Running a games day in the city, had a dozen or so people rock up for board games. One guy was at the venue all day, just sitting in the corner and waiting.

When I asked what he was doing, he said he'd invited some friends out to play games and was just waiting for them to rock up. I invited him to join our group, but he said his friends would be there soon.

That day went from 11am to 8pm, and this guy was alone and waiting in the corner for the whole duration of it.

>>49644088
Damn dude...

>>49641944
That's awesome of you

On another note think about it; just because he can't afford the kits and shit, dude has to work seven times harder to actually prove himself when someone (like you) actually goes against him

>>49644088
I hope he finds better friends. Find him online if you can, and if there's another one of those days, invite the guy and be better than those assholes

Jesus Christ, I get that you're upset you paid $25 for your kid and he's not gonna win anything, but what did you expect? At least he was having fun. It's not like Magic is some sport that you can expect to get big in and make a lot of money, it's just for fun.

That was about two years ago now, I think. The worst part was I didn't even realise how little I knew about him outside of the game. He was a great guy and fun to chat too, but I never even got his full name, never linked on facebook. He was just the guy who ran the games.

I asked around and no-one else who was in the campaign actually knew much, or anything, about the guy.

If you're on here James, sorry about what happened. Scott and the guys would love to catch up.

BUmp for more sads.

I'm noy much into board games but I wanted to try some, so one day I went to a board game night at a local FLGS. Place was packed and people were talking to each at tje start to see what games were being run. I saw some nice ones and played a fantasy land conquest something or other that was pretty generic.

During the game I saw this scruffy, fat teenager shuffling from table to table, talking to everyone, moving on. He never played for 2 hours, just kept talking to people.

Finally he gets to me. Apparently he had designed a superhero gamr that he wanted to playtest.

Nobody was willing to play... for some reason.

Okay, so I bite. He takes a lunchbox or something out and enthusiastically starts explaining the game in a confusing, excruciatingly detailed way.

The "cards" are scraps of foolscap with terribly drawn and written original but generic superheroes. Drawn with felt tip markers like something out of middle school.

The game played terribly. I barely understood 20% of what he said. He picked the best characters for himself and was triumphant when he won. I told him the game needs more work. He pressed me for details but I fled to another game.

Nobody else played with him that whole night.

Back almost 20 years ago there was this FLGS in my town. These older guys would always show up every weekend without fail and play some giant tabletop wargame. I have no idea what it was and I never asked but it took up an entire massive table. In all the years I frequented that place, that table was wholly reserved for those old guys and the giant terrain they assembled. Decades pass and the store finally changes hands. The owner was a friend of these guys so he stays open 2 hours past what would have been his final closing time just to watch these guys finish their game. Game ends, old guys shake hands with the owner, some brohug him and he closes the store. It remains closed for another month for renovation by the new owner. When I show up for the first FNM after its reopening I see the old guy's table cleared off. When I asked the new owner where all the terrain went he told me that anything that the previous owner had left in the shop was stored in the back room until someone decided to claim it. Time passed and I found out from a few of the other regulars that the old guys abandoned the pace when the old owner left and wouldn't be coming back for their board. The new owner eventually threw it out after a few months to make storage room. I know it wasn't mine but I felt guilty as fuck just letting decades of memories just be broken up and discarded like that. I never did see those old guys again, either. I hope they continued the game in someone's basement somewhere.

On /tg/, it must be years and years ago now (2009? 2010?), we were having a thread about different Warhammer groups in different countries. I think it was initially about 40k in Japan.

But it turned into a lot of Middle Eastern Anons talking about their local Warhammer hobby and espiecally a Warhammer tourney held in Cairo. There was a lot of interest about whether clerics over there opposed 40k like American fundies, but it seemed that none of them did (probably because they'd never heard of it).

But what I really remember is the one Anon from Syria who was talking about the small but growing Warhammer hobby in his country.He seemed relaxed about his country as it was prosperous and safe (especially the area he lived in, as his parents were middle class bureaucrats for the government). If the Arab Spring was happening, he didn't seem to think it would effect his life at all.

I still wonder what happened to Syria Anon. It also makes me sad to see /pol/ shitposting about rapefugees when I think of Syria Anon, whose standard of English was better than most of theirs.

>>49644360

Why?

>>49655012
He's probably from Sweden.

