Danmaku!! Let me AX you a question

[Moogs Parfait]

Big big question/clarification here.

We were playing a game with a Reisen. Someone spell carded. The target of that spell card used Capture Spell Card to copy Reisen's spell card to cancel it and redirect, but Reisen herself spell carded to cancel the Capture Spell Card. What can Reisen do in this case? Does Reisen cancel Capture Spell Card or the copied spell card? As in, can Reisen copy the entirety of Capture Spell Card and choose another player's spell card to copy? or is it only copy the previously copied spell card? or does it copy Reisen's copied spell card? In that last case, what does that spell card do? Since Reisen is copying her own spell card at that point, which does nothing without a different spell card to copy.

To add to this, what happens if someone bombs/Keine spell cards Reisen's spell card?

Okay so Cirno activates her spell card.

Reisen does too, cancelling Cirno's and copying it...

But wait!

2P Reisen activates and targets 1P Reisen's.  She cancels it then copies it, to cancel and then copy Cirno's spell.

Flavor wise Reisen creates a trap illusion that causes someone else's spell card to have different targets, so in the double Reisen situation it's an illusion within an illusion like a chapter of Death Note.

Keine can then declare "Stand in the hall!" and cancel 2P Reisen's double illusion copy of Cirno's spell, and the only thing that happens is 4 players now have to cooldown their spell card and Keine smacks someone with a piece of chalk.


Edit:  While we're on the subject, if Reisen bombs Remilia, the spear breaks probability and hits everyone =D

The main issue wasn't so much Reisen targeting her own spell card as much as it was with Capture Spell Card, which I believe results in Reisen copying the spell card itself rather than Capture Spell Card, since Capture Spell Card is an Invocation card but Reisen's spell card refers specifically to cancelling and copying spell cards. After that, Reisen can cancel and copy the original spell card (as Moogs stated).

Moogs will probably correct me if I got that wrong.

[Moogs Parfait]

That's correct.  You basically never respond to invocation cards directly, as invoking causes that card to become the spell card.

[Spotty Len]

I have a question concerning Alice's Spell Card.

If there is no Item left in either the Discard pile or the Main Deck, are we stuck in an infinite loop? Or do we stop when there is no more deck?

[Moogs Parfait]

Stop when there's no more deck.

Also I got international shipping costs down. Over 20% for 1 and 50% for 2

[Moogs Parfait]

(Closed) AX Volunteers needed!

This is a volunteer position. It requires at least 4 hour commitment per day (16 hours total over the con).
The responsibilities include staffing our space in the game hall, teaching players how to play Danmaku!!, answering questions, and running games with new players. You will not need to sell or handle merchandise.
We can offer all volunteers the following:
* Exhibitor badge to Anime Expo (If you already have a general attendee badge, you can defer that badge to next year)
* Complimentary copy of Danmaku!!
* Up to 3 posters of ​Danmaku!! art
* ​Danmaku!! T-shirt (to be worn while staffing if not in cosplay)

Volunteers must provide their own  lodging and transportation to the convention.

[NekoNekoRex]

Wish I lived near LA.

Also I got to try to play the game for the first time yesterday. It was a learning experience, but I know enough now for next time I play.

[Moogs Parfait]

Was someone here besides Starlighthawk interested in non-Paypal payments?  I've gotten SquareUp setup though it kinda leaves a lot to be desired

[ZXNova]

I notice that some of the artwork is different on the tabletop simulator savestate... Like I'm looking at the first post (and the website) and the character art for Reimu is different the character art for Reimu in tabletop. This goes for Cirno as well. Also the art bomb, power, shoot and graze look different too. Why is this? Were there some art updates? Is it possible to change it?

[Moogs Parfait]

The TTS files do not contain the full art, more like an art preview while still being functional.  The full version doesn't contain chibi art for characters for instance, but fancypants illustrations.

[adzipl]

I wonder if other cards still contain only the logo, or some simple art?

[Moogs Parfait]

They contain art previews for the most part, since the logo was confusing new players.

Also our interview on Gensokyo Radio is finally up!

[Spotty Len]

I don't know if I'm allowed to do that, but I just wanted to share something that happened yesterday.



6 damage Master Spark is delicious.

[Moogs Parfait]

Totally legal, though usually very difficult

[Moogs Parfait]

Preparing for Anime Expo, here is the WIP tower of Danmaku!!  It's cheapest to ship the game with the flat rate boxes, because Danmaku!! is heavy.

[Monarda]

It's cheapest to ship the game with the flat rate boxes, because Danmaku!! is heavy.

But it's just projectiles made of energy, how can it be heavy ? :V

Seriously, i wish to you the best of luck and try to have as much fun as possible, i wish i could do more, but yea.

[Mеа]

AX Volunteers needed!

I sent a pm as well, but since this is a bit time sensitive, I'll ask down here too, so apologies if it seems a bit impatient. Is this offer still up? I'd rather be constantly helping out and communicating with fellow touhou fans (or fans to be) than aimlessly wandering around as usually happens for me.

[Moogs Parfait]

We are out of exhibitor badges for our group but you are more than welcome to come hang out and help as you like. The primary action will be at the game hall

[Mеа]

I was just going to mention about not needing whatever perks or whatever, but viewing the site, it seems like the exhibitor badge lets one in the hour before and after during setup/take down time in the exhibition hall. I won't force myself on if you really lack the space or don't need an extra pair of left feet to trip things up, but I'd rather have something to actually do, so if you can spare the space, what if I paid you for the worth of an exhibitor's badge to get one for me so I could help you out around the clock whenever?

