I wouldn't mind a surprise release of some elite armored foot warriors for Idoneth

>>97280596
>new dual kit for elite 5 man akhelian infantry
>2 new cav units riding different animals
would genuinely flesh out IDK to where they need to be.

>>97278613
Genuinely seems to be the explanation, the new backstory feels like something someone not overly familiar with the setting came up with and that noone told them redeemed were a thing until it was already too far in to course correct. They offer no reasoning for why neave has to have a dude following her around and murdering her whenever she finds out who she is, and have an idoneth ready to collect her soul as payment when she (inevitably, they believe) turns back to chaos again.

They don't even have a reason for why everyone decides she's allowed to know her past without killing her now in s2, to the point bastian offers up a completely innocent UW character's soul in place of neave's when the idoneth wants to be paid. They were just fucking with her for no reason, i guess, and really hate that random other stormcast too

>how can I feel better about that
It's not a shining happy ending for that pairing, but you gotta learn more about the characters than just memes and read some stuff for youself.

They broke up in the end times because tyrion drew the sword of khaine, as his character was always teased to do, and went violently insane like his ancestor did. They had a kid together, even when alarielle's firstborn should've been a child with the phoenix king, and that daughter's death + his inability to have been there to save her created a lot of the anger and anguish that drove him to the awful things he did during the end times. Alarielle was appauled at the things he did, especially to people they both cared about, and even knowing that after a certain point he wasn't in his right mind they couldn't reconcile. She mourned him greatly when he died, was the first person he spoke to after Teclis brought him back and purged the influence of khaine, but as much as they still cared for one another, some things can't be undone.

In aos Alarielle is driven by a lot of that end times character development, she saw how fucked up the elves were and the terrible things they were willing to do, and moved on. She moved on by making her own children rather than looking for elves to rebuild their race like the other three did, and she took a new consort after growing to love someone else. It's pretty overt she still cares about Tyrion and still mourns her dead daughter, but she isn't bound by events from a world ago.

>>97278764
>>97278767
Neither of these are really true, Alarielle did fuse with Ariel and took the mantle of Isha in the cyclical changing over of the elven pantheon, but she didn't become a new person or whatever. It's obvious she has some influence from that merging, like her seeing an insane Kurnous and feeling a connection to him that led to her growing Kurnoth from the noble parts of his corpse or her more fey-like changing of moods, but it's almost all Alarielle

>other ruling question is does Dark Ruler No More prevent Mirrorjade's leave the battlefield effect?
No. It's easier to understand when you conceptualize cards as separate instances when they activate their effects in different locations, rather than the same card which had effects applied to them in other locations. The instance of Mirrorjade that was on the field had its effects negated by the effects of Dark Ruler No More. The effects of Mirrorjade in the GY or banishment did not.

Of note; If you return Mirrorjade to the Extra Deck, its effect doesn't trigger. Same applies if Mirrorjade is banished face-down, because they are face-down.

No DMG but I got 2 qcdr cards and a Maliss P March Hare.

MtG didn't use to be this way until EDH became the most popular format. When playing MtG casually meant taking a Standard deck to your weekly FNM, proxies were not allowed as it was a sanctioned tournament. Since EDH is a casual format, people never really gave a shit and that sentiment remained, fortunately. The price of MtG singles since the advent of Commander has increased dramatically, where even your average casual deck non-proxied will run you fro. $250-$500, unless you're explicitly playing a budget build. I unironically switched to playing YGO as my primary card game as it is far more affordable these days.

>>97277430
Most players don't give a fuck about proxy/OCG/AE cards, HOWEVER the owner will absolutely kick your ass to the curb if he catches you with one during a official tournament, because he can lose his OTS status over it. It's only allowed in HOTU tournaments, but then again HOTU tournaments have all sorts of weird rules, my lgs has its custom banlist and also lets you use a card from the official banlist ie you can run pot of greed or apollousa in your deck.

Selling games is pathetic. Either throw it out or gift it to a friend, charity, or boardgame cafe

What was your first game of 2026, anons? Earlier today I played Arnak for the first time, 2p game with my wife. I quite enjoyed it, thought we wouldn't get to do all too much seeing as there's only 5 rounds of 2 worker placements each, but there was enough to do with card actions and misc. free actions. I think I'll get the expedition leaders thing soon. Also looking forward to playing with 3 or 4 people to see how it differs with numbers of location tiles and competition for sites.

>>97280466
I won't say it's pathetic, but if you have anything like a decent income it's simply not worth the time. Giving them away is the best option, and could get you laid too.

Before you ask, I'm giving away games to a school where a friend of a friend is a teacher. She was interested, and unfortunately I'm not available. Still, that's one avenue for you lonely fellas out there.

>>97280466
>>97280595
I'm usually far too lazy to bother selling my stuff, but my local club does a buy/sell/trade table so I usually put them on there for a few quid and if they're not gone after a couple of sessions I'll give them to a charity shop.

>>97280595
The next level of this is just volunteer playing board games with people who are receiving mental/physical support in hospital or agency setting. You'll meet a ton of people, especially women. But no one actually wants to go through the effort of being prosocial. I get a lot of people who want to volunteer because they think my clients are projects to 'fix' and want to feel like superheroes by doing fuckall for a couple weeks before disappearing

>>97280632
Ive done something similar where if I don't have anyone who i can specifically give a game to I put it up at my spot and just ask for people to put their name and then raffle it. Its prosocial and builds community for zero effort but I dont do it anymore since I dont buy games I dont play often and keep

Pretty sure clerics and paladins can stay at temples for free, and can exchange services for a free stay at an inn.

