I've got a few ideas for articles that I think would make for good examination of the game from a player's perspective. If you're interested, message me and let me know! I'm looking to have articles ready by the 17th of the month to keep the newsletter on schedule.

Ideas:

  • Power combos: after all, this is partially a card game, so what cards, when used in conjunction, make for an awesome attack or ability use? (I'd like this to emphasize recent releases, so this might become a recurring feature.)
  • Unique Foes: similar to above, what minion can you load up with powers and swaps that makes a truly formidable opponent? (New working title: I can do better than that!)
  • Bringing the Heat: how you as a player got used to playing Hot Swaps (or maybe you're still getting acclimated to the concept) and how you manage the Swap Buffer in play.
  • Two word heroes: distill your character concept down to two words to strengthen your core vision: example Sharps = bitter foundling? (Maybe make this a full blown article - five steps to creating an Untold character easily (since you can't just say I'm lvl 2 fighter so I'm +X with Y HP etc))

If you have a concept for an article about Untold from a player's perspective, please pitch it and we'll see where it can go!

I intend to submit an article

I intend to submit an article to you next week entitled "The Care and Feeding of Your Untold Cards," about how to build a play-friendly deck box/card binder/etc. Will this be good for you, or should I send it to Ashy for the site instead?

I sent an original email on the 8th and a follow up on the 13th. Let me know here if you got either message.

Recieved, just swamped

A good bit behind schedule on Untold bits -- work went onto overdrive-hectic, but is calming down now.

You and me both!

Yea, basically from the week of the 4th until now I've been uber-busy. Things are clearing up now and we're about to see a WHOLE LOTTA activity on the site. :D

Bump!

I've got a few articles that I'm told are en route, but I'd love to hear from anyone interested in contributing to the newsletter. Check out ideas at the start of this thread or hit me with something totally out there! It's all good! ;)
