I did. $250 is too low for the volume I wanted to move. Cost of shipping + time spent packing wasn't a better value proposition than just putting in more OT at my day jobs. $250 is above MSRP but that's hardly "scalper prices." I was expecting at least $350 per box, with ideally $500+.

Nexon's lawsuit against Ironmace in the US has been dismissed on the grounds of forum non conveniens. While this is partly good news for Ironmace, it also means that Nexon can re-file suit in Korean court. You can read the full decision here...

They've announced it on Discord as of 5 minutes after your post, though there are a lot of issues going on with the integration. I think the reason why they were waiting to announce it is because they were waiting to see if they got it approved in their home country of Korea, but the ratings...

64 boxes in wave one is impressive. I don't know the exact wave two allocation but my LGS told me that they received their wave two allocation and confirmed they would be able to fulfill my preorder of two master cases, as well as my friend's who also ordered two master cases. ...but...

Are people really going to pay scalper prices for boxes when there's no official play this year and the supply issue will be solved in a month and a half? I don't see it happening.

There's no "flipping," prices are barely over MSRP. At Gen Con you could by boxes from "scalpers" for 200. The singles market is already way below expected value. Maybe prices go up when we have the actual release and people realize that LGSes got boned when it comes to actual allocation but the...

I ended up taking Uzuri to Skirmish but my 75% winrate on Talishar did not convert into a win at Skirmish. I lost to a Kano because I didn't have the sideboard space for Oasis and I lost to a Rhinar because he got the nuts and made it a total non-game. Oh well, time to grind CC to get ready for...

Hmmm I don't remember too much of all of that... I definitely remember no PvP in the library though, that really sucked. Man, this is making me want to play again but I just don't have the time...

Yeah Hasla weapons at launch was weird. The area was essentially a no-go zone during neutral/war time (zerging prevented any significant amount of farming, even if you were winning fights), and during peace time, people were stealing mobs from each other and it really wasn't fun. Obsidian gear...

Trying to figure out all of my options on who to take to the skirmish, I don't really like any of them. Kano: Good into Warrior, mediocre into Guardian, bad into Dash, bad into Prism Emperor: Mediocre into Warrior, Dash, and Prism, bad into Guardian, auto-lose to Kano Uzuri: Reasonable into...

CF Luminaris stonks too...

Why is half of the trailer made up of people making out? How is this Dungeons and Dragons??

No way it's a bug. Did you see the squirrel's reaction?

I have no idea how this has anything to do with Dungeons and Dragons

News on the earthquake insurance front: it's relatively inexpensive for me to get earthquake insurance to cover my own dwelling, but as part of the regulations of my HOA, members will be assessed for any common area damage that isn't covered by the HOA earthquake insurance policy... and since...

Yeah, Mercury is offering to give me $100,000 of dwelling coverage with a 15% deductible for a much more reasonable annual price (I believe this is CEA). I'm considering that just so I have something in case a once-in-a-couple-of-decades earthquake occurs that damages part of my house.

My HOA recently dropped earthquake insurance because the deductible was so high that there was no conceivable way to pay it out if we ever actually needed to use our coverage. I've been sent a letter with a recommendation on where to get my own earthquake coverage through a company that has...

She genuinely believes this stuff. She was on the episode of the Whatever podcast that also had Destiny on and while she didn't speak much, her views were consistent with her videos.

Embers Adrift is now buy-to-play, with an optional subscription for character slots, bank space, and some convenience stuff: They also introduced a feature in March that expands the level range at which players can group. I'm definitely going to make time to try out all the new stuff.

I absolutely blew it today with extremely sloppy plays. Went 1-3 and dropped. I might just go to Vegas for the Calling anyways.

Yeah I used to run Frost Fang and C&C for that but I'm focusing more on arcane damage effects like Encase and Icebind since people are running around with low AB.

EQ1's lore was lifted directly from a homebrew D&D campaign. There's quite a lot of obvious influences.

I got top 8 again on my Sunday RTN but lost again in the quarterfinals 🤬 I have a CF Uzuri and Riptide now at least, and one more opportunity to get my nats invite on Saturday.

Got top 8 at a RTN yesterday with Iyslander. Sadly lost in the quarterfinals so no invite. Trying again today!

The vampire stuff in BD was optional content I believe, that's why it might have seemed odd toward the end. There are sidequests that expand upon it further in BS.

It's a little weeby but still very good. The character relationships become much more clearly defined (I'd argue that their ambiguity in the first game is more stereotypical "weeby".)

BD is very good, Bravely Second is a masterpiece of the genre IMO. You do need to play Bravely Default first though or else you'll miss a lot of the story connections that make it so good. I think DQ9 is very good if you do multiplayer, but as a single player game I think it's just okay.

Someone should make a Gandalf Twitter account that just replies to transpeople posting pictures of themselves with "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

5,000 subs + merch sales being able to support your team is an amazing place to be at. If that's sustainable for them then this game will be amazing regardless of whether it explodes in popularity or not.

5.5% in 2022 😔

I might have been exaggerating but there absolutely will be money to be made if you can get your hands on the product. There's not going to be enough supply from the first print wave to satisfy demand.

Nah I will be hoarding anyways. Sorry kids (and weirdo adults who want to play a Disney card game), you will be putting my kids through college.

Counterpoint: It would be really annoying if you keep getting summoned every two minutes when you're trying to get other things done in the abyss.

How do people play Nourishing in Riptide? I don't understand the concept.

RTN events are up. I'll be attending three locally, maybe four depending on how things go. Flesh & Blood Events Locator

Daybreak doesn't invest, they just want to collect checks from maintenance mode titles.

Weird stuff going on in the IATSE unions. My union has been advised that we can decide for ourselves whether to honor picket lines or not, but if we join the lines, we can't wear any IATSE apparel or any apparel representing our local... and yet IATSE as an organization is posting stuff like...

This whole ORC license thing may somewhat solve the wokeism problem (or at least circumvent it) by giving any third party publisher carte blanche to use the game rules for whatever narrative elements they want. It's not revocable so Paizo can't stop anything made using the rules.

I can set it to 80:08 but that's the best I can do.

No, you choose your stats. You start with base 10 in every ability (with some ancestries starting with 8 or 12 in certain abilities) then you apply ability "boosts" to choose what you want your character to be good at/bad at. It's like a simplified version of point-buy. Each boost increases a...
