Best of luck to you Shoggy, get yourself sorted out first no worries! Fingers are crossed.

I'm desperately craving for my next AGP fix but life is shit and all that, get yourself sorted, we can wait.

Honestly Twilight is still one of the biggest disappointments for me, just because it has all the worldbuilding ingredients to base a fucking awesome story off of but instead they chose to do a shitty romance.

Oh people still play Pokemon, and yes there ARE a lot of nostalgiafags and kids that play it too.
However, the game has far more problems than just the people. Your card is an example of a basic Pokemon in 1999. Pic related is an example of a """""""""basic""""""""""" pokemon nowadays.

Power creep is out of fucking control in Pokemon. And it is what drives prices and sales, mostly to kids. So eh i personally would not bother with it.

>>47961811
This is patently false. Sure it's "power creeped" from fucking 1999, but has found an equilibrium. Many of the decks from HGSS, and Black/White would fare fine in today's meta with minor tweaks. The biggest problem and money sink is the rotation.

I recently looked into it at only found two changes to the old rules. Confusion deals 30 instead of 20 and when your opponent does not have any basic Pokemon you (may) draw 1 extra card each time they redraw instead of 2.

150 hp.

I forget the shield distribution or Winstons'

Kill yourself faggot

>>47961476
What system? Personally, i'd use Feng Shui, just because Battlechimp Potemkin is a named character in that setting.

He's a cybernetically augmented war gorilla.

>>47961439
Eclipse Phase.

Dungeon World
It's pretty much objectively one of the best currently out there. It has fast easy to use mechsnics and is perfect for beginners, it's a lot cheaper than most of these other rules bloated systems that cost fifty dollars. There is no reason for extra rules when it is he role playing that matters. Dungeon World is fast and innovative and still feels exactly like the spirit of ADND before DnD 3.5 destroyed the hobby and ruined a generation of role players.

>>47965960
Doesn't EP base it like 99% on what sort of [mold? frame?] you chose?

>Didn't even prewrite or greentext summarize his shitty 3.5 story

Don't bother finishing. Here's the advice though: your DM sounds terrible and there's no reconning that.

>>47961080 (OP)

So. Since the kensai had no issues with my pc, they actually became friends and had a pretty tight bond. The kensai acted as the straight man, while my character was, in a way, the comic relief, trying so hard to "be an hero" and badly failing.
We traveled around fucking around with some Far Realm involved aberrations, and eventually "space traveling" because the GM recently discovered Asimov and didn't understand the concept of "plane". I told him to try and adapt Spelljammer, but he didn't listen.
Eventually we ended up fighting some demon lord which slayed mr. father-in-law/demigod and eventually my pc's wife. Then, when my character calmly casted "Trap the Soul" to get her back and eventually reincarnate her, he didn't say something like "the demon ate it" or "it was torn and destroyed". No. It melted in plasma. I shit not, he said that. And there I said, dumbfounded, "what plasma?".
"If you rolled Spot, you would have seen that the pool on your right is full of plasma."
We gazed upon him with a thousand years of confusion in our eyes. A pool of plasma. A POOL. OF PLASMA. WHICH MELTS SOULS.

And that isn't even the end of it. After the demon, he wanted a futuristic ending in a spaceship with a fungus-like Elder God mocking us while we crashed in a planet for some reason. So, well, we died. Kensai excluded, since he wasn't in the spaceship. So, there I said "well, I guess my character's soul will get back in the Abyss". But no. Because the place we got was so far in space that "the soul would need a thousand years to get back to the Abyss". And there the campaign ended. But I wasn't satisfied.

>>47961290
Sorry, I got back home recently and thought of this story that I wanted to share. Didn't think much about the how. You're kinda right, but I want to end it, even though nobody will read it. Also I kinda dislike greentext.

>>47961411

Since I wasn't happy with that ending, I talked about it with my friends, and since it was profoundly dumb and I got fond of my stupid special OC, we decided that in the end he got back from the Abyss, paid for the resurrection of the others, and ended up becoming the Kensai's family's guardian, training his descendants in the years. Nothing special, really, but I wanted a better ending for them. I also was sixteen and very prone to angst, like every sixteen years old. And that's the end of my shitty 3.5 story.

Mage Wars is the best dueling wizards card game you could possibly play.

The mechanic of having your entire deck available to you and picking two spells at the start (for Arena) or when needed (for academy) make far more sense than a random card draw from a thematic standpoint.

The base game will keep you playing for a good long while, but the expansions are universally well done with the absolute weakest being Conquest of Kilimanjaro (and even that one was okay).

It is hard to get into and most people won't take the time to learn it though.

Academy is a good introduction to the concepts and offers plenty of quick play sessions, however, when compared to Arena or Battlegrounds it is super simplistic and off putting to many Mage Wars veterans because it gets rid of movement, zone control, building walls, and a whole spell class.

That said Academy does offer a lot of the feel of the same game, faster play, lower damage numbers, and all in all a newbie friendly experience. It also helps that the cards from Academy CAN be used in Arena but not vice versa.

Rolling dice for damage and effects is off putting to many people though, so be advised that they exist.

>>47961016
I have everything for Mage Wars Arena that's out so far except Forcemaster v Warlord and the Spell Tomes. It's an awesome game with crazy fucking depth.

>>47961016
The only issue I've encountered is lack of serious opponents.
It's always me lending premade decks to my filthy casual friends and going easy on them while they grasp the mechanics.

Pros: Fukken AT-fields

Cons: LIBERA TUTEMET EX INFERNIS!

...or something like that

>Status of Super Science
Personally I've always wanted to see a cave-man setting with super heroes. It's the stone age and people start developing super powers. Maybe there are even kaiju dinosaurs and super powered homo erectus and neanderthal?

Geeze, these threads usually don't just die like this. I wonder what's wrong?

No, but I did play with my younger brother. We had fun. And my best friends dad is our GM typically. Nothing better than being able to play with a very knowledgeable and creative older player that doesnt be all "I'm older, back in my day, etc."

To live in? Republics because, on some level, the government is meant to listen to the people.

To rule? Empire because absolute authority kicks ass.


However i'd prefer a true meritocracy ruled by a council of the best of every field because then, at the very least, I can be sure that the government is competent.

I'm a sucker for The Republic/The Alliance/The Federation.

I was always rooting for the Old Republic/New Republic/etc in Star Wars even though they're forever doomed to be civilization-wide 'backdrop good guys who lose so the real heroes can rise up and save us'. I mean, at least all the Empires /get/ a golden period of winning and being strong.

Similarly, in LOGH, I was firmly on the Alliance's side even given all their issues. I sympathized with all of said problems, as an American and holy shit wow that hurts bad and hits REALLY close to home, plus >modern style, plus >democracy, >berets, etc.

LOGH also helped me get over my Empire-phobia a bit, but I'll always support Freedom and Democracy in the end. Republics in particular sound cool to me.