>>49655053
No that's not the reason

The answer is, don't go to /pol/

>>49655080
Then which is it bucko?

>>49655080
Hear hear

>>49655012
Because Syria Anon made an interesting thread and now years later we've got newfags from Stormfront unironically posting Resistance comic pics and kekking about Swedish cucks and "le sinister refugee". When really, at the end of the day, at least one of those people used to post OC on /tg/ and gave better content then they ever have.

But now Syria Anon is probably dead, and maybe some of the Cairo Anons were killed in the unrest in Egypt.

>>49655173
So you'd be happier if people just ignored rapes from syrian refugees because you once had a connection with a guy from syria?

>>49641944
Once played a game of Necromunda (Using famey-Zealot-dudes)in a GW store. The guy pulled out a squad of armless Space-Crusade Chaos Marines and told me they were an Arbites gang.

>>49641944

Had a guy down at our local with his kid. All of a sudden, in the middle of all the chit chat thats going on when your running a full 40k tournament, the guys phone rings.
One look and a "Its my woman, don't let her know I'm down here!!!", and the shop turns as quiet as the grave! 3 minutes passes as he reassures her he is indeed at the grocery store getting the "must haves", he hangs up, and the room returns to status quo.
The guy had a dream of having both a family and a hobby, who are we to rob him from this?

>>49655978

Shit like this is why I am 27 and never had a relationship. That's how it fucking starts, "oh ok it's fine to date this grill, surely nothing will happen so long as I wrap it up"

Then it's "oh its ok to have an LTR with this grill. we do love each other after all", then "oh its ok if she moves in" then she wants to get married and you are basically forced to propose cause youve spent too long with her and it will hurt too much to lose her.

Saw it happen to each of my friends and each of them left the hobby. Fucking pathetic niggers. I defriended all of them and avoided all the baby showers. The women they married are fat cows now, too. I just don't understand.

The trick is marrying the fat cow straight up. She will be too selfconcious to ever object about your hobbies and if you get her interested in sporting with you you can get her to look decent

The only real downside is that I can't play in groups with girls because once they meet my wife they realize they can't compete and start resenting me in this fucked-up reverse body shaming situation.

>>49656406

Yeah well good for you but I have zero chance of accomplishing that.

I played a saga edition roleplaying game with my group of (former) regulars. We were playing out at the local flgs, when two homeless guys that are somewhat regulars at the store start watching us play. We were doing an old republic/mandalorian wars game and one of the homeless guys asks my freind when in the war our story took place, and what is going on with regards to things like jedi intervention and the bombing of serracco, and really cannon heavy questions. They sat down and it turns out that they spend all of their time wandering around my town between the foodbank/homeless shelter/library/flgs because when he isnt trying to survive, he likes to read. He reads scifi, and likes starwars a lot. He read the entire old republic comic series at the flgs which is also a comic shop, and at the library. We invited him to play with us, and he and his buddy made great characters and picked up the mechanics really easily. They stayed with the game for a while, and were never late to a session. They were super broski, but one day near the end of the story-arc they stopped coming. They missed the next session and we never really saw them again. I still havent seen either of them, even when i vollenteer at the food pantry... We kept their characters in the game but they became npcs. I still hope that nothing bad happened to those guys, they were real han/chewie duo.
They even looked like it. The one who read and liked starwars so much was kinda small and super thin, the other was tall and heavier set, also really shaggy looking.

That's a quality projector, friend.

Unfortunately we're closer now than ever before. She's pretty amazing. Did I mention she loves to cook and is better at cooking than my mom?

Point is, writing off all possible relationships because of "muh hypothetical bad end" isn't very productive.

I get what you're saying, though. If I wasn't me, I would think I was lying. I haven't even gotten to the part about how she earns about 50% more than me, so between that and the lack of kids we're gaming the system hard and increasing our savings while all our friends are struggling just to stay in the level of debt they're at.

>>49656693

It's not that you seem to lie, it's that you seem absurd. There isn't a lot in it to be glad of, and there's a lot to hate—but there's sex!

He's not serious, but he's not joking. He's making a point; >>49655829's story is sentimental to the point of incredulity.

>>49657057
It's a joke because it's easy to laugh at the person saying it.

Or at the fact that the person saying it thinks it's funny/dark instead of just being babbie-edgelord tier.

