What do you do best as a magic player? Where do you need to improve?
Is it worth running effects like Cursecatcher, judges familiar, and spiketail hatchling type effects in my derevi stax list. Its getting pretty tuned and all the primers say that they are good enough but idk man.
What are some good options for getting things in the yard in a monoblack deck? I get that entombed and buried alive are things, I just want to dump tons of things in the yard.

Like from play or from your graveyard or...
Why does fantasy tend to overshadow sci fi as far as rpgs and genre stuff goes? Is it just D&D/Tolkien 's shadow in the collective psyche? I've met tons of people who are really dismissive or disfavoring of SF stuff, with maybe the rare exception of ultra soft space fantasy stuff like SW or 40k. What does /tg/ think?
>>50470159
The fantastic elements of sci-fi must adhere to a certain degree of logic or believably to be enjoyable. This makes sci-fi much harder to write.
In fantasy having a weapon that floats in the air and fights for its wielder is easy to explain and accept. That is far less true of sci-fi worlds because the tech necessary to do that would have applications that you need to work into the world. Thats just one example. Basically, in general fantasy settings you can explain away the limitations and utility of things by just saying "magic" and in sci-fi you cant.
>>50470159
The real problem as i see it is that it is much harder to have heroic individuals making a difference in a scifi setting. The main reason for this is firearms. With sword and shield you can go around and be a hero, and it is reasonable for you to survive for some time doing this based on the assumption that your just more skilled and badass then everyone else. In scifi it doesnt matter how skilled or badass you are, one laser bolt will end you, and there is honestly jack shit you can do about it. Furthermore scifi tends to have large centralized powers more than fantasy. Heroing works best if the governement can't do shit, cause if the goverment can actually do shit, then there really wouldnt be to much need of heroes cause they'd get all the shit done. This is also why a lot of scifi settings seem to revolve around lawless pc's or rebels out to fuck big brother. All just my opinion, i know none of this is definitive.

Whats your jam?
Stock list or spicy tech?
Are you winning, son?
I built grixis control and have been having fun. Just the stock list everyone is running, I haven't seen much variation to it anywhere. I'm still learning, mostly having difficulty game 1 where I find it hard to determine when I should be aggressive. Once sideboard cards come in it's a lot easier due to the large amount of cantrips available to go through the deck.
>>50448585
>Whats your jam?
pic related in everything
>Stock list or spicy tech?
Spicy pic related main deck in Tron
>Are you winning, son?
I Ghost Quarter'd two of my own tron pieces in a game to keep them from being hit by Crumble to Dust, then played pic related and milled a World Breaker. Felt good. Winning most of my matches.
>>50448585
>Whats your jam?

>What is /awg/?
A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks. /hwg/ doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to very specific games, so this thread isn't tied to a game, or a genre, lets talk about fun wargames.
Any scale, any genre, any company, any minis. Skirmishers welcome. Rules designers welcome.
>Examples of games that qualify
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_miniature_wargames
Mighty Armies, Dragon Rampant, Of Gods and Mortals, Frostgrave, Hordes of the Things, Songs of Blades and Heroes, and anything that doesn't necessarily have a dedicated thread (gorkamundheim).

Gates of antares any good? boromite models look fucking sweet.
Is there really such a thing as heroism in the conceptual enterprise of Warhammer 40k?
The setting is so grim and even moreso dark, that everything in humanity is "Necessary evil to fight greater evil". Is there actually any good? Any actual saviors who come to the rescue out of the goodness of their own hearts? I need your help /tg/. Help me find the good in 40k.
>>50474185
Is this motherfucker saying that the God Emperor isn't heroic?
in the meantime, i might just dump 40k stuff
>>50474204
The god emperor was a bad father, a neglectful leader, and a shortsighted moron. His intentions were unquestioningly pure, his actions were decisively ruinous
ITT: Post one issue you take with 3e D&D, and why it bothers you.
RULES:
1. Try to maintain focus on the core game. Issues brought about by expansions/splats are secondary.
2. You may include Pathfinder in your complaint, but you may not complain about Pathfinder exclusively.
3. Try to read through and make sure someone's not already posted your complaint.
4. Walls of text are welcome, when necessary. Try not to rattle on.
Why even make this thread?
Because there was a similar thread a day ago where people were breaking apart such issues and I'd like to continue those brainstorms if possible.
Issues that have already been brought up & discussed
1. HP Bloat
2. Excessive feat taxes
3. Uneven feat taxes
4. Combat maneuver impracticality
5. Lowlight-vision is thoroughly out-classed/redundant
6. AC is mostly determined by your worn armor
7. Late-game caster supremacy
8. Shields = principally useless
9. Martials don't begin play proportionately superior at fighting
Your faggotry has no end, does it?
>>50468518
>Because there was a similar thread a day ago where people were breaking apart such issues and I'd like to continue those brainstorms if possible.
Why?
What are you hoping to accomplish here?
If you don't like 3.5 then don't play it. Problem solved. There are dozens of other games out there.

Doubly bad when they want to play an intrigue game. Intrigue games aren't necessarily bad, but in my experience, if the players ask for them, it is 100% of the time trouble, what they're really asking for is a license to backstab and act like dickholes without any actual consequence, as everyone else oohs and aaahs at their "brilliance", which is usually descending in like a whirlwind and smashing everything with or without a pulse.
Greetings, /trusted gentlemen/!
I've been lurking for a while now, but never saw anything about a murder party.
I'd like to give it a try, but have no idea how to go about it.
I will soon have a small farm at my disposal, with a few acres of land innawoods, and I'd like to gather there some people for dinner in funny costumes and something interesting to do.
I was thinking about roleplaying some zombie epidemic or Lovecraftian investigation, maybe invite/hire actors or something?
Any ideas, recommandations, guidelines?
Thank you.
>>50483414
Are you going to use a premade MMD pack, or try to create your own?
>>50483442
No clue.
Cheap would be good, i guess, but I have no idea how complex and enjoyable it could be to just diy the whole thing.
What do you think?
>>50483414
>>50483529
Cut out all outside communication (for best results set it up in the middle of a heavy blizzard or something), kill one of them, make the rest figure out who did it. For best results, kill another one every few hours.

They acted so excited for a chance to be immoral pillaging pricks, too. They could've just said they weren't interested in being evil.

Nit sure if there is something already like this in the catalog, but I didn't see anything.
So can we have a general lorebuilding thread?
Have an idea you want to bounce off someone? Need to fix a plothole? Just want to spew walls of lore from your setting?
Do it all here!
So I'm trying to come up with a reason for self regenerating nanobots to not be widely used in a setting. I want this one character to have it, but can't figure out why this tech isn't widespread.
>>50480497
Maybe Nano technology is something that [insert name of super brilliant awesome scientists here] invented and where several hundred years ahead of all the current tech.
>>50480529
The character I want to have it is an android mercenary. So if I were to do that it'd have to be a "stolen tech" thing. Which I'll probably do anyway. But why would the super genius not have backups and be already working on distributing the tech?
Then again, this takes place in space with a collapsing government so I'm sure I could work in a few reasons why.
Thanks, anon.
If I wanted to run a game based on this, theoretically, what would be the best system currently around?

What does millennial culture look like in your setting?tell me about the memes[/spoiler[
>>50482286
The men castrate themselves and the women shave one side of their head, one might argue the men get the shit end of the deal in this regard, but males have enjoyed endless benefits by virtue of their cocks, so by removing their cock the man can experience what it's like to feel true oppression.
