Literally every BE deck that has topped runs both the primite cards AND the crimson dragon package. However, if he's not running the primite cards (i assume he's using 2-3 neo kaiser and bingo machine?), and he's also NOT running the crimson dragon package, then what is the payoff of the deck? Just double spirit (that tags out into ultimate spirit and moonlight/lightstorm) or spirit + seals? Brick-eyes gets raped by nibiru either way, might as well go for the giga board that crimson dragon facilitates.

A budget list (no primite) always wants the crimson dragon engine, because its most minimal endboard is bad compared to a primite one, drillbeam does make all the difference. I'm genuinely not sure what exactly is stopping him from running it, because all the cards got reprinted this year, meaning they're cheap. Sifr is the most expensive and it costs about 3 burgers.

I haven't bought sealed product in like a decade, its not functional for draft, not functional for new players and largely wasteful.
So tell me why this game hasnt adopted the LCG model yet? It would be better for competition, sets would retain more value longer and there wouldnt be nearly ss much cardboard clutter.

Well gee shitlock, it's a mystery to everyone. Maybe they just hate money?
Do yourself a favor and think about the things you write before you post them.

>Halflings to do the farming
>Dwarves to do the smithing and mining
>Gnomes to do the researching
>Elves to do magic
>Humans to do the fighting (and thus, the ruling)
This seems the obvious perfect order to things. Humans don't want to be the peasant farmers, we want to be the knights and lords, but somebody has to farm, somebody has to smith, etc. Why not have the other races do the menial peasant stuff that they specialize in anyways?

'Cause I like exploring & writing (mostly) homogenous fantasy communities because it's neat to see & think about how other fantasy species might do things in a vacuum outside of their more obvious tropes.
What are Halfling blacksmiths like? What do Elves have as a farmer equivalent? How does Dwarven Court Magician culture differ? What do Human minorities do in other non-Human majority communities? How does an all Gnome society function? Shit like that tickles my brain. I'm fond of a good, "diasporic community of Halflings/Dwarves inside a larger Human community", but I wanna see what's going on in the home country too.

Again, there's no need to "check". It's the first thing you see. Using your own analogiew it's like hating hitler before you knew he was a fascist, or being mad at arby's before you even realized they closed down your local shop to be replaced with it.

On the spectrum of rubber forehead aliens to complete starfish aliens that are made out of silica and breathe methane, where are YOU specificially comfortable with. Does there come a point where an alien becomes too weird for you to "relate" to in order to include them in your games as playable races?

Personally I am fond of aliens that look plausibly like they could have evolved in a different world and have no distinguishable lineage to earth life, even if they share some superficial features.

Presumably the exact age would be cultural, like it is with humans (there really isn't any specific biological reason why it's not OK to have sex with a 17 years old but it is OK with an 18 years old, 18 just happens to be the number we've decided on as being old enough to have the necessary mental and physical development to definitely count as an adult). Probably whatever age they reach sexual maturity plus a year or two to make sure.

>>97251832
I'm so sick of this "muh 4 limbs is most optimal" line of argument. Our number of limbs has NOTHING to do with some sort of biological optimum. Our number of limbs stems from our evolutionary history from how our bodies develop during the embryonic stage. If there was some sort of evolutionary pressure towards small limb counts we wouldn't see arthropods with limbs numbering from 6 all the way to over a thousand depending on the clade and the species.

The reason landbound vertabrates have 4 lims is because we evolved from a 4 limbed ancestors, and the way our bodies develop makes it very, very hard for extra limbs to be cleanly added to our form. That is because the bodysegments/tagma in chordates are heavily fused, including our limb producing segments, thus essentially in order to produce new limbs you'd need a series of mutations that solely duplicate the parts of the genome responsible for limb development, in a way that these extra limbs still cleanly connect and join the rest of the bodyplan.

In comparison, something like a centipede, whose bodyplan retains entirely unfused limb producing bodysegments, can just replicate those segments as they grow in size without any issues, as if they were just adding identical beads to a rosary string. Whereas for vertabrates, if we use similar comparison, the parts of our bodies from which our limbs grow out out, are all tangled up in the same body segments that also develop our internal organs and shit. Essentially, our torsos are a product of multiple bodysegments fusing together in our early evolutioary history, leading to the 4 limb configuration.
Same process is why insects have just 6 limbs, or why spiders have only 8 limbs and so on. Once body segment fusion happens it is very hard for evolution to untangle it.

They are all consistent with what can be done by who, how they can be done when and where, and why.

Anon, I'm going to assume that you don't actually play these games, because if you did, you'd know that mechanically defined activities such as combat and more freeform roleplaying happen alongside each other in them. They're games. They've got mechanics. They also include non-mechanical things, such as in-character discussions. These things coexist comfortably, and they're parts of the same whole.

Its pretty interesting actually. When I first heard about the story, my initial reaction was "Oh wow, tunnels in New York, next you're gonna tell me someone found freeways in Los Angeles."

But turns out this location has been embroiled in a legal dispute between two different Orthodox sects for decades now. The synagogue itself is the HQ of the Chabad movement, and apparently some students -who claim their particular sect rightfully owns the synagogue- straight up tunneled under the building in an attempt to occupy it. Which is pretty wild.

Then the media saw the words "Orthodox Jewish Secret Tunnel" and just started freestyling.

Why were so many of the "OG" game designers insufferable faggots? It seems like the vast majority of game designers from the 70s and 80s were self-obsessed dickheads who openly hated and looked down on their customer base. There were obviously exceptions, and some like Gygax would go on to regret and apologize for it, but still, what made so many "professionals" back then such fags?

I have wanted to play RPGs for years and posted on /tg/ for like a decade, but have never found someone to play with. Finally my kids are old enough to play with me, but the problem is, I don't know HOW to play. Like, what is a game supposed to even look like?
All the rulebooks I've read go over in depth the character creation and mechanics, etc. but none really paint a picture of the structure and flow of the game and what it is supposed to look like.

Where do I start??