Or both.

>>49657106
But neither of those things make the original post a joke. That's just making fun of what someone else has said.

Like a certainly American political candidate. Nothing they say is actually a joke, but people make fun of it.

Humor is subjective. Are you seriously going to try and nail down the qualities of what constitutes a joke when there are literally hundreds of different forms of humor that can be endlessly mixed and matched to the point where it can completely fall flat to one person yet give another cardiac arrest?

Whether or not the original post is a joke depends on how you look at it, and that's not even getting into the intent of the edgelord, since we can't read the fuck's mind.

Fair point, the intent is what matters.

>>49657310
Making fun of what someone said doesn't make what they said a joke. It makes what you're saying, to ridicule them, a joke.

>>49657858
I am saying that the intent of the edgelord anon was to make fun of dead sister anon's excessive sentimentality. Contrasting the sentimental post with the (equally excessive) nonchalance it deserves, see?

How does this even work? Casualty removal means you would have to have every single base as an individual scrap of paper.

My first DM kind of fell for me and then after college she married some guy who knocked her up. She had a blackout during the delivery and was in a coma apparently. She still has blackouts, feels nothing for the kid because apparently having him almost killed her, feels nothing for her husband, in general she feels like she threw her life goals away. Doesn't really know why she got married. In general she sounds really disassociated from everything and I'm worried that she's gonna hurt herself. Doesn't rp anymore, barely even speaks to any of the old group.

>>49658240
>feel nothin for the kid because she almost died in labour

Yes, surely this is the child's fault.

Sounds like you dodged a fucking bullet.

>>49658278
Yeah, it's not good hearing her talk like that. I never pursued it because she was somewhat infamous for trying to ruin her roommates' lives with really stupid lies and in general just being unhinged in public.

I'm 23, last LTR I had was a 9 month relationship with a girl who didn't like TG's or RPG's.

Eventually I got her to play Magic, taught her how to play against me, buying duel decks, building balanced decks, teaching her the ins and outs. She likes it a lot and is starting to get pretty good.

Took her to a legacy tournament at the lgs and she placed 3rd, losing to me in the semi-finals.

From then on she started building her own decks and wrecking whenever she went.

She never really got into RPG's, but would hop into a game if I needed an extra member.

Some of my players tried to hit on her/ romance her via the game. It was honestly hilarious.

Its not super sad but it bummed me out.

There's a big gaming store near where I live that I haven't been to in a while. So I went there for an event, and met a whole bunch of regulars I used to game with. Almost everybody was there except one of the employees of the store who was a pretty cool guy you could talk about anything /tg/ related during the slow hours. When I asked where he was, it turned out he passed away. I didn't bother to ask how exactly he died. Maybe one day.

There's nothing wrong with that. There's just something weirdly satisfying about seeing a picture of someone and knowing they are gone now. Doesn't really apply to family but anyone else.

Hey brad, tomorrow I've got plenty of free time so I'll be looking forward to it! No hard feelings if you change your mind, I understand. I'm actually theorycrafting a jund landfuck deck with xira arien at the helm, and I have no fucking idea how to make it work. Maybe we can discuss that! Anywho. Hopefully I'll hear from you tomorrow!

Sweet fuck on toast, I was that anon who wanted to build a magical christmasland spicy jund goodstuff deck two days ago, and was recently bitching that prosh isn't my style for hellrider + five alarm fire shenanigans because I'd have to take apart too many decks. I'll see what I can do, have a good night Tanner. Like I said, thanks, it means a lot.

I remember that! Yeah, man I could talk about why prosh isn't my style all night, but you know. Hopefully we can shoot ideas off each other (I'm more of a blue/black guy, so I might be pretty void on ideas, I've got a few though) for some spicy Jund decks. And Yeah man, same! Night.

And hey, I understand if things come up tomorrow, shit happens and life bites you in the ass sometimes. Regardless, hit me up whenever. You and I seem to have a lot in common! I already see you as a friend.

You should try a desencitization course in cockatrice. It's like 4chan to a certain point in a manner that it's full of apparent assholes who'll abuse you verbally but after a while you realize it's mostly shitposting and people aren't being mean to you on purpose and out of malice. They're just as socially inep and rustled about losingt.

