So on the card, "The Titan's Bastard" For the Respnse of the card, I was wondering do I have to pay the cost of the card to play it from my hand or does it just come out after the requirment is met? I have noticed that there are many of cards with the same statement out there. I know in some card games when it states this I usually have to pay the cost. But this is a different game, so what is the verdict on this? thank you

With all your questions i would suggest you read the latest FAQ if you have not already.

4.4) "Play" and "Put into Play"
Character, Location, and Attachment cards are
“played” from the hand during the marshalling
phase, by taking a player action and paying
their gold cost.
Event cards are “played” by placing the card
on the table, paying the specified cost, and
triggering the effect.
"Put into play" effects are not considered to be
"played." Similarly, when a card is "put into
play," it does not trigger any "when played"
effects, and vice versa. Both, however, would
trigger effects that occur when a card "comes
into play” or “enters play.”
"Put into Play" is a game mechanic that
bypasses all costs (including all gold penalties)
and play restrictions.
For example: Bran the Builder's Legacy
(CORE S159) lets you put into play a location
of printed cost 2 or lower. You would not need
to pay the gold cost to bring the new location
into play, and you could bring in a limited
location even if you had already played a
limited card that turn.

Thank you for yor help, it means allot to me. Now all I have to do is figure out where to start with building decks. I think between me playing SW, NR, LOTR, and now this. I see my bank account just above water. LOL
