right on yeah I wanted to also buy a pack of smokes and hot box my car with cigarettes and the cards to age them.

this is what my cards from the 2010s are like since we used to sit around a big table playing magic and pokemon sleeveless chain smoking cigs in this big old house from the 1920s

plus I think it would just make the cards look more natural anyway, but I wonder how well those Chinese dudes can make both older unlimited cards and later 90's cards like force of will and chrome mox or mox diamond even. I guess I would have to see it to believe it

are you saying from the 'fitters the sides are bad or the cheaper "proxy" sites like you were just using? I thought BL and the other ones were like getting to be remarkably close in recent times. or is that only for certain cards ie modern ones, or 2000s ones or white border or what

>Often times proxies of very old cards look like ass for some reason.
Are you specifying the set you want them from or just giving the card name? If you don't give the card name you'll just get whatever the packers put their hands on first which can be incredibly hit or miss. In many cases for older cards that have only increased in price recently due to Premodern hype, there are only old printings and not an updated improved one. BL is currently working on a Premodern set and Usea just made large releases of both foil and nonfoil Premodern staples.

Chandra lesbianly walked towards Nissa, her mannish Home Depot figure cast a dark shadow much like the patriarchal glass ceiling that is one inch above her hair. She pulled down her pants, her hyena like clit throbbing to a feminine 13 inch. "Suck it", exclaimed Chandra, womanly. "But dear Chandra", replied Nissa, feebleishly like a bottom woman, "sucking effect is for black mana only".

Is it, or rather is it thrown out as a thing that supposedly exists by the books or writers or just by random people talking about Exalted? Sidereals says this about "other Exalted" (ie. not Sidereals, Heaven's Dragons or Exigents witg legitimate business in Heaven):
>Heaven has few other Exalted visitors and fewer such
residents, yet they aren’t wholly unknown. Those with
legitimate business in Yu-Shan, backing from divine
allies, or skill in subterfuge can secure entry through
one of Heaven’s gateways. This has grown vanishingly
rare since the Usurpation, with the Solars sealed away
and the Silver Pact wary of Bronze Faction treachery.
While it has neither capacity nor desire to hunt down
every Lunar or Solar who sets foot in Heaven, the
Bronze Faction poses so great a threat that few of its
enemies could feel comfortable on its home turf. But
with the return of the Solars — particularly Eclipse
Caste diplomats — and the Gold Faction’s resurgence,

Fuck, fucked up the greentext. Still, that section doesn't really make it sound like Lunars make a habit of just casually hanging out in Heaven. It sounds more like saying that if non-Sidereal PCs want to make their way to Heaven, it's a difficult but possible goal rather than badwrongfun that must not be allowed.

>>97839946
After some combing through the book, seems like /exg/ lied to me yeah. This is pretty much it.

>>97839999
Yeah, I also went combing through the books a thread or two back when someone here claimed that neutral Lunars in Heaven were just a thing now and concluded that the bit I posted was pretty much the final word on the matter. I remember that that anon had obviously read that bit, but he cherrypicked bits of it in a dishonest as fuck fashion - for instance, pointing out that 3E says that Bronze Siddies can't hunt every Anathema who sets foot in Heaven, but nit pointing out that Bronze is still a big enough threat to mostly deter Lunars or Solars from even trying to go to Heaven. It actually genuinely bothers me how common such dishonest reading of the material is here, when people read the material in the first place. It makes discussing the game a pain in the ass.

>>97839999
>>97840069
I stand by it to be clear. I know I read the quote somewhere and I just can't find it. Yes, it's not in Sidereals, no, I didn't claim it was in Sidereals, yes, I pointed out that it wasn't in Sidereals at the time. The quote I'm looking for is specifically about Lunars visiting their allies in Heaven among one of the Bureaus (I think nature). I am not lying or trying to be dishonest, I'm just not sure where the fuck the quote is. I am absolutely making an argument that isn't declaratively canon, but could be extrapolated from canon sources if I could just fucking find the other one. I've been scanning back and forth over Crucible of Legend which was by best guess for it but no dice, and it's not in Many-Faced Strangers or Lunars either afaics. I'm just hoping it's not in Demake or Essence, but I didn't find it anywhere I expected so it may very well be. If it's the former then sue me because I'm posting headcanon with even worse sources, sue me.

