We've already heard about the guy who writes the Flesh Tearers books talk about how the Flesh Tearers are going to be interacting with the Primaris Marines.

OP, are you having a stroke? I'm serious: your post is fucking unreadable.

>>53396874
it's spelled poorly, but it's not unreadable.

>>53393754
Why wouldn't it be?

>>53393754

Wouldn't "-ails" on the end S of Dorms have gotten more poitns?

Though is "dorms" even legal? It's a shortening of Dormintories.

passing my Fort save and not catching anything

Lore advice:
- Ignore the lore

Play tips:
- Your life points are a resource; don't get attached to them, and don't worry about losing life if doing so gives you an advantage
- Unless you can use then to kill your opponent, save burn spells for opposing creatures
- Being able to draw more cards than your opponent (card advantage) is very useful
- When deckbuilding, make sure to have a nice range of spell costs, weighted towards the lower end (mana curve). Powerful expensive spells are useless if your opponent takes you out before you can play them.

Following new Magic lore is rough. Instead of a whole series of books you get snippets online, and even the books have a wide variety in author and quality.

Also, the fan wikis leave much to be desired as far as finer details, as does the Magic site really. There's nothing wrong with getting into the lore but just don't put too much investment in it, because Wizards has kind of stopped doing so.

If you find a card or set that looks or sounds cool, look up stuff for it. Otherwise, I wouldn't go out of my way to read or emotive everything.

And >>53391489 gave good gameplay advice. Here are a few other tips.
>card advantage could be killing two creatures for one spell
>creature auras should be used sparingly
>don't take it too seriously; it's a game. the reality is that probability will screw you, someone else's budget will screw you, and your deck's weaknesses will screw you. take the loss, learn from the experience if you can, and enjoy your next game

>Can you guys help me follow the actual lore of it a bit better?

HAHAHAHA

Alright forreal, if you wanna know what's going on in the stuff that's coming out now, the link I'm about to post has the background story of our five protagonists. (http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/magic-origins-new-era-2015-06-03) The current story is a bit... unpopular with /tg/, but it's what's going on now. Just read the "Magic Story" column on the website, updates every Wednesday.

If you wanna go beyond that, well, you're entering the maze. For about 6 years "Magic Story" was called "Uncharted Realms" and varied from "The Story, period" to "A short story from one of the dozens of planes Magic has been". Beyond that there's a bunch of books that go from a solid read to absolutely bumfuck awful.

mtgsalvation has the barest bones of lore, and what they do have is pretty god damn spotty.

Finally, some guy named Jay does a column called Archive Trap that's probably the best place to binge the story. I don't know. http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magic-fundamentals/magic-storyline/629495-archive-trap-a-vorthos-guide-to-mtg

Good luck.

Like any other top-tier shit, I just don't care. We all know it'll be replaced by something even more overpowered eventually.

please stop making yugioh threads on /tg/ it just gets filled with magic fags saying how shit it is for not being magic, and people who haven't played the game in 12 years agreeing with them because its "Not muh yugioh".
If you're looking for an actually good place to discuss yugioh go to /vg/

So, this chicken man can:
>be summoned t1
>be unaffected by both spell and trap cards
>immediately destroy two spell/trap cards the next turn

That's pretty silly.

Ultimately, the anti Gnome front is silently being run by a dwarven mining interest of two companies wanting land the gnomes occupy as well as generally hating the weakness they represent.

Any attempts on the dwarf strongholds would rely on defeating traps, puzzles and brute strength.

Establish the world first and see how the PCs react to it first. If they decide to go with evil or good alinged characters, you can prep the campaign with that slant in mind rather than planning two entirely different story arcs.

A session zero where character motivations and pre existing character relationships are established will go a long way to prevent giving you headaches.

Great advice! I appreciate it.

I'm also looking for concepts/game mechanics that aren't played out.

Any other ideas?

Like, whichever way it goes I want the opposition at the end to be in a living rock castle, boss fight being the actual stronghold

I completely missed the tiny snek holding up the tide of doom and destruction from stopping the Hoplites horribly raping that Dread. This must be how they won in the Paramar Labyrinth. Oddly adorable for a horrible knife-skull murderbot tentacle.
Could there then be a reason to make some slightly scarier ones as a Distraction Carnifex of sorts? I was thinking something like a tiny Netch from Elder Scrolls, but with twin lasgun barrels pointing out from under the lens cluster in front. Go poke people and try to get them to shoot it, since it's probably going to live through someone trying to perfunctorily remove it with a Rhino.

Or do you want them titchy and hidey until you can use them to block, so they don't notice? I admit I didn't exactly think of them as actual units until you mentioned blocking things. I could use the spider swarms that come with Xander's Abeyant, rather than using them as basing material for the Myrmidons to denote personal favour.

You could also hide a couple behind your Myrmidon squad, providing cover fuckery and Interceptor, then afrer shooting jump them over the squad to block pretty much all charges and also provide cover if they're modelled slightly taller than the baby sneks. The possibilities are ENDLESS! Muhahahahah!

Thanks for summarising, anon. The lack of them has been saddening while I was too busy to bake and/or asleep at oven time.

I know, right? We've actually had comfy threads. But threads usually archive at 2 am for me, so don't get used to my summaries.

You know, to keep up with Daishi (not really 'big death' but that was the intention of the authors) and such.
