This is quick question, I'll probably delete this thread after about 10 replies.
Can I make at least a $50 return or more from a booster box? I want to build a decent SOI collection for kitchen table but $100-110 seems too steep of an investment for that. My solution is to immediately offload whatever mythics or foils I pull since I don't plan on playing competitive standard and keeping the rest. I'm willing to "gamble" a bit since I have extra cash but only if I can make some kind of a decent return.
I've never bought a booster box, does any of this make sense? Are there any better ways to get a bunch of cards for a set or am I on the right track? Thanks in advanced.

How heretical
I've been running a long term D&D group that has been exceedingly great at RPing. Then a new player joined with a magical device that ruined everything. Anyway, after she joined the group has gone completely down hill in terms of RPing and has become completely centered around flattery towards the new player. Now, every member of the group that used to care about the story or plot just care about getting any sort of reaction from the girl.
Case in point, people are discussing what to do next and she suggests something completely stupid and completely off the...

tl;dr
The usual situation is that you're a passive-aggressive cunt who decided to be less passive and more aggressive and stuff like that. I'm about 100% it's a completely uninteresting situation and that you're a shit GM since you need to post about it on /tg/.

The sight and the environment of the metro have become a bit unnerving for you now.
Having basically spent most of your time awake in the asphyxiating underground system of this world probably equates spending a day in prison.
Except that the people in prison are probably a tad more agreeable.

It’s becoming so unbearable that you can hardly hear yourself think. The Priest is shrinking on his own seat, by now walking the narrow line between sanity and madness. You, on the other hand, have other plans.

Sup Author. When do we get the token love interest?
You are Sallazar, a young wizard who has recently left the army. You have taken a teaching job at Egwen Girls Convent.
In addition the Headmaster of the school wants you to run the schools adventurers club, to give some of the schools more unusual girls something fun to do.
It's a week after New Gods Solstice and the guests have all gone home, well, other than that girl Chame has befriended, Ami. The Headmaster has allowed her to stay temporarily to see what she makes of this place. The other girls have made her welcome but strangely Chame seems uncomfortable with her presence. You're unclear as to why that is.
Something to worry about later, for now you have a new dungeon to prepare for, and the Daves have sent you a whole new list of rules and points tables to wade through.
Seems that the people running the junior league want to try and make this as complicated as possible – rather than encouraging the young adventurers to just get in, get the job done and get out.
Wait how can you get 1 point for a draw but no points if the opposing team doesn't turn up to a challenge match?
Still, at least the 3 objectives bit makes sense, with the time taken used as a tie-breaker...
You pore over the new competition rules, trying to figure them out, as you do your mind wanders, thinking about the girls in the club, and how they've been doing.
Now that she has been through a dungeon, Lucinda is training hard, working on her rapier skills, and also helping organise some of the other girls. It's not long before she'll be forming her own team you think.
One of those she's been working with a lot is Tisania, and you often see them training together, as Lucinda encourages the much shyer girl. Under Lucinda's guidance Tisania is slowly becoming more confident.
Janrael is focusing on her sword-fighting techniques, with the help of Groundskeeper Answick. She's been trying to use her wings to help her deliver some pretty flashy moves; you'll just have to wait and see how effective those are in a real fight.
Safire is learning to fight, under the expert tutelage of Master Telgether. Initially she made little progress, but became really focused when Kittrane started training with her. Master Telgether asked Kittrane to schedule her general workout at the same time as he's been teaching Safire and now the little gem-girl...

Cleya is being a dedicated and sensible girl and studying things that are going to help her be very successful in the adventuring club and in life – namely wizardly magic. She's also become your unofficial assistant: she fetches you coffee, gets scrolls for you and even writes notes for your lesson plans as you muse about them out loud. It's good to see such a dedication to learning.
Evrumine is working out a lot and trying to match Kittrane and Syphoebeus in strength. She has a long way to go, but when she loses her temper she is something else. You wonder...

There's a drawn out silence. What? no one has any questions, you certainly have questions: like which bunch of drunken idiots wrote the rules so that a club might not qualify for the finals, but a team in that club still could.
Nataline is the first one to raise a hand “Ah, Professor, I might have misunderstood but it seems to me that these rules give an unfair advantage to the schools with larger clubs, after all a club can have multiple qualifying teams in the final rounds, so a large club stands a greater chance of winning the championship.”
You open...