>There are Lunar elders hanging out in Heaven, but that's because 3e is poorly written and Lunars hanging out in Heaven is normal now.
>there are completely unaffiliated Lunars hanging around Heaven because reasons
These were the claims (the latter one wasn't written by me) and the precise interpretation that I want to get across isn't that Lunars are canonically taking up permanent residence in Heaven, but that they are going into Heaven on pretty normal business (based on that quote I'm still fucking looking for where they're basically meeting up with / contacting allied gods, not conducting raids or whatever) without being carpet bombed by the Bronze Faction (based on this >>97839946 quote). 'Unaffiliated' (not a word I used) was something I interpret as meaning they're not on Pact / War on Heaven / some greater patron's business, rather than something more like a Heaven's Dragons situation but with Lunars which I could understand that statement (again not my own statement) being interpreted as.

Do you think the people who sought the fantasy license were like, "We're going to be really strict about our duties, NO ONE is to be aware of any other Games Workshop products than the ones we're pursuing. Do not even THINK about them!!"

And then just by sheer chance the three Starcraft armies are direct ripoffs of three 40K armies.

The Xenomorph is the weakest of the aliens. It needs a host to reproduce. IoM has no problems with wiping out hosted populations. IoM LasGuns can easily kill a Xenomorph. "OH NO, their acid blood is TOO DANGEROUS!" It isn't if you're dealing with alien monsters that can tank Lasers, Bolters, and those over-the-top bullets the SC humans are using. Not to mention, BOTH Nids and Zergs have ranged weapons that can SHRED Metal. Both make a point of taking in DNA from other races. BOTH CAN FLY IN SPACE.

It's honestly funny how UNDERPOWER Xenoomorphs are.

Both are generic and look dumb.

i don't think necromancy fits, that's just an inherently evil ability. and humans are not an inherently evil race.

>>97816513
Warhammer fantasy has the best take on necromancy as a "Human thing" because only human beings have the right combination of short lifespan, and relative magical aptitude, to make it seem like a good use of your time.
Elves look at necromancy and go "I'm good": they don't wanna get a permanent case of shit-face from freebasing congealed Dhar scraped off the floor of an Altdorf toilet stall.

Ah damn I wanted to use that pic for my session report. Eh doesn't matter.

So I braved the cursed 5p session and played a bunch of different games.

>Santiago
It's as good as people say it is, suprisingly so. Not that big on pure negotiation games, largely because even in the best cases (like chinatown) they tend to exhaust me far more than a mathsy euro or stressful realtime game ever could. Santiago sidesteps this in an interesting way, on closer inspection it's a bizzarely eurofyed version of negotiation. You can negotiate, but not freely exchange resources and the spotlight is always on one person that makes the decision, eliminating the frantic shouting over each other and jockeying for attention, which also means there's no need for a timer to keep it short like in chinatown. First game took around 75 minutes and could realistically go down to 45. Not much to say, it's pretty good and very cutthroat, and I merely scratched the surface of how to play well. Rightfully a classic and I will prefer it to all other negotiation games in the future. Problem is that it allegedly is only really good with 5p.

>Agricola
Had a new player (who is a bit of a brainlet) on the table so drafting was out of the question. Still enjoyed it because Agricola is just fucking awesome, but the draft is clearly what elevates the game. Didn't much feel the high player count, bit over 2h. I wish there was a comeback of more brutal euros like this, where your first game should just be about "try to not starve". Finally going over the edge from barely making it to actually having an engine run and being able to do more than survive is so statisfying. I expected 5p to be far longer, and it's very interesting how adding a few spaces changes the games dynamic a lot.

