Is it just me, or does Wotc know the player base for MTG is waning, that's why they came out with literal normie tier pirates vs dinosaurs lmao xDDD themed set?

I've never thought I'd see literal dinosaurs in MTG one day. Literally pandering to the lowest denominator.

Why did it ever become a thing to hate things for the primary reason that many other people like it? I don't understand. I don't really give a fuck about pirates or dinosaurs (vampire conquistadors and merfolk incans are cool as shit though, and personally I find the actual lore of the Sun Empire to be interesting), but I dont see it as a negative that other people like them. If we go with the premise that its pandering, what exactly is wizards supposed to do, make sets out of things most people DON'T like?

Magic is dying. And thank god. There hasn't been a decent set since Tarkir, and even that was rather lame. Theros had decent mechanics. I would say Battle for Zendikar is where Magic completely jumped the shark. Now with all this political controversy, and the fact that they are cutting blocks down to a single set to jew the community as much as possible, I can see Magic the Gathering as a sponge full of water that has been almost entirely squeezed out by the greedy hands of Hasbro. As long as good goys like you all keep buying the cards, the game will survive. But that's changing. Their playerbase (the real playerbase, not the normoniggers who buy 1 to 2 packs for their spawn for Christmas) is dying out. Magic will survive on casual play for a while. But honestly? The sets are shit mechanically, constantly coming out with new keywords and then abandoning them forever. They are rapidly filling their design space. It's been years since they put out a Modern-viable card.... at least, one that they didn't ban 8 seconds later because it would ruin Jund players' deck combos or whatever shit, and they autistically screeched on social media until they got their way. And like any good company, Wizards of the Coast (with Hasbro leering overhead pulling their strings and desperately trying to keep the tip of its nose from leaking onto the stage) has been supporting whatever the fuck the community wants, no matter how retarded it is. Ban some YouTube guy because he said something mean toward a precious pussy? Sure! Put traps on the cards to show how progressive they are? Sure. Make absolute trash sets over and over, and make them so fast that non-competitive players hardly have a break or chance to get into them? Sure. Magic is a cash cow that is fast burning itself out. The game is trying to compete with autistic shit like Hearthstone. It will die soon, and hopefully it will die with some shred of its dignity remaining.

Probably not, though.

(Of course I'm not a native speaker.)

A lot of those are loanwords, though - which isn't a bad thing, mind you, but might be one of the reasons your grapheme-phoneme relationships are all over the place. Day to day vocabulary is a lot more limited, which makes it easy and manageable for non-natives. I don't doubt you've got plenty of fancier words - I'm a big fan of obscure and forgotten terms in my own tongue -, but the basic vocabulary is well, pretty basic and easy to pick up on. Short words, unfrequent use of synonyms, etc. So it's easy to learn, hard to master, I'd say.

I don't like how english sounds,
but that's a matter of tastes. It's very good as a lingua franca and its litterature is probably very interesting, but I'm having a hard time appreciating its sonorities. Also, you killed Jeanne, you monsters.

Buying Magic Boosters is pointless, just do not do it, believe me.

If you need a card for constructed, buy a single, it is much more cheaper than get it randomly. If you're playing limited, you're buying boosters when registering to tournament automatically.
Boosters as separate product is a trap for newbies and money gain for wizards.

Infinity is a 28mm scale futuristic skirmish game by Corvus Belli where you have to watch your step on an ice planet, or else you'll end up in the Wong Neighborhood.

I'll be honest, that polls results were pretty skewed due to the shortness of that thread, but i still think putting it up friday is best.

Sunday may be our busiest day, but both saturday and sunday are when people and 4chan in general are most active. Also, people may want advice before actually going into a game the next day, so having it up a little earlier isn't a bad idea.

Its not necessary to try and start threads at our peak time. In fact, that'd make the rest of the thread even slower, and harder to keep up. Friday and saturday are slow, but ramp up and allow a good amount of topics to start, and sunday gets in full swing, and by monday or tuesday, if the thread dies, we can put it back up on friday, with a few days in between to cool off. We've got a good flow goin, no need to break it.

>One Piece RPG by The Beard
Somewhat complete system, with quite a few cool ideas, but it might need some work to get all the more recent information from the series. Also relies heavily on the GM for rulings on custom content. A more crunchy but lite take on the series.

>>56860358
Numenera DM here. It advertises I itself as rules lite but it's really not. It's more rules-bland. As I said here >>56860188, everything boils down to things having a 1-10 level and the players roll a d20 against the TN.
Character creation boils down to "I am a [adjective (Brash, Swift, Clever,gives a couple small bonuses and a hindrance)] [noun (fighter, thief, or mage)] who [verbs (these are either really cool, like having lightning or gravity powers, or they're lame, like shooting arrows really well or dual welding)]
Character options are largely "get a plus when doing this thing" or "do some damage when you do a thing." They're simple but not interesting.
The core of the game are cyphers, basically one-use magic items that the GM is meant to give out like candy (players can only hold so many at a time or bad stuff happens, from illness to implosion). Some are basic, like weapon enhancements or magic grenades or potions, others are really powerful (one is a nuclear rinse that kills everything in a ten-mile radius with radiation). Since they're one-use only, they're (intentional) not very balanced. If the players nuke a city, they have to deal with the consequences.

As for the setting, as multiple people have pointed out, it's not bad, it's just nothing new. The current era is built on the remains of several billion years worth of past civilizations, so technology is commonplace but not necessarily well understood. Somehow most everyone is human, though. There's kings and bandits and queens and a mystical unknown adventure area, it's generic fantasy painted over with a sci-fi brush. A lot of things that I wanted to know more about are left really vague, telling GMs "it's your story!! Do what you want!"

I love the game for what it is, generic science fantasy with an easy-to-use system, but I don't pretend it's the best one ever. We have fun with it, but we also play a lot of different stuff. If the book is cheap, get it. I wouldn't buy it full price.
>>
>>56853147
Its rad, you need to use the cypher book for some fixes like armor, and the two character addon books are essential

That's saying you'd rather be kicked in the kidney than stabbed in them, when the option not to have to do either is on the table. WotC doesn't care that there are worse things to worry about, they care that the average player doesn't like anything coming anywhere near their kidneys. It was asked why WotC stopped printing stuff like that, and that's the answer.

Wehraboos-

Can late war SS and Heer figures be used interchangeably? I'm wanting to put together a late war Heer platoon in the reversible winter uniforms, can I use SS figures and paint the camo side with a Heer print?

From looking at the Osprey plates it appears they're the same other than the color of the camo side (figure #1 in both plates) - am I missing anything there?
>>
>>56863057
The SS wore camo smocks, which were pullovers. The Heer wore their camo zelts like ponchos.

Oops, just noticed you said winter. I'm not as well versed in that, but it should work.

Didn't the Heer have at least some camo uniforms as well (esåecially for panzergrenadiers), though not as common as zeltbahn ponchos?

Many of the "expanded universe" stories written after we figured out how starts work have explained away this discrepancy by saying that the sun did NOT reach the end of its natural life cycle, but that it was prematurely fed upon by certain unimaginably huge manifestations of the Dark Powers.

Meanwhile, Greg Bear's spiritual successor "The City at the End of the World" is set in roughly the year 100 Trillion. The Sun has been artificially rekindled several times, but there are no longer enough resources to keep it up.
