You didn't even need to tell him, he summons another one of his powerful tornadoes. It grabs the monster and effortlessly tosses it into the pit. The sand and water mixes in the monster's mouth to form a sticky sludge which clings to it.

One of its heads desperately snaps at Dorje. With a disgusting gurgle, the makeshift bog swallows it whole.

"Holy-" Cody's mouth is agape.

"Huh, I didn't even think about that." Dorje seems shocked.

You put your hand on Dorje's head and muss up his white hair.
"Aye, that's why I'm the Capt'n." You smile, "Ye did pretty good out thar, ye ever fight a demon before?"
"Once." He pulls your hand off his head. "And I had a lot of help."

"Aw, Kid. C'mon." Cody taps his shoulder. "You did fine, great job with the sand."

Toward the bog, you notice that there are still bubbles rising to the surface.

It has been twenty years. You were once a soldier, part of X-Com. Every mission you left the Skyranger with a full complement of troopers, every mission you came back alone. The toll left not only a mark on you but the rest of the project in general. As the combat got worse, the organization started to become more desperate, throwing any recruits they could grab at the problem in the hopes it would fix itself. Obviously, it didn't.

But, that was in the past, wasn't it? You haven't been a part of X-Com in years. But you feel something pulling at your heart. Your blood is boiling to return to the fight, and to be a part of something great again. You can't deny it, no matter how much your more mind rebels against the thought of watching more people die because you couldn't save them.

A phonecall wakes you up in the middle of the night. Which is odd, because this particular phone hasn't rung in nearly seventeen years. When the last X-Com base fell, and anyone who got out did.

The pentagonal shield has gone white from being left out in the sun, its original color once blue.

The box was once considered the epitome of sleek back in its day, but the newer phones coming out make it seem like a dark green brick. The bulky thing hums as it vibrates against the table, hidden underneath a stack of papers and magazines.

It's impossible to deny your urge to pick it up.

"Hello," Comes a voice you thought you'd never hear again, "It's time."

Time to report in to Central.

First, pick a skillset.

>Mechanist
You are the modern craftsman. You turn raw parts into working works of art. You were once part of the science team for X-Com, but during the course of the war you got roped into the fighting as a raw recruit when one too many experiments failed.

>Guerilla
The war never ended. Long have you waged it, and never did a day pass where you weren't fighting. In forests you never make a sound, in the concrete jungle your shadow blends with the surrounding darkness. Unfortunately, anything outside of ambushes and killing is a bit beyond you.

>Revolutionary
When all others voices went silent, you spoke up. Your spirit may wane but never your words. A true firebrand, people are your weapons as much as your firearm. Never had a better leader graced the ranks of X-Com. But why does no one ever return with you, then?

>Mended
You weren't left unscathed by the war. They promised you that the EXO program would give you an advantage over anything else. Sadly, that never grew into fruition. You are tough, sturdy, with most limbs and other parts of your body being completely cybernetic. You aren't fast though, and you feel phantom pain of your limbs daily.

>>45520852

>Mechanist

On some missions, others died because were hesitant to break precious alien technology with explosives at your and Vahlen's urging.
On other missions, you survived because you were able to divine purpose of a new artifact and duck split second faster than your squadmates

No. Enchanted weapons are par the course for legends of chivalrous knights and divine warriors.

>>45519576

No, just like it isn't unchivalrous to use plate armor against peasants wearing cloth.

By historical an literary precedent - no.

Roland fought with durendal, the cid with tizona. the former was supposedly indestructible, while the latter was known by sight to every moor and caused them to flee or surrender in fear.

You stand in front of the door leading into the temple. It possesses no obvious handle and an esoteric carving on its front. Kyra and Quissonce are currently going over it with a fine-tooth comb to avoid any traps, magical or otherwise, from disintegrating you all when you eventually figure out how to open the damn thing. That will probably take a few hours at the least, considering how cautious they're being.

Gabby is on the roof, smashing all the gargoyles that did not come to life and try to kill you yesterday with a large club, most likely a souvenir from your orc encounters. You're all pretty sure the rest are mere statues, but no one feels the need to steer Gabby from her violent urges.

Eve is on decanter duty, moving across the garden in a methodical manner, hosing everything in sight. Wherever the holy water seeps in, the land seems to lose the majority of its taint. However Dolah has told you that the corruption is still spreading and resides deeper than the blessed waters can touch.

Speaking of Dolah, she and your lover are currently having a talk with Paul.

“I can help!” he assures them emphatically.

“You may lose control of your rational senses with time. You're a liability.” Dolah rebuts.

Rowe rolls her eyes and puts her hand on Paul's clammy shoulder, deciding to adopt a kinder approach.“You can help by staying out here, Paul. We could use somebody watching the horses and our rear. And Alan's probably going to be blasting positive energy all over the place. Trust me, he has trouble with splash damage.” Huh? That almost sounds like a reference to –

Rowe's eyes dart over to meet your own, her hazel irises alight with playfulness.

Yep. Definitely a reference to last night.

“If there are traps in there, which there probably are, they're designed to kill the living. I'm dead. Plus, I can move on ahead and inform you of whatever's coming up,” Paul insists. Rowe gives him a sympathetic look. Dolah sighs. “I'm grasping for silver linings here,” he admits. “Give me a chance to say this isn't just some fucked up curse.”

Whisper turns a glaring eye at Kuvasz. “And Mandalorian, thank you for not murdering me in my sleep like the rest of your kind.”

