OSR, why do you think Gygax initially named the 'Fighter' class as 'Fighting-Man'?

Thanks anon, you're a doll.

Honestly he gets a lot of hate, and not everything he's put out is perfect, but I think he's contributed a lot to the game and really doesn't deserve the hate he gets

>>51654017
Bruh, did you just get off of 1d4chan? Recent events have brought to light that Ward actually isn't that bad compared to others in BL.

>>51654017
>>51654034
I agree. Hating Matt Ward is honestly nothing more than a meme, I think most people here have actually appreciated his work and don't really hate him. It's too bad, it must suck getting so much meme hate from the community you've contributed so much to.

How old was the nephew? You've honestly no one to blame but yourself either way. Kids and teenagers interests can change so fast by the time the mom even said the words "D&D" they've probably moved on to a new hobby.

>tfw have a prerelease foil one

I really hope what you say is true anon.

I can believe that. It's worth more than a dollar comparatively to the rest of the standard-usable cards.

Which is best Dynavolt build, U/B or U/R? Or grixis if you're a madman??

I wanna try a U/R one, I think the faceburn is worth over grasp

In one of my games the gods had built numerous underground bunkers to protect their non-combat worshipers from an imminent war of the gods. Unfortunately all sides had been wiped out in the war so most of the bunkers became very elaborately defended tombs.

Add in a bunch of scavenging PCs desperate to survive and you got yourself a dungeon crawl.

>>51653032
>Also, how do you guys like your dungeons?

Realistic representation of in-universe locations based on sourcebooks and reasonable extrapolation.

I generally don't do the assault course type dungeon, unless for some reason there happened to be one. I did do a trap-filled tomb once, since trapped mausoleums/catacombs full of valuable grave goods are actually credible.

>>51653032
Maybe a bunch of successful hobgoblins got their slaves to make a castle. Maybe they have since died and a group of monsters moved in.
Maybe a lich used skeletons to dig/build a tomb - he probably wouldn't worry about traps, knowing where they are and not leaving too often.
Maybe a human ruler had a LOT of wealth and wanted to be buried with it, making deathtraps to deter grave-robbers.
Maybe a death cult set up a temple where surviving the myriad traps meant becoming a high priest, to say nothing of the privacy it gives. It's just so awkward having adventurers burst in when you've JUST started making a sacrifice.

Market presence and sunk cost.

If you want a smaller, cheaper game that captures a fragment of the experience- Admittedly, the more casual part- pic related might be good for you.

I never understood how people shell out for stuff like cards and minis.

>>51652869
This is actually why people are saying MTG will die in 2017. It's not entirely true, but it's very much becoming a Hobbyist's game.

Take a look at set release threads and 40k Model/codex announcements. You'll see a lot of similar attitudes and technical terms used.

What might be better for you is to find a Deckbuilding game, where card power isn't linked to card rarity/cost. You simply buy the main game and any expansions, both players use the same pool of cards, and the game is played from there.

I'm actually looking for something similar to MTG in terms of a combat/war focus, but so far no luck.

If you've got downtime in game, why not play out your characters via E-mail? Use that E-mail time to flesh out the towns you're in, or maybe have a mini adventure in the tavern- like I don't know have a dart throwing contest, a drinking contest, a bard contest. I don't know.

It's what I would do in those situations. Check with your other players and see if they're game for it too though.

>>51652318
Seems like an alright idea. They're a bit hard to get ahold of though...

Any ideas for just one person?

>>51652504

Depends, where are you in the game?

Make sure to forward the interaction to the DM though.

>>51651417
There's some other guy still trying to force another dead meme from literal years ago right now.

The kind of faggots who force memes have zero shame.

I only have PoE with no expansions yet. been putting it off forever. should I get down to it?

whats a fun class? I can't stand slogs anymore.

>>51652251
The expansions are the best part, consider at least pirating them.

Monks can be fun after the initial few levels, kicking people across the screen, a tank-focused paladin with high mental stats lets you get most of the dialogue checks while still being powerful in combat, ciphers have some unique ways to solve some of the quests but that can mostly be done by the cipher NPC if you bring her with you.

After the early game you get access to an NPC of every class except rogue, barbarian and monk, so it's not really a big deal to make your main character a simple class because you can always just bring a party full of casters to give you lots of active abilities and spells. You get the last 3 classes in the expansion, or not all without it, though you can make NPCs of any class at an inn, they just won't talk or have a personality.

Part of desolation and decay is sense of foreboding, of not knowing necessarily what happened. Maybe academically you know why, but the city offers details of the how.

Imagine the last days of a city dweller, and what they did. Did they flee? or did they hunker down in place? Did a stuffed animal wind up somewhere unique, and now it is decayed almost beyond recognition? Did rats knock it over or chew on it? You have got to imagine the decay for yourself, the process, the samsara, and pluck details from that.

Or you cop details from ruinporn pics while listening to dark ambient.

Idk, but I'd recommend reading the first 50 or so pages of The Sorcerer's Nephew if you're looking for inspiration, I remember the empty city in a dying world that appears there to be pretty haunting

Bring back regiment creation rules.

Regimental Tactics would help. GW is moving towards Grand Alliance structure though, so take whatever specialist ally you need in a Castellans detachment and enjoy your respawning conscripts.

>not toughing it out, going to work, and spreading nurgle's bounty with all your friends.

Good job not getting Nice Guy Nurgle's routine ass.

So, would some one who never gets sick be blessed or cursed by Nurgle?

I never, and I mean NEVER, get anything - I can count on both hands all the times I've ever been sick since I was like 4 or 5. I've had strep throat once, I don't really even remember what it was like.

And it's not like I'm a clean person either, or that I stay inside all day away from sick people.

My sister gets sick all the fucking time, though, and both my parents get sick normally, so it's not my family's genetics.

Do I thank Isha?

>>51647884
You realise the negative feelings go away if you pledge yourself to nurgle, that fucked up throat is gonna feel great if you embrace it
