Gonna be painting the Kaeris box, the Crossroads 7 box, and Oxfordian Mages next week, can't wait to use both of them.

Got an Enforcer Brawl next Monday, any advice on gremlin enforcers?

Played Somer against Lunch tonight and ended with a draw, but Lenny's WP really caused some headaches so he is out of the running. I've got Rafael and Meris, might pick up Jeb or Gracie

recently picked up some guild pistoliers without knowing a thing about this game until I looked it up. So do I have to buy the ortega boxed set to add to my pistoliers to be able to play a game?

"I hope there's still enough left for your mother and Allison..." Irene says, looking back into the kitchen where my father's decided to descend upon the remaining leftovers.
"They know how things go around here," I reply. "If they want anything then they'll come down here before he eats it all."
"That's kind of harsh," Irene laughs nervously. "Is it always like this?"
"Used to be before they moved," I shrug.

Considering how much my father eats, it's a wonder he doesn't weigh twice what he does now.

"I guess this means I'll be going out somewhere for lunch," Irene sighs. "Umm, do you think that maybe Theresa'll want to go if I asked?"
"Actually, uh..."

Yeah, we kind of have plans for this afternoon.

>where to buy
Tcgplayer.com is a pretty good source to buy from. Sometimes you can get a good deal on pricier cards on eBay, but everyone else is too.

>what to buy
Stay away from buying boosters/other sealed product. Buy singles after you know what decks you want to play.

>>43569394
>Stay away from buying boosters/other sealed product. Buy singles after you know what decks you want to play.

While that is solid advice, part of the problem is that I don't know what I want. Aside from a few games here and there using decks that weren't mine, I am very far removed from the game. Even when I was playing I was using either whatever I pulled from boosters or could trade for, never really had the option or money to buy the cards I needed.

I don't know, I guess I'm also wondering if there's some sort of list I can specifically buy from or a packaged deal that give me a good section of cards that I can really get a feel from so I can learn what I want?

>>43569827
I'd recommend checking in on your LGS and getting an idea of what they play there.

Maybe ask to borrow a deck and play some rounds to find a deck you want to play. Freshen up on the game a bit ahead of time so it doesn't become a chore for them to help you though.

Also, if you have a few friends who might be interested in starting with you I'd really recommend that.

Drafts are something you can do without owning any cards, and also allows you to gain card capital to start trading or building your own decks, good for before you know what you want to build.

Best advice is simply to go ask people at your local area, they will be able to give you a far more accurate idea on what formats to focus on.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Cyclic destruction of the universe from fundamental metaphysical (or plain physical) forces, which in turn causes the creation of other new universes.

You have to make combustion chemically impossible, which means steam, wind, and solar are the means of power for technology.

Fuck me dead. Every time I wrote 'with guns' I fucking meant the goddamn opposite

WHAT WOULD THE WORLD LOOK LIKE **WITHOUT** GUNS

Never invent bells. You'll still have rockets and such, but you'll never get guns or canons.

You look down at the furniture you've got sitting on the floor. The bed's already done, stonewoven blankets and sheets frozen solid. Meanwhile, the cabinet's almost deconstructed, well on its way to becoming a size and weight that lets it be easily carried by one dwarf. The storage space inside has collapsed into a singularity, ensuring that no one will accidentally put their belongings inside before it's to be moved.

You look back up at Doomgirl. Nope, not seeing it. Anyway, you're finished now. That invisible creature still here?

The marine twitches her head to one side, and then the other, looking like a particularly demented pigeon. After a moment, she shakes her head. "Yeah. It's gone from this room now. Fucking groovy. I'm not gonna ask why, so I'm hitting the hay now. Arrivederci, dwarf."

... wait, that's all she was in here for? If you hadn't swung by, was she really planning on just SITTING here the whole night, watching over this supposed monster!?

Doomgirl looks at you blankly. "Well, /duh/. Woulda started blowing shit up otherwise, and we're underwater. Got anymore bright questions?"

[ ] [LAST MEMORY] What's the last thing she remembers before getting warped into the hyperdimension? More to the point, what kinda stuff has she gotten involved in?

