It feels like they don't have a lot right now at launch and just merely have a lot "planned". What exactly is going on?

Still haven't read the black company, it's on the todolist, but never seem to get there... Mostly because I avoid reading at the moment, too addicting. I still haven't read The Crippled God D:
The Malazan series is super good though. Massively underrated, the quality of writing is better than most fantasy I've read, and the worldbuilding is worlds ahead of something like ASOIAF.

How haven't you finished the whole series wtf. Malazan is the series that got me back into reading after so long. It's one of the best fantasy epics ever written imo.
Black Company is great. Get on that too.

Gahlo I watched the tutorial and re-read your post and there's something I'm perplexed about. When you draft, you open your packs but there's only one dice per character. However, there can be multiple of a same character in all the packs opened.
So you choose one of the two characters in your pack, get one dice, pass it left, then receive the leftover character from your right neighbour. Or do you choose one amongst your 6 packs, then pass the leftover character+the other 5 packs to your neighbour? If you want several die, you'll have to pick your character several times, so even though you'll only field a character card once you can pick it several times for additional die. Plus, since there are different versions of a character, you can pick several of one character and decide which one you're going to play with at the end?
With 2 characters cards per pack you're going to have 24 characters/die total, and you build a pool of 8 characters (with their die) out of that. I guess most of the time you've only got 1-2 die for each or your characters, and it can be pretty important to have, say, 3 die of a single character to buy so you can up your chances of actually "drawing" it and getting to use it consistently?

Open pack one, put the cards down and dice go into the middle. Repeat for packs 2-6, making a stack of 12 cards. Repeat the above for pack 7-12, but putting the cards into a second stack. Those 12 card stacks get drafted from like a magic booster would.
Correct. So in my team I drafted 3 Songbird, 2 common and 1 uncommon so I had 3 dice(since they are the same) for the card I choose to put in my team. The dice get fielded, the card doesn't. The card is there to give context for the dice. As a side note, this is part of what makes Dice Masters affordable because if I wanted to have 4 dice for a $20 rare/super rare I can just get 1 copy of it(Dice Masters single are assumed to be a 1card/1die combo unless specifically stated otherwise) and 3 copies of the common for a fraction of the price. Usually it'll cost under $25 for the set as opposed to a similar situation in magic where I'd have to spend $80 for a playset.
How many dice of a card you want for a character/action depends on it's role. For some cards where you only have it so you can use the global ability, which doesn't require the die to be fielded, people only bring 1. When the character/action has some important ability that only happens when it's in the field or it's a strong expensive character the general rule is 2 in case it isn't rolled on a non-energy side or the die gets captured(kink of like an Oblivion Ring effect). 3 dice is generally reserved for lower cost cards that are essential to a strategy. 4 is rarely used unless it's super cheap.
In the draft I made a write up for I picked up 3 Songbirds so I can nullify blockers with her and using shield energy, with the addition that since her energy sides are shields they made that ability easier to pay for and opens more opportunities to buy other shield characters like Rescue and Captain America. This worked out because Songbird is a cheap character. In the test draft we did the day before that I ended up with 1 die for a lot of my lower cost characters while having 3 dice each for Giantman and Deathlock, who were expensive to buy and made actually getting there rough.

+ Show Spoiler [GoT Spoilers] +![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/9iYW2IO.jpg) I can't. I literally can't even right now. This isn't what I wanted or Deserved. I feel defiled. I have some musings as to what this means as a major whole to the story. Because it means a lot, however I'm going to bed and probably drinking heavily through lunch tomorrow.

+ Show Spoiler +In all seriousness, it's awesome that there exists time travel and telepathy in this story. I think the potential of the narrative goes way up with the existence of these elements. ASOIAF is finally starting to resemble GRRM's other works.

I was dumb and read a spoiler of the episode. I truly think this television series is going to ruin all anticipation of Winds of Winter for me. It all just seems awful.
Also I just remembered. Should I finish Darkest Dungeon? I should finish Darkest Dungeon.

Won't open spoiler tags for once, since one day I'll read the 4th book.
What I meant by "fielding" the cards Gahlo was that even though you end up with 24 cards you only select each, so in your case if you used the uncommon SongBird you still picked the common ones for their die. Apparently I got that right.

Playing one character in overwatch is like playing rock paper scissors and all you can play is a diamond lolol.

You should finish Darkest Dungeon. There's that whole new class to play with and they just added random Town events to bring the horrors to where you thought you were safe.
