>Origins
Hyper evolution on a ship lost in the warp for X-thousand generations? Ship finally comes out of warp and thr fuckers scatter across the stars, glad to finally be away from each other.

>Warpstone
Bits of space hulks that have been adrift in the warp for so long they get infused with the very nature of chaos. These guys lived in it for so long that they go through withdrawls when denied it for lengths of time.

>Space Assets
Maybe a few hulks, but like rats you can be sure they're hidden in the depths of everyone elses navies. They tend to come out during warp travel and force Geller Field failures.

>Cults/Genestealers
Chaos worship is an acceptable mainstay, neither shunned nor endorsed - just a facet of life. Genestealers are near universal TPK. With their huge populations and fast breeding cycles, it doesn't take long for it to go through the cycles. A lot of genestealer infected hulks started as Ratmen warrens.

>Leadership
Council based, a ratking made up of representatives of major families - the biggest or sneakiest who've managed to work their way up there.

What kind of barbarian country allows people to conceal-carry their dice?
What's next, a random kid can take his dice and go commit a mass-nat20 at his school?

my mother buys me nice containers for things to show support of my hobbies and habits.

she bought me the nice leather bag with a drawstring for my dice. I keep the attractive dice in that.

I keep the ugly dice for lending to players who forget their own in a big plastic salad bowl.

>>54175162
think of it this way.
if you respect the dice by keeping them in an attractive case, they(for the most part) respect you back by rolling well.

I also find them very competitively priced, and generally superior to third party models in every way. A great way to have fun with friends of all ages!

How do you expect kids to buy and paint these without having a degree in Bachelors of Fine Arts?

>>54174745
Because the newer models were specifically designed to be that way. Most all newer models are designed with the ease of painting in mind.

U Delver has nothing but counterspell/spellstutter going for it. Stompy/Affinity are better aggro decks, Kuldotha deck are better value decks and Dimir is better at control.

UR Delver with Skred is fun but loses to itself quite often because of ash barrens/evolving wilds manabase.

Mono U delver is the only deck I play after having tried a lot of pauper decks. It is much more fun than any deck in the format because it has more play than any other deck in the format. Affinity is boringly easy to play and the gameplan is always the same - same with Stompy, Elves, and the control variants (the control decks are easy because they are almost purely reactive all the time, especially many of the Teachings builds).

Tron is a great deck too, not as fun to play but a lot more deckbuilding choices than Delver. The U delver maindeck doesn't change a lot, and while there is a little bit of room in the sideboard it's just not as fun a deck to tweak as Tron.

Gameplay wise, Delver has the most going for it. Gush is really hard to play correctly but really powerful. The deck is both aggro and control, and a lot of the time you have to navigate between roles. You're not really a dog to a lot of decks, but you're never going to really really stomp on anyone. The midgame is really fun because of the low cost of your cards combined with gush, daze, and cantrips.

>>54174413

If you like an aggro/tempo deck that has quite a bit of interaction and card draw, sure. Thing is, if you don't put your opponent on the defensive on the first couple turns things usually don't go well for you, and sometimes you just don't draw the cards you need and your board presence becomes increasingly less impressive after turn 3-4.

In some Arthur C. Clarke novel, I remember Mercury was habitable only around the longitude perpendicular to the sun, where the eternal dusk provides a reasonable temperature between the scorching day and frozen night (Mercury is tidally locked, so one side is always facing the sun).

boiling metal swamp

>>54173861
People would be living underground near areas that are not facing the sun. If there are large cities then they're have much of the population working on maintaining the city. But before any of that you'll have to get rid of the thick green house gases that are covering the planet out because the pressure from the gases are so strong and hot it would kill you and burn you alive at the same time before you would even see the any ground

There are no wolves on Fenris.

Leverage

Read Blades in the Dark, steal things from there. Or just run it

>>54172520
If you're ok with a cyberpunk setting some of the most memorable Shadowrun games I've ever had were heists.

>>54171989
Have mature players

>>54172178
This.

Or, if the players are up for it, go the opposite direction. Have them be cartoony super villains for fun.

In a more serious evil campaign, have a session zero to really flesh out these evil characters and give them all a reason for wanting to work together, and screen everyone to make sure they're not being cringey.

You serve something evil. The Tyrant, an evil god, or you're all monster races. You spread evil and misery wherever you go, but you are in total control of yourselves. The system of power that has made you what you are is evil, but you can move within the confines of your system. You can ensure a innocent young girl you capture is not put into sexual slavery, but instead given another role such as a preistess or let to live a relatively normal life in a conquered land. You can decide to smash and destroy the idols of your enemies, or treat them with respect while dismantling them, burying them in silent tribute to those Gods. They will hate you for destroying their religious alters, but if Gods know anything it would be respect.

I'm at UTC+2 and will be available between after 18:00 on weekdays.

And remember: no question is stupid.

Just saw this because of the shilling on /biz/
I'm a professional NL midstake player since 6 years playing 2/4-10/20 (with my shots at 25/50).

Feel free to ask questions and ask a about handhistories. But only 6max NL, maybe HU but I am a bit rusty there.
Have no clue about PLO and other games though

>>54171798
I never played any PLO myself either. Only some "Omaha 8 or Better High Low Split" which is such a ridiculous name, I tend to just call it "O8". Interesting game imo.

Didn't play for a while so now I'm just playing some 1/2 6max NL to get back in the game.

As someone who has been out the game for a few years, are there some big strategic shifts you have seen in that period? To me it seems like it's still nit galore.

I started a new Godbound campaign last week, and so far it has been a blast.

The PCs took Beast/Bow/Sword, Passion/Command/Fire and Luck/Time/Deception.

I'll bump this out of curiosity, is this some discussion of the SCP universe? how to adapt it into a system? or use it in a game?
