The game is alright. You clearly put a lot of time into it, but it's just another fantasy game. It doesn't have a good hook or unique mechanic.

The Thran and The Brothers War are great. Prequel/beginning of the artifacts cycle and also the best in that series. Covers the rise of Yawgmoth and Urza vs Mishra.

Ice Age cycle (The Gathering Dark, Eternal Ice, Shattered Alliance) I loved in high school. Jodah and Jaya Ballard are fun to read.

Chainer's Torment is my favorite, great story and you can treat as a self contained novel if you want. Chainer and Kamahl are bros.
>>
>>97892324
Not the best but I think the weatherlight crew is overhated. The rath stuff is good and Mercandian Masques is a fun fish out of water adventure. Invasion block is sadly proto avengers endgame despite being good in game.

Seconding the Brothers' War, Grubbkino is always worth a read. For pre-revision I'm particularly partial to Ashes of the Sun, but if you're not in the mood for Hurloon minotaur politics it's not likely to appeal to you. For nuWalker content, Agents of Artifice and Test of Metal are the only ones I can recommend, but I did stop reading after Scars of Mirrodin's rather dreadful novel.

My most controversial pick would be the Onlsaught cycle, books so divisive that they were officially retconned and remain despised by a lower class of intellects too base to appreciate unmen, angel-leopard-centaurs or Jeska's absolute clusterfuck of a journey. Every day I lament being in the timeline that Yawgmoth's reveal was retconned and we got the unbelievably gay nuPhyrexia instead of the true Phyrexia's return

How does Apprentice Illusion Magician's discard effect work with Diffusion Wave-Motion? Like if my opponent has three monsters out, do I get the 2000 atk boost while hitting just one of them, or does it apply against all three monsters?

Each attack from Diffusion Wave Motion is a separate attack and Apprentice Illusion Magician's effect only applies to a singular damage calc.

I tried to make it work too, but skeletal soldier's "also, you cannot Special Summon during the turn you activate either of this card's effects, except Insect, Plant, or Reptile monsters" means you either stick to RIP end board pieces, or you give up on what is pretty much the best ragnaraika card.

And that's not the only issue, evil seed is not searchable nor you can bridge to it with mitsurugi (plant link can do it with jasmine), but you can alleviate this issue somewhat by maxing out seed and bloom, and also running as many lonefire blossom as you want. The issue with this however is that you always want aramasa to take the normal summon (it can also be manju/lamia, depends on how much of an oldfag/monstergirl fucker you are), because it leads to the 3 ritual snakes, 3 level 4 bodies and either purification or another copy of prayers. Evil seed only leads to stag sovereign/chain coils and hunting dance.
Another issue ragnaraika has, is that in order to special summon evil seed, you need a discard. And it has to be a RIP card, it can't just be a random handtrap. If you start with bloom instead, you will need TWO discards.

Mind you, i'm not saying that ragnaraika is bad, it's actually a good engine in traptrix because that deck tends to die if their normal summon gets negated, so tossing a random traptrix to special summon seed and get 2 extra interactions out of it is a fair trade. It's also a great starter in plant link, a 60 card pile that has been fine tuned to get the most out of DRNM and set up a nearly unbreakable board. Mitsurugi has better things to do with all the bodies it shits out.

New to mtg. My favorite color is blue. How do I play it?
>>
>>97896362
Usually blue is part of a control or tempo plan. Control wants to shut down opponents from winning the game, tempo wants to be efficient on the board and close out the game quickly while disrupting the opponent's impactful plays. You're in luck, as blue (and blue/red in particular) is currently extremely strong right now. You can check out meta decks at various places like https://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/standard#paper

Your char and party is easily captured and stripped naked and removed from all items and thrown into a DEAD MAGIC abandoned parking lot! Now they have to face the strongest Serial Killers of history who nobody knows and never got caught...

Hey, Satan, make a proper post. Explain why you look for that explicitely, save it on a notepad, post once every couple of months. If a GM is undecided, he may decide to accomodate you. And it might sparks one's curiosity.

It might not get a reply this very thread, but since the alternative is "never", provides a bump, and is nigh effortless (if you ctrl+c / ctrl+v after the first thread, what have you got to lose?

Traditional games?

Players, how do you write you character backstories? Are there any patterns you've noticed in your writing.
I noticed that when I'm making a backstory, I have a habit to make the inciting incident something sad, even if its not super tragic. I would like to hear how others managed to give their characters goal while having them stay happy.

DMs, what kind of backstories do you like? Was there any that you really enjoyed? Any type of backstories you hate?

I usually just come up with a one or two sentence backstory to explain why my character is on the adventure.
>He got caught stealing a magical artifact and now has to work off his debt to society
>He is a noble running away from an arranged marriage. Made a pact with an eldritch being and now is trying to find a way out of it.
>He was a criminal turned cleric and now feels he has a duty to redeem other sinners.
>He is a Mage-Knight in service to the kingdom trying to gain accolades to his name in order to approach his love's father for her hand in marriage.
And then I just fill out details while playing. It does land me in some trouble with my GM since I tend to make stuff up on the fly and so sometimes my story doesn't match with what I said previously because I need to work on my note taking but it's gotten me through enough games.

Help me understand this mindset. What is the purpose of the family members if not to be used as cheap plot devices and character motivation? Do you want to roleplay interactions with your fictional mom, do you want mom to become a recurring NPC? What's the deal? I will populate my character with any amount of relatives and important people and defend them to the death, because I think that's a good way to create some narrative stakes. When I run I appreciate that, so why do people revolt against it?

The Demon works actually. Because adamantine, when you mine it, you open up Hell and the demons come for your shit, as the image shows a demon standing over a dead dwarf.
Secret Rendezvous is because vampires often tempt your dwarves to secret meetings that you're not made aware of.

Caseless rounds are tough. Propellant needs to be stable enough such that barrel heat buildup doesn’t cook off rounds without pulling the trigger, but also not so brittle that it gets damaged by less than ginger handling. The bonus of cased ammunition is that some waste heat is ejected with the case, the case provides insulation against a hot chamber and so mitigates a runaway cook-off, the case expands against the chamber walls when fired thereby creating a gas seal for more efficient energy down the barrel and less fouling into the action, cased rounds are also durable. Large benefits for a little weight.
