Hey, /tg/. I didn't play tabletop RPGs until like 2 years ago, so I missed the controversy over this edition. What exactly made everybody lose their shit over this? D&D 4th edition is really fun, from what I've played. What was wrong with it that pissed so many people off?
It wasn't the previous edition and people were dead set to hate it.

So, mechanically it's fine but people got mad it because of nostalgia reasons? That's so weird. I remember hearing one of my friends complaining when it came out because he thought it made D&D into World of Warcraft, which is a weird complaint because WoW was pretty fun back then.

Interlude: Silver Base
“No interference this time,” one of the technicians cheers as he turns from his monitor and toward the stone obelisk at the room’s center surrounded by an elaborate technical array being tended to by numerous other men and women in jump suits or military...

Quest Start
Closing the book and stacking it neatly on the side table of the quite comfortable chair, you rise and stretch your spine. While your tension is quite relieved by an exceptional amount of reading, you did still have other things to do today, even if not as the you who you are right now. There is still the matter of speaking with Nui Takeda regarding whatever it is she wanted to speak with you about, and your intentions of speaking with Tomoe-sensei at Infinity Academy.
You are normally Mikage Chiba, second year highschool student fifteen years old, formerly you were the third woman to be the magical champion of love and justice known as Sailor Moon after your mother and elder sister. Now your younger sister, Koyomi, serves as Sailor Moon; and you support her and her court of Sailor Guardians as the mysterious hero known as Eclipse.
To protect them and aid them you have your own burgeoning court of allies and supporters, but for reasons even you aren’t entirely clear on you continue to hide the truth from your younger sister that you’re the one supporting her against enemies tied to the past of your complicated family.
Presently you are in a guise, and are presently not Mikage. To cope with certain traumas, Mikage Chiba delved too deeply into using a magical disguise pen and crafted personalities to inhabit other than her own. They have taken certain independence, you have taken certain independence.
And recently, Mikage has been resolving the issues at the root of each persona and healing the wounds within herself. In the process properly reincorporating those personas into the whole of herself. Only one has made that journey so far, and another stubbornly resists the final pull, while yourself and a few of the others remain entirely unresolved.

While you will not resist coming home when you are finally beckoned, you will still enjoy the time you get to come out all the same. Though the next things you have to tend to aren’t really in your personal wheelhouse of activity.
You are called Daphne, and you are perhaps the most normal facet of Mikage Chiba’s fractured psyche. Posing as an exchange student from france, you while your time away when Mikage wants to be calm or relaxed outside of herself. Simply reading or enjoying warm drinks or calming...

PREVIOUSLY ON MAGICAL GIRL LIBERTY: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=Magical+Girl+Liberty
Only two full months had come and gone after Lou Gehrig’s Gettysburg Address on July 4th. You thought that was one of the most emotionally trying days of your life, and admittedly you’ve had quite a few of them these past few years. First, it was losing your father, then it was getting estranged with your mother afterwards, then it was being absolutely crippled in combat by a debilitating wound, then it was having your first kiss robbed by the last...

“Sumire, is there something you want from me?” you ask. You squint at her.
“Well… now that you mention it.” She coughs a bit. “There was this really really nice dress I saw.” You tilt your head, giving her the most motherly stern glare you can give to her. She sighs, dropping her façade of production and actual organization to her life. “Come on! You can’t worry yourself with what the Nazis are doing every waking moment of your life! So what if they invade Poland?”
You...

“And I’m glad you do.” She bends over and kisses you on the forehead. “Just relax. The Brits and the French will handle it before Christmas. Hitler gets deposed, the Soviet Union gets a lesson choosing its allies. Boom, we won’t even need to set foot on German turf.” She places her hands on her hips, looking around. “By the way, where’s Rana and Anneliese?”
“At the ballgame,” you say. “It’s about the first inning so they’ll be gone a while.”
Sumire smirks,...

And this. And probably putting a flamer on a Bolter has something to do with the machine spirits. They probably have to be of similar temperament to be stuck together. Otherwise you're shooting a gun that has two machine spirits that hate each other.
>>44002759
10 guys with bolters and 10 shots worth of flamer is usually worse than 9 guys with bolters and 1 guy with 100 shots worth of flamer
Grave edition
Any thoughts on the WB cleric chick? Looks pretty meh, maybe soul sisters needs to test her but that isn't saying much.
Is the restore balance deck actually good or is it just a meme deck?
>>44002589
2cmc with deathtouch to block tarmogoyfs etc. shitheads that can get rid off stuff like ugin, liliana or wurmcoil!? THE BEST SHIT EVER!
(no, but honestly some aristocrat list might be able to play her?)
Why the fuck can't they reprint aether vial. I'm honestly not getting into this shit format, before that uncommon piece of crap doesn't drop under 20$. Holy shit serum visions are at least 20$ a set?! Are you fucking insane.
Btw, why haven't abzan been on top8 lately? What is keeping it at bay?

You come back up through the temple, speaking with Ssett most of the distance. He seems to be a very inquisitive individual. As you start describing to him exactly what characteristics he can observe to determine which of you are male and which of you are female, you reach the room where you left Quissonce.
She spots you all and approaches, a light in her eyes and a fire in her walk that is quickly replaced by surprise and concern as she notices your non-mammalian companion.
“What is that?” A mischievous smile crosses Gabby's face as she looks at the...

“Piss.” Water starts to flow from the bottle into the pool. Okay, so someone with a crude sense of humor made this. Quissonce holds up a finger.
“Pussy.” The water starts to flow in greater amounts. You're pretty sure you get the joke, but Ssett sure doesn't. He looks over to you before asking what “pussy” means.
“And now for my favorite.” Quissonce says sarcastically in the human tongue.
“Blow my load.” A geyser of water explodes from the bottle and Quissonce has to brace herself to keep the thing on target. She quickly repeats...

Are Wraithlords cooler than Dreadnoughts, /tg/?
>>44001690
Of course.
Better mechanically, too.

>Are Wraithlords cooler than Dreadnoughts, /tg/?
Very much so. Dreadnaghts are so uncool that in 2nd Ed Draeadnoghtes were called "Space Marine Wraithlords" but later they had to be called Dreddnaoughtse instead because they were nowhere near as cool as Wraithlords.
Would you ever play an illegal board game?
>>44001301
D&D has been technically illegal in the town I grew up in since 1979. So yes.
>>44001301
What kinds of laws are being broken by this board game?
>>44001341
Bruh, what kind of town do you live in? And how the hell did that happen?
>As I mentioned, my partner was the teenage kid (his father was in another game). He was a bit impetuous (charging his missile boats straight into the melee in the middle of the board, for instance, despite being warned by the GM that his weapons had minimum range limitations!), and when told to stop peeling the 'china marker' pencils, explained that he had attention-deficit disorder. We had to watch him, as he kept knocking models over, bumping the gamemat, and kept forgetting the movement rules. He also talked non-stop ("Can we board enemy...

You've alerted me to the meeting of the Mages' Guild.
The ground is thick with rolling fog and the spirits of the dead rise from the ground before you. The source of the undead gathering is a wraith seemingly intelligent enough to have kept its mind intact despite its soul being twisted into an undead creation. Under its guidance the mindless patrolling undead have been alerted to your presence, but the undead are unsure what exactly to make of the massive mass of plant matter that has encircled their position.
At the same time the arrival of the merfolk leader has ended the hostility and anger being directed at you....

The deeds themselves Hestia has determined to be a mass of fractured space-time heavily infused with magic. While no enchantment exists within the deeds exactly, they are able to bind the soul of whoever uses them permanently to the corresponding circle of hell. Hestia classifies the phenomena as...
