Excuse me Enginseer, but what exactly /is/ a lasgun? It's clearly not a laser, as it has recoil and it's beam is visible in all environments.

It's a gun that fires lases

Why are 3.5 lvl 20 wizards more powerful than lvl 20 clerics? I understand the logic of a master magician being more powerful and versatile than a master warrior, but why should a master wizard be more powerful than a prophet with GOD on his side?
>>54707226
Here we go again...
Is this summer or just trolling?
No one really gives a shit anymore. 3.5 general was a failure. Only people left to discuss it here do not play it or just ignore its flaws.
>>54707252
I legitimately want to hear what the wizposters have to say about this.
When's the last time someone has tribute summoned while playing Yu-Gi-Oh?
It seems like the game is now just "Use a bunch of effects to get 5 XYZ cards on the field in the first turn"
Raigeki should honestly be unlimited
>>54704195
>When's the last time someone has tribute summoned while playing Yu-Gi-Oh?
Fairly recently; a deck focused on tribute summoning, True Draco, is very competitive. There's also the less relevant Monarchs.
>It seems like the game is now just "Use a bunch of effects to get 5 XYZ cards on the field in the first turn"
XYZ spam really doesn't work anymore, or any Extra Deck spam for that matter, Zoodiac being an exception.
>Raigeki should honestly be unlimited
Eh, I'd argue there are enough board-wiping cards to begin with. Besides, Raigeki would be a tremendous pain to get a hold of while unlimited unless it got a reprint of some kind.
Both Blue Eyes and Dark Magician got pretty decent support and stand on their own.

This has been a good thread
>>54704195
I think the problem is that Konami introduced a ton of cards like pic related where if you do something relatively simple you can special summon a powerful monster. I think if they made it so that playing these cards counted as a Normal Summon instead of a Special Summon then the game's balance wouldn't have spiraled so out of control.
It's ironic, really. It's called a SPECIAL summon. As in, it's supposed to be something special. Something uncommon. But nowadays for a deck to be viable you have to special summon five times as much as you normal summon.

It always holds true.

We aren't fighting side-by-side and giving one another as much attention as when we were together we were basically unstoppable.
Still friends tho.
Kobold PCs.
Can they work?
I dunno how you'd fit a graphics card, CPU and mother board into one but I'm sure it's possible.

What's your favorite crossover/mashup of things that usually go in different settings?

YES

>Religious institution that appears good and charitable

How do we subvert this boring old cliche without just having an equally boring always-good religion?
>>54699281
Maybe it's not fully corrupt and there's only like 1 dude that's stealing from the collection plate or some shit?
Use a dichotomy of a strict and hierarchical religion that offers medicine and education and such against a the traditional, fluid pagan beliefs native to the region. Sort of a struggle of culture vs civilization.
>>54699281
> Main church is generally pretty good and kind. Charitable, supportive go the community, etc
> Religion encourages these tenants, and the main governing body of the church upholds them
> But it's a medieval fantasy world, so the church had no way to keep tabs on any individual priests and clergy, that don't live in the Vatican-equivilant, or nearby
> So individual priests can vary from "Jesus incarate" to "Corrupt kiddy diddler"
For a little extra spice, throw in a black bag group of slightly amoral agents working for the church, that do everything from slay monsters plaguing the land, to silencing heretics and dissidents.
Welcome back to the 2017 Summer Elite Cup, one and all. Today we take on /sci/ as we look to advance to the knockouts!

