>Red is the Best Multiplayer Color Edition
You got that right. Pic is my deck's multi-purpose all star.

Speaking of Mono-Red, what are the best Mono-Red Mana rocks/fixing?

So my friend bought the old 2013 Naya Precon and doesnt like any of the commanders.
He wanted to try Uril and asked for my help but doesn't want to spend more than $50 to test it out.
Our group is pretty casual with no strong tutors, barely any "good" board wipes and limited control and removal (seriously they all need help because its a bit ridiculous.)

Was wondering how this looked:

My favourite is Monsterhearts

I guess I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys more social-oriented games and is willing to play the genre a little tongue-in-cheek

>>50449549
Savage Worlds. Simply because it's simple and crunchy enough.

But OP, I *do* have a cat.

What would happen if I used Merging+Aspect Manifestation on a Supernatural angel like Zachariah? Assuming it would even work (which I'm doubtful of for several reasons), would it get the rest of Heaven gunning for my ass? I know God himself probably wouldn't care, given his abandonment and the fact he doesn't mind our deuteragonists (who have killed several angels a piece and aren't exactly moral paragons themselves), but I assume that the rest of the Host would start looking for me. Whether they could find me is another matter entirely, but that's beside the point.

>Cat
I never leave home without mine. Though sometimes I don't leave home because of mine.

It needs properties beyond normal language, aka it needs to be magical. EG Dovahzul actually warps the world when spoken by a master (and that many of the ancient users were actual dragons doesn't hurt) and the elven tongue from Eragon (I know, I know, but this idea was one of the goodish ones) was used to form spells and impossible to tell lies with.

Often, in demonology/old one stuff, speaking the name of the demon/horror brings a part of it into our world, meaning that their language has power beyond English.

In my current setting, magic is rather wild and dangerous, but the ancient elven language allows one levels of control over magic. If you use such a language, the speakers have to be dead/rare/really really powerful.

Sure why not.

>First RPG

D&D 3.5 when I was 13-14

>all the campaigns you can remember
I'm going to call a campaign something that lasted more than like 6 sessions.

So, one in highschool that lasted 1.5 years that I played in.

Ran a 3.5 game in College for ~6 months

Then ran a 4e game for ~1 year

Then another 4e game that lasted ~4 months until schedules fell apart.

Then ran another 4e game for about 1 year that actually completed with the players beating the BBEG and epilogue stuff.

Currently running a 5e game that's been going for nearly a year and playing in a 5e game that's been going for 5 months.

With sprinklings of other 2-3 session games here and there in between.

>Genre

All fantasy, ranging from high to low. Some pirates, some survival, currently running intrigue.

>Any other RPG related accomplishments

My friends will still talk moments/dungeons/NPCs they loved years later and it makes everything worth it.

>>50444312
You asked.

>first RPG
AD&D, first edition. We were wacky preteens doing randumb bullshit and torturing goblins and eating chips and having a blast.
>all the campaigns you can remember, length, genre
1. AD&D wackiness. Lasted a long damn time.
2. Gamma World, a very old edition, more wackiness, lasted about three months.
3. More AD&D, lasted about six months perhaps?
4. A bout with ESR("extremely simple roleplaying"), about a month
5. An odd 3.0-esque "homebrew", about five months
6. D&D 5th edition, Hoard of the Dragon Queen, played at my FLGS, about three months
7. A game of "Fiasco!" set in the Midwest, an afternoon
8. D&D 5th edition, Lost Mines of Phandelver (GMed), about 5 months maybe? Scheduling is hard.
9. Two sessions of "The Warren," (Essentially Bunnies & Burrows with the Apocalypse World system, AFAIK), about a month, on hiatus as far as I can tell
10. D&D 5th edition, Princes of the Apocalypse, currently running, for about 3 months now I'd guess
That's just off the top of my head though. ESR and Gamma World were sci-fi, Fiasco! was realistic almost-freeform, Warren was realistic, the rest were fantasy.
>any other RPG related accomplishments or projects
I'm working on a setting, but it's mostly just an excuse to doodle maps and brainstorm mythical deities/cultures in class. And my players tell me I do a good job.

>>50444312
> first RPG you ever played
I read through the AD&D first ed. books a bunch when I was young, but I could never find a group.
> all the campaigns you can remember
N/A... I honestly have no idea how to act or roleplay. I would like to learn, but I don't want to impede on anyone's fun
> how long they were

> any other RPG related accomplishments or projects of yours
Does writing characters I will never have the know-how or opportunity to roleplay count?

