The art on tcgs aren't literally stolen from pixiv

>>97391648
This is the hill you wanna die on? When TCGs still exist only because they are the purest form of exploitation + gambling in boardgames? And more exploitative than casino card games?

>>97391692
Bruv that brand literally (note that I am using this word as it is supposed to be used) steals trending art from twitter and pixiv, prints it on a card, and sells them like a South East Asian who finally discovers a 5 dollar pasta maker, uses it to make noodles, and sells it at 10x the price. I don't give a shit what your stance is on """"" exploitative gambling """"" or whatever the fuck kind of cheetos dust you're snorting, but debasing yourself to pay for something that you could definitively do a much better job with (resin panels, layered 3d cutouts, custom mats or sleeves, the sky's the limit) should be considered a form of self harm and immediately put under the surveillance of a mental institution. Any further form of posturing about unrelated wishwash past this post will be considered trolling and rightfully ignored and dealt with appropriately.

>>97391718
Well, not to worry. If you decide to get into the game, he's not too hard to get since they reprinted him in Fabled. The promo would have been worth more, likely, but that only matters if you're a collector/investor. I'd recommend checking your local card store to see if they have a league night, and play a few rounds to see if it grabs you.

I really really hope TOW never undergoes what the 40k ITC went through. 40k has transformed measurably because of their catering to tourney fags. While I would like a balanced game, it’s more so for seeing variety on the table than caring about comp. I really hope TOW focuses more on flavor and crunch over comp faggotry. So far it seems specialist games has a different philosophy to the main studio, but it’s GW so it could change overnight for the better or worse.

>>97391602
>A Hochland rifle, or a group of dedicated handgunenrs, ought to be able to shoot this thing out of the sky. I don't care about balance or any of that garbage, this being a thing just does not make sense except as some kind of support unit for artillery in the way Bony used.
I can't believe that it doesn't have some kind of flammable rule. It's a fucking paper lantern with a stockpile of explosives.

>>97391761
The Flammable rule in TOW is pretty shit. It just turns off that unit's regen when hit with a flaming weapon.
Turning off Regen is what Flaming Weapons are supposed to do, Flammable is supposed to make things more susceptible to Flaming Attacks.

But yes, the Cathay balloons are dumb, and should be limited to 1 per 1000 points.

Well they made the unit super strong so people would buy the models and play them, please understand

>>97391761
It’s not a zeppelin. There no flammable gas in the balloon just hot air. The paper could obviously just be treated with flame retardant chemicals from their alchemists.
The balloon itself does need to be made way less durable though, I don’t think flammable is flavourful or significant enough to fix it. Or keep the same stats and increase its cost by 40-50%.

Interesting from a legal position. Under my country’s laws I can do this without breaching copyright as I am effectively creating something that doesn’t exist, out of pre-made parts. Under the license agreement though it would be a no-no.

That said, if you own the STLs you can do this in Meshmixer for yourself in less time than it would take to kitbash it.

>recent battleforce for admech was only $140
That seems petty cheap. I wonder why.

>>97391599
First, it's not marines. Second, they really don't want people bugging out after the custard debacle.

>>97391599
because there's fucking nothing in the box.
It's one box of troops ($80) and one small vehicle ($50) sold for $140 which isnt even worth anywhere near 140.
To make it a battleforce they'd have needed to add another unit or an actual tank.

>>97391599
also the light vehicle is 100 points and the troops are probably 150 points total. So the worst points per dollar of any army. (not even 2 ppd)

That's worse value than RESIN kits even. A random resin like Corswain ($60) for 220 points is 100% more value than the "battleforce" (3.7 instead of 1.8 ppd)

>>97391778
>>97391765
* oh, there's a generic trooper hero in the box I missed. That's the only benefit, I'd just get a recast of him for $9 from wartable.

>>97391485
>at least tangentially related to traditional gaming.
some people hate it unless you are directly discussing traditional games
(and then some people will go ahead and ask "traditional games?" in threads about specific games anyway)

because its a small number, if not a single person, who makes thread after thread after thread after thread asking the most vague, hardly /tg/ relevant questions. Usually providing no further context or thoughts past a single sentence, if that, and often just repeated or rephrased from a thread already made. mods and janitors refuse to prune them, so the rest of the board have become irritated with them and the threads and no longer wish to even feign polite indifference.

>>97391485
Why are you coming to a board that literally has games in its title if you don't want to talk about games?

