Why are there so many gamers out there who are against even the slightest amount of optimization? Ironically by being so against optimization they're setting their players up for cookie cutter stats and just stupidly weak and boring characters. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing with playing a weak character or low powered setting, but some of these nerds take it to the next level of retarded.
Examples would help, I've never really run into this.
>>47872977
I've met DM's and players who are against something as simple as a rogue optimized for backstabbing. You know. Taking thug, rogue, that one class from the book of weeaboo magic, and some others to really crank it up. Which story wise could still work. They just get a wild hair up their ass for no reason, which is funny considering a core wizard could destroy them by mid level.
This isn't a thing that has ever happened to anyone, OP.
Good morning boys and girls, welcome back to AAJ! Sorry for no thread over the weekend- I was unfortunately away from my computer all weekend, but now we're back!
Player A activates ability one of Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, putting him at 5 devotion, then moves to combat, and attacks with Gideon. Player B blocks with a 2/1 and a 3/2.
Before damage is dealt, Player B casts Skullcrack.
What is the final board state post combat?
>>47871738
Well, damage can't be prevented this turn, so Gideon takes 5 damage. This will mark 5 damage on him since he's a Creature, and remove 5 loyalty from him since he's a Planeswalker. He won't be destroyed from lethal damage, because Indestructible, but he will be put into the graveyard as a state-based action for having 0 loyalty.
So, end board state is that Gideon, the 2/1, and the 3/2 are all dead.
So, are there any other tabletop games out here that literally require judges to explain the many many many rulings?

Discuss Infernals in 3e!
By what the devs have said, Infernals and Dragonblooded apparently will have very similar charmset layouts: ability based, with each individual charm having its own Yozi or elemental association respectively...

Jumpers are there any jumps that you feel should have had a soundtrack perk, but unfortunately did not? I can not help but feel a great sadness that there is no soundtrack option in the FFXIV, Star Wars, and LoZ jumps.
>>47890855
Too many to count sadley.
>>47890855
Just get the soundtrack perk from Aquaria.

Yup. Apparently Wizards only gave this guy the backside for some reason. Transform land I'm guessing?

the symbol in the upper left looks different from transform.
Might be a variant DFC mechanic. Not sure how that would work though.

>>Information
This quest, as the title suggests, takes place in the world of Dragon Ball. You're playing as a thirteen year old boy named Tofoo, and will adventure through the story of the Dragonball series alongside characters such as Goku, Yamcha, Bulma, Tien, and many others. Through your actions, you can make significant changes to the story, and perhaps even become the strongest fighter on Earth.
>Rules
At the end of each update you'll have ten minutes to vote on options. Write-ins are allowed, but I do reserve the right to veto them.
In the event of a draw, the option to receive the next vote wins
Rolls will be used on certain occasions, such as attempting a technique for the first time or attempting something extremely difficult. You will have three rolls, and if one succeeds, you succeed. There are no crits.
Rolls are made AFTER an option wins, not during the voting process
I hope everyone has fun.

Welcome to the MTG flake/lore thread!
Previously:
New Joke Sheet (added to the repo). WotC has no idea what they're doing with the story. A new flake, some flake drawings, and shitposting happened. Some flake story is in the works with the Cathar, Serena, and Spider Mom. Happy fahter's daySorin.
Previous thread: >>47802816
Writefagging last time:
Serena and the Cathar have a misunderstanding: >>47840853
REMINDER:
If you want ANYTHING to go in the repo, just summon me. Otherwise I will only put writefagging and sheets in the repo.
Also, I added the blank template to the ALL FLAKESHEETS folder.
To summon me simply say
>OP OP, I SUMMON THEE. PLACE THIS FILE IN THE REPOSITORY.
And I will come. Unless that's too gay. I update the repo on a bi-threadly basis anyway.

Now accepting collections for Serena's therapy bills. They're gonna be a doozy after today.
So who else really got their hopes up with the initial battle, but then got really disappointed really fast when it went full fantasy combat?
Now if you were the GM of the GoT campaign, how would you have resolved it instead. It worked great up to the piles and the wall. What could replace that phase?
I'd have had the entire group, on both sides, just shit themselves uncontrollably for the entire rest of the episode.
Like, people would be actually drowning in shit.

As opposed to drowning in zombies like everyone'll be in E10 when the Night's King goes waltzing through that battlefield.