>>50442532
Although I've never DMed on a system that uses alignments, I've DMed plenty of villains who had the law by their sides or even actively enforced it. When the law itself is unmoral, the moral thing to do is resist.

In this sense, it's not the villain who has an active plan to do anything, but the PCs. The villain is just defending the statu quo. Bonus points if the statu quo is unmoral and unjust but arguably benefical for the nation as a whole (never the individuals if you don't want your PCs to change sides eagerly)

Lawful Evil is what you THINK Severus Snape is.

> OP shits up the board with his shit threads
For what purpose?

>>50435631
"What do you actually think about this game, what do you most enjoy from it, and what would you most like to see changed?"

No more wishy washy feedback from. Awkward nerds who don't know how to criticize people. I know I'm not perfect, stop acting like I am.

>>50435631
Why, for the glory of Chaos!

Otherwise, for shits and giggles, and to see what they really think of each other's characters and roleplaying.
Although, would it interfere with the roleplaying? Does that come under lying?

>>50435915
You'd want to inject them with it AFTER the session for that, though.
Why not use a polygraph as well?

>Can't fire shoulder missiles while carrying handheld

That's Stalker II levels of retarded design. I can't recall if the rules were changed before or after that though. I know the experimental Quickdraw had the PPC in it's head specifically because of that problem.

They all come from the same vault. One day, the plant roots cause too much damage to their room. They are locked out from the rest of the Vault for the safety of others, but tasked with retrieving stuff that will help those left behind.

Vault Twist: [spoilers]The Vault was designed to constantly and slowly collapse, forcing the inhabitants to tinier and tinier rooms. A few drugs in the air vents and the PCs and all the people there are 6 inches tall.[/spoilers]

Why is it always New Orleans?

Don't get me wrong, it's a perfectly good setting, but I feel like there are other unexplored regions of Fallout that could be used.

Like the Mobile Bay Area.

>>50421739
You could go with a simple raiding party that is starting to attack the settlement tat they find first. Like, after they leave the vault they go to a settlement and find some people who take them in. Raiders are threatening the village, party deals with raiders, heroes get their names out there and someone gives them their big quest. It's simple yet effective.

With over 5000 games played, Team Brisket has been announced to have won the Butcher's Civil War -- albeit by a margin of less than a percent. As a result of this, in season 3 the Butchers are going to be getting a new player -- no, not a captain! -- and that is Veteran Ox, the Master Butcher himself brought back into the fray.

Looks like a bitching model, too.

More news on the Farmers guild has come out as well. They showed the models for a number of their lineup in the keynote presentation, as well as announcing the name of their captain: Thresher.

What is more interesting, though, is that they're moving the game towards preassembled hard plastic miniatures in the same production style as the Kickoff! miniatures. New guilds, including the Farmer's guild, are going to be sold in 6 player packs complete with cardboard tokens and health dials and everything you need to be able to play those characters right in the box. The idea is to be able to slot them in and out of the Kickoff! product interchangeably. Expansions to new guilds are going to apparently be medium sized boxes with 4 models in them. Is that how the Farmers will be? This they didn't say. 8 farmers, by other people's counting, have already been revealed, so to have the 6 + 4 lineup they'll need an extra two models yet unrevealed.

And, of course, there are new players. They confirmed that each guild is going to get at least one completely new player in season 3. The Brewer's Pintpot and the Mason's Granite has already been shown, but here are the Fishermen's Hag and the Mortician's Brainpan & Memory.

Hag is said to have the ability to reposition models on the pitch, and Brainpan & Memory are a two model duo which probably use the same dual activation schema that the new Avarisse & Greede do.

Most of them just have inbuilt filtration/recycling when the setting bothers to actually explain it. From a narrative standpoint it's kind of a waste of time to get into.

>>50455799
Power Catheters.

>>50455839

I agree, there is (and never) should be a mechanical component to it. simply an aspect of worldbuilding to help get an idea of what people wearing fully sealed armor for long periods of time would have to deal with.

Text is a entirely fine way to run RPGs. Using IRC to run games is a time honored tradition. While some games like 3.5 and 4E require a grid in order to resolve combat, most can be run via theater of the mind. It's a great format for dungeon crawls, as RAW B/X wants the players to do all the mapping themselves. I ran a Maid RPG campaign last week, and everything went smoothly.

Look into IRC roleplaying channels OP. There is an official /tg/ IRC server (Suptg), though I use Rizon personally.

>>>/qst/

>>50454825
IRC is a good suggestion, but I feel like it lends itself to larger communities much more then smaller groups? If it's just going to be me DMING a group of about 5 or six, wouldn't it be just another step away from a group chat on the phone?
