>Go to my first Magic the Gathering FNM
>Half my opponents are wearing large headphones, and refuse to communicate with me
Is this normal?
>>44077722
From my perspective as an outsider looking in, no. FNM at the 4 or so stores I've had the privelege to game in is a time of arguing and occasionally tears.
>Wearing headphones in the LGS
Is this really a thing in America?
>Refuse to communicate
>In a card game
Might as well play a different game. No communication= No game.
>The antagonists du jour are warrior-women
Couldn't the party bard alone put them out of commission for 9 months?

The party doesn't have a bard!
>nah, don't make a bard, make a useful character, they said

Casting Impregnation is a touch attack.
What's Guild Ball?
Short answer: The best game you haven't played
Slightly longer answer: Medieval mob ball crossed with gladiator combat from the coliseum.
Long Answer: Guild Ball is a table top skirmish game for a fantasy sport. You win by reaching a set amount of points before your opponent, which are gained by taking out his team, scoring goals, or a mix of the two. Playing Football or focusing entirely on combat are equally viable ways to win.
Teams represent one of the various trade guilds, currently there are 8 playable guilds with more being released next year. Guild ball is simple to pick up but hard to master. Teams are composed of six models, fielding a team for a full sized game costs <$100 USD.
Rules and templates for proxy models are available for free http://guildball.com/#downloads
Abridged Lore:
> Stupid humans are stupid humans and start fighting amongst themselves. Conflicts continue and escalate, strings of wars break out across the entire continent that become known as the Century War
> Century War is fucking ruining everything. The various trade guilds realise this is ultimately going to do nothing but bankrupt them and leave all their customers dead.
> Guilds unite behind the political scenes and simultaneously lean on all the weakened countries to eventually broker a peace.
> Realising that humans are fucking stupid ass animals, if they don't give them something to channel their aggression and nationalistic pride into the peace will be shortlived and the wars will resume.
> Guilds nationalise mob football, a popular peasant game in every country, as Guild Ball. Guild Ball essentially becomes Europe's The Premier League + Roman Gladiator fighting.
> Guild ball is keeping the peace but also now making the guilds a fuckload of money.

Its cool but pricey for me stateside, also kinda a hard sell honestly.

Wait... what table top games can you field full sized games for under $100 US?
That's like... incredibly cheap for this medium.

Dreadball.
Gg thread.
Okay, This is the start of a Kingdom Game similar to those of the last few days but a restart to bring in new players and new life
The Rules:
1. Select a kingdom that is currently unclaimed, ask if youre unsure.
2. When you select a kingdom role 1d10
3. Name your kingdom, and name our ruler.
4. must have a trip code. Whick is ##(your password) after your name.

My man, that looks much better than mine! I'll have [5].
Rolled 90 (1d100)
>>44077396
Kingdom is named Greenland, since I'm uncreative. Ruler is named after his kingdom.
>>44077396
Roll 1d10
Your nation is a strong Island nation, your peoples have been ship makers for ages.
You have a small population of 12,000 but your nation is dominated by extensive forests that bare fruit and small exotic birds.
Your coasts provide abundant fish, octopus and coral reefs.
Your western coast is to rocky for docks but provides a small amount of iron.
Who is your ruler? also what square is your capitol in?
I want to get into wargaming, /tg/. I'm thinking about giving it a whirl with the "Little Wars" rules set, as written by H. G. Wells. Is it any good? Also, what would be a suitable (affordable) gun to use in the game? Those naval gun replica's seem to be quite pricey :/
I've seen alternative rules with paper standees instead of miniatures, and shooting paperclips with a rubber band. The only real cost there is cardstock, printer ink, and time
It doesn't work anymore, since it's written for toy cannons with springs that were way stronger than what's allowed in toys today.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
