We all know that Wizards has, perhaps not the best writing or design team on board for magic right now. It has led me to remember fondly the set I started with, Mirrodin, and that got me thinking.
When do all of you think magic hit its peak, or peaks. In terms of good story, in terms of interesting settings and flavor, And of course in terms of good game mechanics?
I'm sure for a lot of people that will be three completely different answers, and I'm also sure there is a lot of nostalgia in this but I hold that mirrodin is the best magic has been, at least while i have played.

Peaked in Urza's Block, Mirrodin Block and then again in New Phyrexia
It always peaks when they do an artifact block because then they have to decrease power in the next one

>In terms of good story, in terms of interesting settings and flavor, And of course in terms of good game mechanics?
Story: The entire Rath Cycle, from its beginnings during Weatherlight to the conclusion in Apocalypse. I loved the entire saga. If I had to pick my favorite piece, I'd take Urza Block.
Flavor/Setting: Kamigawa, actually. It was daring, unique, generally tried to be faithful to the source, and I honestly just liked it.
Mechanics? Time Spiral. In fact, Ravnica/TS/Coldsnap was Magic's high point for me. Everything else has been, at best, a sidegrade or, at worst, fucking terrible.

The reason we aren't roleplaying yet is because I plan to let the community to choose what the server will be. Then I will start enforcing slight rules.
>Why are you playing this game and not posting on /v/ instead?
Because Minecraft has been part of /tg/, see the server archives on warosu. Also I plan to turn this server into a /tg/ RP server like the Dwarf Fortress RP server we used to go to.
>How do I join?
Set Minecraft to 1.9 and just connect on the IP 73.83.246.202:25565
>What are the rules?
The only rule is not be a dick.
>But won't this thread stagnate like the rest?
Combat also got revamped because Microsoft finally started losing 12yos to buy the game. Instead of sprinting at eachother like retards or going #mlg and running in a circle while hitting a guy with the mouse sensitivity of an arthritic old man, you now cautiously engage eachother with a kind of sword + board combo. Or you can just shoot the guy to death with arrows as he thinks his shield covers his whole body, whatever.
-
I do ask everybody to use
http://resourcepack.net/conquest-resource-pack/
as it will encourage a different kind of building.
Also during the vote, we have cannons, giants, Diablolike mini-bosses, and other fun plugins for everybody to experiment with.
>A poll to decide the fate of said server.
http://strawpoll.me/7192086/r
Once a vote wins, I will turn the server into said winning vote and also start "enforcing" light RP.
Also sorry for my shit English.

The vote that won was Minecraft Server on /tg/ that use's mods so it can get as close to Dwarf Fortress as possible.

Why is it fair, or unfair, for a GM to make his rolls behind a screen or keep the enemies' stats hidden from the players?

Neither method is inherently fair or unfair.
The rationale for why it's "fair" though usually amounts to the argument hiding your rolls means your players won't know the enemy stats and therefore can't use meta knowledge to win.
I disagree with this; meta knowledge means jack dick in combat. Knowing out of character how many times you need to hit an enemy to kill it doesn't change the number of times you need to hit it. I don't tell my players stat blocks, but it's no skin off my nose if they figure it out.
Dice rolls I usually let my players see because again, it's not like it changes anything. I feel it's a matter of trust. I like to let my players know I have no intention of lying or fudging rolls.

>>46270322
Make a roll, the GM may or may not tell you what he is since you don't have access to the enemies' stats.

Your name is Isabella Voltaire, you hope that will be Isabella of House Voltaire shortly. You have succeeded in your objective of rescuing your Princess from a dragon although you can hardly claim to have done all of the work or even most of the work even if your princess insists you did. On the other hand, out of the two of you, you do happen to be the only one with a lasting injury in your blackened ankel. You would compare yourself to the elf you left behind but you didn’t get a good look at him, aside from being able to tell that his injuries were not enough to cripple him, at least when you saw him last.
You are currently:

The rising sun shines upon you, as you are laying on the rocky ground. Last night you have woke up in the middle of a winter-forest, with nothing but your tattered clothing, a rope-belt, and a knife. You have been chased by monsters trough half the forest and took shelter under a tree. The most peculiar is, that you have no personal memories before yesterday.
All you have is your skill to survival, your meager belongings, and the unbreakable will to survive.
You look around and take back your previous statement; most peculiar thing right now, is that you aren't in the same location you were a minute ago. Yes there are still trees, but they aren't the snow covered pine trees you maneuvered during last night. They are wide oaks, and long breech trees, with lush vegetation everywhere. It looks like spring. The river and the waterfall where you stopped last night, is nowhere in sight.

