YGO matches have zero decision making in them.
They are the TCG equivalent of Snakes and Ladders.

Oh boy it's ECL draft test time!

Many games devolve into recursion loops.
Slumbering Walker, Gravesifter, Emptiness, Reaping Willow, Dawn-Blessed Pennant, Morcant's Loyalist, Dundoolin Weaver, Slumbering Walker, Meanders Guide, Grub, Storied Matriarch all do it. This isn't including all the noncreature cards that also do. And many of these recur each other, leading to a fuckton of board stall recursion loops. It's shit.

Blight appears to be completely useless and the only times I saw it was as a cost. All the useful -1/-1 counter spells are shit like Reaper King that don't even use Blight lmao.
On that note, none of the mechanics feel like they're doing anything, and when they do do something it's rarely impactful. Feels like a set full of usefless, generic fluff.

I don't like the format at all.

>>97347548
More to the point, in order to allow for Blight to be a cost without muh feel bads, they appear to have just fucking bloated the everloving shit out of everything's toughness. This also leads to pretty shit boards where 3/7s are staring at 2/4s with fuck all to do.
Then all the shit you want to do makes you Blight to do it, so you're stuck there like an idiot, unable to do anything because it would shrink your bodies to lethal combat range.

Yeah, no. Not a fan of this format at all.

How good (quality wise) are sculpts for new Marut, Wrecker and Longwang? I assume they are all Siocast, which makes me a bit worried.

>>97347578
I know for sure the Longwang is unicool. Not sure about the Wrecker, while the Marut is siocast.
In general unicool sculpts are perfect; siocast can be a bit hit-and-miss, but I've never really heard about any complaints for those two.

I never don't as long as the player give me stuff that's halfway usable. Two of my games it's been opt-in, the other two I worked with the players to fit their characters into the adventure or build the world around the PCs.

>>97344587
>why would anyone without a tragic backstory, greedy personality, or simple neglect would ever want to become adventurer?
Some of characters at my table were
>A second son of a warlord who just didn't care for war and conquest and fucked off to travel because of wanderlust
>A student of some ninja order who was such an asshole he got kicked out to travel the world, get humbled and come back when he's ready to actually learn
>An apprentice mage who was raised by an archmage and wants to both raise money and get some worldly experience so he can later open a school
>A cleric girl who wanted to explore and document the world and it's dangers and wonders and then make it all into a series of encyclopedias as a cure to people's general ignorance
>A 'it belongs in a museum' type of rogue
I could go on. None of these are really tragic, truly edgy or very greedy in my opinion. Are they weird? Eh, maybe. But an adventurer is weird by definition, he's not a normal person who would be satisfied with normal day job.

Have you ever met any males between the ages of 14 and 26? Those fucktards will do anything. And once they get into something that even slightly approaches "brotherhood" they're in it for fucking life.

History and current year observation makes me say:
Also consider people joining the military.
Also consider people joining gangs.
Also consider people going into combat sports professionally.
Also consider missionaries.
Also consider explorers.
Also consider mountain climbers
Also consider motorcycle/sailboat/hot air balloon around the world fuckers

Some people are just drawn to going out there and doing god knows what. Sure, the average person is just gonna serf it out or vibe on noble status (until called to arms)... That's why there aren't 50 other adventuring parties in the inn where the campaign starts.
It's also worth mentioning that the level of danger one is used to influences how much danger they are willing to accept. In a world where goblin raids, curses, rampant banditry and dragon attacks are common you can expect those subjected to these things to have hardened to them even if there isn't a direct correlation to their personal lives.

One of my friends had a character die in like the third session doing some hero shit. He was cool with rolling up a new one and decided to play someone from the village they were in who has become the squire to another friends character, and even wanted to start at level 1 when we were doing level 3 starts. It's been a few sessions in now and thanks to a little solo adventure he's only 1 level behind the party but said he wanted it that way to keep the "dumb shit from a village who became a squire " feeling. Only time I've ever played with an unequal party level and it's worked out pretty great so far

There's no problem about complaining about such things in ameta thread, and taking things up to the mods, who are the ones who could actually help your case.
The problem is the rampant harassment and shitposting in every single thread, that's what pisses people off.
First there's the arbitrary ideas of what is relevant, perfectly on topic threads are still attacked, so the internal rulings of such posters' minds are not consistent, this makes their opinion less worthy of being considered.
Then there's the accusation that such threads are made by...someone, sometimes the mods themselves, sometimes some other boogeyman, to generate traffic. Ok, could even make sense, could even be seen as a problem by some I guess, but then the answer is to...engage in such threads repeatedly to generate more traffic? What's the plan here?
We move to the next problem, the general abrasiveness towards pretty much everyone. Basically every single poster that is not bitching at the concept of the thread existing is accused of being in on the mysterious conspiracy, even the ones that are just minding their own business and discussing something. That's not winning any friends.
And we have the fact that said posters are not practicing what they preach, because for all their obsession about games being discussed, they often (always) fail to do so, or point at threads and posts that are good to show a frame of reference.

Is it really a surprise that such posters are seen as a nuisance at best? They complain about a problem they perceive, but they do nothing to solve it, and actually end up creating another problem that makes the situation worse, not better. This on topic thread was created, they didn't like it, someone assblasted created a bunch of others. Were they the same guys complaining, acting passive aggressive? How does that help? Was it someone else that saw them react like that and wanted to piss them off? If they didn't chimp out it wouldn't have happened.

>>97347559
I dunno anon, when you see 10 threads all made within an hour asking similar questions, using sentence fragments or 2-3 lines of green text at best, its pretty clear it is a single person, perhaps even 1 or 2 others working in tandem, making them. For what purpose, I wont speculate.
And then when people call those threads out for being spam, and they get the same 2-3 replies bemoaning generals and backseat modding and demanding to get on subject for a thread with no actual subject, its again clear its the same offender(s).
Basic pattern recognition is a lost art.

