Banished?
Been waiting for this for ages now, figured I'd share some photos of the contents, if there's any particular element you'd like to see more shots of, just lemme know.
A shot of the glossy print of the logo on the matte finish box.
The titties.
Not even a lewd dude, but really, that's the element I'm most interested in.
>>44159062
Sate yourself with this for now, I'll take some shots of the titty sprues.
There's a lot of titty in this box.
The next card to see a ban in the format is _____
Cranial Plating
>>44158467
Really? Why do you say that?
I guess I could see it. It nerfs Affinity without killing it. But does Affinity need a nerf right now? It is number one in the meta but that doesn't mean its unbeatable
is Pod banned yet?
failing that, some blue cantrip

Apparently the next publication of the HH book has no real changes, it's just that BaC put them super out-of-stock..
>>44158217
That's a good sign for the 30k future then. Maybe we will get more plastic kits?
>>44158571
I think the easiest next step would be to take the Tactical and Termie sprues from BaC and make them their own boxes.
Worst Golem Substances.

Well theres bad...and then theres..BAD
for example:
Paper golem:
Flammable, weak to slash, weak to anything. bad
Piss golem
Made of piss, disgusting, wtf dude, magical realm bullshit, get out if my house.BAD
Taffy golem
Sticky, annoying, covered in ants, ew. bad
Leather golem (black)
Whips and chains, bondage time, dark elf approved. Wtf no grappling, why is my bard crying. Jesus christ why. BAD

I think you mean BEST Golem Substance.

The Cotton Candy Glob lasted about 30 seconds. It was a monster that Scoob and Shaggy weren't afraid of, and therefore was worthless.
How do you handle the wear and tear/damage of equipment in your game?
>>44181710
bump

I just assume it's taken care of in the downtime because it's a pain to track.
I don't.
Bills and regular maintenance are the sort of thing we play these games to escape.
I want to build a special army, /tg/. I don't want to make a vanilla Space Marine army, but I don't want to go full xeno either, so I came up with an idea similar to the old Deffwotch campaign.
The premise:
> Xenos have everything needed to start a space marine chapter, either through theft or reverse-engineering of Imperial STCs
> They are using it to infiltrate the Imperium for some reason
> they must actually wear the power armor, use the vehicles, etc.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

This premise is pretty stupid. Let's try it.

like 2 or 3 xeno races that may or may not know the others are xenos.

Your thoughts, however, are interrupted as you slowly pick through the snowy park by the sound of an odd bubbling sound, as if someone were boiling water near by. You stop and look around, finally spotting the source of the noise. A small jagged white line has appeared in thin air, not fifty feet away from you. You can't help but investigate it. But, the moment you draw closer, you see something, a black twisting mass and a single white eye with a black pupil appear, the line widening to a tear.

You don't stick around to see what that thing is planning to do with that arm. You try to force yourself to run, yelling internally as you feel your whole body lock up both with the cold and with fear.
Eventually you find it within yourself to turn and sprint away, as quickly as you can. However, you can hear whatever that thing is behind you running, and far faster. To your disappointment, however, you slip, the wet ground on the trail triumphing over your tennis shoes. You brace yourself with your...

My Friends, I need a MTG Morality check from the community at large if you would be so kind.
Yesterday, being my birthday, I bought a booster box of "Conspiracy" and treated my LGS to a free draft, prizes included. Only eight showed, so we re-drafted the final four.
I did end up winning, and was not "allowed" to win (I got a look at people's final hands after they were thrown down in disgust).
The game went like this. I drafted G/W/U grabbing everything that drew cards for blue, removal/protection spells from white, and big creatures from green.
The game went pretty badly for me, and it was only thanks to my donating card draw to the guy next to me that I was in the game at all. I was at 3 life when I dropped the slient arbiter. Next turn I played Terastodon, and eleminated all of one person's red mana. (the only one who had red at the table for some reason) giving her 3 3/3 elephants. This was at least accepted as fair play by the others there. There followed three turns of 1v1 attacks that did little to anyone, because we all had four or five creatures out at that point. The next turn (and the last to really matter) I dropped "Unquestioned authority" on my Terrastodon, giving it protection from creatures, and killed the first opponent in one swing. I had in hand a card to give protection from color, and a card to destroy target artifact. Over the next four turns, I swung un-blockable at each of the other two players, leaving my 'ally' for last.
Was this in the spirit of the game, or was it really cheap as they claim? The combo was not something that anyone could have pulled off, I had to survive into late game by playing the ultimate combination of chump blocking and politics, and with a CMC of 8, the terrastodon is in clear "end game" territory.
Should I have been merciful? Was it a dick move of me to win my birthday draft?
>>44177282
>>44177237
No, that seems fine to me, as long as you weren't being a dick and gloating about it during or after the game. Good play.
You are an awesome lizard thing, and you aren’t fond of memories.
See, it isn’t exactly easy being an awesome lizard thing, born straight into the Realm where weird and crazy are the norm. Half the things you meet in that place will want to eat you, and those that don’t are probably just too full.
You’ve only been living for a year, and about six months of that was mostly running away, hiding, and surviving.
The other six months were spent with her.

Information: Upon returning to his own territory, Daikon was alerted to invaders attacking several of his worlds.

Welcome to Saiyan Quest. This takes place in the years Frieza controlled Planet Vegeta, as the Saiyans grow in strength and try to find a way to free themselves.
Voting will operate on a first to five system, at least for the time being.
Dialogue is allowed to be added to votes, as are actions (though I'll ignore what I consider shitposting)
During battles, options will usually have a number assigned to them. After that vote has won, players will roll a d100, and have three chances to match or beat that number.
If a 100 is rolled, it is considered...

Question #1: Reorganizing the tier list for better definitions based on power vs. flexibility: yea or nay?
Question #2: What makes tier 2 tier 2, if not spells like Teleport, Plane Shift, Planar Binding/Ally, Create Demiplane, Raise Dead, Summon Monster, and certain divinations?
If you are asking for build advice, please mention which third-party books are allowed. If you do not say anything, we will ask (probably about DSP).

Is tier based on average optimization? Because the average wizard I play with is complete shit at his job.
Disregarding any issues with picking a Rogue itself, is the Knife Master archetype worthwhile? D8s on sneak attacks, looks nice, but its only 1 extra damage per die on average. I think.
Has anyone played any of the B5 races yet, like the Caligni or Reptoid?
How was it?
Hello /tg/, I'm currently in the middle of a D&D 3.5 campaign. Our party has controlled a city and left all control of it to the cleric (me) because the rest of the party are self-centered douchebags who only care about loot.
The DM is planning to turn this campaign into something as expansive as Daggerfall, and as difficult as Dark Souls even though 3/4 of the party are new to D&D. His plan is to kill off as many of us as possible and to make as many dick moves as possible.
I didn't want to let this happen, so I talked with the others and decided...

>throw burgers
You should open up a chain of burger restaurants instead. Instead of using natural ingredients, just use magic to enhance the flavors. This way you get your R&D department and the rest of the group gets their loot tenfold.
That is, if your burger is any good.
