Let me just start off by saying that I literally love playing against aggro. Literally nothing makes me happier than playing against Solely Death's Shadow, and Eldrazi every single round at Wednesday night Modern. These linear as fuck slam big guys decks are fucking cancer, 100% I am really tired of these decks, and I really think that wizards should try to support control and combo more. And Tron is not Control.
What do you guys think of the meta?
What deck are you currently playing?
Does any deck interest you currently? I felt that that BUG delirium deck looked pretty fun myself.
What is your favorite kind of playstyle?
Do you like the new mechanic from Amonkhet?
Post a brew or idea you have and I personally as OP will give suggestions or ideas that you won't care about.

Thoughts about Gideon AoZ in W/B tokens?
Or Elspeth as a high-mana payoff?
I play Ponza!
>>52329121
I don't even play fish you assdevestated retard. Burn is quite literally count to 20. That's all it does. Sometimes bolting a goyf or thalia isn't something that needs to be factored into describing the deck.
Fish has to at least interact to win some matchups.
I'm taking a more personal approach with my game, i want to offer players who've missed a session or decide to split off, a chance to go through a more hands on game. more where theyre the focus/star. hopefully to help connect with certain 2 of my players that always seem un-interested in the main game.
tomorrow is going to be my first session, the party warlock, he's not very good at interacting with NPC's or Roleplaying, but he is sufficient at combat.
i need help coming up with a session or ideas for Non-Combat stuff he can do that would have him interact with people
pic unrelated
currently theyre in a large city, extremely large, but its not there home base.
the city has nearly anything you can imagine in a high fantasy setting, they have wizard towers where you can buy spells and enchantments, underground black market where you can trade illegal monsters or poisons. whatever
>>52328981
It bothers me that the artist who made that picture probably doesn't know what Sovereign Glue is.
>>52329036
It being /tg/ I assumed your issue would have been the MLP pegasus on the glue bottle.
I want to start collecting and playing warhammer 40k and I am wondering is it work it and if there a good player base or the game is dead ?
>>52328715
It's dead.
>>52328715
which contry?
>>52328715
>Do you guys think I should play this game which contains people with different opinions on it
Make up your own decision yourself faggot.
Buy some models and paints you like, if you enjoy painting then congratulations youll enjoy the game no matter how shitty the rules end up being.
Even if the rules go to shit the lore,models, and *FUN is still going to be there
WHEN THE FUCK ARE THEY GOING TO NERF SHOE?
>>52328214
They got rid of shoe for dinosaurs and random shit
>>52328214
You silly fuck, it starts with nerfs and then BAM! It'll get Squatted like the fucking artillery piece. Do you REALLY want to live in the Shoe-less meta?
>>52328214
Pretty sure the new edition replaces Shoe with three types of birds.
Imagine a world where luck-injections are a thing.
>party investigates higher prices of luck injections
>ends up hired by pharmaceutical company to "peacefully persuade" suppliers to cough up more luck juice
>find blood bank of leprechauns set up like Mad Max Fury Road
>>52328130
>My world... is bonuses and rerolls
>>52328044
Gambling at large would no longer be a thing, it would be almost entirely be done by the lower class.
Would a Cure Disease spellterminate a pregnancy?
Or would it require a remove curse?
Or banishment?
>>52326906
I would go with banishment, because tumors and fetuses are foreign entities in a persons body.
>>52326906
>Pregnancy is comparable to a disease, a curse, or an evil extraplanar being.
t. Queen of the Roasties
>>52326906
Assuming a normal pregnancy and 5e rules, none of these would work.
1) Pregnancy isn't a disease.
2) Pregnancy isn't a curse.
3) Banishment has two problems.
3a) you don't have line of sight to the fetus;
3b) the fetus doesn't have anything distasteful to it so you can't meet the material requirements. Because it's a fetus.
Hey kids its time to talk about Flintlock Fantasy and to refer settings and other works in the genre. So I think Johnathan Strange and Mr.Norrel fit firmly within the genre and I suggest you read it if you like catty English men. It actually makes me want to write a short story about Napoleonic battle mages. But anyways any other good examples of the genre, no gaslamp remember.
I heard good stuff about the powder mages, griffins and gunpowder, and shadow campaign series as well as temeraire as well as at the queens command.
What are peoples thoughts on the Gentleman Bastards series?
Bump of interest
Sorry but lynch is one of the worst authors ever. I don't know why /tg/ shills his crap so much.
The powder mage trilogy, by Brian McClellan, is pretty good. Not a classic that our posterity will read, but definitely a solid read.

The gist of it:
>They're bringing in the "3 Ways To Play" concept from AoS.
