"LotV is control card" edition.
Just a single question.
What is the ban update before the Oath PT going to be like? Bans? Unbans?
This is mono red control
Cards aren't "control" cards or "aggro" cards, they can play different roles in different decks.

8ED is gone. 9ED might follow.
“You saw one chance at victory,” Kenpachi grumbles angrily, his blade now jammed deep into Ichigo's chest, “so you let your guard down? An' here I thought you mighta been the one that wasted Aizen... well, if you were I guess that just means he was too weak to hack it anyway.”
Ichigo, his eyes wide in disbelief, watches as his zanpakuto snaps before him. Kenpachi's sword had passed through it almost as if it weren't there, piercing through it with ease before doing the same to him. The jagged edge pulls free. Blood falls slowly through the air as the world grows dim.
“Can't believe I wasted my time on this runt,” Kenpachi sighs as he turns to walk away from the scene, though his enemy can't even hear him anymore. As everything seems to crawl to a halt, a third figure approaches Ichigo.
His clothing seems insubstantial, like shadows lapping around his slender frame, and his face is framed by a thin beard. It seems he looks down at Ichigo in a mixture of sadness and disgust.
“What are you doing, Ichigo?” he demands. “You shouldn't be losing like this when you haven't even called on me properly yet.”
In a moment, Ichigo is standing once more. Zaraki turns in place to face him, surprise evident in his features as the bloodflow seems to stop.
“Coulda sworn your heart just stopped,” Zaraki grins, “but I ain't gonna complain!”
With a massive burst of speed, Ichigo draws a clean slash across Zaraki's chest with his deeply-curved blade, and the giant Captain's grin widens in excitement.
“Sorry, Zaraki,” Ichigo apologizes, “but I can't waste any more time here. I've got somewhere I need to be.”
>1/3
>>43890663
“I don't care about that shit!” Zaraki roars happily, slashing back at Ichigo with a wild swipe that earns him a second gash on his ribs. “How'd you come back from the brink of death? Where'd you get this strength? None of that matters!”
As Zaraki continues to swing his nameless zanpakuto furiously at his smaller, faster opponent, the two trade minor injuries. Neither shows any sign of falling. “Keep gettin' stronger! Keep risin' again and again so I can keep cuttin' you 'till one of us dies!”
After taking another serious blow, Zaraki stops to laugh like a man possessed.
“The hell's wrong with you?” Ichigo demands. “Even with Zangetsu's help, you just won't go down!”
“Zangetsu, huh?” Zaraki laughs, sidestepping a burst of reiatsu in the vague shape of an arrow as Ichigo tries to keep him off-balance. “That's a good name! Can't tell you anythin' about mine yet, but in exchange for the introduction I'll show you somethin' special!”
Zaraki's left hand, which until now has seen little use in the fight, finds its way to the hilt of his sword as he adopts a high ready stance.
“I've been savin' this to impress a special lady,” Zaraki admits with a wicked grin, “so you better not tell anyone you saw me usin' it... if you survive, that is!”
“You really think a two-handed stance will make that much of a difference?” Ichigo wonders aloud, sizing the Captain up. “It's not live you've doubled your reiatsu or anything.”
Zaraki laughs again, his reiatsu soaring in strength yet again as he finds a rare moment of focus. “To be honest, I'm the worst of the Captains when it comes to kenjutsu. But if you're this naive, Ichigo, guess I'll have to be the one to show you how big a difference it can make.”
>2/3
>>43890706
“And that's how it was,” Yoruichi finishes, poking a stick at the little fire in the hearth of the shelter cut back into the base of the Sōkyoku hill. “Zaraki just walked away after that. Either his wounds were too severe to bother finishing Ichigo off, or he just couldn't bring himself to do it. I don't know for sure.”
“There's a worse scenario,” you mutter, staring down at Ichigo as he rests. “Could be he had too much fun to kill the kid.”
“Oh, Ichigo,” Yoruichi grimaces at the notion. “Poor, dumb Ichigo. You're in such trouble and you don't even know."
The light filtering in from outside has grown dim over the last few hours, and though it's been nice to just sit with your wife for a while like this the world hasn't stopped moving just for you. Tatsuki, Ishida, Yasutora, and Ganju are all in your Division's custody by now, and Kai is resting from the protracted duel against Ishida in which his zanpakuto was damaged by a Seele Schnieder. You've also received word that Renji has managed to escape from the Sixth Division's barracks. Byakuya must be furiously searching for him by this point.
“It only seems quiet,” Rosa observes in your mind. “You're lingering too long.”
“Quiet, Rosa,” Tenkotsuki hisses. “You may have forgotten, but those of us who still have bodies need to rest every once in a while or they start to lose strength.”
>Rosa has a point, you should return to your Division.
>You should probably search for Renji. That could spell trouble later.
>Just stay here until nightfall.
>Other?
>>43890706
>“I've been savin' this to impress a special lady,” Zaraki admits with a wicked grin, “so you better not tell anyone you saw me usin' it... if you survive, that is!”
hehehe Zaraki's got a murder-crush on Riku.