>Ra
5p sees the players with a little too little control than I'd like but it's still phenomenal. Ra might just be best at 3.

>cont.

let's say I have 5 tarellians and 5 barghesi from that one box set, don't ask me how I got them, would you say this unit of 10 is a good kill team: Tarellian Dog Soldiers? It feels like most pets in kill team are usually like one or two and then a kill team of 5-9 guys though. But the barghesi aren't actually dogs either, they're just aliens who got enslaved by other aliens.

>>97839417
I remember there was a brief moment in 2023 when that was cheap as fuck, like as low as 110 bucks free shipping, then suddenly people were scalping it for 200 bucks or more. I hate ebay. That part of 2023 went by really fast too.

>>97840060
Or maybe I'd run it like Kill Team Wolf Scouts with 5 tarellians and barghesi and the other 4 barghesi can just be for the memes on my shelf.

Perhaps it is my own arrogance, my own bravado, that has brought us here, to this crossroads. The question is... where to go from here? We've spoken of fate, of prophecy. Have I traveled this road too long to turn back? Perhaps I have no choice but to continue on to the end...

this is a very good comment! thank you for the feedback! I like your decklist, I just dont like running the 3 level 4 Ruki's. Also I like to use more the renamon from ex 02. to 4 because I want to grab more tamers. My favorite plug in is the defense one because it stops my opponent from suspending but the offensive one can get rid of pesky ones. But meta is zefaggotmon which loves to twist around. Also the ilyad decks are annoying. I would probably reduce one or two ruki's level 4. Also I like the ace sakuyamon but she is a time bomb u

>>97839905
yeah I find the 4 cost rika can be a bit clunky, its by far ur best tamer and provides insane value, but you never want 2 of them on board thus you never want to see 2 of them
so ideally you run the card at 2, but the problem is that at 2 copies you don't see it enough in time, so you run 3 and just use the others as a free card you can trash for certain things (as niche as it is that comes up, st renamon is the only way you can do that from your end but that isn't the most common situation) but I think its very easy to just run it at 2 and not expect to see her every game.
my list is for my playstyle, ratios should be changed for what plays you find yourself making more and towards your own playstyle.

the plug-ins are a pretty niche thing
the blue one is obviously the best one in a vaccuum, red is great for certain things as well but its link effect is just strictly worse so it kinda feels not as good.
black is obviously far worse, except that the black plug-in is often your only answer or gives a lot better options in certain situations. For example 2 of them were really good earlier as it massively improved the hudiemon match up, with 0 chitose they were unable to attack past you as you could just block and they didn't have enough DP neg, with a single chitose they needed to use up a shakkoumon before swinging and required 2 chitose to get the job done. your goal was to make 1 maid mode, get a chip in, then make a 2nd stack and kill them with that, so you were stalling for a turn inbetween and hoping to not die. Except if they were not fully setup and couldn't clear the maid mode you basically just instantly won the game and it gave a significant improvement to the hudie match up.
RK is a similar one where it massively improves the match ups
it makes styracco struggle a lot more as well and setup double kill situations
so while I don't think its that strong, I also find it invaluable in so many match ups

you should play what fits you though

>>97839910
its insane when it pops off
I played it a bit, its quite fun

but its a far more difficult deck to pilot than most (without a massively big return) and if you even slightly brick you get very stalled out, and its a very prone to bricking deck with a lot of the cards it needs to run.
it also isn't even cheap of a deck as some of the SR's go for a decent chunk so I am not surprised it isn't popular

Its a single wave of support from being insane though and hugely oppressive

>>97840015
if your opening hand sucks you are probobly not playing the game, yeah. If you have a decent hand you get to weave your deck to prevent bricking. I would say its less prone to bricking than imperial or sneed mille