It helped me become less nervous when playing with unknowns IRL, I can now tell when someone is just being a sore loser or playing mad bantz and don't get upset about those kind of comments anymore. I'm even playing the top 8 brackets of a Legacy league on saturday when a year ago I stuttered to ask for a booster pack at the counter!

"Pay to win" isn't Maelstrom Wanderer. Pay to win is turn 2 wins.

The thing about turn_2_wins.dec (or anything which is supposed to be ridiculously good) is that if someone works out how to shut it down, the person using it tends to turn into an enormous pile of salt. The exact form of said salt varies, and for some people, said form can be "try to make everyone (or someone) else saltier".

>>49664006
The worst part of that post was that it just had to be a Narset faggot calling someone else a tryhard.

I've met Oloros, Animars, Wanderers, even Edrics and 1v1 Zurs in their pre-ban times who weren't assholes and enjoyed winning but would turn it down a notch for the sake of group fun.
Not Narset though, everyone who plays narset at top configuration is the exact same faggot with delusions of grandeur and a victim complex at the same time.

This is one of the more believable stories.

It's sadly a pretty common stereotype for fathers to push their children at something they themselves have failed at. The classic example being some kind of sport, but the psychology is the same to apply to a competitive game like MTG.

Grossly depressing of course. At least the kid pushed to play ball will be healthy , athletic, popular and might even do well and earn money out of it. The magic kid is going to be another miserable fat nerd failure like his father.

I loove the stories of "I taught my gf to play Magic" like it's an accomplishment, like you taught your dog how to fetch or roll over. What's *more* impressive is meeting a girl who plays Magic and *then* getting her to date you.

I was working in the hospital, taking blood fo oxygen level analysis (back when we had a freaking refrigerator sized machine to do so) and someone gave me a sample that was black. Literally, it was blood so dark it has a faint red tinge at the edge. I got a reading of zero. The phlebotomist told me this person had not only walked in because he was having trouble breathing, but had driven himself ten miles to the hospital.

For the less medically inclined, the average person passed out unconscious at 95% oxygen saturation in the blood. This man should have been DEAD.

He lived 8 more years after that.

So yeah, anything is indeed possible. I take this stuff with a grain of salt, but you never can tell what is really true or not.

What?

Is...

Is that even possible?

Are you saying he had a blood-oxygen content of 0%?
Or are you saying that the machine had an overflow error and he had blood which was completely saturated with oxygen?

I mean, even a sample of blood exposed to the air for half a second will have an oxygen concentration which is greater than 0% simply due to basic adsorption.

I'm pretty sure your machine threw a fit there.

My local GW had a story about a guy that did that. Not so much blood, though, and he smacked his head into the painting table in frustration at something, then got stuck.

>>49668096
Because there isn't any space anymore
The place used to be a small store that had the counter, some consoles, two rows of pcs, tables to play magic or whatever, and a small kinda-basement with a table that people would use to run games

Now the place is just a bigger counter with some pirated ps2 games on shelves and /tg/ related dice and cards and anime/comic parafernalia, while the pcs got moved into the basement so there's literally no space to support it, it doesn't even sell snacks or drinks anymore it's just a store with PCs

the causes can be

she could have something relatively common like postpartum depression, or something more complex, perhaps with a physical cause - if she's been suffering repeat blackouts since the birth and they began at the birth, i would suggest she's already had a diagnosis; she might like someone to talk, delicately, about it with, or just to vent to, confidentially

if it turns out she hasn't had a diagnosis and is just "blacking out" without explanation, you might like to talk with her and her husband about the need for a diagnosis, because that's fucking serious shit there

if they know what it is and they don't want to talk to you about it, don't take that personally - you're just expressing concern, and there's nothing wrong with that, but it can catch people by surprise or even rub them the wrong way no matter how delicately you broach the subject with them; it's not uncommon for people who have chronic conditions to be frustrated by them (and this is a leading cause of attacks on healthcare workers in the workplace) and to simply feel that it's futile to discuss them any further

being a friend - even a friend who asks once if they need some help and never brings it up again if they say no - is helpful, sometimes all you can do is be around someone, even if they're beautiful garbage burning up on re-entry to a world you'll never do more than orbit

also: cancer patients. don't ask them how they are, just joke with 'em and be normal and maybe ask if they've got any chores they want doing, but not in a dick way like they can't do it themselves

My flgs went out of business recently. It was such a nice place too, I played 40k there occasionally and they had private rooms for tables and such. The owners were really nice dudes too who really cared about their business.