Chaos Terminators: I know they're pricey, but I'm mainly taking them for casual/not too competitive games as suicide DS units. One group is 3 of them with combi meltas and 2 power axes, 1 chain fist, for tkaing out armor.
How should I outfit a second group? Again, they are a DS suicide unit for taking out a particular threat. Should I grab another axe/combi melta unit, or something else (for infantry, other stuff)?
>>43890567
If you want Anti-Infantry, go Combi-Flamer and Power Mauls, or dual Lightning Claws. I've had good results with that.
One of the advantages we have over Loyalists is that we can mix and match our Termies in the same squad. It's not that effective at small squad levels, but at large squad levels a mix of LC's and Combi-Flamers w/ Heavy Flamer can be really fucking mean.

1st for BEST TRO
R8 my hover Scorpion
Become The Vampire Quest 9
You look at Angie for a moment and consider your options. When she's passed out like this it means she's working, but you don't really know what that means. Maybe someone died, or had a near-death experience or something. For all you know it could be Mark after getting his ass handed to him by campus security. You approach slowly, hopping your way to her side and crouching carefully.
“Angie? Angela, can you hear me?”
Angie grumbles quietly and lifts her head to look at you. Her makeup is smudged a but and she grabs a handkerchief from her pocket to dab at the corner of her mouth.
“Good morning...”
She smiles and yawns a bit, rolling onto her back and staring up at the ceiling, eyes sliding closed once more. You give her a little shake and she sits up in a sudden, jolting motion before giving you an empty stare like Frankenstein's monster. You've never actually seen the movie, but you presume a creature made from body parts, mad science and lightning would be pretty out of sorts upon being brought to life.
“I'm awake, I promise this time.”
She nods her head before the motion quickly slows, and she collapses to the floor with a content smile on her face.
“Angie, if you don't get up I'm replacing your coffee with chamomile tea. I really need your he-”
You don't see her move, and you barely have time to react. You can feel a blade against your neck, and the creeping terror you felt as a child as you were followed by your imagined monster rushes back to you all at once. Death is upon you. Angie whispers softly into your ear, her cool breath chilling your skin and making you shiver.
“You would threaten an angel of death? Empty or not, that's pretty gutsy. I... Wait, Oliver?”
The blade pulls away and Angie steps around you on her way to the coffee machine.
“Alright, time to perk up, this is probably important... What seems to be the matter?”
You use one of the beds to help you stand, hopping around to the side and sitting down.
“I sprained my ankle while goofing off in gym class.”
You watch as Angie goes through two cups off coffee in a row, pouring herself a third and walking over to you.
“Well, let me have a look then.”
You nod and raise your leg a bit, taking off your shoe and sock. Your ankle is swollen and red, and Angie nods as she examines it. She reaches out and touches your ankle, her hand turning pale, and her touch is as cold as ice.
“Try not to scream.”
She winks at you.
“The icy hand of death is upon you.”
You almost manage to ask her why she warned you not to scream before her fingers pass into your flesh. You grit your teeth at the strange and painful sensation, and Angie cups your cheek with her free hand.
“Relax. I'll be done in a second. I'm just shifting things around a little bit to relieve the swelling.”
You nod a bit and try to put on a brave face. It feels like your foot is about to shrivel up and fall off, but after close to five minutes of Angie's tinkering she withdraws her fingers, and your ankle actually feels pretty good. You flex it tentatively, and there's no pain. Angie smiles a bit.
“I'm very good at my jobs. If you can keep from exerting yourself too much for the rest of the day you'll be just fine. Bit of advice, tell people you got some pain killers and an anti-inflammatory from me.”
You nod and stand up slowly. Your ankle feels a little strange once you put some weight on it, but at least you can walk.
The Rules:
Same system as Become The Dragon Quest. If you don't know what that is, it's best of three d20 rolls. I name a stat that sums up what you're trying to do, and if I don't name a relevant skill, you try to fill in the blank based on what you're trying to accomplish. “Break open the door” might be Strength based, but if you've been playing baseball after school and there's a lead pipe nearby, you could apply your Baseball skill to the roll. A 20 on the die is a crit threat, and if either of the other two rolls is 20 or higher after mods, it's a critical. A crit fail is when you have two or more 1s. So far this system has worked out well enough. We'll get into combat rules as needed, but in basic terms you have wounds, not HP, and the worse the wounds, the more penalties you accrue while doing other things.
Most Important Rule:
Have fun.

