Since this board has become somewhat ghost-like, I felt I should bring this up here first to liven the place up. I see Tom Filsinger posted the completed, colored drawing for the El Generico card on the Filsinger Games twitter feed on Wednesday. It amazes me it hasn't got its own thread on the official board. 1. What does everyone think about it? 2. Does anyone actually follow Filsinger Games on twitter and pay attention to stuff like this? It seems like he's made several big announcements (either accidentally or on purpose; one potential big one for LOW just recently) on twitter and no one writes about it until days later. twitter.com/#!/FilsingerGames/status/108978467743342593/photo/1

Yeah, it's kinda odd he does that.
I actually surprised they're not releasing him in the PDF set with Steen.. that would make alot more sense, IMO.

Awesome to see him getting a card, weird it's in the Chikara set.

I'm glad he's in the CHIKARA brand. He is a mainstay with that group and has had some great matches for them this year. Also, this way it is in color and fits in with the others. I feel they'll probably be going color with everything but Legends from here on out (excluding the pdf stuff).

I follow Tom (actually all 3 of his twitters), but so much stuff on it is just a waste. I missed this one, but saw it after Keith posted it on fb. I am glad that El Generico is getting a card, but as part of the set? That better mean that he is an SE that can be ordered seprately as well.

I don't follow Tom or anyone else on Twitter. I think Twitter is usually filled up with an infinite amount of useless "info". But I am happy to hear El Generico is getting a card and agree with you Mark, color for LOW/LOTF is the future.

Glad to see Generico get a card. I am not a fan of Chikara...but I might buy the set for Generico alone.
Not a real fan of the color cards...I just don't think it adds that much...but I am less a fan of mixing it so that some are color and some are not.

I don't follow Tom or anyone on twitter. I have no devices to access that stuff from wherever I happen to be.
Generico for a brief moment almost got in the LOTF pdf, but they pulled him since he was getting a Chikara card. Generico is actually one I would like to have a regular LOTF card for him, he's done more than just Chikara in his career.
I haven't read whatever it said on Twitter but I think this card is for the special 3-pack Chikara release. If it isn't then I don't know what set it's coming out in. I can see no sense at all in making an announcement on one platform (twitter) and not any of the others.

A special 3 card release would be really cool!

Jason,
It seems to me that he's the third card, along with current Johnny Saint and the winner of the fan voting, in the upcoming "CHIKARA SPECIAL" 3-pack (which I believe may end up being a 4-pack if my radar is working right). I really enjoy CHIKARA and I'm glad he is part of that format (ie: in color) since I play a CHIKARA themed group using that set and love the look of those cards. If he'd have been in a pdf release it just wouldn't be the same to me.
By the way, as far as Tom "announcing" stuff on twitter: I think he's just not mastered the platform and sometimes sends message he thinks are private and they end up being public for everyone to see. It looks to me like he was sending that tweet to El Generico directly and didn't mean it to go out to the public. He did that in one other instance recently too, and if it is what it seems to be it could be big news.

I haven't seen any art for Saint, if it was put out there by mistake or not, I don't know where it is. Google the Chikara message board and you can vote on that poll too.