>They want to introduce Command Points to "reward players who structure their army like their in-world counterparts" (which is funny, because I thought that was the whole point of formations)
>The Move value will probably be coming back, which means Datasheets will probably be replaced with AoS-style warscrolls.
>They want to replace AP with Armor Save Modifiers to "better represent how you imagine them working in your head."
>Charging units will get some sort of Initiative bonus (no more >I2 Ork memes)
>Morale is no longer all or nothing; units who fail morale checks take additional casualties but keep fighting. Also, it sounds like ATSKNF, Fearless, and Zealot are either getting squatted or reworked so that morale affects everyone.
>Sisters of Battle are mentioned in passing (keep the faith alive, sisters!)
Penny for your thoughts, /tg/
>>52326127
WE SIGMAR NOW
>>52326127
The fluff bit sounds nice, but unless they get rid of formations (unlikely since they'd have to replace tons of books) it doesn't seem enough.
Move value actually sounds nice, super special warscrolls for every unit sounds shit
Charging = Ini buff sounds stupid, the extra attack is fine
Morale sounds idiotic.
>>52326127
>Penny for your thoughts, /tg/
IMO
>more special rules
>more "armies" like AoS armies with lack of units variety pushing by Allegiance system
Well if current 40k in theory could be fixed this one will never be finished
How would you roleplay as a Worm that Walks? What spells best compliment the flavor?
WtW thread
>>52325857
Colony Sarff.
>>52325857
hol' the fuck up
What is an interesting insect to use instead of worms?
Defend yourselves.
Have you heard what they say about you? Maybe it's directed at the characters you choose to play, your behaviour at the table, your GMing style, or that one thing you did during a session.
But are you truly That Guy?
Explain yourselves and justify your past shames, /tg/.
>>52325120
Nice try Pride Demon.
I've never run or played in a game, ever.
>>52325120
I Disagree whith the crazy whacky fun some other players have, but the GM's doing a good job so I don't want to drop out even though I'm gradually becoming that guy.
I value players having fun over in character roleplaying, if my behaviour goes against what my character would have really done for the sake of having fun then I'll be that guy.
What does it taste like?
All the washes taste the same.
the old inks taste better
>>52324566
Trampled hopes and broken dreams.
What is /tg/s opinion on MTG standard?
>>52323736
The same reason they are obsessed with 40k D&D and Commander?
>>52323736
Seems little different than any other post Innistrad standard.
>>52323736
Literally no removal
Gideon won't go away
The whole meta is based around jamming the best threats into your deck because theres no fucking removal.
I'm going to be playing an enginseer in a game of Only War and whilst I feel I have a good grasp of 40k terminology I realise I don't know as many pieces of mechanicus jargon as I thought. I know all the obvious stuff like machine spirits, praising the omnissiah, etc, but what other stuff is a cogboy likely to say that a regular person wouldn't?
>>52323419
beep boop fuck chaos.
>>52323419
Though this might not be particularly helpful, as someone who's been writing the Mechanicus for a long time it's sometimes helpful to understand how GW came up with its Mechanicus jargon, if you have access to the Codices from the TT or just general books on the AdMech you begin to realise patterns in their speech and a really prevalent inclination towards 'word-jumbling', particularly between seemingly technological and theological wordings.
Things like Data-Psalms, Memetic-Chants, binharic imperatives and the like are decently good examples, essentially just make sure that even when you go full religious and start talking about the portents or plasms or texts or whatever, ensure that you sneak some general 40k technological terminology in there relevant to the situation, phrases like 'animus' 'binharic' 'imperatives' 'data' 'motive force' and the like to really sell yourself as a Techpriest. You basically need to make yourself sound like some sort of well-spoken scientist robot while also adding in a healthy dose of traditionally religious slogans.
Honestly I'm not that great at explaining this as it's gotten to the point where I do it intuitively, but if there's anything more specific you'd like me to try and explain I could have a go at it.
Sorry but if you dont have a clue about the character you are going to play then...... why play it?!
Your current campaign is now getting adapted as a Japanese light novel series. What's its title?
>"Uwa?! I Thought We Were Hunting Orcs, but Now I'm a Sky Pirate That Has to Get Married?
or, alternatively-
>"I Didn't Know Orcs Lay Eggs but I Think I Have One"
"Things used to take forever to happen but now nothing even happens"
Or
"I can't believe that we just spent another week autistically describing castle repairs"
>>52323255
>I didn't know orcs lay eggs but i think i have one
if you do it right(horribly hilariously funny) then this. The first seems bit too playable
"Everyone Wants My Secrets, Because I'm a Medieval Gunslinger"
Anyone have river maps?
>>52323214
Why do rivers exhibit fractal behaviour and how can I abuse this fact as a geomancer?