[Moogs Parfait]

We are past the deadline for new exhibitor badges, but that's ok, you don't need an exhibitor badge to be on board, it just means we can't leave you alone at either location.  We'll be working in shifts too so there's no need to be there constantly as well. 

If you can commit to 4hrs/day I don't mind giving you the offered rewards minus the tshirt since we already ordered those.  If you already have a badge send your confirmation email to contact@mysteryparfait.com.  If you have Facebook send our page a message   https://www.facebook.com/DanmakuGame/

Also I'm gonna close further volunteering now.

[Mеа]

Sorry if I seemed pushy, I hate being pushy, but I'd love to be on board! -- I can commit 4 hrs/day, actually gives me something fun to do. This is kinda a last minute thing since I just found out about our lord and savior ZUN showing up, and this volunteering thing was the last deciding factor for me, decision-wise anyway. I'm going to hope to get everything else sorted out within the next day and a half and send notifications to either of those you linked. If I absolutely cannot get anything worked out, I'll send you a pm.
But thanks so much! If all works out, I'll be super super looking forward to this!

With my current semester finally over (no more exams (for now)!), my pals from university met up to have a barbecue at a friend's place, and I brought Danmaku!! along as well.
Somehow, I could convince (read: bribe) 4 out of 11 people (both times excluding myself) to play the game.
According to them, they had a lot of fun playing the game, although they had some difficulty getting into it. From my perspective, they played rather well, though.
...
And of course, I forgot to take the rules book home with me. (Thankfully I know the rules in and out anyway, so I'm in no need to go and get the rules back.) xD

Game story time!
We had Sakuya (me, Stage Boss)
Satori (Challenger)
Meiling (Ex Mid Boss)
Remilia (Heroine)
and Miko (poor sod, Phantom Boss)

We start the game, I'm done explaining the "basic" rules, and our first incident is Saigyou Ayakashi Blooming. Could have been better, considering people had some trouble with the max hand size rule (probably due to me explaining it badly), so swing draw at the beginning of the game was a little confusing for some. xD; 
Remilia declared war with everybody (mostly with her boyfriend, Meiling, though), and attacked Meiling.
Miko used her first turn to piss both stage bosses off somehow (thanks to a power), and paid with it in blood.
I used both 1-ups I had in my starting hand (and that even though I handed out one card at a time. That luck, man xD), and attacked Miko.
Satori did the rest and killed Miko in round one. Sorry. ^^;
(After the game Miko's player still claimed he had fun, though.)
The Ex Mid Boss revealed himself (I didn't know the exact wording anymore, so I just said "in case anyone has the Ex Mid, we all look at our roles and take a look if Ex Mid had to reveal after Ex Boss' death. Thankfully I did so, otherwise the Ex mid wouldn't have revealed himself as he had forgotten about that part, too. Understandably for a first time player. Not so much for myself, though. xD; )
The Challenger convinced me to kill the Ex Mid ("It's easier if we take out the Ex Mid since he's lower on life!"), and then it was a two on one game. Statori and Sakuya vs. Remilia.
I somehow drew another 1-up (>.>; ) to heal Satori.
We destroyed Remi.
I felt bad for destroying the first time players. xD;
Though, as she noted later, it was Satori who killed everyone, so it wasn't all my fault?  :3
Interestingly enough, most Gungnirs had been thrown by Satori. I think Remi hadn't thrown a single one, now that I think about it. xD;

All in all, the players had fun (or so they said), but didn't agree to my threats suggestions to buy the game, too. I tried, Moogs. xD

[Moogs Parfait]

I was about to ask if they were drinking but Germans

Getting feedback from many sources I have absorbed 2 facts:

1.  Danmaku!! is a great Beer & Pretzels game
2.  Danmaku!! is a great Touhou gateway game

I think people have to already be anime nerds to make the jump to purchase if they're not explicitly Touhou fans, but I'm still proud of that.  It paid off to have art that you aren't embarrassed to show in public

[ShadowNCS]

I was about to ask if they were drinking but Germans

In fact, most of the beers drunken were alcohol-free. But we DID have an alcoholic dessert...

But someone DID suggest we should do a drinking game.
"Take a shot every time you're hit!"
"No, take a shot every time you Shoot!"
Me "You'd be drunk in no time!"
"That's the point!"
Damn, they are right! xD

[Moogs Parfait]

We may or may not be working on official drinking game rules  :3

"Take 3 drinks when someone else gets hit by Lily White"

[jester147]

I have a friend who bought one. Then we played together with other friends. After playing I checked all the incident cards, and I saw Lily White.

The effect is really BS lol. Hope the RNG doesn't hate you, if not say goodbye for your 3 lives.

Also Saigyou Ayakashi's Blooming is also pretty BS. Just imagine everyone has 1 life with no 1UP. Last one in the cycle wins lol.

[Moogs Parfait]

[ShadowNCS]

I see we have another instance of Lily DEATH.
How long will it take until it is an actual part of the fandom? xD

Edit: Then again, "haru DEATH yo~!" is part of the fandom already.

[PhantomSong]

It's like Lunatic PoFV, man.

[Spotty Len]

This should have been the artwork of the card.

3 people died, Moogs. THREE OF THEM.

(And two of them were Stage Bosses, come on, Heroine killed me after that. :c )