I tried to buy things from them whenever I could instead of the local GW. But the place was just always depressingly empty. The owners seemed pretty heartbroken about it when it finally went under. Still me sad when I think about it. Now the local gee dubs is my only refuge.

>>49673282
I'm in a similar boat. Nearest FLGS is 40 minutes away and I can't drive.

Once upon a time, GW used to be great for games. Not so much anymore.

I don't know of anyone else will find it sad, but I do. I've shared it here before.

>FLGS used to be owned by this old Grognard. A big, bearded guy who was always friendly and fun to hang out with.
>Every day he would open his store at 7, and would close somewhere around 11 or 12.
>He had been playing RPGs since the old days, and he had tons of great stories and memories
>His store was always a good place to hand out. Even if you weren't in the mood to play anything, you could go in and pop a movie in and you can guarantee someone from the staff would hang out and watch it with you
>He was always going to conventions and other stores. His stock never stayed the same for very long. He was always trading for games or books, and always trying to get a feel for what would interest people.
>A couple of years ago, he passed away from lung cancer.
>He left the store to his nephew who sold all the tabletop gaming stuff on eBay and ran the FNM players away
>He turned the store into a used game/DVD/cape shop
>The nearest game store is now an hour away.

>>49673281
Sounds like a failing in the game, that the game portion is not engrossing and entertaining enough to the point that it requires miniatures to be any good.

>>49673214

>Play a game called World in Flames. Huge, strategic level hex and chit WW2 game.
>Have some buddies at the FLGS, we play, as casually as you can play anything that has about 100 hours of play time to a game.
>Someone leaves the group, we place out an ad to see if anyone else will join, and we get a bite
>Not only that, he's played the game before, we won't have to teach him, and given how long the rules are, that's a real bonus.
>It turns out his dad used to be the world champion (less impressive than it sounds, as I'd guess there are maybe 5-600 players worldwide.
>He grew up with the game in his basement, was playing starting age eight.
>He's half anyone else in the group's age, but he has more playing experience than most of us.
>He doesn't just play us, I know he has some online games going at the same time.
>Check out some unofficial rankings, and he's considered a top 20 player.
>Kicks the ever loving shit out of all of us.
>He's not nasty about it or anything, earnest, bright, eager to please.
>And when asked how he does it, he pulls out chart after chart after chart of calculations and backup plans and production strategies.
>He doesn't really need them anymore, since he has most of it memorized, but it's a great planning aid.
>We keep him around for a few years.
>And over that time, the game has gotten less casual, less friendly, more competitive.

You know, this whole sort of thing is exactly why I've never gotten into actually playing Warhammer.

If I want to even _try_ it, I'll need to blow about £100 on models, more on paint, construct the models and paint them up, fuck up the paint jobs a few time cus new to the hobby.

Then I'll show up ready to try my first fight, bust out my amateur paint job Skaven/Orks, get my ass handed to me in several games by people who know how to pick their fights, or just because I can't comfortably get to grips with the rules, get sick of the elitist attitude in general, give up, let my army gather dust for a few months, and then try and hawk it on eBay for a fraction of the original price.

>>49644483
So true, I never really looked at magic as a way to earn money or prizes. As long as I am having some fun I won't mind giving away a few cards, sleeves, dice or any random accessories. Magic has been an amazing thing for me. Even though I almost never see him anymore, I got one of my best friends from playing magic.

>>49678552
I wish kill team miniatures would come pre painted. It would sell really well I think. It would make me buy them at least.

>>49676295
If you want 40k, start with Killteam. Way easier to get into, games are faster and thus, it is easier to learn rules. HoR killteam is better than GW killteam.

>>49679272
I know that feel. I like the game more than painting and modeling. I do understand that most people find main fun in making your Dudes models, but at least give a choice in case if a buyer is a filthy casual like me.

Of course they would, maybe not for a timed tournament, but for some casual games, sure.

>>49674547
The thing is though, that if you play miniature wargames competitively and ignore the hobby side, you're 100% a retard because there are so many better activities to use for a competitive outlet.

It's basically saying "I could be playing starcraft, Memoir44 or chess, but I prefer a game where I can take advantage of people who like painting toy soldiers over a fair fight".
