Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Sheer madness!
also, the War for the Overworld sounds interesting.

It's in beta now but basically:
1) Certain games now drop cards for playing them
2) with some savy trading you get a whole set of cards
3) this makes you a doodad
4) your steam account levels up to give you more way sot show off your doodads.
So TCG + crafting + Leveling = Digital crackThe Valve Card Beta
Though I still think the limited number of cards is kinda silly.
you're dlc shouldn't cost more than the game
It looks like there's 8 cards per game, but you can only get 4 on your own?
How does that work? do you get 'extra' drops or something? How would you fill out your list?
Also do we know what the time requirements are for drops and if past playtime counts?
I pronounce it bee-log.
Going to be impossible to get them all (unless you buy them I guess)
I downloaded and installed, played for a while, and haven't gotten any drops. So I'm unsure, but leaning towards no.
I'm always looking for new steam friends!
I'm only level 6, and I really don't want to waste all my current cards not being able to get foils.
Sell that shit.
I pronounce it bee-log.
After sinking an aircraft carrier I pop out again looking for him and instead see a message from @striderjg with a code. I'm thinking he's got some extra trading card invites and plug it in but nope. Instead it was Crusader Kings II. So I thank him and figure it's a good time to take a smoke break while it's downloading. Finished up, came back upstairs and there's ten more codes! This man is crazy! It's what I assume has to be all the DLC as well. There can't be more than ten right?
So it looks like when I'm not playing BL2 this weekend I'll be watching YouTube tutorials for CKII in preparation for what I hear is a game that's practically dangerous in it's ability to compress time. If I starve to death or die from sleep deprivation you all know who to blame.
I pronounce it bee-log.
So here I am
It's fine. Well, as fine as GFWL can be. It won't do anything useful, but at least it won't really get in your way either.
Or, we could just link the page.

So about the same as on PS3. :P
I just got into Simple, and apparently have 2 invites that I would assume will actually get you in. If anyone is interested, let me know. If a bunch of people want in, I'll figure out something, perhaps a fight to the death. :P
There's an easy to install mod for that.
It does require another mod to run, but you should install that one anyways, it's the resolution fixer.
I might have to. My graphics card just failed while trying to get another foil. First hour in playing this trading card thing and it broke everything.
Just my luck
(I think it is my graphics card. I am not awesome at diagnosing problems.)
... or that it's fucking with me.
One or the other.
I don't know if Steam Bucks will get you a new graphics card, but okay.
Anyway, where do we make trade requests? I need a Wolfgang to complete my Don't Starve set. I have a Gordon Freeman to trade.
I pronounce it bee-log.
Yeah, I have never tried the marketplace. Money saved is money earned though, and Steam money is close enough!
My attempt to slay my backlog.
Debating if it's worth it to buy something in DOTA2 so I can try for some foils there, but with my luck, I'm sure I'd get nothing.
Though, my proposed New Account Card Farming Plan is looking better and better all the time.

So far, yes. Theres been quotes floating around saying there won't be resets on the drop amount, but it isnt confirmed on any website or anything. You get the cards allotted to you per game then you can trade ones you don't want for ones you do. Theres 5 levels of badges, so you'd need 5x however many you need for the first badge per game.
