I'm looking for enchanted items for my next AnyWOT Fantasy campaign. Also, handy non-enchanted items and bric-a-brac.

Do you guys have anything handy in archive?

Everything from funny to funky to furious wanted. As some examples...

>Giant Spider Silk Glove: Allows for maximum, comfortable grip from any point of contact. Two fingertips will secure you against a surface for as long as you like; one fingertip allows you to rotate around that point.
>Boot of Spring-Heeled Jack: Singular boot of supernatural jumping capability. The location of the other boot is unknown.
>Vorpal Sword: This sword contains the soul of a cheerful executioner. He knows when he's being used to chop off heads, and will happily work extra hard to make that happen. Bonuses for decaptitating blows, and also cauterises any clean cut it makes.
>Gravity Belt: Allows the wearer to temporarily increase or decrease their mass with no apparent drawbacks, within reason.
>Repeating Crossbow: If it hits a target in sight, then all subsequent shots will, if so desired by the shooter, hit the target if it is still in sight. Will also repeat anything the wielder says in a loud, boastful voice.
>Socketed Shield: There are many enchanted gems in the setting, containing charges for elemental powers or magicl spells etc. This shield is designed to hold several such gems in stasis, guarding against their properties until such gems are removed (eg. a gem with a fire charge traditionally used to make burning swords or as a fancy torchpiece will give the shield fire resistance, and the nature of its protection will improve with the quality of the gem, up to and including total protection).
>Venerable Satchel: A small, palm-sized pouch. It contains seemingly unlimited supplies and variety of lint, hardboiled sweets, and sweets coated in lint.

>Before Socrates, the common Greek outlook on Happiness was that is was a blessing from the Gods, and to hope to gain Happiness for oneself was hubris and ultimately self-defeating.
>Socrates argued that Happiness can be obtained through conscious effort and careful harmonization of our desires, knowledge, and virtues
>Desire can be "educated" and directed, and only by this can Happiness be achieved

Are game designers ultimately philosophers? Is the pursuit of Happiness through constructed games a path to wisdom?

Either everyone has gone Standard and Modern crazy or no one simply cares. No one wants to talk current meta, decks, or Pauper. They just want to post their personal Shitbrew or just not post at all.

>MTGO Pauper Guide
https://www.cardhoarder.com/mtgo-beginner-guide

>What are some top tier decks I can get on MTGO/Paper?
http://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/pauper

>BUT I WANT TO SEE ALL VIABLE DECKS!
http://tappedout.net/users/fruuty/deck-folders/

>Which rules should I follow?
If you don't already have some homebrew version with friends, follow the MTGO card pool and banlist (and please spread this to your friends that start playing with you). Currently the only place Pauper is officially supported by Wizards is online, and they have a card pool and banlist, therefore that is the format we should be using offline on paper as well, since decks and cards can transfer to games between each other with no confusion.

>WAHHH THATS TOO HARD WHERE...
http://www.mtg-hunter.com
The bottom left has a box, select MTGO Pauper, all cards in the card pool and banlist are taken into account.

>What deck should I use?
Ask in the thread!

>Is MTGO worth it?
If you have no local paper competition, but want to play a vast amount of Pauper, it can't be beat, even if it is a clunky GUI, you learn quickly.

Some good decks for newbies include but are not limited to:
>Burn
>Elves
>Goblins
>Stompy
>Slivers
>Affinity
>Mono U control
>UB Teachings

Is it possible to cure someone of being a bad sport?

Me, I'm a bad sport and I hate it, no matter what I do I always go into full sulk mode.

I recite a "it's only a game, have fun" in my head, I even recite "It doesn't matter, win or lose it doesn't matter"

once upon a time, winning or losing didn't matter, how does one get back there?

I'm want to run a Viking campaign (possibly Varangian, probably Varangian, those guys are cool), and I'm trying to look for a good system that would work well for such. Help a guy out?

Now, it doesn't need to be an rpg about vikings specifically or anything, those things tend to be easy enough to fidget around. I'm more intrested in finding a game that has a good feel to it. There's likely going to be a lot of combat, and I think that it should feel pretty concrete and immediate instead of heavy and abstract. Some "oomph" to it, so to speak. It should feel like a quick and dirty affair, with some level of detail. So, basically something where the combat is "realistic" and quick, but not skimmed over.

I've looked at stuff like Riddle of Steel, but that's so focused on single combat, man-on-man, that it just wouldn't work, in my opinion. The system still needs to have enough flex to improvise situations and allow for various scenarios. Also, there's probably going to be larger battles as well, so it'd be good if the game could handle more than a few combatants on the battlefield without slowing down immensely.

So, any suggestions for a system that has rewarding, quick, punchy combat with a good feel for it that can take care of a variety of situations a wandering band of viking raiders/explorers/merchants might run into?
