FFXIV : The Quest for Pants because I sure as fuck don't start with any

I didn't even make the connection those two posts were the same guy. Yeah, go fuck yourself @Vinen

Oh, you're one of those rogues.

Modern Horizons was a fucked up set.

I'd rather they went too hard than too soft.

Finished up Uncrowned, book seven of Will Wight's "Cradle" series. The further I got in to the series the less time it took me to finish each one. It's been a while since I decided to just stay up through the night to finish a book but here we are. It's just such a damn treat when each entry in...

Lanx said trading is house rules!

Good lord trading is not house rules holy shit you casuals fuck.

I'm still having a good time but the knowledge that I was never going to get an alt anywhere near ready in time kept me from even bothering to make something to complement my primary. With the numbers, coordination and experience of the current player base large areas of the game can be rendered...

At least these days I can see it being infinitely easier for unicorns to exist. You stumble across a video of Will Wheaton playing something on an episode of TableTop that a friend linked because Star Trek or maybe you see something on an episode of Big Bang Theory (or South Park) that catches...

I know women that play board games, DnD and the like. I just don't know any that didn't find their way to the table through a boyfriend or husband.

I know I have the experiences of but a single shitlord but those kinds of girls are unicorn status. I've heard of them. I've seen them depicted in fiction. I have never seen glimpsed one in the wild. If a couple ladies walked in to the game store looking for people to play some Castles of...

Two girls showing up to play DnD ready to go with characters rolled up? What a time to be alive!

Blood for the Blood God. Skulls for the Skull Throne.

I expect early WSG to stem the flow of blood a bit and make the murdering a little more focused.

I listened to season one of Malcolm Gladwell's podcast Revisionist History and thought it was pretty good. Each episode wasn't too long and the topics were varied. http://revisionisthistory.com/ That first season also takes place in this cheery little bubble of time when Trump was not yet the...

First first? Not really. In a premade the Enchanter tends to die at least a little bit more than the other members of the group over the course of leveling.

it gives them a day or so to see if anything completely falls apart which I don't hate.

She might be a weeb.

I'm halfway through book four, Skysworn, now and they keep getting better. I'm sorta sad you described Will Wight as the gold standard / maybe the best because that means I'm not going to have anywhere to go after but for now they're just great.

If we're going to tinker with the teams than I want the following - The central faction of the game is comprised of everyone that is not in a guild. They represent the declining civilizations and the remnants of those that already fell. They're clinging to the past. They are The Old. Their...

If you liked the film the book it is based off of is also very good and different enough that you won't feel like you're going over too much old ground.

It sounds like it's threading a strange needle. The book isn't very much about the Overlook Hotel and its "guests." Many of the iconic imagery from The Shining comes from Kubrick's version and Kubrick's alone. The Shining (book) has no blood wave, the twin girls make no appearance, there's no...

Oh man, there's always a couple movies in these that catch my eye that I wouldn't otherwise have ever known about.

If they wanted a pushed planeswalker for a chase card + story focal point combo than fine but three was a poor choice of mana cost especially when the set's mana dork had synergy with him.

You should always be able to go to the card pool and give yourself a leg up should the format be warped to a high degree. Metas involving a best deck and its hard counters aren't aren't great but at least the wheel of options is present. If everyone knows X is the best deck you can choose to...

I'm not sure we've ever had any interaction before. I cannot and will not get behind targeted harassment of artists where people virtue signal their defacement of that person's work all over a liked Trump Jr. tweet.

The putrid bile and venemous hatred that has flowed towards Terese Nielsen for her crime of liking tweets from the likes of Tucker Carlson, Trump Jr. and InfoWars and for the temerity to vote for a Republican are so out of line with who I am and what I believe that I likely could never return to...

In League I've always thought that it was a game in which being a little better than someone translated in to that side almost always winning.

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD (I've done this)

Sweet, thanks!

Alright what song is it.

The next ban update is the 18th of November and everyone knows this is a lame duck format. If some folks put together sweet anti-Oko technology that'll be fun to watch but I expect players just practiced what has already been proven to be good and are looking forward past the ban(s).

I can't take wotc event coverage seriously. It's just always so far up its own ass.

That movie is really fucked up on repeat viewing. Nicole Kidman's character takes off her dress the same way as the prostitutes, Tom Cruise's apartment is impossibly big for a person of his job implying he's in to some other shit on the side and at the end of the picture their kid is about to be...

Wasn't Nicole Kidman's poppa a super pervert?

After Bill Cosby (and all the Epstein shit) the rumors that have floated forever regarding A listers like Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg are a little more plausible but I'm going to keep on hoping they're all bullshit. You get something like an 8mm snuff film of Spielberg fatally sodomizing...

I finished up recently Unsouled (Cradle Book 1) and Soulsmith (Cradle Book 2) by Will Wight. They are what I am told are "Xiaxia" novels. Martial arts, Asian mysticism, magic, demons, elementals and our heroes reaching new heights of power in their quest to do something impossible. Our main...

Daybreak has had a few promotions of the years for free level 85 characters. Entering the game with a couple hotbars of ability names is not welcoming. Mouse over something, no description. Is this an AA ability? Is it a class ability? Archetype? There's a bunch of tabs here and each tab is a...