>>97391485
It's a more specific insult than "poser", since it directly implicates the poster as not just having a faulty surface level impression of the board subject but also as having no actual experience to speak of. Whether it's true or not is irrelevant, mind.

>>97391485
>some folks here who make it their mission to drop bursts of negativity in threads they should've known would enrage them
Frankly? Most of those threads shouldn't be here and they're right to drop said negativity there.

Bumpfagging a thread that hasn't had a post in over a day with "Tell me more, anon" should also be bannable frankly, because it's obvious that it's not being done earnestly.

Power creep on cards isn't the problem, as other Anons have pointed out there have always been powerful cards and combos. There are cards that are banned in every format for being too powerful, and they tend to be incredibly old ones. A powerful card is negligible, on its own. There will always be other cards that completely wall it, or prevent it from being played in the first place. The problem is that it isn't just a powerful card thrown in to a deck full of janky rubbish, like it was in the old days, it's a carefully optimised and streamlined deck where every card is powerful, versatile, and synergistic. This problem doesn't even really have anything to do with how powerful the individual cards are, it's a result of vastly increased availability of information. As soon as a set releases, the community knows every card in it. The best minds in the community come up with the best decks, and then everyone else plays those decks. There's no room for an individual player to discover something original, or for a localised metagame to develop based on the cards you and your friends discovered in your limited amount of pack opening. The way we as gamers approach games of all kinds has fundamentally changed since those times, and the only way to properly recapture the feeling of early MtG would be to make a new game that couldn't be datamined or theorycrafted to oblivion.

>>97390978
that's part of it, but it's also definitely massive power creep. a given amount of mana gets you about three times the creature now that it did in the old days.

>>97390561
I can't imagine wotc is having interns manually program "do thing, draw card" 100 times every set. It'd be funny if someone made a simulator that's just like the rest except instead of an engine for the actual game it's a fancy wrapper for an LLM.

Honestly a lot of nostalgia for the old era of the game is dumb as shit. I certainly don't miss getting mauled to death by 'togs and dogs and then getting mauled to death by arcbound ravager and then getting mauled to death by jitte and then-

For all of this game's flaws theyl period after this is when they learned a lot of lessons that I think genuinely made this game better- the Lorwyn/Time Spiral era of the game was much more enjoyable then anything that came before, with varied and interesting decks, all card types actually being viable instead of creatures being dogshit, the rules being polished and the miserable shit that made the game dull being toned down to a minimum. I genuinely don't know how anyone can feel nostalgia for shit like Stasis decks, for Owling Mine or Circular fucking Logic.

Played thiefdom tonight. It's a perfectly fine game by the Clans of Caledonia dude. Sneaking around, stealing and selling stuff trying not to get caught by the constables, it's pretty fun. Theme's cool, powers are great, scores are tight and it's pretty interactive.
Yet we all ended up finding it somewhat meh. For one there was the time, it took like 2 3/4 hours where we expected it to be sub 2, but that's not enough of a reason to be down on it. I thought about it a little and then I realized something I'd consider a critical design flaw
The game is much more fun if you play a more "from your gut" game and don't plan your turns out in the minutest detalils because mistakes make the game more interesting. At the same time, though, the game punishes mistakes somewhat harshly. So the game ends up in an unhappy middle ground where everyone analyzes a lot, but no thief ever gets caught. It's a somewhat unstatisfying affair; a big part of the game is the constant threat of the constables catching you, but in reality it plays more like a puzzle in how to inconvenience your opponents the most. It's a pity because the game is pretty well designed, but there are many games more fun to play if you are looking for the heads-down and puzzly experience. Thiefdom does want to be played a little quicker than would be safe, it wants to have a snappy gameflow. But when the penalty for making a mistake is high, players naturally put in energy to avoid a failstate, and thus you end up having an AP-prone longish game that lacks the statisfaction of a more heavy experience. I wonder what group this is for, some will surely love it.

It's a bit heartbreaking, actually. The game had so much going for it, but I think I'll sell it.

Performs at parties
Manchego Manicotti (Magic Man) is a magician, no not like a wizard or anything
He's a performer that creates illusions with sleight of hand and gimmicked props
The party hired him to fill out their much needed spell caster slot but there seemed to be a misunderstanding about what services exactly he was offering

The initial interview went well when witu the snap of his fingers produced a wand which cast a fireball then vanished before everyone's eyes only to reappear behind them

Well now, wasn't that a surprise to everyone when they picked a fight with a goblin camp and it turns out he has no spells or weapons of any kind, or really any idea how to fight at all
He has a performing arts degree for crying out loud!
