I (38M) seriously gotta vent cause Im almost back to normal now and it's like, I took a look back and it's like, what the actual fuck was wrong with me??

So two years ago I went absolutely nuts when Magic, for the whole covid left over slump. I was basically playing Historic and Brawl 24/7. Because of this, these were my two obsessions. And Im talking full on OBSESSION.

At first it was just like 'haha Jace is kinda hot' and I'd giggle about it. Then it flipped. Whenever Jace pulled off one of those over-the-top ultimate finishers with the eight loyalty counters and the empty library and the "I love it when a plan comes together!" I'd rope the match, shove my hand down my pants and it was full feral mode. Every time. Entering the battlefield or dying I didn't care. That guy's greasy hair and cocky attitude gotten me acting way outta line.

Then Fblthp showed up. Sweet-tortured cowboy-set Fblthp. That whiney impish homunculus voice when he's all lost and clueless? Boom, floodgates. I'd get this thing where if Fblthp's shirtless by a bulbous cactus or stumbling around confused in the thick of battle I'd be three fingers deep up my ass before he'd even be resolved on the stack. No exaggeration. I once came so hard on that "Borborygmos and Fblthp" card with Borborygmos that I dropped my ergonomic mouse and it skidded under the couch. Had to even stop for like 15 minutes to get back.

It got ridiculous. I'd have this whole routine of lights OFF, headphones on, one monitor for Arena and sometimes i'd pull up certain youtube clips of the Jace taunting at enemies or Fblthp bumbling around like a fucking idiot. I'd edge myself for like 30 - 45 min just waiting for the perfect moment (Jace drawing me a card or Fblthp being shuffled back into my library). I was clocking my orgasms to their lines of voice. (Cringing like crazy at typing this.)

The worst part? I began to get mad when the games did not present me with enough "content". Like I'd scream at WotC for not making Jace combo more. On one occasion, I yelled at my sticky laptop "JUST TELL ME WHAT I'M THINKING AND WHY IT WON'T WORK" in the middle of a Brawl match. My roommate heard me through the wall, and he thought I was arguing with someone over Discord.

How I finally stopped (mostly):

I began to date this handsome, sweet, funny planeswalker who want to actually let me combo instead of just me wanting to combo myself to sprites. The first time we ultimated he did this little shoulder - shrug thing taking his loyalty counters off and I swear I almost cried because it reminded me of Jace so much. I had a mini panic attack (but a funny one). He was so confused.

After that I kinda just forced myself to cold turkey on the Magic hornyposting. I straight-up deleted my Jace & Fblthp thirst playlist on youtube. Started playing not so sexy games instead (Train Simulator, Goat Simulator, stuff where nobody's making me touch myself). When I become caught up in thinking about re-playing Arena, I just remember the fact that it was so embarrassing to be 37 and dry humping my pillow screaming "SURRENDER YOUR MIND TO PHYREXIA'S WILL" at 3am (real event btw).

I still think Jace is hot. Fblthps always will be peak tragic hilf material. But I need not to punish my poor brown maiden for it anymore. I graduated to real cards (mostly).

Anyway, that’s the confession. If you made it this far… I’m sorry. And also you're welcome for the visuals.

tl;dr: Arena game characters make me into a heavy masturbation addict and I'm recovering.

>>97257447
It's mostly a japanese RPGs thing, both anime, manga and videogames do that stuff all the time. It's an excuse for you to get another race, goofy villains, some ally to go and fight gods as it's costumary of japanese nonsense and of course anti heroes that use evil powers to hunt evil.

No wonder you get a lot of demon but not evil if those franchises get more than one installment or have authors doing adaptations of them that were inspired by previous worka with those ideas then insert them on the manga adaptation.

It muddies the water for the west except when you get shit like>>97257521 this were it's just stupid.

It's disingenuous to think it never happens, it's just that you never see it until you find complete stupidity at hand.
Also every tabletop with demons that last more than 2 editions will end up adding demon races or have fans making rules to play demons at some point then try to humanize them for you to play as them, it's retarded but that's the way of the world.

