Some may call me a hippy but I'm kind of against supporting large corporations. The only place to buy magic cards around where I live is Target. My buddies have been playing a long time and are hard core collectors. They think I should just suck it up and get my cards from Target.
I met a gamer on craigslist who is interested in selling me his unwanted cards in the form of boosters. (He puts together stacks of 10 commons, 3 uncommons, and a rare of cards he doesn't want). He has complete control over what I get. I agreed to buy exclusively from him instead of...

Sorry, Anon, but there's not a good answer.
If you're not worried about the quality of the cards, the best price he should ask would be at or slightly below market price for new boosters. So probably about $4 (I haven't bought packs in some time). Do you know what kinds of cards he's putting into the packs? One thing you could do is to ask him to tell you what cards he's got and look up the value of those cards yourself, then offer a price based on those numbers. I'd be careful, though; if he's willing to sell you repacks but not willing to sell you the cards individually (or as singletons with assorted junk thrown in), he's probably not the most trustworthy person.
Do you have a collection already? What sort of cards are you looking for? What formats do you play (and yes, kitchen-table counts)? Those all impact what you should do here.

I play commander, exclusively. In my CL ad, I came up with the idea of letting him make boosters for me with his shit cards. I figured, if he doesn't want the cards and can make me pay, that's win win. Also, we have to meet up and it has to be worth his time which if I buy multiple packs it should be. However, I'm agreeing not to buy from target meaning all my cards come from him so I think that at least paying him for a regular booster price would be good.
Also, I want him to sell to me long...

You'd be better off just buying his unwanted cards in bulk. I believe when I unloaded my bulk to my LGS they gave me something like 1 cent per common, 2 cents per uncommon, probably less. If you're buying random from this guy you're wasting your money paying MSRP for hand picked "boosters", seems incredibly likely he's gonna scam you.
I need your help /tg/. I need rpg maps (with a grid) of modern city streets (preferably without cars but I'm not that picky) for an upcoming Superhero RPG I'm running on Roll20. Google has failed me horrifically, so I turn to you. Post what you have, or links to some decent ones. In exchange, I will post what google has given me, and links to some good fantasy sources.
>>43762372
Also, the grid is optional, but I need the style like the original, and not like a blue and red line street map.
Here's a favored source for fantasy stuff ( and a tiny bit of sci-fi). I also use their map making tools pretty extensively.

How would you do Americana fantasy?
The closest I can think of is maybe Dogs in the Vineyard, which presents a really interesting world, at least in terms of making the Dogs feel fantastical. I don't really remember if Deseret itself gets the same treatment, though.
What would you say are the unique aspects of America that would need to be brought over for a uniquely American setting? What monsters would go well in such a setting? Magic?
>>43762219
Guns, fat people, and blatant racism
>>43762219
Bioshock Infinity on ground for settings. For monsters, maybe some of British folklore combined with native Americans legends?
>>43762252
Now you aren't even trying.
>>43762339
Nah, native American legends more than fills up everything and it makes the perfect offset to the 'American' side.
>'Americans'
They have the new ways for everything. Magic, gods, worship, society, it is all organized, orderly, and at times rather cold. Gods are worshipped in churches and monasteries, magic is mass produced onto tools and weapons(if you want...

You are Siris Erickson, and you are a mutant. This is hardly surprising, considering both of your parents are mutants, and you grew up surrounded by mutants. Despite being somewhat of a late bloomer with your powers, the leaders of the Xavier Institute saw incredible potential in you and your abilities. With the ability to control the wavelength and frequency of light, as well as emit light from your body, you could theoretically do incredible things, although that is currently limited to a limited control over the light in the surrounding area and the ability to concentrate...

You’re still thinking about what you saw between Rahne and Josh when class finishes. You know there’s another team exercise today, so you meet up with the rest of the team. It doesn’t take too much time for Rahne to show up after that, but she’s doing her best to avoid looking directly at you. “Alright, team. Today you’re going to be going up against another team, alright? This isn’t a simulation, so be careful.” Just as she’s about to continue, you hear another voice from outside the classroom,...

You are John James Green, mutant vagrant.
You never knew organized crime could be so incredibly boring.
Several hours’ worth of reading lies strewn across the table before you, there having ceased to be any kind of filing system at play quite some time ago. At some point or another – somewhere in between the fourth and fifth mug of coffee – the names started to blur into one another, turning to soup in your brain. Wang this, Poitr that – it doesn’t help that half these people seem to share the same goddamn surname.
Somehow, you thought figuring this out would be easy. Easier than this, anyhow.
“So… this Zhang Lei guy?” Nico looks about as sick of this as you are. She slumps back against the opposite sofa like a stormcloud that fell backwards through a Hot Topic. “We think it’s him?”
You nod.
According to the information you’ve been sorting through, Zhang – pictured, in a very blurry photo, as a tall, rake-thin man with shaggy, dark hair and deeply set eyes – is one of Mr. Negative’s right hand men, involved in taking care of his personal acquisitions. He seems likely thief.
“Seems logical.”
You’ve set aside a prime suspect within the Bratva, too – a shadowy figure going only by ‘Tsar Bomba’.
“Who do we check out first?” Says Nico, thumbing absently through the latter criminal’s file.

fug im awake for the start for once
For the last two years I've been working on and off on a traditional RPG and then I stopped for about 3 months due to real life and now the drive just isn't there. Has anything like this ever happened to you / what should I do with all of my assets.
Tried. I ran out of steam quick once I got past the initial burst of creativity that comes with a new idea. Plus I'm not very good with math, so that's a big ass hurdle to overcome if I want to take a crack at it again.
Yes.
If you've lost drive, nothing to lose by posting it all here for anonymous neckbeards to tear apart. You might have some stuff I think is cool, I've been working on a homebrew for about a year and it went from being a subsystem to tack on to date core sci-fi combat to a classess retroclone try hard.

Shit, forgot to title this one. It's Generically-titled Fire Emblem Quest Gen. 2 # 11.
Marrius, eponymous leader of the Marrius' Group mercenaries, heads Southwest alone, seeking an audience with one of the duchesses of Noba.
The rest of his company, followed by their clients, travels back East through the desert to Elza Oasis, having finished their job but left unable to warp home safely due to a need to recover. It is here that overall protagonist Lloyd, his lover Leigh, and the respected second in command of Marrius' Group, the witch Irene, are.
While Marrius' actions right now have no bearing over the actions of our usual heroes,...
