It looks like that, it always fricks people over, and it has no shape-changing or mind control abilities. How the frick does anyone ever get fooled by these things? How are you even supposed to use them in a game? More importantly, why can’t I play as one.? I want to destroy the Coalition using my stupid sexy serpent-man trickery, rule over the ruins of New York, and have whatever freaky freaks a dog-headed mansnake dinosaur demon thinks is hot. I want to resink Atlantis and laugh as my enemies perish. I want to trick the vampires of Mexico into eating each other.

I remember him being a prevalent figure in my early /tg/ browsing days. A relic from a time when /tg/ was a place where people went to talk about things they like and cool stuff they were doing.

I miss it so much. I got to watch it die in real-time. Witchdoctors & Warcrimes was one of the last major projects /tg/ tried to do together, and the r-slurred mods banned everyone involved in making it, myself included.

Deadball is one of the more 'tistic games I play and now there's an "expansion" of sorts on Kickstarter.

The game is pretty straightforward, it lets you generate moderately realistic baseball game outcomes using real life statistics. It's p fun in a sort of way.

Board games? RPGs? TCGs?

Secondly, the heavier decision. Over the past few days, and earlier during the initial teaser season, a number of cards for the "The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth" set include characters who are black, or "non-white-European". The response to this has been abhorrent. The majority of our community is welcoming, and very friendly, and we take pride in being a welcoming space for LGBT+ and persons of color. But, people who visited these threads, especially ones about Aragorn, may have seen comments that outright use racial slurs, comments from neo-nazi accounts, comments that are incredibly demeaning to non-white people. We have banned users aggressively for this, but clearly it has not been enough, as even today, the community interference is rampant. Quite frankly, it's upsetting to see this kind of reaction on this sub.

give them a raise for all of their hard work

Ok folks, there no actual card here and the discourse is far from civil, so this thread gets locked.

If you want to be racist, xenophobic, or spout some Alt-right nonsense, kindly go do so in a soundproofed room where we don’t have to deal with it. We’re getting real sick of it here.

There hasn’t been this many bans in this short a time frame since The Proxy Incident, and I’m sure those of you who were around then understand our disappointment.

They went frickin HARD. I think most people were expecting Fable and Invoke Despair but six more on top of that? Including Plaza of Heroes?

Tbh I'm kinda here for it, standard is fricking butt right now.

The mods there already restricted AI posts but since critical role and tabletop ruined DnD it's still full of people whose politics align with bitching about AI

There's good drama in here but I'm too busy ruining my own life to effort post it.

I think I fricked up the link, should be sorted by controversial here

"How is using representation of gear from WW1 any political statement?" ANSWER: Naziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I'm boutta go play 2nd session of our campaign right now, will read this shit afterwards

My group has recurring GURPS JJBA games where we all come in with the most ridiculous characters possible. Once I was "Gangster Mario" and my stand was "Beloved Tomboyish Girl."

Its power was that it had a 2 meter aura of r-sluration that reduced people's IQ by 4 points in GURPS, which correlates to 40 IRL points. Mario was not immune to the aura, and it's actually why he became Gangster Mario. He ended up being tragically killed by Donald Jojo Trump, who's stand was Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

Anyway, I haven't played in a hot minute due to finals, hopefully I'll have some fresh stories for next week's thread.

maybe they have plans or something but at first glance i hate it

i was so looking forward to fable of the mirror breaker, invoke despair, etc rotating in the fall

just keeping the hole alive

Mostly saving the hole, but figured everyone else has weekly discussion we should too.

As a certified neurodivergent I love solitaire games of all kinds. War games are probably my favorite. Most of the Leader games from DVG, D-Day at Omaha Beach, that sort of thing.

I also recently found Deadball through an orange site post. It's a mega neurodivergent dice game that simulates baseball using real life statistics. It's a lot of fun.

plz give feedback on balance, the mottecels are but theyre gross so i am coming to you nerds too

!g*mers i guess?

since ONE i have not been interested in standard at all really, so many annoying decks

like rogues was annoying when it was in standard but it was just one deck, now there's poison, mono-blue, grixis, feels like half the meta is just trying to be as annoying as possible

hope there's some movement with MOM but i dunno, i don't think it's all that likely

maybe i'll just stick to explorer

40k sub overwhelmingly upmarseys (well done) trans space marine faction. Someone notices this is positively received and makes a comment about trolling /r/conservative. Immediate "as a train" post.

Not amazing but funny little slap fight between train and train ally. I'm busy, and lazy, and can't dig much this week.

"Meanwhile, me being guilt tripped by a random anon om the internet, because when I first experienced things like 40k, Pratchett, Lovecraft, I lived in a different part of the world, isolated from the political context and experienced them as pure fiction. And that apparently makes me racist fascist homophobe."

"More as in: "stop trying to tell me I should feel bad for liking the 9 feet tall supermen in a Range Rover's worth of armor".

We get it. "Imperium bad because totalitarianism". Guess what? I don't care. IG is cool, SM are cool, SoBs are cool, let me enjoy my funny soldier game's lore without shoving your political views down my throat. Be an adult and just enjoy the factions blowing eachother up with WMDs because gods are real and they hate you."

"Don't be political" is a dumb statement,the more apt is "Don't shove your personal politics down the consumer's throat.

And realistically you can look at the actions of the central figure,the Emperor,as both being aspiringly visionary or balls in your face dumb and naive."

Thatcher = genocidal race warlord

Disclaimer: I do not play Magic the Gathering or follow it.

The user /u/yhaakol notices something about Magic the Gathering's newest set of cards, March of the Machine (MOM): no white men! However, many claim that this is literally false.

Are any of these white males? You be the judge.

Argument highlights:

One user proclaims Critical Race Theory calls colorblindness racism. In response, another user writes a huge wall of text :marseywoah: proclaiming his belief in colorblindness but also calling people "rightoids" and "schizo racists". One of you, I assume.

Two users argue about the other being racist in a super long thread. The message "Ok, racist. I do wonder, how people like you can exist, bending logic into pretzel to fit anything." is responded to by a 359 word retort, a respectable bussy blasting score ruined by responding further and longer.