Even if I didn't end up at a table with a DM trying to make me fall, I think I'd end up doing it myself. I'm too rash and impulsive for the class, I think, to live up to the morality required of it.

Over Christmas at about 3am I suddenly had the coolest concept for a cleric of loviatar who I now desperately want to play, but I'm pretty sure any campaign would drop me the moment I said "cleric of loviatar."

Yes. Twice.

>>97345624
Sort of. One is the 40k plastic model, and the other is the Forgeworld Heresy one. I'd have to check but I'm pretty sure FW has a model for all the primarchs but 40k only has the 4 daemon primarchs, Roboute, and The Lion.

>>97345511
What did you have in mind? I think the new one looks good. I'd never fucking pay for it though. $200+ is fucking stupid for any model.

>>97345624
Yes. It's so the retard consumers who are obsessed with this particular super villian keep buying another one. If they just had the one figure, most would just buy one and then stop, something that would be bad for GW sales. Repeatedly releasing different versions means GW gets a continuous income (until the retards wise up they are being scammed and quite GW products altogether)

>OG Delta Green combines the greatest hits conspiracies from the last century
>nu Delta Green is focused on shallow contemporary stuff

So what modern conspiracies do you suggest they include if they’ve already exhausted all the material, hotshot? Pizzagate? Qanon? Cults that turn college grads trans? What exactly is deep and clever enough that it should make into modern Delta Green?

After a nightmare I had last night, I've come to a conclusion that zombie media has been doing it wrong. Zombies are way WAY more fucking terrifying when you can't tell someone has turned until you interact with them. Bonus points if they hopelessly cry for help early on during the infection.
>To avoid friendly fire and to avoid hiding from help you have to make yourself known to potential threats
>Anyone sent in to clean up the situation is much more likely to shoot first and ask questions never
>Mercenary responders can be willing to even kill each other to claim killed competitors as zombie heads taken which puts you in crossfire and endangers any well-meaning responders
Also exploding zombies need keratinous skin growths for shrapnel spikes.

The zombie film series I watched in the nightmare was scarier than the shit in the nightmare actually trying to kill me.

>>97345114
The cool old conspiracy that already got adapted into numerous movies and books? Good and very cool. The cringe new conspiracy that is talked about on 4chin and that everyone and their grandma saw on Fox News? Bad and shallow.

>>97346884
Most conspiracies are shit either because they're true like the smoking industry conspiring to conceal the fact that that shit causes cancer or because the people that believe them are insufferable assholes that act in the worst fucking ways possible in furtherance of their tinfoil beliefs.

The rare exceptions are the ones where the entire thing is a joke like birds being invented by the CIA to spy on us or shit like flat earth where the belief generally has no real world way to act on it that impacts other people and we get to laugh at a bunch of mentally ill people as they rave like lunatics and occasionally get punched by an astronaut or blow themself up doing a DIY rocket launch.

WH prices in the US are entirely about profit maximisation as a monopoly with a luxury good and not at all related to actual cost. Thinking that a local factory would decrease prices is ludicrous. If anything they'd slap a "made in the us" on it and increase prices. It might improve stock/availability though, but I suspect some of the stock issues are deliberate fomo-building from GWs US division.
In short WH is expensive in the US because the retards there are willing to pay those prices.

It's called railroading.
It's when the DM has decided what happens beforehand and pretends the player has agency apart from the tactical combat decisions, and also the DM isn't allowing his players to be creative enough to come up with other ways to get to the story beat.
In my old party, this type of shit would happen a lot. And I'd come up with a solution and my DM would shoot me down. Luckily my new group will actually make lists like follows:
>Is there a window we can climb into
>Can we wait for someone or some thing to come out/go in and ambush them
>Lets go hire a thief
>Lets go find a spell scroll to unlock
>Use stone shape on the wall
>Lets dig under the tower and break into it from underneath
>I set fire to the door
>The fighter chops down the door with an axe
>Heat metal to weaken the hinges so we can pull it out
>I knock on the door, pretending to deliver a message or package from a rival wizard. What package and message? Eeem, I'll put my immovable rod in and tell the wizard his rival says to stick it up his ass and then beg for mercy throughout the interaction.

>>97347319

The suggestion is that you can't work with the failure of your player as a GM. But I think there are plenty of ways to deal with it. I'll keep to dnd vocabulary:
Study and practice costs money for reagents and inks and shit. You also need downtime because you use spell slots on the appropriate level when practicing. Some spells require rare reagents / materials to learn that will take some adventuring to obtain.
You need to find information on the spell, or have instruction from one who mastered it to attempt it. Experimentation without information or instruction will be more costly in time and reagents, and have a higher chance of failure. You can't attempt to learn a spell without information or instruction unless you have seen it being cast, or you can realistically argue that two or more spells you already know should give you enough insight to start the process.

In general, given the risks involved, populated areas don't take kindly to magical teachings and experimentation within their communities. Depending on local laws and customs you might face fines, exile, mob justice, the stink eye, theft/espionage from competitors, general displeasure, whatever. This is part of why wizard towers are a thing.

Failure to learn the spell can result in backfired spells. You might:
>take some damage
>turn yourself into a newt for 1d4 days
>block your chakras causing you to lose access to 2 spell slots of the level of the spell
> literally blow your hand off
>cause you to become "wild magicked" for 1d4 weeks
>a thundercloud follows you constantly inside and outside causing you to be soaked and take 1d4 lightning damage every 2 hours until dispelled
>you create a rift and 1d6 void imps enter and attack you
