    Surprised to not see one of these here. I believe it was the SoV preorder promo.

    Hex was pretty cool, first run through (5 players) took ~11 hours but that's with learning from scratch till we beat the end guy. Also ~6-8 blunts so ymmv. Combat seem either awkward or we don't get it fully yet. Scaling the difficulty during play seems forced, but ultimately necessary because...

    That's Dan Bock's car. If you use any of the high end MTG trade groups in FB hes probably running them. Not sure how long (or if he still has) ago that car was tho.

    Betrayal at Baldurs Gate

    This game is really a D&D reskin of Betrayal at House on the Hill. That being said iv'e heard Betrayal is fun.

    Lost to an 11 year old at Legacy tonight, he was playing budget elves. But I did teach him to either call Craterhoof 'Kate' or say 'What the hoof' every time he played it. so thats something

    We have Tuesday and FNM Legacy every week around here, I forget how spoiled I am sometimes. Numbers are still pretty strong but we outnumber the FNM Standard people now so i'd guess that player base really is dropping like a stone. Few girls once in a while, always someone's GF, always playing...

    X-Com-alike pen and paper game?

    Didn't they just do a space version of Pathfinder? Could help with the framework, but you would need to build out a lot to get what you are looking for. I always felt the OWOD (never played New) system was great to represent 'modern day average working man' as a character.

    Man this got me going! Month or two ago I wanted to open some product so I asked around if anyone wanted to do a funzies draft. Legacy guys 'Why would I play that if theirs nothing for me to win?'. So i said they could keep their pools if they wanted to pay for the packs. 'Why would I pay...

    Yeah i hate the people who treat it like a job, unfortunately that's a lot of Legacy players and all I really play is Legacy. Upside of having a lot of Part Time Legacy workers is we get a half decent local Legacy scene. Tues night, Fri night at 2 places, a 1k every 2-3 months. So I kinda let...

    I PMed 2 more codes out. I should have 2 more but they might have been left at the venue. It kinda sucked honestly, they were trying to cater to new people so after you built your deck you wandered around to find another player who was ready, play 1 game (not even 2 out of 3), free muligan...

    Thanks for the response. I am in the process of liquidating the chaff from my collection. Plan is to reduce to maintain a Legacy pool, 93/94 pool, a cube, and a few EDH decks. Normally i don't want to sell stuff in a hurry but someone got me tix to the con so i want some spending cash. Gona...

    The Benefits of Socialism

    You are agreeing to the idea that socializing one thing is far apart from socializing everything then? Talking about the facts and the numbers are totally a thing, but just conceptually socializing something doesn't HAVE to lead to just be because "someone who wants socialism either wants free...

    The Benefits of Socialism

    So you define it more as a math thing? How much of the GDP is relevant. So if I wanted to take the bubble gum industry and place it under federal control, this would not be Socializing the Gum industry because its not as impactfull on the general economy?

    The Benefits of Socialism

    Lets see if we can come to an agreement on what socialism means. To me, socialism is taking a 'thing' and putting under collective control. 99 out of 100 times this collective control will be a government but its not strictly required. Remember when Reagan federalized the air traffic...

    Meh. Why do you get to rewrite the definition of socialism? And I find it hard to believe large swaths of the population including successful businessmen and politicians are just retarded.

    Any rational argument gets drowned out with memes and buzzwords so fast there's no chance. Past that I would love to have an honest conversation with intelligent people who disagree with my worldview. I think a big problem is people wont be critical of people or arguments from their own side...

    I have been fairly exhaustive in my medical testing and evaluations and feel pretty confidant I am in the right place medically.

    Some good ideas here, my situation changes up some of the possibilities.

    Had to make sure I posted this in the Grown Up section... Maybe its too vague to have many serious responses but I didn't want to color the discussion early. I think you have to set aside some Hookers-n-Blow money, and you have to invest some to cover inflation. Past that starting a...
