>>98226465You'll learn the ropes with it.Bushwack is versatile, you can throw your deathtouch units at opponents threads. If you pack Bite Down style spells your units will survive. Just don't go dumping rare and mythics wildcards into this deck, it's not worth it in the long run. Elves are subpar even when played with the best possible cards available.You can add Unholy Annex, it's staple of all black based decks. A few changelings will fit as well. Firdoch Core is played a lot with Annex lately. All changelings benefit from elves synergies and count for Annexe's demon requirement as well. Then you can slowly transform your deck into a top green/black or mono black deck. Or you add Badgers and go into a kind of green landfall.Check for decks around Serpet Society when Marvel drops. It may give Poison Counters decks a life. Virulent Silencer is already available, so maybe something opens on that front. Thought, with everyone packing board removal and various non target removal spell, it'll be a long shot.
>>98226465What is your favorite of the standard dual color decks so far?
>>98226839I like the Red/Blue one the most :)inb4 "you're a faggot nigger"
>>98226927The only faggot niggers are the ones playing the braindead White/Black vampire deck, you're alright.

What are some things you include in your setting which shouldn't make sense for the time period, but you included because you liked them anyway?I'll start: My world is a renaissance area fantasy, teetering on kitchen sink but I try to keep it grounded. Anyway, among the strange things it has:>Fried Foods; fried chicken, mozzarella sticks, fish and chips, similar such things. Invented in the equivalent of the Caribbean by pirates and slaves.>Watches and Clocks: Although there's no electricity-powered quartz watches like we have today, there are watches that are either wound up (and count down the day afterwards) or animated by low-tier magic.>Hair Dye/Cosmetics/Makeup: Probably the least bad, but it's relatively easy for the nobility to get their hands on a wide variety of cosmetic products similar to what you'd find today, including things like body hair remover (such as Nair) and lipstick.
>>98226817Every time I've ever played or ran a D&D game it's taken place in a generic nondescript setting where only the immediate surroundings are detailed. So if someone says "I'm from the land of Blank" I guess Blank exists now. I mostly do one shots and short games in D&D, all my long campaigns are other systems. I did run a 5e playtest game back in the day that was a custom system I actually fleshed out for a hexcrawl. It lasted twelve sessions then died.
>>98226831custom setting*
>>98226374>If your setting is made-up, it is flat-out impossible for it to be anachronisticAccidentally? Sure. But you can still have intentional anachronisms if your setting has time travel. That might be one of the key indicators to an outside party that time travel has even occurred. That said, including time travel in games is almost always a recipe for disaster.
>>98226360Given that my settings aren't even our universe and are a part of works of fantasy, there isn't anything anachronistic in them.As far as making sense goes, well, I guess that all depends on perspective; I do my best to make everything fit together in an internally consistent way, but I've had people come at me for things like not having poop in my settings.
>>98226872Women don't have periods in mine.Do you mean people just don't poop, period, or like any reasonable rational person you don't bother going into detail of the scenes where people would?

>>98222272>businessHe's not a businessman, he's a business, man
>>98222272I wouldn't play with him, human fighter or half-troll-tri-kreen wizard/rogue. I need the person to AT LEAST know the difference between a background and a motive.But as a motive, that's fine.
>>98226448I expect players to do things that are a bit more involving then "I attack" every turn
>>98222724I agree with what you say but guilds aren't really unions. They're more like cartels. The "businesses band together to artificially inflate prices," ones, not the drug dealing ones.

Has anyone run convergence without Mi-Go and just used the Greys? I'm not sure I like the whole "Greys are Mi-Go constructs" yet.>>98225069Is this the Eskimo Dagoth cult one? I vaguely remember reading about it in the Handler's guide. I imagine they'll publish a module for it eventually, I feel like we've gotten a lot of Mi-go stuff an not a lot of deep ones.
What does the delta green HQ look like anyways?
>>98226505Changes location every 2-3 years to maintain opsec. I would imagine with that much turnover it would have to consist of renting out cheap, discreet, office space. Boring cubicles etc. Easy mundane cover as an accounting firm or similar. More money and resources are probably spent on holding facilities than HQ, which has relatively low demands in terms of infrastructure. They held deep ones in a compound in AZ for decades, now that place was probably kitted out.