"Whuzzgoinon?" Emi asks, having been shaken awake by Ilica.
"Something bad" Ilica says. "Wake up so we can get up"
You hear Derrick grunt as he opens his eyes and tries to sit up. Unfortunately, Ilica is on top of him in this pile. "What's happening?" He asks, still obviously groggy.
"Warning bells, explosions" Ilica says. "Emigetupbeforethingsgetworse"
"Okay, jeez" Emi whines.
No sooner is Emi's tail loose than Ilica is on her feet. Derrick is second to be up, followed by Emi herself.
You take a bit longer, having been burdened with the children. It takes a second to get them off of you without waking them.
"Any idea what's going on out there?" Derrick asks.
"No, all we've heard is the bells and what sounded like an explosion" Ilica says.
Derrick closes his eyes and thinks, opening them after a few seconds. "First off, we need to find out what's going on ou-"
As he's finishing his sentence, another explosion sounds off outside. The room goes absolutely silent, until Ilica hisses and takes cover behind the bed just before a piece of rubble crashes through the outside wall.
You instinctively shield Fran's daughters, but thankfully someone else has a better instinctive shield than you do.
Emi rears up and holds her arms out. Her arms glow a faint blue as a chunk of ice clashes with the rubble, stopping it in its tracks. She then flops down onto the bed, as the room goes quiet again.

2017, the Scandinavian government proposes several lines of artificial workers to replace menial or dangerous tasks for humans. The proposal is met with a resounding support from the public at large as well as delegations unanimously and production reaches peak en-mass in 2019.
By early 2020 construction, factory, and even social service jobs are almost entirely delegated to artificial workers, some embrace this new living, but others are embittered to be out of a manual labor job.
In 2021, the first social artifices or "Arties" are produced for in-home social interaction service, performing house work, cooking, cleaning, or just being a friend to whomever bought them.
As the years proceed from 2021 to 2024, the market for Arties explodes, new models and variants are produced and shipped daily to homes across the country, and even well into the rest of Europe and the Americas.
Their more advanced social software giving them a degree of self awareness and emotional perception causes many Arties to easily distinguish the line between human freedom and artificial servitude.
By 2026 Arties both new and old begin to sue for equal rights, protesting and even using virus tactics to spread the word, and the awareness, to non-Artie models of artificials.
The countries are split in decision as some populace sympathize with the Arties, but the more bellicose an more numerous believe they could be dangerous or that their very nature makes them unjust and unsuited for real citizenship.
The bill comes and is shot down numerous times and by 2027 Arties begin to organize terrorist attacks to make their voice heard.
Outraged, the government responds in the most callous yet humane way possible, Arties are officially outlawed under penalty of dismantling, any caught by police within city limits will likewise be dismantled with warning.

The resulting scene can only be described as a military crackdown, arties being brutally dismantled by force in the streets and in homes, those with a better mind for self preservation flee the city and into the wilderness, but some manage to stay in an illegal underground that is consistantly hounded by police.
By 2029, walls are erected outside of every major city and pathways in and out are heavily guarded to prevent any artificials from coming in.
Out in the countryside, however, the Arties seem to thrive in a new way of life.
Who are you, in this world? (vote with the number)
1. A policeman serving a line of duty
2. An underground engineer
3. A reassembled Artie-04U

It's unlikely to be a fake, most of the fakes are on older cards. They don't really bother with fake print runs on recent or new sets.

Looks like it might have been faded so badly that it went gold
Seems more likely than any alternatives
Anyone else got Planescape Torment 2?
My impression - Tides of Numenera is Torment. The factions are copied, the encounters are copied, the story line is copied. Everything is copied, with a bit of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. / Roadside Picnic thrown in. If you wanted Torment, you got Torment. Except, playing a carbon copy of it just doesn't bring anything to the table. They could have done so much with the world, and they didn't. I guess this is why sequels are always inevitably shit.

I just create a own setting, with physical and active gods. Also with evenly matched monsters and opponents. And I do not see how the world is NOT dominated (and depends) by God Kings which completely overshadowing the mortals.
