How does he lie down?

Anime: Never.

Gains 1d4 edge points per turn.

Symbol of nobility => medieval stories feature a lot of heroic nobles => symbol of heroism.

>What exactly makes the sword the "go to" or the favored weapon of most fantasy classes?
Easy to travel with, excellent weapon for confined spaces, effective against lightly armoured foes, symbol of the free man.
>I mean, why when picturing a blank adventurer we would always imagine him with a sword in hands?
See above.
>Is the popularity of swords in fantasy settings and general media correlated with the popularity of swords in real life?
Sort of. Swords were a symbolic weapon, one that could be carried as a badge of office or station. Thus, the sword became the visual symbol of an armed man, despite spears being much more common on the battlefield, cudgels more common in urban use, and various other weapons being crucial to combat over the past two thousand years.
>If why, then why is the sword even that popular irl?
See top answer.

>>50652487
It's portable
It's shiny
It's recognizable
It's versatile (there're many ways of using a good sword)
It's associated with nobility
It's pretty
etc etc

It's the same reason as to why people walk wih pistol instead of a assault rifle

I've been really wanting to pick this game up and start making a deck. I play mtg, yugioh, pokemon, and force of will. Is this game pretty fun?

I work at my LGS in the US and I'm super worried about if the game can get legs here. We preordered way ahead of time and we were only able to get 2 of each starter and no boosters. So, everyone that was interested after I drummed up the hype just kinda doesn't care anymore because we cant get any product. This is what killed Dice Masters and Force of Will at my store. We get what little product we can get, nobody can play but the 6 people that got product, the people that didn't get any stop caring, and the people that did get bored because there's no players. I'm gonna keep pushing it here when we FINALLY get boosters, and I'm even passing on my personal box order just to get the product out there... but man... the struggle is too real.

>>50651448
Yeah, it's a fun game.
One of the lead designers was a MTG Pro-Tour champ way back, it has a few things from that.

>>50651579
Yeah, I heard US was getting fucked hard for stock, the issue is collectors want the stock and won't play, and scalpers know that the IP will get people paying money.

Not dead yet, real life and video games are keeping me busy and I've had no luck starting playtests or getting any feedback from people who've read the rules.

Here's some plans I've got so far:
>Work on Infinite Arcana and Infinite Creation.
Adds new powers and rituals for Arcana and Creation, primarily utility-based ones. Some of these will raise the power level of these Mysteries considerably (think 3.5e Fighters compared to Clerics), and so they're not going into the main rulebook.

>Work on Alien, Edge, and Hermeticism Mysteries
Characters built with these Mysteries are expected to revolve around those mysteries; characters with Alien lose access to normal facets and gain a special set of Alien-related facets, and the same applies to the others.

>Change TOWERS over to a Maid RPG style system for rolls.
For those who are unfamiliar, rolls consist of rolling a d6, and then multiplying the result of your roll by whichever stat you're using. A character with Prowess 1 can roll 1 through 6, a character with Prowess 5 can roll 5 through 30, et cetera.

-Replace advantage and disadvantage with flat modifiers.
Multiple dice is a nice way to handle advantages and disadvantages in theory, but in practice it's not that great an idea.

>a weak creature tries to steal your money
OP, if you expected any answers other than "murder the worthless little shit", you're in for some disappointment.

Any suggestions for good places to get terrain that aren't GW levels of expensive?

I'm curious about Dunegon World, think you could share?

Into the trash it goes, just like the rest of the system.

The Unchained Monk is the only one worth playing. It puts the class on par with the Barbarian, Ranger, and Paladin in my experience. The core version is trash, but this redeems it.

Good (for a martial), fun, very flexible

But losing the good will save is nonsensical

I still love how Kevin made a ton of cash letting some idiots advertise Rifts for him. Kickstarter victims are so damn stupid.

>>50665319
It seems to be a mutually beneficial arrangement, as a lot of people are willing to buy Rifts without the terrible Palladium rules.