Fresh off our upset victory against a heavily tipped /vp/, /tg/ are in the driving seat as we look to secure promotion against a surprisingly aggressive /sci/ team in today's second match. (Kick off 1730 UTC, 1:30 pm EDT)
BUT BEFORE THAT, our good buddies /m/ look to recover from last week's draw with a win over /vp/ who are also eager to get back on stronger footing. (1700 UTC, 1 pm EDT)
AFTER US HOWEVER, our other good buddies /toy/ take on historical powerhouse /sp/ to get some much needed points in the fight for advancement. (1800 UTC, 2 pm EDT)
AND LATER, in tonight's final match our other OTHER good buddies /co/ take on /g/ as they look to recover from a narrow loss to /int/ (2030 UTC, 4:30 pm EDT)
So that's it. Get in here. GET HYPE! AND WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

What's the difference between anti-heroes and anti-villains?
From what I know both are edgelords who won't stick with the good or bad side, and they pose an obstacle to the hero and villain of the story.
>>54695072
Anti-Hero: Hero with 'villainous' traits. Willing to be underhanded, merciless, that sort of thing. In most cases probably still a 'good' guy but he's no paladin.
Anti-Villain: Villain that has more 'heroic' traits, like a sense of honor or fairness. Still a bad guy though. Probably thinks of himself as a lesser of two evils.
>>54695072
>What's the difference between anti-heroes and anti-villains?
Raziel is an anti-hero.
Kain is an anti-villain.
>>54695179
So basically Anti-hero=chaotic good and anti -villain=lawful evil?
What's happening with Slaanesh, /tg/?
First she was captured and demoted in AoS, now in 40k there's an eldar god who's planning to destroy her...
Do you think GW are planning to do away with Slaanesh? If so, why? Why her specifically?
If not, what do you think is the future of Slaanesh in AoS and 40k lore?
Fan theory says Ynnead is a Slaanesh avatar and everyone's being played for fools.
>>54693885
I doubt that's the case... that sounds more like something Tzeentch would do

Ep. 107 Edition
How will Keyleth fuck up this time?
From Marisha's (Keyleth) AMA on Plebbit:
>Hmm. Yeah, ya know, it took some time and acceptance. It also took a few moments of realization both on my part, and some of the audience members. After the episode with the Kerrek intervention (and on a few other occasions), I got flooded with a decent amount of letters from people saying that they realized their hatred towards Keyleth, her insecurities and self doubts and innate ability to put her foot in her mouth... their hatred stemmed from familiarity. The qualities they despised the most were the same qualities they despised in themselves. "Keyleth is my dark mirror" many have similarly said. And, truthfully, while the negativity doesn't fully go away, it does seem to have subsided.
>Those who don't feel that way, and still hate her? Well, I dunno. I've heard a million theories from my cast mates, coworkers, friends, fellow fans, and I'm sure many of them are true for many people. Some people want to see a bunch of flawless heroes kicking ass, and they cant comprehend why I'd want to play someone who doesn't believe they're a hero. Some despise the way I play her, or think I'm doing Druids, and therefore the game, a disservice. And, I think some are just looking for something, ANYTHING, to be angry at, and anger promotes more anger. Mostly, I try to ignore it. Regardless, It's taken time to come to the understanding that the problem is not with me, and is honestly something I still struggle with from time to time. I get hate mail in my inbox after almost every game. (There are a lot of word filters on my incoming email these days). And, after most games, I tend to get tweets that say, "Oh Marisha, just ignore the haters! There was nothing wrong with what you did tonight!", and almost always my response is, "Wait... what did I do? Not sure what they're referring to this time..."
>>54685421
Clueless as per usual. "I do nothing wrong so it must be everyone else's desire to be angry!" Please.
>>54685421
>"Wait... what did I do? Not sure what they're referring to this time..."
Perhaps the problem is her ENTIRE LACK OF SELF AWARENESS?
>That one card you love that's completely useless thanks to Synchro/XYZ/Pendulum/Links
Why did this game have to get ruined so hard
>>54684175
Fuck off, XYZ Dragon Cannon was shit before all the new extra deck mechanics. It has literally never seen competitive play ever.
Fuck me did you get laughed out of the YGO thread on /vg/ so you came here to bitch instead?

I don't know. 4 out of 5 is a pretty good win rate. Better buy mill cards off Card Kingdom right now.
