I'll also end up buying direchasm. I feel the Pokémon syndrome kicking with this game.

Yeah.... It would be nice if GW sold packs of the Universal Cards so that folks wouldn't have to buy every boxed set and warband to build their decks...
Don't forget some cards have been banned and shit, too.

Technically all the universals I own are no longer valid for organized play, as they all came from seasons 1 and 2. I don't own any of the banned cards though, and I do have a list of the restricted cards, so I can play what was legal when I last played.
I never actually set out to own all the cards, so I only picked up the warbands I wanted to play and the two card packs they released. One was a deck focused on universals for leaders and the other was all the universals from the second season starter box. I wasn't interested in those warbands or more boards, so it was nice to have the option to get just the cards. Seems like they decided not to release more packs of just cards.

Yeah I doubt they will do card packs anymore. I'm not trying to go full competitive...yet, so I'm good with just buying warbands that look cool.

Was at SBT today. Mark would be more than happy with some games happening at the shop but the game room space has been reduced so we would need to plan ahead.

So, I was looking bat the two sets I have, and noticed something: the cards have different backs. I suppose that means I can't use the older cards.
If people are free day time though, I'm usually good Monday all day, and Tuesday afternoon. You know, for what it's worth.

There are objective/scoring cards and there there are spell/ability/equipment cards.
Or do you mean the pattern on the back is different from modern prints? If so... That's some.... Fucking GW...

Yeah, I mean the design/pattern on the back of the card.

What about using card sleeves with opaque backings? *shrugs*

I'm going to level with you, I forgot such thing existed, hahaha. Been a long time since I last played a card game.

Really we are just starting so I wouldn't worry too much about what is "legal" let's just roll some dice and see where it goes.

Are they special dice with icons, or regular dice with numbers? I ask as if they have icons, I'll need to get the core set.

They have icons. There's also a set of magic dice with different icons, if you happen to have a spell caster in your warband.
As far as the regular dice go, I have a couple of sets, so you could just have those if you didn't want to buy some.
You can get them outside of the core box though. Each team has it's own set you can buy separately. They all have the same symbols, but come in different colours. There's also a magic dice set you can buy instead of a core set (what I did when magic was introduced in season 2).
The slightly more difficult part is the tokens. In most of those cases you could use a d6 to stand in though. Again, I probably have extras of some I'd be willing to part with. I got a bunch of the plastic ones to replace the cardboad tokens. My last store had a shadespire night and participated in all the free promo stuff.

I'll have extra tokens as well to loan...may have ordered direchasm off of SBT lol
Apparently from what I'm reading the early warbands are really fun in the direchasm season.