I need a decent Plot for a Fallout Campaign. Im out of Ideas somehow. The PC should start as Vault dwellers.
>>46458254
A group of raiders some how breach the vault and lay siege to it and the PCs must drive them off. Afterwords they need to figure out how to fix it or build a new home for their fellow vaulters.
what do you/your players like about fallout specifically? give us something to go off of.
Okay so, they're in a vault.They get out of the vault. There's raiders and shit. And a town. The town is being attacked. They get key info on where to find the macguffin that'll "save the wasteland." The macguffin is behind a large winding path designed not for fun but to show off the world.But they can just go straight to the macguffin if they knew where it was. Then, when they get there, they have to make a choice. Save one not-well-established faction, but destroy another, or vice versa.
Boom, Fallout plot.
Sorcerers have magic in their bloodline, they can naturally shape the forces of magic almost at will. Druids attune themselves to the ancient forces of nature. Paladins and Clerics pray to their gods to grant them power. Warlocks make pacts with otherworldly beings for their abilities.
Wizards don't do any of that. They take the long way round and discover that, if you speak the right words with just the right pronunciation while making exactly the right gestures with precise amounts of specific items, you can get the universe to do things yourself. They have to...

Say for a moment that you're planning on running an orc-centric campaign, in the sense that all of the players are orcs, and the setting is basically the orcish homeworld. How would you go about building this world and populating it? Over the top brutality is a must but I'm drawing blanks beyond that.
Is the world stuck in the stone age? Have orcs or ogres or some other race achieved dieselpunk? All very important things to consider.
Help me, /tg/. And discuss orcs while we're at it.
>dieselpunk orcs
So, Fury Road?
>>46458523
By making everyone a brutal orc you're taking away the fun thing about playing a brutal orc: sticking out like a sore thumb among civilized settings and characters.
I don't see what the upside is from a normal setting or how you'd make it interesting if you can't even get started without the fa/tg/uy brigade.
>>46458523
Orcish homeworld? What're you talking about, Warcraft?
>dieselpunk
No.
Your name is Mary.
Rather, that's what humans and your brother call you. You think there's more to it, something fittingly violent for a being such as yourself, but you care little for humans except as playthings.
You are more concerned with the affairs of others like yourself, some call you demons, others spirits, it doesn't matter, the only names you normally have are your symbols, and each of you has some special talent and gift that is as much a part of you as your corporeal form.
Your talent is for Murder, and your gift is Your Dagger....

You returned to the bodies of your old friends… intent on burning them to keep them from ever returning home themselves… when you saw your cousin across the field.
Stepping out of the tree line, calm, collected… he was probably there since the start. You wanted to make the bastard suffer, and you were the best at what you do.
But as the world already knows… he cheats.
He doesn’t kill you immediately after cutting your hand off. First he cuts off your other hand, then your legs, then...

Your name is Lucy Cook.
In the back of your mind you can see and feel yourself standing up and wiping blood away from your mouth where you bit your tongue, starting to dig through the dirt and mumbling something you can’t quite catch.
You’re pretty sure you aren’t doing it though. You feel more immediately like you’re floating in some black void… with another girl… one who has to be Mary with her pure white features… staring blankly at you from 5 meters away. She has an ornate dagger in...

I know that a lot of thing about some species depends on the setting but I think that my questions are kinda general for everybody.
1.How are Elves immortal exactly ? Is it that they have something magical in them or is their biological system really special
2. How the hell dont elves overpopulate any setting they are in since they are immortal and reproduce sexually ? is it because they only have x time of being fertile or is something else ?
3. Why dont elves get bored after living for so long ?
1. slow metabolism
2. see 1
3. they do
>>46457579
1: Usually semi-magical.
2: Low birthrates.
3: Because their minds don't work like ours.

>11th of August, 1095
As you roll over in your bed, you find yourself missing Francesca’s presence. Even though it’d only been half a day, having her around eased your mind a lot more. You sighed, sitting up in your bed. You’ve woken up numerous times in the middle of the night. Each and every time, the same nightmare caused it. Otto’s last sounds, and the sight of his lifeblood streaming out of his mutilated throat. You shivered, trying to shake the thoughts away.
As you got up and got dressed, you heard the door closing. Edward left for the church. You guess that it must be around nine o’clock now. Slowly and quietly, you move over to the living room, grabbing whatever food you could find before sitting down at the table. You tried to eat. You really did. But you just didn’t have any appetite. Something was wrong, and knowing that upset you quite a bit.
You just decided to get on with your day. There wasn’t much to be done, as William and Michèl wouldn’t be back until tomorrow, or if the winds were unfavourable, the day after. You had to ask Francesca’s father if he’d let you marry her, too.

Where the fuck did that come from?
Will topter sword be a viable deck?
So I don't play Magic, but this whole banning/unbanning thing... is it just a way to patch broken rules?
What do you use in your games /tg/?
I want to run a superpowers based campaign where the players progress from street level to somewhere between city and country busters over the course of it.
I've heard good things about Mutants and Masterminds, and had bad experiences with Big Eyes Small Mouth, albeit either can be written off as bias or misfortune.