Hello everyone! This is the continuation of my drawthread, >>43871046. We'll be starting off at the 27th request, and hopefully get to 70 waifu request delivered!
Feel free to request more in case I get crazier and want to go for 100!
Once again, the rules:
1. Only one character. Just one!
2. No characters from quests. This is to stop the usual glut of characters being asked for more and more art, let's give other people a chance!
3. I'll do requests chronologically, and will try to do everyone else's (my target is 50 for tonight). If I skip yours for some reason, I apologize in advance, please don't take it personally!
4.) When a waifu is already drawn, all succeeding requests of the same waifu will be ignored.
With that, let's have fun, everyone!

Hello decu!
Dr. Robotnik struggling to put on Homura's uniform, please!
The Minus Gallery is dead, the WWWiki is kind of outdated as hell, and the schedule is almost meaningless.
We should use our time waiting for Mage 2e or the 2e Core to come up with some good advice and resources for new players to stick into a Pastebin or something like that.
To start with, does anyone have an alternate image host besides Minus? Anyone ever made a Pinterest page? I would make an Imgur gallery, but if I remember right you're limited in how many images you can do without a paid account.
Previous Thread: >>43849722
With a normal account, there's a limit to how many images you can see and access from your account, but no limit to uploads as such. I'm not sure if there's a limit to images placed in galleries, but I don't think so, or it's really high.
>>43887675
Talking about imgur, to be clear. Derp.
Having checked, I have an album with 225 pictures on there, so if there's a limit it's in the hundreds.
>>43887683
>>43887675
Huh. I remember a while back I'd gotten hit two or three times with a message saying that I needed to delete images, or my older images wouldn't actually show up in my gallery. Since then I've mostly logged out if I wanted to upload.
I guess I'll make an Imgur account for WoD images.
For now, here's an upload of all the thread starters I've made, (some serious, some silly) and the four Changeling/Promethean/Hunter/Demon/Geist posters I made a while back.

How would you incorporate a tribe or nation of warrior women into your setting without it being magical realmy?
>>43884710
If you're struggling to incorporate a warrior women culture in your setting without it being "magical realmy" just go fucking kill yourself.
>>43884710
Don't... Magical realm it?
Are you having difficulty not sexualizing it, or do you not know what the term magical realm implies?
I mean, you could try not giving them dicks, that might help but I'm no expert.

Hm, it's been a while since I've read the homebrew book. As in, last I read it Braindead semen-slave catboys were in.
Let's see:
Races
>Races aren't all fucking retarded anymore
>Goliath is size 6 and has a power as well. Great. (That was sarcasm)
>Overall too many monsterous races. At best, people need to put the monstergirl porn down. At worst, people need to put the furry porn down. I won't say anymore about it. Options are good after all, but too many seem contradictory in design with each other, like how Arachne's and Lamia's lower halves work. (Hint: one changes how hit locations work for them, the other doesn't)
At least there isn't three lizard-people races in this book anymore. And at least the number of races with size 5 is no longer every race.
Exaltations
>Overdesigned. If you need to drop to... however small the text on the powers are for most of them, they're overly complicated. The only two new exaltions that aren't obnoxiously over-designed are the Kryptonian and the Perpetual
Guardian gets my seal of "Fuck off, your concept is flawed if that's the text size needed to fit it into 2 pages"
Hell, there's a general trend of over-emphasizing Exaltations in character creation. They're being designed like DnD or Pathfinder classes: the whole sum or the majority of the the character's mechanical chassis. What they should be designed like is ultra-simplified nWoD splats: They shape his day to day life, they represent what he is, but not who he is or what he does. It's kind of embarrassing to read some of them.
There's also (only slightly) a constant attempt to balance the new exaltations around the Atlantean and Daemonhost levels. They're the most powerful Exaltations and building to be balanced with them is bad to the game. It leads to power-creep and a design arms race.
Don't design for the top. Design for the middle. OR just under the top if you absolutely must be super-awesome.
I'll be covering them individually because jesus christ.

Currently, you were standing on a stage with a greatsword in your hands. In front of you was the sniveling former Lord Kalendor, on his knees and his head forced down to expose the back of his neck. The man had betrayed his oaths and his king, which in Breton was an offense punishable be death.
And you were expected to carry out the sentence.
Meanwhile, you were at the center of the spotlight. Soldiers from both Tilean and Breton were watching you keenly. The Bretons eagerly awaiting you to dispense justice while the Tileans looked on in shock or ambivalence.
You tighten your grip on the handle in an effort to counter the shaking. The weapon is cold and heavy in your hands.