>>98181409It's a lot of fun if you play it as a parody and lean into what it is.It is a game where you have to have smart players tho, or a lot of practice
>>98214874>Companion were published in 1983Companion was not published in 1983, its publication and its first printing were 1984.BECMI is not from 1986, neither is it from 1983. It is not one single thing. It is a set of books in five boxes released from 1983 to 1986, just like BX isn't from 1980, it's from 1980 and 1981 because it's two things not one thing.Original printing Mentzer Basic and Expert books used surprise rolls, saves, thief skills etc from the Moldvay and Cook books. Mentzer books were little other than a reformatting until some sections were re-worked for the detailed level expansion that was promised by but missing from the Moldvay and Cook series.The first published AD&D book was 1977 but no one outside of maybe Gygax and his friends was playing AD&D for a year and a half after the end of that year because all that came out in December 1977 was the Monster Manual. The PHB is from June 1978 and the DMG took until August 1979.>>98214151D&D's first set print date was near the end of January 1974 which means the first decade of D&D spans 11 calendar years. Companion set was April so it still can't be first decade.

Would female adventurers have the same attraction to monsters as IRL modern women? Why or why not?
>>98206396...no? It was a fantasy of mine for years to watch my ex-wife fuck other men, and when she finally did it was hotter than I could have imagined. Fantasies are goals meant to be attained.

>>98184019how would duolingo help you improve at chess? tf?
>>98223019In the photograph the pieces are set up on the wrong ends so white is on the 8th rank and black is on the 1st (going by the notation on the board).
for people who play irl, how do tournaments work at your local club? mine has mostly veteran players so it's depressing to compete, i'm lucky if i get 2/8. and for little kids it's even worse, i spoke with a parent the other day and he told me his kid just wants to play basketball instead on weekends for the same reason. i guess they don't have enough players overall to divide people by age or level but idk, this can't be sustainable

CSRM6+Artemis or CSSRM6?
>>98226876Depends. CSRM6+ArtIV is lighter than a CSSRM6 by half a ton but that extra range on the streak can be handy at times.
>>98226175VK-B1 WardenSkirmisher65tNimble Jumper, Cramped Cockpit, Exposed Weapon Linkage (LRM10), Improved Cooling Jacket (Large Laser)1,3205,222,773 C-BillsGood afternoon, honored hosts. I am Elise Sorenson, representing Sorenson Industrial on Halesowen. It is my pleasure to present to you our Warden VK-B1, a refinement of our Vaktare ConstructionMech suitable for combat.With its weight of 65 tons and maximum speed of 65 kilometers per hour, you will no doubt compare the Warden to the Thunderbolt. Much like that venerable and proven design, our proposal features a Long Range Missile launcher and high-output laser as its main weapons. The launcher is mounted on an articulated bracket over the left shoulder, while the primary laser carried over its right directly integrates a Heat Sink into its design. To support these in close quarters, a Short Range Missile pack is mounted into each forearm. The left arm also integrates into this module a standard laser as a reserve weapon, mirroring an anti-infantry model in the right. A total of 17 heat sinks allow the Warden to fire its long range weapons while moving at full speed without any heat buildup, or with minimal heat gain after utilizing its three highly controllable Jump Jets. After closing in under the launcher's range, the SRM packs can replace the LRM pod without any change in heat generation. Supplying this arsenal is a two ton bay of LRMs and one ton of SRMs, which may be replaced with Inferno ammunition at no loss in reliability. 12 and a half tons of armor allow the Warden to withstand a direct hit from a high-calibre Autocannon from the front to any limb or part of its torso. The compact size of its cockpit also reduces its profile by 12% compared to other BattleMechs of its weight class, reducing the risk of pilot loss removing it from the battle. I have had the chance to operate our working prototype myself, and believe it to be a worthy companion to the Dragons many of our lances operate.

>>98226168I didn't come up with the name for it. Once I tried to do so, it turned out there are no pages that could serve as Thalassian lexicons which would help me name the town. And for population I was thinking about something around 3000.
>>98225602>
>>98226410That's what I'd assumed at first, but thats barely a town. I'd figured around 5-8k what with the status of economics, administration, town guards, supporting trade routes, industry, and general army size.