“Hmph.” Kuvasz folds his arms, glaring back at Whisper. “You don’t need to worry about that. The runt of the litter is not worth any Mandalorian’s time. Not even mine.” Whisper looks down, slowly stepping towards Misri.

“Right, you two.” You step between Whisper and Kuvasz. “Let’s just let bygones be bygones alright. Nobody did anything to each other so… just try not to wreck my ship okay?” Kuvasz nods, respecting you. Whisper grunts, nodding as well. “Goodness, sometimes I feel like a maid or something.”

Misri smirks, putting her tools away. “I wouldn’t mind you being a maid, Rhys.” You roll your eyes.

“Captain Cykgil, since you are here however.” Whisper walks up to you. “I would very much like to spar with you.” Everyone looks at her, confused. “As the Echani tradition mandates, if I am to join your crew, I wish to see if you are indeed a worthy fighter that I can follow into battle.” She thumps her chest with a loud metallic clang echoing through the machine shop. “An unarmed bout, like the honorable ones of old.”

Well…

>do people really enjoy playing with garbage cards so much?
Unless they are the kind of garbage you can build around/make a deck theme of (OP pic related); NO.

It's one thing to have jokingly bad cards like pic related, but another to have underwelmingly bad cards that have nothing special about them. I think it's just Wizards' excuse to fluff out sets with plenty of cards so that their sets don't feel empty.

>>45515406
Basically this. There are degrees of "Bad card". They are.

Boring, overpriced shit: Exists to test skill in limited: GOOD limited players don't draft/run this dreck. Scarred Puma is this, only remembered at all because dank meme. A lot of famously bad crap like Laces and Great Wall are here too. Nobody likes these unless they have art or flavor text that makes them collector kitch.

GILBIC: Workhorses that you'd never use if you had unlimited card selection. Uninteresting or somewhat underpowered, but they do something and perform a purpose. Storm Crow goes here (at the bottom end) -- it's evasive, even if it's bad. Most decently designed cards are this, unable to cut it against the best of the best, but for rares to shine commons and uncommons can't have that much luster. Cube can be fun, but increasing all these guys to constructed playable would a) make it so much easier for the limited formats to get borked if something was a mistake and b) power creep the game faster than now.

Terrible, but weird: These cards have or cause a unique effect, but the effect is usually detrimental, impossible to work or otherwise insanely "why would you ever do that?" People like the puzzle these present. In addition to Razor Boomerang Machine Gun:
Wood Elemental: ALMOST a type 1, but if you can somehow capitalize on obliterating all your lands you could rube goldberg your way to casual victory, which makes people WANT to do it. Llanowar Druid, Forgotten Harvest, and then Restore Balance fires...
Chimney Imp: Can create a hard lock where your opponent never sees a new card with recursion
Sorrow's Path: With Stuffy Doll and en-Kor creatures becomes "2 to me, 2*my creatures to that sap". Fun to multiplayer.
One With Nothing: Setup for the Barren Glory win.

And so on. The Rube Goldberg machines are objectively still bad, but taking something worthless and turning it into a WTF moment of value when it works can be an amusing exercise.

>>45514807
If wizards didn't print shitty cards at every rarity level they'd actually be meeting the demand for cards that don't suck ass. Instead they have people buy more product.

For you see, /tg/, I have not told you about the worst of the lot. I kid you not when this guy probably weighs around 500 pounds. He is the fattest guy I have ever met in my fucking life. When the guy drops something he looks around the table waiting for someone to get it because he's so fucking fat. We'll call him Hamlord and he is the topic of this post.

I should have gotten a red flag when I first met Hamlord. He had this grating laugh that sounded like a mix of a hissing cat and nails against a chalkboard. He also would pride himself on being "a dick" and "a troll".

Hamlord is a power gamer of the worst ilk. Whenever he's playing a PC and tries to pull something off that shouldn't be allowed, he'll waste an hour of the groups time looking through the texts to debate this and complain if he is denied. When he DM'd however his primary goal was to wipe the party. Not to tell a story, not for us all to have fun. He wanted to kill peoples PCs because it gave him satisfaction. He had a set of dice that he used to DM that he called, "His precious" and before rolling he would whisper to them, "kill them. kill them. kill them. kill them."

He also ignores you if you bother him while he's eating. One night as I'm arriving he's sitting down having a conversation about Star Trek or some shit. I walk up and ask him if the seat next to him is taken. Hamlord looks back for a moment while stuffing his face full of Taco Bell and then turns back around. The seat wasn't taken by the way.

Of course this is all leading up to worst of it all.. When we started a campaign.
When we began our campaign, we used a Pathfinder AP and Hamlord was DM'ing. I began to devise a character only to find out how hamfisted and railroady he was. He did everything in his power to screw the party over, including finding ways for us to turn on each other. He wiped the group once and began sniggering like an autist.

Of course we all lost interest in that campaign, including him because he hates full-time GM'ing and instead another group member plans to DM in a few months. He tells me it's an all evil campaign and I start thinking up a rogue character to join the party who is a master of disguise and tell him about that immediately.

Several months go by and Hamlord learns of this campaign. A week before he comes out with his build... A rogue that is skilled in disguise. Of course he's not willing to change it, he only plays his way and expects other people to play around him, plus there was little to no care in it. And because I have had this character concept in my head for far too long I outright refuse to change mine.

So we end up with 2 rogues in the party. I of course try to make the best of this. I try working with him to pull off certain sneaky deeds, then I found out the new DM (One of the people I mentioned earlier in the thread), can't DM anything that's not murderhobo'ing.
