>mfw marvelfags got hit twice

How will marvelfags recover? How does it feel to have to scurry to sell your worthless deck to people who don't want anything to do with it?

So what replaces uncaged fury in pummeler decks when it rotates out?

I mostly seem to make progress when I'm sleepy and should go to bed already.

>>53791033
Whoa, I did not expect this. I just randomly made a decent resolution system for a game.

http://anydice.com/program/c00a

Works by you rolling as many POS dice as you get from stats or something, and you roll as many NEG dice as is the difficulty. Then you just subtract the biggest NEG die from the biggest POS die. Bang, easy and fast.

I just need to come up with a crit system. Of course I know that having a 1 as your POS is a fumble, but having 6 as positive would be too easy.

>>53791464
I know the feel, I'm basically half-asleep here. gotta go to sleep myself.

>What's the best shower thought you've had for a game?
First you replace all the classes with something like feat chains. (This is roughly the same as how multiclassing works in D&D 3.5)

Then you make all the "feats" about as big as a first-level character's stuff. So monoclassing or multiclassing aren't doing fundamentally different weird things with expected power levels. And every feat/level has a full package of social/adventure/combat stuff so it's not possible to totally gimp your character in certain situations.

Then you make there be traditional feat-like things that are just one-offs. And you pay for them by not getting a "class level" for that level. But they're a lot bigger than "cleave," since they have to be first-level-character-sized.

And obviously getting a magic item increases your character's total power, so we'll capture that by expressing the item as another feat/level. So a third level character should be about as effective as another third level character regardless of how many items they have, because we took the items into account when declaring them third level.

And now that everything is so open-ended, let's make entire feat chains that are just cliche character arcs and the way being at that portion of the arc would affect your character's capabilities in a story. And now you can "multi-class" into being heartbroken or being out for revenge, and that just ends up being part of your build.

>Is it still in the game, or did it only work as inspiration?
The design fallout from this killed my homebrew system for about four years as I tried to figure out how to put some of the pieces back together. It's very much still how I'm planning to do things.

2nd for NORTHKIN SOON
HIS TIME IS NOW

Borka 1
Bearka 2
Northkin Fire Eaters
Northkin Shamans
Skaldi Bonehammer and a unit of Champions

It's odd to pick northkin as a theme. Outside of being called Northkin, there's nothing that ties these guys together, no unifying theme.

Isn't this a question for >>>/lit/ ?

First one largely completed, started to take down notes for a second one.

I do wish I had any idea on how to get them published, or at least to find out whether they were worth publishing.

A joke, which wasn't particularly funny, which people latched onto, and is now in high demand, despite being crap. This card is a meme and a metaphor for everything I like and everything I hate in Magic.

I'm also partial to treasured find.

My first deck back in 2002 or so was based around Unnatural Selection and Engineered Plague. The deck was grindy and tons of fun, and revolved around crippling and stealing my opponent's creatures with cards like Phyrexian Infiltrator and Empress Galina. When Artificial Evolution came out I threw a couple in to change the Wall limitation on US to clam or whatever, which let me do "1: Target creature can't attack this turn." I'm sure it was pretty bad but we were all bad so I had no problem racking up tons of wins with it.

For example you roll two 10's in frag grenade roll - two righteous furies?

Another example - you fire with autogun on automatic fire. You get three hits, and three 10's. Three righteous furies?

Now you have two sticks. Dualwield sticks! Attack one guy twice! Attack two guys at once!

A zweihander is built in all aspects to hurt your opponent. From the blade to slice, to the crossguard to spike, to the pommel to bash

Eagle barb is fun I don't care what anyone says.

Is it feasible to play an arcane casting soldier who is also a skeptic?

>>53759174
Agreed.

New party members also join at 2 levels lower, further eating up gold and making new party members be so frail they literally die in one hit. We have a Wizard with 5 HP, but the DM is really rigid on this stuff.

>What games can you just give the rules to someone and say "ok go ahead" come back 5-10 minutes later and they've got it all figured out without your help?

Pic related - my parents are in their late 70's / early 80's and it took me less than 30 seconds to explain the game rules.

>What's the worst rulebook in your collection?

Pic very F'ing related! I've got a pdf that came out many many months later that I *think* fixes the most glaring screw-ups in the editing (like leaving out entire paragraphs or cutting things off in mid-sentence). After trying to read the rules the first time and discovering what a train-wreck they were, I haven't had a lot of hope that the update is better.

Check this out guys. It plays a lot like Dominion but with combat that reminds me a lot of the combat in MtG. Plus the graphic style is awesome but I guess that's a matter of taste.

It's currently on Kickstarter if you're interested. Have a look. It's pretty cool imo.

Costing and everything seem fine. I like opponent's choice cards, so it works for me. Was going to suggest "may" but you can always fail to find so not really necessary.

>>53719683
For one less than Ashen Powder, the combination of being limited to your own graveyard, and the opponent's choice aspect makes me feel this is a bit underwhelming. I almost want to say you could make this an instant, because I'm not sure you can really make it cheaper.

Just more garbage from me.
