    Reynad's Mad Scientist Hunter already looks like a deck polished by a month of testing. It's complete as is.

    I really like that Ultimate Fantastic Four story with the Super Skrull. It's got one of my favorite endings of any comic ever.

    Dungeons & Dragons - New & Old

    Fill the books with numbers and then have a free downloadable PDF with all the lore. Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion is an item book and one of the last released 4th edition products and the bulk of it is fluff. It didn't feel like I was getting my money's worth at all.

    In Red Son (which is fucking great if any of you have not read it) Luthor's ultimate weapon versus Superman is one sentence on a piece of paper.

    With Mist I'm hoping it's more of a tsundere kind of thing and less of a Valerie Solanas eradicate the male sex kind of thing.

    I don't want kids getting fucked in or by any institutions. I think arguing who fucks more kids is not an interesting debate to have.

    Dungeons & Dragons - New & Old

    I only this year bothered to actually read through a Pathfinder PHB and what stuck out immediately was all the flavor. Everything from 3.5 had a bit of salt and pepper sprinkled on it. It reeked ofeffort.Oh, this is why people speak so highly of this. If I was going to set one design goal for...

    It's alright, if I saw you getting raped by some negro in an alley I'd still splatter his brains all over your delicate frame as fast as my trigger finger allowed.

    That doesn't have anything to do with the system and everything to do with the person running the game.

    Yeah, focus on the marketing part and not the "having a really good product people want to play" part.

    Star Wars d20 isn't 3.75. That wasn't what anyone was trying to make. Pathfinderisa full update of 3.5. You do Pathfinder a real disservice when you call it a pretender when it's been the better selling product for years now.

    Pathfinder is a d20 product that uses the d20 open gaming license. It is not a "completely unique" anything.

    As much as I think 4th is greatnowthe PHB was shit and the Monster Manual was shit. Sure, I'm sad that meaningful products stopped coming out for it three years ago but I don't blame anyone but WotC for that. It's not their fault that people didn't keep buying their products after a shitty...

    We already have 3.75. It's called Pathfinder. That's literally what Pathfinder is called. It is called 3.75.

    Like I said I've been perpetually wrong from the release of Mythics onward but when I look at the secondary market I can't see anything other than a massive bubble waiting to be burst. If WotC decided to slowly unwind themselves from the reprint policy in a very controlled and public manner I...

    I'll been perpetually wrong about Magic for about four years now when it comes to the secondary market but I will stand by my prediction that if the game ever falters and WotC chooses to abandon the reserve list that Magic will die.

    When the article was posted about the computer science class I read it and aside from one very small complaint about using gendered language (the macho effect)to explain a behavior that is not gender specific (take up class time showing off) I think it's fine. I am all for making an introductory...

    The cards being valuable is a big part of the culture. Putting together that costly Modern or Legacy deck that you really like doesn't seem any different than the people building their dream car one part at a time. Sure, there are people that can just allocate the resources to have whatever...

    Anyone work in the jewelry business?

    I don't know anything about the jewelry side of things but I have a friend in the dental industry that recycles all the dust and particles left behind in the fabrication process for crowns and things. If you don't have any luck finding a place to unload the stuff at looking through jewelry...

    I'm surprised they were able to protect it, not that they tried to. Good on China then I guess? Tons of shit is big money. No reason to act extra suspicious and start trying to unload summer magic blue hurricanes and copy of the first world championship card.

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    Given the prices of things I think the game anticipates that you'll run around and swipe everything. Trying to buy skill books for level 1 companions looked impossible because I just wasn't stealing enough. The level 1 guys start with no skills! How can I possibly afford this! Oh,robbery.

    I figured out why I was having such a hard time. I was just jumping out into the world as soon as I got to town when there are lots of hidden passages, loot, and things to kill right there. That's why I never had money and couldn't help but fight things higher level, I was basically skipping an...

    I don't understand that article. It isn't ironic when someone who uses believes there is this thing called patriarchy wears an "I Bathe in Male Tears" shirt. You flat out do not care about the interests, concerns, or perspectives of men. That's fine. We mostly suck. But it isn't irony when you...

    Flipped though a 5th edition PHB today. My initial impression is that it is another iteration of d20 that is between 3.5 and Pathfinder. It's the Coke 2 into Coke Classic strategy. 4th Edition is Coke 2.

    I remember one encounter I ran early on with a couple firebats and two cave bears. The bears took fuckingforeverto kill. They had one awful encounter power, terrible damage, and 170 hp each. It was just an awful slog. I was very, very appreciative of the Monster Manual 2 and 3. The MM1 is just...

    There was more shit going on with the box/table and the dude is amazing at sleight of hand, exactly as Penn and Teller deduced. What they missed was that part of the trick involves the performer knowing that they'll accurately guess how the trick is done so he had an additional step of the trick...

    I logged on to my smurf account that has 9 games versus bots and 1 ranked loss for its last ten games. The most recent game was played on March 4th. It was chat restricted for 30 games.

    That's not how that goes. What happened is that the people who slogged through the imbalances and made it to the endgame would then later defend them and be opposed to change. There was not some subset of "advantaged" level 1 players.
