Hey anons
Merry christmas
But really though. I just got XWING for christmas, and I was wondering what kinds of ships I should pick up. I got the TFA starter, so two Ties w/ shields and a X-Wing. I'm thinking of getting an A wing and maybe a Tie Defender or Tie Interceptor.
Any in particular that are really good? Any to avoid like the plague?
>>44369556
The best bet for the defender and interceptor is to get the Imperial Aces/Veterans and single ships. They give you all the pilots for it and some very tasty upgrades and titles. Though you do get a bomber with Veterans. But it really depends if you want to do.
>>44369556
Depends on what faction(s) you want to play. If you're playing Imp, you buy an Interceptor or you prove yourself a faggot. And then you buy Imp Aces and run three of the bastards.
I may or may not be biased as a TIE pilot for the 501st.
But Defenders are nice but boring. If you're a tier-monkeying faggot, Phantoms are always capable of getting you punched in the face. And if you want TIE Swarms, you need the TIE pack for Howlrunner.
For Rebs, I don't really know but Poe with BB-8...

Tie Phantom is give a good punch for the points, something the Imps tend to lack.
How do I make an interesting plains setting? I'm used to forests and such and wanna look for something a bit new to me. The inhabitants and cultures I can handle, but how do I make something like this geographically interesting and possibly fun to play in? I've got everything else in my setting map figured out except for this part. Any advice?
Think of the American Midwest, but in a high fantasy setting. That's the kind of feel I'm going for.

I need art references of Magic Circles for a homebrew/comic I'm working on.
Post all you got.

I think there's a big compendium of circles in the Archives that were based on a system that /tg/ created.

For a thousand years, the Kaga family had ruled over the lands, bringing peace, prosperity, and before untold Culinary knowledge to all. Guarded and aided by their elite men, the Iron Chefs, the dynasty lived. But 40 years ago, Dacascos, pretender to the throne, seized control in a violent clash with the aging Takeshi Kaga. He and his new Iron Chefs began a reign of terror and awful cooking the world has never seen before. Man was limited to takeout and microwave food, and quality ingredients were made illegal to all but his chosen few, with severe punishments for buying or...

Isn't Southern + French basically just Cajun cooking?

Yeah, that's what I meant. Cajun.

What's a systemor settingthat would handle ominitrix style shape-shifters well?

Mutants and Masterminds, easy.
The omnitrix is a relatively simple Variable power effect with Limitation on that it needs to be alien life it's analyzed or something attached to a Device.

No really, dump stat is a confusing term, as people think 'this is what you dump everything in' and 'this is your dumpster stat, which is basically trash'.
I've been going by it being your trash stat for like, 6 years.
>>44366201
Dump stat is the stat you never expect to use, so you put your worst score in it.
Character is mute? Charisma dump stat.
It's the stat you don't care about having anything in. You get no mileage out of it, so you have it as low as possible to free up things for the stats you will use.
Personally I am fucking terrible at having anything as a dump stat, except maybe Strength and sometimes Wisdom.

If you had to arm a battalion of soldiers to take down a demon with limited knowledge, what would they get armed with? You have enough time to make specialized gear for this operation as long as it isn't innovative. Details known are as follows.
>The Demon is typically man sized
>Demon is staying in the ruins of a city that it destroyed
>The recently dead can be raised and used as foot soldiers for the demon

Half a battalion of multiple rocket launchers, placed very very far away from half a battalion of nuclear-armed multiple rocket launchers. Have a few machine guns with silver-tipped bullets to accompany the first batch, just in case that shit works.
When the first half of the battalion is inevitably torn to pieces, have the area saturated with nuclear fire.

Rail guns
>>44364528
Use an artillery battallion, preferably with direct fire and attached combat engineer and anti tank companies that will support with battlefield obstacles, mines and anti armour fire, while hoping that a direct hit from several field artillery pieces with different types of ammunition can stop it.
Take a look into what a modern tank mine can do. Certain type of mines utilize a molten, shaped metal disc that will fucking destroy a tank and its crew.
And before anyone says you can't do direct...

My players asked if I could run a shonen like game. Problem is, I've never watched an anime. So I have no idea what that "shonen like" means.
>>44364253
I also don't watch anime, but I recently torrented the 1986 Fist of the North Star movie, and really enjoyed it. I would recommend you watch that soon.
Ok, it's easier to actually see it than it to be explained to you.
And "shounen like" is a pretty wide band of possible themes/plots/etc.
If we want to go for classic, watch the following:
>Yu yu Hakusho
>Fist of the North Star
>HunterxHunter
>Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
This should give you a view of what shounen was like in the 90s/00s.
One Piece and Boku no Hero Academia are examples of decent shonen that would be fun to play through. I suggest you read them/some of them (OP is fucking huge so you probably don't have time to read all of it). Kongou Banchou is also worth mentioning here, along with Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer (technically not shounen but so close to shounen done right it doesn't matter).
You too know the drill.

It's good to be from a geeky family.
The longest winter you’ve yet lived through is still upon you. The air is crisp, and dry; the horizon offers no contrast against a hazy, gray sky, overcast as it’s been for days, with the barest inklings of light shining down through clouds. A fresh snowfall is descending, to cover up the streets and sidewalks. It’s a death shroud, maybe, or perhaps the lid of a pure white coffin, pressed down from above to finally entomb you beneath the earth.
“Well?” You ask yourself, stopping to look up. There’s crunching beneath your feet as you turn in place. Get on with...

The park is coated in a fine layer of white. There’s some elementary school-age kids having a snowball fight near the pavilion. The bridge where you proposed is wet and slippery. The little stream that passes under it is frozen solid. As you pass through the outermost gate, your apartment complex comes into view a ways down the street. You’ve got a place to live, at least, for another month or two.
Well, depending on how much cash you want to blow on food.
Your door is the one with the ‘Merry...

The way Broken Sky Online messes with your mind bothers you. It seems to manipulate its players, moving on a completely different timescale than reality.
When you first logged in, you played for what felt like more than a day, but logged out before restaurants began to close that same night. You’ve gained multiple full days of “extra time”, if you can call it that, in this way, and almost lost the same amount; since the game came out, multiple updates have adjusted the scale in either direction.

How do I get into MTG? I want to play over the internet preferable. Cocatrice?
You can either get Magic Workstation
or download Magic Duels on Steam
magic 2014 is really good. it's a video game but playing against the AI in that teaches you how the game works, how the cards work together and what their rules do, etc.
it has a really good modding community which I didn't even know about until I played it for more than 80 hours.
but one thing, it really spoils you against IRL magic since the computer takes care of everything.
I can't remember how many times I forgot to tap the stupid lands playing IRL or actually do the basic stuff.
anyways I don't know why but playing magic offline doesn't...

Magic Duels via Steam (Limited pool, but reasonable price)
2014 was best in my opinion. But 2016 is newest
Cocatrice (No price, no limit, no rules)
MTGO (Official online tool. Pretty much like the real thing, including the money sink, but hosts real sanctioned events.)
