When did you realize Magic: the Gathering's lore was a complete and utter garbage heap and why was it that time this bitch destroyed the only interesting plane in the Multiverse?

Innistrad's still intact, just human population is fucked since Avacyn's and the angels are gone, Sorin's in a stone coma, and werewolf population is probably going to go unchecked.
Just wait another 5-10 years for Return to Innistrad and we get to see how Wizards retcon everything not being completely fucked and/or Emrakul breaking the moon

Somewhere in the fourth year of the Weatherlight crew when I started to realize that those faggots weren't going away.
Also hi Chandere. You're not doing a very good job of not making yourself obvious.

/tg/, I need Surreal... everything. Animations, Art, music, videos, podcasts, comics, whatever. I'm working on a setting and I need new material to absorb so I can work on it with a fresh mind.
Videos and Music playlists are top priority, but anything works.

When I opened up D&D 4e, just reading the book was enjoyable to me and the way it was laid out was fresh. Up until that point, every tabletop book I've read had pointless obfuscation, bad page layouts, and a severe lack of templating.
Unfortunately, the backlash to 4e seems to have prevented a focus on clarity and gameplay from becoming a trend. While there is nothing wrong with criticizing games, it seemed to me that there was an older legacy of gamers that saw improvement as a threat. Sort of like what happens when people that have a "back in my day, things sucked, and it was BETTER!" attitude and then go vote on policies that make life more difficult for people in a new age long after they are dead of old age.
Are there any other tabletop RPG books that have decided to go against the backlash by writing and designing in a style that uses templates, layouts, and mechanics to be as clear and playable as possible?
Ultimately I got tired of 4e just because the way powers were implemented had memory issues. It was clearly designed to require power cards or a character builder, and it saddens me that trying to play the game by the book involved an excessive amount of page-flipping. I'm looking into other systems and trying to find a game that adheres to some of the positive principles in 4e, including clarity, balance, and a focus on gameplay.

Nice essay. Seriously.
I find highly clarified mechanics have in a subtle way moved to boardgames. How many boardgames are in the style of D&D rheme and setting wise?
Boardgames have picked up the slack from when ttrpgs moved into more freeform collaborative storytelling. D&D 4th edition tried to do both. Arguably sucessfully when helmed well. Like all D&D it needed house rules.
Boardgames with strong theming are often more focused on creating a narrow set of feeling and stories through mechanics. Rpgs today largely offer mechanics to help the players tell whatever stories they want.
Posting from phone sucks. Am i making sense?

So I got back into the hobby and I am not sure what game I should get into.
I don't want to spend too much money on it and carrying a truckload of minis is a hassle so GW is out of the question. I'd like something with a lower model count and a chill community.
I am looking for something with sleek but not overcomplicated rules, so that I can introduce it to friends in a fun and casual way. I am mainly interested in Infinity and Malifaux, but also considering warmachine.

Same as a TCG but when a new set comes out you buy it all at once in a box.
>>
>>53237020
In most LCGs you have the defined cardpool that you purchase all at once, but you still build your own deck from that. In Yomi, at least, you don't build your deck so to say. Each deck has a very particular set of cards in it that are not interchangeable. I don't think LCG is the correct term for Yomi. It's a game of interchangeable decks.
>>
>>53237219
All card games are games of interchangeable decks, some games are just more honest about it than others. A huge part of stepping up from being a scrub in any card game is knowing that decks are more so chosen than they are invented.
I realize this is only true to a point. There is room for originality, but many players think of card games as something that's about personal invention when the reality is far from it.