[ ] [OPINION] What's Doomgirl think about all this void-between-dimensions stuff and Arfoire? How about the Sharicite lode you've got in your fort?

Nice to you Boss

That's not really what counterspell is. That would just be a different thing

>>43568079
What about counterspelling a healing spell?

>>43568110
Counterspell just cancels out shit. The Nasuverse wouldn't really work if you tried to actually nail down rules since it breaks them every other paragraph, so it's hard to tie shit to some DnD mechanic. That whole thing was more like using Me First in pokemon

Pathfinder is shit.

Bob Ross is a Minor Deity with the Creation, Compassion, Plant, and Animal Domains. His favored weapon is Diplomacy. Clerics of his domain spread the "happy truth" wherever they go, and will never fail to stop and appreciate all they see on their travels. They are not major miracle workers, but instead devote themselves to small wonders; helping restore a farmer's fields, putting up a small cabin in a wood that nobody knows about, at the end of a trail that only the deer walk. Finding the lost parents of a little baby squirrel.

Domain power: "There are no mistakes, just happy accidents."
2+CHA mod/day, touch, harmless, 40' radius, DC 55 WIL save negates. For 24 hours, the blessing negates the next critical failure roll the blessed individual makes. Instead, that roll in some way that benefits the individual and those around him. The GM will decide what the effects actually are, but in no way can said effect negatively affect anyone under the influence of this domain power. Common affects include minor orison blessings on all affected, Cure Light Wounds on all affected, etc. The effects do not need to make sense in the context of the situation; a warrior swinging with a greatsword while under the influence of this power and critically missing might, instead of dropping his greatsword or hurting himself or an ally, somehow bury it into the ground, creating a small healing spring that casts a Cure Light Wounds on all in the affected area. Regardless of the other beneficial effects, whenever this power triggers, a small evergreen sapling miraculously sprouts at that location.

First for Morke and Holden are liars desu

We buggered the hell away from Great Forks when we found a 3CD was being summoned there, and half the circle had aggravated damage up to their -4s due to the ST rolling 6 sux off 4 dice for an environmental hazard.

>buggered the hell away

Yeah that sounds like an average day in Great Forks.

Can we make all humans tall, blond haired, with blue eyes?

I humbly request the ability to fart pine scent

>>43567495
Sir, are we doing this for making better humans, or is this going to be a profit making exercise?

And if it's for profit, are we intent on maximising long term profits or short term profits?

Bump again, I suppose.

Repost from last thread since I think it's an interesting point:

>>43566593

>I've also seen more than once that a bunch of grogs argued that FUMBBL has way too much comfort features built in and that it should become more complicated and archaic.

I've never really seen anyone like that, but one thing I will say about FUMBBL, and videogame BB in general, is that you get lazy compared to playing tabletop.

For example, showing the dicerolls required to dodge/pass etc. actually makes some people not understand the rules as well as someone playing tabletop. I remember one of the old versions of the client just showed red squares for dodges, no 4+ or whatever marked on them.

Not saying BB should be unforgiving to new people, but they should get a gentle nudge to actually read the rules first. Of course Cyanide don't want to put off the EA SPORTS: MADDEN BUT ORCS LMAO types who will spend money on the game, so they give them a couple of tutorials and keep it light, which doesn't help the quality of the player base.

>>43567271
As long as there is a player base, so many other niche games lose theirs. New blood is always welcome as far as I'm concerned.

Reposting from last thread, see if anyone missed it.

Got an interesting spread already, I suspect that we here are fairly in the minority when it comes to teams we've played. Only 1 Chaos so far, no Lizardmen, plenty of Bretonnians (trying them out because they're new?).

Well I can't offhand recall another game where a character is intended to be played for a single evening, one adventure only. But I can see how it can be used to blast through an entire dramatic arc in one go and likely have bretty good time while at it. They tell next to nothing about the system however, so I'm not quite willing to put any money in.

They should have used someone on the kikestart vid who actually know how to narrate. AND has a voice suited to it. Yeah yeah, good VAs cost money.
