So what makes more sense to you as a stat for melee accuracy: Strength or Dexterity/Agility?
>>43858239
Melee Accuracy (MACC) obviously.
Dec/agility to hit, with str augmenting damage.
>>43858239
Dex/Agi for accuracy, STR for damage, and maybe parry effectiveness
I'm looking to get into Magic. I had a small collection of lousy cards as a kid, but have recently been playing casual with a friend. I'm looking to get some cards of my own to play at the dinner table and see where it goes from there.
Are those duel decks any good? What can I expect to find in stores? Or am I better off picking some lots up off the internet?
Any suggestions for a noob?
Thanks!
What format are you looking to play? If you are planning on playing casual picking up the card lots might not be a bad idea. If standard, I'd recommend the Battle For Zendikar event deck. You can build a nice sacrifice deck out of that (without losing your life savings in order to pay for fetch lands). Modern will require a little research and a larger investment. Commander is essentially a sandbox and there are a lot of ways to get started in that.
Also, buying cards singles in store is generally a rip off, but it depends on your community. Make sure you compare the prices of the store to that of a site like tcgplayer. My gaming store charges about 40 percent more than the card is worth, so you have to be careful about that.

I was thinking Modern because I like the idea that my cards won't be phased out of the format. I really don't like the idea of paying to be competitive though.
Inexperienced GM here. I've played a few Mongoose Traveller games before, and it is by far my favorite system. I'm going to be running a small game for two friends, and to build motivation, I wanted to find some fellow TravAnons to discuss this glorious game with.
Tell me about your favorite Traveller stories, characters, and settings! Homebrew shit is welcome and encouraged.
I'm probably going to be basing our game in the fringes of the Third Imperium. I prefer gritty, near future sci-fi, so I don't generally like Tech Level 12 and up. But...

>How do such things come to pass
Lots of ways. Religious strictures, wars, disasters.
The big one is that that you can't manufacture stuff without the right infrastructure. Devices need parts need components need tools need alloys need chemicals, on down in a massive branching tree of dependencies. And all of that needs people who can handle each step.
Lack any of those and you can't make that particular thing, and probably a whole host of other things. If your...

Let's have a Degenesis thread, 'cause some of you fuckers have to have the physical books at this point surely. How is everyone's campaigns going?

It's completely SFW.
Forty two men wander about the now empty evacuated city, they are stealing glances at your group occasionally, their weapons ready to draw. Their hostility seems to go beneath the notice of its intended target, Tslah pure gold eyes are focused on you as she basks in the glow of raw power joining your host has granted her. The giant lizard of course doesn’t let basking go unchallenged, and with no small amount of effort the lizard has discovered how to harness the mana that radiates off of you to bask.

The inclusion of various types of "animal people" (primarily cat, wolf, and rabbit types) alongside the traditional elves and dwarfs is a staple of Japanese fantasy settings, and one of the most noticeable ways in which they tend to differ from Western ones.
How can this be done in a setting like Mystra, the Forgotten Realms, PoL or an other generic Western fantasy setting without devolving it into absolute faggotry?
>How can this be done in a setting like Mystra, the Forgotten Realms, PoL or an other generic Western fantasy setting without devolving it into absolute faggotry?
It can't. Or rather, it can, but it's never worth the effort and will always be turned into faggotry by furfags anyways.
Can't be done.
Make the Catfolk into nekomimi, Kitsune into fox-girls, and introduce a race of wolf-people.

How do your spend your adventurers time during their downtime /tg/?

Testing wenches for prowess. General wenching turns into tournies of sorts. So there will be a regional that pits champions from the villages we've passed through then nationals, internationals, dimensionals, interdimensionals, etc. the finale will be me taking on the champ. Whoever wins calls all the shots in the relationship. He also crochets cause thats a manly hobby gods damnit.

hey /tg/, i need to do a bit of a thought experiment to help me get ready to run a game. i need you to pick three magic cards the rules for the cards you pick must be as follows:
>CMC 3 or less
>all 3 cards must be a single color
>all 3 cards must be the same color
>all 3 cards must be from the same block, they cannot be from a block then a return to block
>nothing from alpha, beta unlimited or revised
thanks...

Just say you want us to build you a tiny leaders deck and be done with it.

Basking Rootwalla

How could this possibly be of use to you?

well, some people asked me to put together a game. they wanted the cards to be used in the game. i've kinda got something together to make the cards interact with the existing system. this thread is more or less to force me to figure out cards beyond those being used by my players.
AVE SENATORES!
It is the 21st October, 1757 IVC.
Attached to this report is a purported "ship class design" sent in by a student from one of our Scholastica Terrae. Suffice to say that our new fleet does not look anything like this, though I will admit to kind of wanting to build one just for what I believe are commonly referred to by the plebians as "risones et excreta".
In light of the Senate's discussions in the previous thread, I have implemented a 50/50 per cent strategy regarding Turret Tracking and Missile Agility technologies....

At present, we have an officer corps of 38. Of these, 27 are of the Centurion rank, 8 are Trierarchs, and we possess 2 Navarchs and a single Praefectus.
I can instruct the militarius to begin an internal search for properly-assigned applicants (a process known as "auto-assignment"). We should also give specific attention to how long we believe an officer's tour of duty should be; if we wish to ensure our officers receive proper rotation for training and rest purposes, we should set a tour of...

Might as well go for the meritocratic choice.Also, jesus OP what timezone are you posting from?
>>43851579
>Praefectus Publius Calpurnius Valgus
as he has earned this rank he shall put it to good use.
let him set up the Navy, if he screws up we can fix it and send him too work in the Moonmines. Wich reminds me, we have to set up Mines on the moon, how long does our geo-surveyfleet need to get there?
and how long till the nearest grav-anaomally for our grav-surveyers to check?