Need help on figuring out some details for the planet in my incomming session.
Period: post-Endor
Planetname is Merchant republic in the Outter Rim and currently politically divided into 2 factions, which are constantly sabotaging each other.
In a gesture of compromise (and prevent further damage from sabotage actions) ruling body allowed both sides of the conflict purchase additional military equipment for self-defense under central government supervision. One side purchased TIE/mg, would Headhunters seemed as balanced purchase for other side?
Also, any example of Rebels/NR APCs?

>>97267035
You’re doing the same thing here.

>>97269143
Rebels have the Arrow-23 explorer landspeeders converted to combat for fireteam level mobility, the Mekuun Heavy Tracker for a heavy APC and command vehicle. They have that big flying APC from EaW FoC whose name I forget.

I was at NoVa and post regularly in this thread. No the allegation is not corroborated by any of the people I met or played with at the event, and I know one of the two women who were there.
We get this kind of garbage regularly off people looking to start shit because for some reason a certain type of sperg gas decided we shouldn't be here when a far better and more universally hated target of AoS is right there. The answer is we ignore them and move on hence why I didn't bother fighting it in the other thread. It's mostly just annoying and they don't have any actual arguments to bring to bear other than new thing bad

You misunderstand. He is SO conditioned to believe that his political beliefs aren’t merely opinions but are the baseline, objective “truth” he legitimately doesn’t understand they’re just like his opinions man.

I know a couple of old farts like that, they are surprised people can even disagree with them, not dare to disagree but can. Their arrogance is off the charts.

It never crossed their minds people don't see the world as they do, college teachers can be so fucking awful to deal with.

It's less than $40 for the two of them, and you don't have to fuck around with import fees into Burgerland. Cheaper than two Big Macs, and you don't run the risk of making the kobold angry and stopping translations all together.

Keep the shields, consider shields, dual hand weapons, banner of butchery.
Take a charge and pull your hw+s, do the charge and get choppin.

For the little archer unit I enjoy musicians in mine as they inevitably run - so consider that.

I assume you mean in reference to the big ujs? I could dump the doom diver for that but think that it could be handy at 1k points.

Anyone know if Myrmidesh Painbringers rank up on 30mms?

How does CRGE compare to Mythic GME2?

>>97266273
The chance of rolling a 14 or lower on a D20 seven times in a row is approximately 8.24%.
Here is the breakdown of the math:
* Chance per roll: Rolling a 14 or lower on a D20 is a 14/20 chance, which is 70% (0.7).
* Chance for 7 in a row: You multiply the probability by itself 7 times (0.7^7).

In other terms:
* Percentage: ~8.24%
* Odds: Roughly 1 in 12.
So while it is a streak, it is actually not statistically rare. It is about as likely as rolling a natural 1, 2, or 3 on a single d20 roll.

>>97267101
I wouldn’t call Scarlet Heroes OSR per se, there’s no real threat of instant death or high lethality

I played the original and have a bunch of expansions from an old Kickstarter, but never played the expansions.
The core (original) game is a bit basic and amounts to a bit of a beer and pretzels level of game without much depth to it. I kinda want to layer on some additional rules to it but probably should look at the expansions first to see if they add any additional rules and not more monsters, maps, and items. I'm currently dumping my energy into tinkering with my FDM printer and making 15mm war gaming stuff right now though.

Oh yes, I'm also ass pained at how that one sci fi game Sodapop did turned out. I'm not really clear what happened but Cool Mini or Not had a hand in how shitty the figures turned out.

>>97261050
I've bough the first version some 10 years ago. It's decent enough for what it is - a simple child-friendly miniature-centric boardgame.
Though nowadays I'd get Townsfolk Tussle instead, it fills the same niche better.

>>97262825

I got that version at Origins back when it came out, played a couple games with my group, and then watched ND completely collapse under their own hubris.
