A new type of mathmatics was discovered that allowed thoughts to be translated into a physical force that can affect objects.

However, to utilize this requires extensive surgical procedure to augment the brain as well as years of education to fully utilize.

Many scholars and scientist who've undergone this procedure have otherwise been given the derogetory term of "wizard"

Eh, I don't blame them honestly, staff shouldn't be pressing one side or the other on politics, they're there to sell games.

oh also inb4 200 alt-right garbage replies about hanging sjws

>>48981037
Opposite problem. Autists of every age wandering in and bellowing about Crooked Hillary and MAGA. They're in the minority of course, but they're the mostly likely to make a scene. The alt-leftys on the other hand tend to keep to themselves, unless you specifically try and talk to them about politics, in which case they go pretty hard. So I guess a mixed bag all in all.

>>48980569
shit I meant a nat 20 on a spot

That player spots them?

If the ambush was too difficult for them to spot even by rolling a 20, I wouldn't have made them roll.

>>48980569

person who rolls nat 20 automatically at top of initiative sheet

OR

Let him get attacks of opportunity even though he'd usually be flat footed in an ambush situation

It's cool, I just wish it could settle on a tone a little better.

It gets pretty goofy sometimes.

You can't just start up these thread on your own, friendo. We have a steam group. Join it if you want to keep up to date with the Mage's Guild.

Archwizard Antruthius, Mage of the Ninth Order, my opinions are as well known as always. Such blades as theirs are more versatile than our weaponry. Surely, it would be a shame to have such a great font of knowledge as a wizard be lost because of some petty restrictions.

He's an Eldritch Horror who loves fucking with people for shits and giggles. He also seems to be pretty chill.

>>48980026
I wonder which I should open.

>>48980063
You shouldn't.
You won't be able to draft with them.
A few chase rares aside, that's their main purpose.

No one? No advice for me?

>>48980027
/tg/ is pretty slow, my main man. Just chillerino all around and play the waiting game. Or do something else. It's up to you, y'know?

>>48979842
just follow the directions for creating a character, and pick options that sound cool
you don't really need to worry about being underpowered as a caster in 3.5, you'll be useful no matter what options you pick

Bump?

Agony doesn't seem to be a combat oriented game so probably don't use 3.pathfinder or 5th edition. I haven't played either of the Darkness ones but Call of Cthulhu might be a suitable one since it has a very lethal combat system. You could easily tweek the book for your setting and it does have neat sanity meter that you could use. The book has you covered on the occult part too.

>>48979789
Never played CoC, but I always wanted to learn. Is it easy to learn? Which edition do I use?

>>48978853
Nope. But I'm an introvert with years of drama training and performance behind me, living in fantastical head worlds and exploring emotional states is kind of my job.

Just don't grasp for it, man. The harder you try to cling to a feeling the faster it'll skitter away. You have to just soak in it and let it pass, knowing that someday you WILL feel it again.

I find that scents can take me back to a memory or fantasy real fast. The scent of pines puts me back in Scouts and the make believe worlds we used to play in, the smell of loam and earth after a rain makes me imagine dark, primeval woods, heck someone smoking a Camel makes me think of Westerns on an old tube TV (thanks grandpa).

It doesn't have to be something that specific or hard to come by either. When I'm stuck in someplace shitty like LA that smells like hot garbage and desperate fear piss I cook something I relate to a specific memory or book. If you want to get hippy dippy with it, try putting a couple drops of an essential oil in some hot water, sit in a dimmed room, put on some of those 'certain songs', breath deep, and see where it takes you. If you want to get REALLY hippy dippy, smoke a jay first (imbibe responsibly).

But above all else, watch what you eat. You're a chemical being and overdoing sugar, caffeine, and the crazy fats you find in a lot of stuff nowadays can make holding on to the moment and recreating feelings really hard. I was a sugar/caffeine junkie pretty hardcore while I was doing work on stage, and it got to the point where it hurt my work. I just couldn't get to the emotional and mental place I needed to anymore.


TL;DR
No feeling is gone forever, duder, and feeding/wallowing in feelings of emptiness or existential angst is only useful as an occasional palate cleanser. You're a human, man. Enjoy the whole spectrum and realize that fantasy is a mindset, not a place. Peace, love, and all that jazz.

No.

In a crown Royal bag.

Or in my pockets.

It's not like I'm playing a game that requires 300 dice for no reason.

Unless I'm playing Orks, and I bring a bucket filled with dice to intimidate the other players.

The dice up top are some I really like: A d20 my older brother, 17 years my senior, for some reason let me chew on when I was a toddler (and yeah, it's older than me.) the big d6 is from Dark Castle Collectibles, who went belly-up last week. The blue d6 is from my local comic shop, Carolina Comics. The tan d6 was a gift from my little sister. It has the face of Jake the Dog on the 1 face.

>Which setting has the best fluff?

The one you design yourself, silly!

Seriously though it's Eberron.

Planescape.

No, because Wizards has likely forgotten it already.

>>48977024
Eh, you forgot to mention it the whole downside being pretty much fuckery of all sorts, and that Karn created it as a probe. Maybe they could use it, maybe it just causes infighting among the factions even more.

>>48977024
I always assumed that the Mirari was an lone relic of the true Phyrexia, which was only unspeakably powerful in comparison to the post-devestation backwater that was the Odessy block. I also assumed it was the source of the oil in New Phyrexia, thus giving them even a hint of a claim to the name Phyrexia.... because the oil came from a relic of the original Phyrexia.

Was I wrong. I honestly stoped following the plot after invasion block.

>are people friendly and welcoming

Mileage may vary. Most of the people I've met through Magic were pretty chill in all. Definitely on the tryhard side but not full on assholes.

I would recommend going online and seeing what B/W decks they have for standard. Magic is a really fun game but it's also pretty obtuse to get your head around especially if you want to play competitively at FNM.

Also don't be afraid to buy singles, you'll save way more money.

If you want to find a reason to use all your cards look into / ask about people about playing Cube of Pauper magic.

BW Control is a bit pricy, but amazing. I run a BW Ally Control that is decent enough all around but since it's a bit unusual it's difficult to board against.

Thanks for your advice so far, I like the look of that deck, I'll probably combine the advice and buy some singles to bulk out my deck. Here it is so far, if anyone could give some tips about what I need or recommend other B/W decks for me to look at i'd really appreciate it.

I built this, so far, entirely out of booster packs but its the best I could make and took me a long time.

If you don't know about Fiasco, do yourself a favor and look it up. Very adaptable, easy to learn system with an emphasis on character and storytelling (but also makes it effortless and fun as hell.)

If interested I'll add you to the group on skype.

Playsets we can use going in:

>Camp Death (80's slasher horror scenario)
>Fiasco High (High School Melodrama)
>Attack of the 50ft Fiasco! (50's horror homage)

Or whatever other playset we agree on.

>Additional Information
Handful of players, may not play all the time but as and when you can. There will be an overarching plot to the games, like a civl war breaking out in to the hive to an invasion of Chaos-Aligned forces.

There will also be roleplay, with your gang leader as your main PC.
