[TTS] Looking for playtesters for TRANSCENDERS | The TCG — 3 asymmetric Starter decks (Cohort 01)
Hi everyone!
I’m the author and creator of TRANSCENDERS, a fantasy saga in which people known as Transcenders learn to shape Cenderessence — an extraordinary force that allows them to push beyond the limits of ordinary reality!
Alongside the novel, I’ve been developing TRANSCENDERS | The TCG as a playable extension of that universe, translating its characters and their different approaches to Cenderessence into distinct deck identities!
I’m now opening COHORT 01: the game’s first organized public playtest group on Tabletop Simulator!
The current Alpha environment contains 3 complete Starter decks:
🟣 ST1 — Cheryl O’Will
Midrange / Control
A pressure-building deck that wants to endure, prepare, and turn a fragile-looking position into a decisive reversal
🟢 ST2 — Killian Shawnski
Aggro / Tempo
A precision-focused deck built around clean sequencing, efficient exchanges, and punishing the openings your opponent gives you
🟠 ST3 — Théa Wintersnow
Control / Sustain
A resilient deck that protects its position, disrupts opposing momentum, and becomes increasingly difficult to break as the game goes long
The three decks share the same game, but deliberately approach it through very different rhythms and tactical identities.
