No.

You're ugly.

They have that generic modern fantasy look that bores me to tears. I definitely don't want to actually buy the cards because of that.

At least pokemon does cute things with claymation and wildly different art styles.

Anyone have info about double crossbows, repeater crossbows, and other strange projectile weapons in medieval times?

Yes. This needs a bump.

>>52839711
Chinese had crank-operated "repeating" crossbows.
Double crossbow would be feasible too, though nobody really bothered making one because crossbows were not knights weapons. And nobody would waster fine engineering on anything lesser than knights.

>>52963183
They don't exist

I'm sorry but the Deserts belong to the Darker Humans and Orcs.

And yet, sometimes it's fun to be edgy, not gonna lie.

Summoning is great.
Large summoning rituals can be exciting dramatic events, it can provide a plethora of interesting and fun NPCs for the GM to use, and can introduce an entirely separate ecosystem of creatures

Also it can be useful as a stand-in for NPC helpers in certain situations. Meaning the players can explicitly determine what supporting cast members they wish to take, and take easily determinable and system-supported steps in order to acquire them, rather than expecting the GM to make them himself without knowledge of if the players want them or not.

Personally I prefer Mage the Awakening's rules on summoning, controlling, and binding ephemeral entities. Binding a slumbering Spirit of Wind into a Fetish to grant you its power. Summoning a Ghost of an ancient warlord from the Underworld for his wisdom or assitance. Or travelling to a Demesne or Hallow to reach into the Temenos realm of the Astral and call down a Goetia of a concept.

Man is it fun to watch the Concept of Anti-Authoriatrianism psychically annihilate another Mage's mass Mind-Control spell.

Ooh! I wrote an entire class for this. You summon unique otherworldly entities to help you, ranging from chisels to angels to unusual goats.

Do go on.

Are there mechanics for fucking your soul monster?

>>52959699
If pic is related, it looks like Tumblrshit

>>52959715
That's all up to you

>>52959169
Uh... no, not in the slightest. Unless Pathfinder has really changed the Tarrasque from what it was in 3.5, you've basically got three stomachs in a row of insanely high damage, from a gizzard full of adamantine teeth to a vat of acid that casts Mordenkainen's Disjunction on you each round.

If you go in, you ain't coming out.

>>52959237
Well there goes that idea for killing the Tarrasque.

>>52959169
Regeneration (Ex)

No form of attack can suppress the tarrasque’s regeneration—it regenerates even if disintegrated or slain by a death effect. If the tarrasque fails a save against an effect that would kill it instantly, it rises from death 3 rounds later with 1 hit point if no further damage is inflicted upon its remains. It can be banished or otherwise transported as a means to save a region, but the method to truly kill it has yet to be discovered.

Straight from the PFSRD.

Well for one it wasn't Wizards, it was the EDH team who are not employed by Wizards.

>>52957077
Then they should know more than anyone that Hulk does not belong in EDH.


At all.

>>52957124
Their rationale is that there's already many more degenerate things than Hulk in green so who gives a fuck if there's one more. It's not format-warping anymore because we're already well warped past it.
So why not let the casuals have their fun with it, basically.

shit people like shit things

Dan was only really funny in an awkward way, Chip was consistently hilarious, Dan's wife was shit tier and the guest where generally pretty funny either because they had no idea what was going on or because they where professional comedians.
