Truth be told I don't know the expansions well enough myself to confirm, lol, but it was the deck that has expansion guys like the lizards on the reverse side art, yeah.

I have to post this picture of an incredibly funny thing that happened in this same game of Root:

God, this just got me too, brain instantly went like "Bionicles?!"

I mean, there absolutely were people in the room (read: Rik Alvarez) who really *did* want all that material to fit together and tried to make it do so whenever they had the opportunity to directly influence stories, but the crushing weight of reality generally put a stop to that as a grand plan.

The Binder had it that Unicron was out there slumbering in space, and that a final war against him would be the final part of an epic three-phase narrative!
And then Prime was like "actually we're gonna say he's inside Earth, and that's going to be our season 1 finale."

you can make the 'a vote for labour is a vote for farage' argument in a vote splitting sense now the greens are doing so well if you like, but it is also true in the more immediate sense of them having the same fucking politics

Apologies to people who followed me for my good posts and not for the board game Root destroying my brain. I swear these are killing it in the board game group chat.

(Love playing otters though)

I was genuinely shocked by the piss-take that is them charging $100 extra for the Misfits-coloured plastic box and $250 extra for the Holograms-coloured plastic box.

Everyone is always saying that Skybound needs to get IDW TF back in print, and they're not wrong, but it's upsetting to imagine how fucking bad the curation would inevitably be if and when it happened.

Not to be hyperbolic but I think it should probably be illegal for comic book publishers to embark upon expensive crowdfunded "definitive collection"-type releases without engaging some kind of Consulting Nerd who actually knows anything about the material they're trying to definitively collect.

God, come onnnnn Boom. I'd held off backing straight away because they hadn't confirmed the issue lists, "great" to see I was correct to be apprehensive, lol.

To be fair, that's not a million miles from original Rescue Bots being three kindly nerds and one surly asshole who clearly wishes he could say "fuck" on this children's cartoon.
