One Piece TCG Retrospective


 Say what you like about the anime the game was based on, there is no denying the card game absolutely rocks! The One Piece Trading Card Game has done something that many a game has failed to do, streamlined, beginner-friendly trading card game that you can open and start playing.

EPIC Ipswich had 2 Super Pre-releases for the game on Saturday the 1st of October. The 12 PM session and the fully booked 6 PM games. Every attendee took home their deck and promo pack and had the chance to purchase one of each starter deck on the day. I could go on and talk about the logistics and who won but the really exciting thing I would like to talk about today is the future of the game!

Booster packs, more decks and sanctioned events are going out within a year, the EPIC community is already coming in on Wednesday nights to play unsanctioned games with their starter decks. Moreover Judges are now being nominated across Australia for sanctioned games and tournaments, proudly I am aware of two patrons that are already putting their hands up.

All I can say is if you didn't do the pre-release, please, please, please watch some of the videos for gameplay. This is one of those games that I expect to grow much like Flesh and Blood did. Like me you don't have to have any of the 1000+ episodes in the anime.

Your Friend and Ally,

Luffy Lachy

Fblthp has a new hospitality job?

  The Lost Adventures of Fblthp - entry 3 See previous entry here Fblthp has a new hospitality job? Lisa Cooke had finished her training and rushed off to her work at the local Hotel, she had only arrived when she went to grab her ID from her bag when she found a stowaway in her bag! Fblthp was busted, here is a photo Lisa sent me to report the out-of-control plushie. Now remember, I had thought Fblthp dead after I last saw him being carried away by a pelican, so to say I was surprised that he had gotten so incredibly lost and moreover harassing EPIC Ipswich's patrons, I did the only thing I could think. Like any homunculus who found himself without a job and indebted to someone or something (looking at you Azorious Senate), he was put to work. It began menial, helped Lisa and her lovely boss set up, placing cutlery and decorating tables. The menial task ran dry as both individuals realised a homunculus probably couldn't carry trays or walk around the floor when it was busy.  ...

It was 2AM on the 19th of August and whilst the rest of my household was sleeping, I was watching YouTube. Am I a chronic insomniac? Yes. Am I currently typing this in my cardboard box that I now live in at EPIC? Also yes. Am I excited to tell you about the new and upcoming stuff from Magic the Gathering and Dungeon and Dragons parent company Wizards of the Coast?....
