What's up with all of the negativity here about this set...? Jeez Louise, and I'm being serious. It's up to us, Promoter. |

For me, a set like this leaves me with more questions than answers. What am i supposed to do w these cards? I’m not starting my fed over. Is that the idea? With the EC set being released are we all supposed to start our feds over now? Then use these cards as each new year arrives?
These cards could have been a second Merapis set. They could have been an FTR set. They could have been Kronos cards. So why “Secret History” was decided on when other, better existing options exist is confusing.
Will Secret History continue or is this just a set that is happening because the app project died? This could be a set full of male characters from across time and the same hesitancy would be there. I’ve got lots of dollars invested in other COTG ventures (like FTR) and would much rather see those stories continue than scrap them for this.

I think the Kronos idea is a good one.

I think the "secret history" stuff is throwing everyone for a loop. Maybe calling the set a Supplement set or something might have been a better idea.
Could have described characters backstory but then leave it open ended so you could drop the character in any part of the timeline. Not everything needs to fit a narrative sometimes, sometimes leaving it open ended for the promoter to decide where they have needs and fitting them in might be the way to go.

To me, this set represents more of a comic book style, in storytelling sense, it makes you relook and rethink what you've seen. "Secret" to me goes right along with alternate reality. Tom's been a huge fan of comics and it's been showing over the years!

Tom's been a huge fan of comics and it's been showing over the years! Personally, I think Tom should stick to what he sells... and what customers have been faithful to supporting. Remember the Star Warrior / Thantos "comic book thing" that was attempted and dropped in the past? Tom doesn't write comic books. This game isn't Osk's phone game. This a a universe that has been followed faithfully for decades by wrestling fans. The only way this project works is if it's for collectors, people restarting their feds, or for specific Kronos purpose. It's fine this is being produced, but what about the faithful that have no use for it. It's another "waiting period" for CotG players. FTR should have really been a full promotion like NXT. It should still be taking place. CotG has so much history and faithful players to be this... ...I'll stop there. |

Merapis is the setting of Best of COTG.

I just don't think the art is very good. That's my issue. I don't care about the stats, the theme, the fact it's women, none of that matters. In my opinion, the art doesn't live up to the standards that Filsinger set for themselves so I'm not buying it. If anyone thinks it goes deeper than that, talk to a wall, you'll get a better argument from it.

The art looks like Bendis art to me. Which I'm a fan of. I've actually only disliked Su's art. I plan on putting these ladies into my Kronos fed. I haven't played strict canon for a decade.
