Hey M/tg/
Would Legacy be more diverse without Brainstorm? It's pretty clear that brainstorm decks dominate legacy, with most top 8s containing 28-32 copies of Brainstorm. This may be good or this may be bad, but I just want to explore whether this reduces diversity in the format.
Brainstorm fits into every type of deck, so I don't think it can be said to support aggro more than control or anything like that. What it does is make less consistent decks like Big Red, MUD or Jund worse by comparison, to the point that they do not do well at large tournaments.
On the other hand, brainstorm creates archetypes like Stompy. Without as many Brainstorms around, Chalice decks might not be worth playing at all.
What's everyone's opinion? Is Brainstorm keeping everyone else down or not?

It would weaken the dominance of blue decks but it wouldn't add any diversity. If you want to add diversity ban Force of Will.

>If you want to add diversity ban Force of Will.
You mean "if you want the format to be 90% Combo".

>>48072364
Then ban problematic combo engines or pieces. A 1CC mono-U cantrip that helps consistency isn't the reason diversity is limited.

I have to say that corrupting a child in real life like that is pretty bad.
I get pretty sad when I see it.
I went to school to become a teacher. But after finishing my bachelor's I did some work with my degree and discovered that the world is a pretty terrible place and if I were to enter it trying to make it better, I will inevitably fail some people through no fault of my own.
And though it's not my fault, it would kill me to fail to help those people be better. It's not enough to help some people to me, I have to get everyone on some same page. And if I had to teach a room full of 30 kids and have 10 of them ultimately leave just as retarded as I left them, I would lose it.
I coordinate firefighting now. Either you win or you lose. But everything you do matters.

Hi /tg/, not a usual poster here.
What would you recommend to someone who is interested in tabletop RPGs and, more generally, good boardgames, but has never played anything more complex than Monopoly? Just a real scrub of a human. Not even many video games.I'm the scrub. It's me. My family was dirt-sucking poor.

Last time we met with a strange mental interference ability at a house in Shinto, and died for the first time at Miyama the next day. Let's try and avoid getting another bad end.
===
Info Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L5-s3EIlzJJ2Mt_wQLDV-6oH0Y4fFHHBhQUd_2_3RTA/pub
===
You clench your jaw at Kiyohime's remark that there's a Servant in the sky above you, apparently beyond the limits of yours or your partner's sight given that neither of you can catch sight of such a being. However, before you can either instruct Kiyohime to leap up to try and get a better look, or to stay where she is and take cover with you, she blinks, turning to you with a trace of confusion on her countenance.
"...they're gone. They...it's like they flew off, but that speed was...impossible." She murmurs under her breath, in a state of disbelief for the first time since you've summoned her. "Over a hundred...no, maybe even over a thousand times faster than me doesn't give them justice. What sort of ability does it take for a Servant to reach that speed?" She whispers, half to herself and half to you, before calming down a bit. "Sorry, Anchin-sama. I could try to follow them, but even if I could that would mean leaving you defenseless."
You can't explain why, but you feel compelled to not let Kiyohime leave you, even if her Stalking skill gives her a chance at following the Servant that had just left. After your lengthy search of Miyama, much of the day has wasted away, so you're once more left with the choice of where it is that you should go.
[] The Church.
[] The Park.
[] The Forest.

Let's hit up the Church again.
>>
You decide to head to the Church. Going to the forest is unlikely to bring any results since it's still daytime, and you've talked to Xuan enough, so trying to get some information out of Elena might be your best use of time.
Given that the Church is clear on the other side of town, the walk there is a lengthy one, made longer by the fact that Kiyohime seems to be perturbed by the sheer speed she had witnessed minutes earlier. Granted, you're bothered about it too; over a thousand times faster than a Servant...that's at the point of being called a relativistic speed. Just how can something reach that level of speed?
Regardless, in due time you arrive at the Church, but stop as you enter. The reason is simple: there is not one person there, but two.
The overseer, Elena.
The mystery woman, Xuan.
The two seem to be locked in a conversation when you enter the Church, both of them snapping around to face you.
"Oh, it's you! Come in, come in~ Elena here and I were just having a chat."
"Wait, you two know each other?"
[] "...what are you doing here, Xuan?"
[] Turn around and walk out.
[] Just stand there, looking confused.

By Archer-esque do you mean a campaign in which a group of ostensibly very capable professionals bugger up every mission in increasingly zany ways, but most frequently by being a bunch of dysfunctional glory hounds? Because that is almost every game I have ever had.

I don't see how these two are related and how is the latter one bad unless there is metagaming involved.
>>
>>48068432
The latter is fine if you're playing a smart character. Less so if you're playing the fool of the group.
>>
>>48068432
Loki and Thor in the old myths adventuring around, Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, the Fellowship of the Ring, just about any good fantasy story has the heroes making rash/risky/emotional decisions.
It's what separates a fun adventure from tabletop Final Fantasy Tactics.
The players are supposed to be adventurous risk takers, they should have an impulsive element to them, not act like a bunch of Vulcans (unless they are a bunch of literal Vulcans).

Fellow GMs I need your help.
I'm currently brewing a realistic XIII century setting and everything is doing fine, since I love medieval history and I sorta know my stuff in the matter.
Problem is I really want to come up with something original regarding religion, a cult which echoes Catholicism and covers pretty much the same social layers the medieval Church did.
I want to avoid something like The Seven Pointed Stars, cause it's both unoriginal and an obvious rip-off, but my creativity just went blank today.
Keep in mind this world has crusades, abbeys and archbishops, so I might as well go full Jesus and fuck off, but I really want to find an entertaining alternative.

I wonder what the possible benefits of putting an interdictor into low orbit could be. Seems like unnecessarily putting a valuable asset at risk.
with that said, what do folks think of the new admiral and interdictor stats for armada? seems like a surprisingly solid ship on its own, with a lot of solid tricks onboard.
>>
>>48029400
Given the presence of the SSD, several Imperial-class escorts, and Death Star in the background, it was likely part of a defensive formation.
>>
>>48029898
I mean, the Death Star almost brings up more questions then it answers. why deploy this formation into close orbit with a death star overhead? are they securing a VIP from a planet before blasting it, or is the death star supposed to be there just to remind you everything is star wars-y?

Multiclass out.
A bit more seriously, the class gets Rebuke Undead and has no alignment restriction, from what I remember. I believe the cheese involves multiclassing to Cleric with Turn Undead - since the two act as independent pools - and then get some abilities that rely on Turn/Rebuke charges to activate. Extra Turning could (depending on DM interpretation) apply to both, giving you even more uses.
Other than that, I've not heard anything outstanding about the class.

Mystic Theurge is better for straight up necromancy.
