher's Reply: Who's Heretic?
Christopher also stated he knew who they were referring to and was trying to avoid the question.
I already did! Several months ago! And then someone else (don't remember their name now) put the cards together. Go ahead and check it out!
Reading through these I've decided Ronway asks the best questions and Peter asks... questions. Foote asks good ones too, really everyone does but Ronway asks the ones I'm wondering too.
Couple of interesting reveals that stood out to me:
-Dawn's cosmic power source is unrelated to OblivAeon.
-Aeon Men are created beings of OblivAeon energy
-Cosmic Contest will probably never be made
-Implied we might see Jansa and Citizen Dawn, (maybe as allies, I can see Jansa appearing in Lifeline's deck)
- A Ra promo, perhaps if we're good. Final stretch goal is six cards (perhaps promos of some of the nine heroes listed above with only one promo? If so which poor three get left out)
Edit: Its in a different thread so I'll list the nine here: Ra, ExPat, Fixer, NightMist, K.N.Y.F.E., Chrono-Ranger, Naturalist, Setback, and the Scholar
But don't forget that the heroes we're getting this time will still only have one promo, plus Parse, Sky-Scraper and the Sentinels, which are getting something this time but will still only have Promo when the campaign is done.
All in all, I count that's 29 cards we'd need to bring every hero deck up to at least two promos.
So…not gonna happen for everyone…
Can someone please post the 2nd half of the chat?
Thanks!
Two of those were my questions! (I asked about Dawn's power and the Aeon Men) ![]()
Since there might be a delay in the arrival of playtesting material (for a perfectly reasonable reason), I'll run these through my test script and post the results over in the BGG thread. Thanks!
I do ask questions! Hooray!
And such questions they are!
I would have thought that there would have been more questions about the mechanics of how OblivAeon works. I guess we will have a couple of weeks before we can ask those. Of course it woul help if I could actually attend the chat session. Anyway were there more questions about what shield cards were or anything like that in the second half of the chat?
I just watched the stream with rechat and I did not see any more questions about shield cards. Admittedly it was hard to keep track of which questions Adam was answering due to backlog and most of them scrolling off the screen before he got to them.
My hypothesis for the final stretch goal is promos for the following heroes:
KNYFE, Ra, The Scholar, Guise, NightMist, and then either Naturalist, Chrono-Ranger, or Cleverest Legacy.
Here’s my logic. Counting all the heroes that are not getting promos with this expansioni got these, the Freedom 5, Unity, The original 4 Dark Watch, and the Sentinels. Not counting completionist Guise. I don’t see the Sentinels getting anything, because of the Void Guard, and the Freedom 6+ ask have a whole bunch of promos as is. Plus, the Dark Watch are a group, so I don’t see them all getting promos.
As far as characters that are relevant to the story, The Scholar and Guise have been fighting off Aeon Men together for a while, which is why I think they are likely candidates. Ra hasn’t gotten a promo in AGES, and KNYFE if directly linked to this whole thing. And then there’s NightMist, with the whole “Be The Gate thing.”
That leaves 1 promo left. Honestly, I don’t see how relevant Chrono-Ranger and Naturalist are to this whole arc, and it would be a really fitting love letter to the fans to include, as the $1,000,000 stretch goal, the promo we’ve all been begging for, even though they’ve said that they weren’t going to.
Christopher reiterated yesterday that Cleverest Legacy is not getting a promo.
This is from memory,but Christopher described Scions as being double sided with rules on the front and back ,the scion card deck will apparently change what they can do a little, Christopher specifically said there were like the Ennead but different
I think the Scions will require you to defeat a certain number of them to get things needed to defeat Oblivaeon.
In that way they would be live the Ennead, in that card would work no matter who was out, and different ones woud come out during the fight, but different in that they aren't really a team.
Well, then that makes one empty spot, for either Chrono-Ranger or The Naturalist, assuming my logic holds.
I don't see Naturalist getting another promo; Desperate Prey seems to be 'difficulty controlling powers' and Tactics Naturalist appears to be 'GUYS I CAN'T CONTROL MY POWERS GUYS THIS SUCKS', so unless the next promo is further along that scale, I'm not feeling it.
So, Worst of Times Chrono?
The Renegade certainly seems to be having a much worse time of it than Best of Times Chrono.
I don't see Naturalist getting another promo either. Considering where we know his character is going in Tactics from Adams Art stream, his Desperate Prey incap art directly leads into Tactics. Unless they give you his full Chimera form as an SotM promo instead of saving it for a bigger Tactics payoff, I dont see where you would insert another promo for him.
Same with Best of Times Chrono, the incap art shows him being blasted by a gian energy beam (oblivAeon?) which would lead quite directly into Renegade's more horrifuc visage in Tactics
