Hey Everyone Happy Friday!



Thought I would jump in here. I mean with a thread called CORY WATCH, how could I not!? ...I think Nero Jinous is watching a bit to closely... I may need an adult



So before we get to the update, let me clear something up. We closed a thread about artist payments the other day and we let you know I would be addressing it. That was actually I miscommunication on our side (I was out of the office). We are addressing it with the artist, not the players. Sorry for the confusion. I will address this briefly as it has been brought up… we are a small company and self-publishing is challenging. Unexpected costs can disrupt carefully managed cash flow and create problems. We have fixed the problem and the artist issue has been addressed.



That said, I want to make it clear—these boards are for discussing the game, community, and gameplay. They are not for discussing the backend business of HEX. I’m sorry if that rubs you the wrong way, but there are reasons we need to make this distinction. Occasionally, we discuss that stuff in posts that HEX starts, and at those times we are inviting you to discuss those issues with us, but this is something we will initiate. I know the natural response of a TCG gamer… “but whatabaout…” “well can we….” No. There is no rules lawyering here. We will, at our discretion, delete threads that are not about HEX the game and the constructive building of the game and its community.



As to the Update!



Immortal Gauntlet!

This has been in the works for some time. We wanted to make sure our current partner (Hex Primal) was part of the plan so as not to disenfranchise them. Sometimes this stuff takes a bit longer as we try and manage it with everyone’s needs in mind.



I am super excited for this. I love playing Immortal, and I love all the crazy decks you guys bring to the format! Plus, I am really happy with the AA cards. The War Machinist looks better with Extended Art though…



Merry Melee!!



I think I am liking this one a bit more than “Who’s The Boss.” Don’t get me wrong, playing those crazy decks was hilarious… but the shear RNG madness of this is just so much fun. It’s just about the wackiest formant we have ever had. It is really fun figuring out the flow of RNG formats. It’s clear this is very different from Corinth, and each one brings such an interesting take on the game. I am super happy we put this stuff in. It’s exciting to use our HUGE database of cards used in such a different and fun way. I also need to thank the community for this format suggestion. I got it directly off the forum… so yes, we listen!



Siege Sack update…



We will continue to tune the Siege experience. I told you when it first came out that this was a lump of clay we would keep molding until it was right. I warned you this would be a long process, and that it will only get better in small ways until it’s just right. BUT, I don’t want to give up on the concept. We think it has huge potential and we will keep at it. In the meantime, I hope you are enjoying the rewards. I think the new resources are super cool.



We have some great tournaments coming as always, and the VIP cards look sweet (Emsee is another one that is a bit better extended)



Also, the shout out to Blackwood for the Pappy Jasper event… amazing! I love it. Thank you very much Blackwood.
