[throwingtoasters]

I purchased the new 2nd printing of the LOW Starter set to check out the differences.  Mostly cosmetic but there are a few game tweaks.  If I missed any, comment with them below.


ALL CARDS
- Printing on back is crisper than previous versions

INDIVIDUAL CARD CHANGES

Rob Van Dam
- Mechanic wording on bottom of card different. VAN TERMINATOR DQ changed from 7 to 6.

Randy "Macho Man" Savage
- Mechanic wording on bottom of card different. Flying axe-handle outside the ring now a 'roll one die' mechanic working on rolls of 1. No longer once per match.

- Mechanic wording on the bottom tweaked. No change to mechanic.

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan
- DQ 2x4 chart moved from the back of the card to the handbook.

I haven't gotten this yet but when Uncharted Territory was talking about possibly doing this it came after they'd read Buddy Rogers book and wanting to change a few moves on his card.

I'd miss pin using ropes. Loved that for Rogers. Rest for Rogers seems nice.

As for the rest, dislike Curt's, the others are fine.

Has there been any word on either updating the online cards or making a new set available with the updated stats?

[luke929]

If not, can someone ask during the q&a on Sunday? I may not be able to log in at that time...

Yeah, the LOW team ain't fooling us. This whole endeavor was solely so Tim Dalton could claim final victory in the War for Curt Hennig's Turnbuckle Rating--everything else is a smokescreen.

I'm half-surprised that the Brody card didn't just have "down - 3" for every single Defensive roll aside from his PIN.

The tweaks seem sensible to me... Any idea if there are plans to have these changes reflected online?

Bumping up this thread, as I just received my own printed copy of the reprint. (Thanks, Todd the Tournament Master!) One other thing that I didn't see mentioned on this thread was that Lou Thesz's L2O #4 move went from a "-2 (ch C)" to a "-3 (ch E)."

SO, again I ask... Are we getting the changes online at some point? No one seems to want to answer that for some reason.
