How do you deal with the eldrazi menace?
Does the eldrazi menace make a deck like Canadian Threshold tier 1?
Could you run 4x Eye of ugin in 12 post with some significant adjustments to play the most ludicrous mana deck ever?
but everyone in the last thread was saying the only reason Eldrazi was placing in Legacy was the legacy players were caught off-guard. "Let the meta adjust." So is Eldrazi a menace in Legacy after all?
>>45853965
Well,in that case, how do you adjust to it? Play Threshold/DnT?

I do what I always do, friend.
I play Pox.
You have a job, /tg/
The startup game company you are working for is looking to publish a new TCG. The mechanics are fully developed and playtested and they work like a dream. It plays like the kind of game you wish Magic: the Gathering could be.
The problem is that there is no way the game can break into a market dominated by established brands like Magic and Hearthstone...
...Unless, they buy the license to publish the game under some existing brand.
That's where you come in.
It is your job to select some existing media, be it a movie, book,...

I am really really sure the one on the left is a girl.

What is the enchantment?

Unless I asked for it it better be a bitching enchantment or be full of money.
>One of the enemies is a guy than can absorb metals through his pores and regrow said metals as a carapace or second skin around himself.
How do you counter this in a sword and shield setting without any magic?
>>45849688
Make him absorb aluminum.
Boom, done.
>>45849688
Set a deep pit-trap for him.
The fall should kill him, especially with all that extra weight.
If it doesn't because of generic "toughness", just pour water in until he drowns - no way he can swim. Or if he doesn't need to breathe, pour in pitch and lamp oil, then toss down a torch.
>>45849688
hit him with stones and wood? Easy
How the hell do you convert AD&D characters to pathfinder? All the players in my group are adamant they want to switch over to 3.5 and I don't know how to convert the characters over. I'm having trouble with:

Convert the players in your group to dead ones instead.

>>45849280
No. The donated books we have are for 3.5 and not pathfinder. "Donated" meaning my friend got them at a yard sale for $3 each which includes one copy of the player's manual, the dungeon master's guide, and the monster manual.
So, /tg/, I am under some existencial crisis.
I like trading card games. Or at least, I like playing them. But trading card games are far more than just playing decks. Here are my issues.
>Metagame changes. Most TCGs imply you must adapt to metagames, and the sole fact a set gets released makes the meta change and you immediately gotta change your deck or buy those few cards you need. I can't adapt to this easily.
>Testing. I always test test test and when I actually play the deck I feel uncomfortable playing it or the deck is straight subpar because I cannot invest enough for a good deck.
>Playing. Sometimes I just play in automatic mode. This is, I don't really think many things, misplay a LOT, and may miss even the most obvious of moves.
I recently moved to this city, and there are two TCG stores. I would love playing something to meet people (I have no friends here), but TCGs, even when they're the obvious move, are damn difficult for me.
What do I do? I feel enormously conflicted now.
>>45849194
Get a job so you can afford good cards and adopting to the changing meta.
Don't worry about the third point, most top-tier decks are autopilot anyway.
>>45849194
Play Limited formats where you sit down, open packs and build the deck. MtG expansions are designed with Limited and Standard primarily in mind these days (allegedly), and most fundamental precepts and skills you hold in Limited are usually transferrable between expansions. Your deck is always new so you don't have the time to goldfish and wonder during play if you played as well as you goldfished.
>>45849194
Play a living card game like Android: Netrunner instead.
You buy complete sets of cards for a small cost, there is no real secondary market. The complete base game is $35 MSRP, but $25 through most retailers.
here's an explaination of android netrunner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAslVfZ9p-Y
>One World. In this model, there are no other planes of existence, but the Material Plane includes places like the bottomless Abyss, the shining Mount Celestia, the strange city of Mechanus, the fortress of Acheron, and so on. All the planes are locations in the world, reachable by ordinary means of travel - though extraordinary effort is required, for example, to sail across the sea to the blessed isles of Elysium.
You have 10 seconds to explain why this isn't the single best D&D setting ever written. It's from the 5e DMG.

Because owning a personal demi-plane is the shit.
>>45847713
Extra planes and demiplanes basically destroy immersion and setting integrity.
>>45847936
No they don't.
Was I just an asshole GM?
First-time GM here, running a setting where spellcasters learn magic abilities by collecting them from powerful places in the world. Magic is raw and chaotic, so it's not always clear what it does at a glance.
So the party's spellcaster spent some time investigating rumours about power places, and came up with a few leads, including one "spell" that could supposedly grant immortality. However, the people who tipped him off about that place also mentioned that no-one who ever went there came back. He assumed that the...

Saying the power didn't do what he thought it would is a pretty clear warning. The guy was powergaming, he wanted immortality so bad he ignored the warning that the magic wasn't going to do what he thought, and then got mad when the magic didn't do what he thought.
In short, he needs to learn how to understand words and not powergame so hard.
>>45845165
No, you did perfectly fine, the player was just the one who ignored the world's magic lore warning, the slab warning, and the people who gave him the rumors warning
>>45845165
Yes and no. This kind of half on him for going through with it anyway. I mean, there was a literal 'do not fuck with this hella fucky magic shit' message written right on the rock itself. It's not like no one told him.
One thing I would've done is affirmed one last time OOC that they wanted to go through with it.
The biggest mistake I see here is that you gave a plot hook with a thread that apparently never went anywhere. It just existed to lead them to a pitfall, which is something...

No summary judgment! Explain in detail. You may state preference, but you must first explain the differences.
Here's what the Good Friends of Jackson Elias (one of whom apparently worked on 7e) had to say.

The Primary Characteristics are now 1-100 like everything else.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
The REPUBLIC is at an end. The EMPIRE rules the galaxy. The wicked Emperor and his sinister apprentice Darth Vader seek to hunt down and destroy the last of the JEDI - former guardians of peace and justice, now enemies of the state.
Everywhere in the galaxy, star systems are crushed under the iron fist of the Empire. Warships hang like vultures above every planet and armored boots trample on the freedoms of every citizen. Yet despite his best efforts, the Emperor cannot control nature itself.
On a backwater world,...