But the second involves being creative and role-playing

>every animal ever that lives in groups and hunts for food
To be fair, that doesn’t apply to a staggering amount of monsters and real-life animals – most either don’t hunt (bovids, elephant-likes) or don’t live in groups (big cats save for lions, snakes, birds, and the hundreds of monsters based on those three). So at least we can use them to introduce some tactics different from the typical ‘group of idiots’ and ‘single giant monster’ animal encounters.

centaurs would make really good beat cops and be the go too for riot squads


the thing about centaurs is they arent normal calvalry
a horse is a pretty dumb animal
a centaur has no horse it needs to control

humans would find plenty of situations where they have the advantage but its not a whole different world for them indoors.

centaur bodyguards would be top of the line unrivaled.

>logistics
That's one of the main advantages I see with them. For adventuring, they can carry people and gear. For non-adventuring tasks, there's a lot of horsepower to spare for a number of tasks. I'd envisioned medical centaurs hauling a whole carriage of wounded or delivering supplies. This works for post-industrial worlds, but are pre-ubiquitous combustion engine worlds, where the tech for cars and planes is available, but horse-drawn stuff is still the mainstay. The WW2 and subsequent wars would have them doing more base construction and scouting, I think.
>centaur style races
All of the feats I listed up here >>97276510 should work with your tiger/komodo dragon/spider/whatever body, assuming your body is strong enough to act as a mount. I'm sure you could homebrew a few more feats if you wanted another effect.
>>97279447
I tend to have them a slave class with hand wave lore being "They used to be a tribal in the planes, but after losing several territorial wars, they became subjugated and restricted to reservations" akin to native american lore within the U.S. This also allows me to create muscular simple minded amazon style centaur women (this is my fetish), which is perfect for me.
>>97279511
At the very least, they have to find some stairs. There's some other bullshit you can do as well, but if transmog isn't an option, in some cases, centaur folk are just too big to navigate some dungeon sections.

8. Notes and whispers- One trick that has gotten great results is if there’s a piece of very complex or detailed information I tell the players in private or hand them the information so that their player (and by extension, character) can share with the group.

9. Minimize out of character- try to minimize OOC talk if possible. Allow some degree of narrative control. This won’t come naturally, so feel free to prompt this with, “tell me what X does as he’s getting ready to leave the inn”. Prompt roleplaying. Prompt in-character behavior. If you can, encourage as much first person as possible. Getting an entire table to interact in first person is really unique and interesting. Discourage “mother may I” play or asking for rolls. Instead have the players describe what the character tries to do and let the GM ask for a roll. “Can I roll history?” should turn into, “I search my memory for whether I’ve heard this legend or not”. Honestly? I hate “knowledge rolls”, they should be scarce, in my opinion. A character should, generally, know something (what they “know” might not be the full truth) and I like preparing ahead of time what characters know.

10. How to Fail Forward- A lot of people talk about fail forward and say things like “failure should not stop the flow of the game” which is good advice, but they don’t necessarily say how. Here’s my advice, when the players fail to accomplish an action (one that would otherwise halt the flow of the game), do not be afraid to say bluntly

11. GM Descriptions are 3 sentences maximum. Every description should include at least two pieces of sense information.

12. Pauses in description allow me to introduce complications or move the timeline forward. Prepare new complications to introduce when there is a pause in flow. If your complications or experience are direct consequences of previous character activity- that’s top tier GMing.

438 KB PNG

>>97278798
13. Prepare obstacles but not the solutions to those obstacles when possible. When characters come up with solutions, it’s okay to say “no”. Try for “no, but..” but it’s okay to simply say it doesn’t work and to think of something else. Use this sparingly, though. Saying “yes” too easily can dissolve tension/difficulty/problem solving. Not saying “yes” or “yes, but..” enough will discourage creativity.

14. If the potential for conflict is visible, then it will never be passed over (this doesn’t just mean combat). When in doubt, introduce conflict.

15. Your characters can write your session- When the engine is firing on all cylinders and your players are fully immersed make sure to ask them what they plan to do next session. This will help you prepare your setpieces and encounters. Random tables are very helpful. I encourage you to pre-roll MOST of them prior to session. Rolling also helps me prep for sessions and brainstorm. You MUST keep idea documents to help organize these.

Bonus tip: whether you like it or not, you save yourself an incredible headache by playing with like-minded people in the same season of life as you. Be careful with the more socially extreme/loud personalities. Quiet, overtly “boring”, politically milquetoast nerds are the lifeblood of any stable group.

I'm very open to any new tips /tg/. I've learned a lot from this board (including most of this info). I'm open to hearing disagreements as well.

>>97278798
>do not be afraid to say bluntly

>>97278784
>Time pressure- adding time pressure through use of "clocks" including real life clocks is incredibly helpful to add pressure and tension to a scenario.
I disagree entirely. I've had two separate campaigns ruined because the players decided a several-month long timer was too brief for them to do something and, despite being grossly underleveled for it, insisted on approaching the encounter. I pushed them off, redirected them to a side-task but they kept at it, almost every session.
