The Gaming Den

They added the four-copies-max stipulation around the same time. You read that Foglio comic, before? With the deck made of 40 Rukh Eggs? They weren't getting cute with hyperbole or anything, you could just do that. It doesn't work anymore, even if you could run 60-of, because at some point the orac...

When the mill engine doesn't kill, it sometimes gets used on yourself. When it can.


This is a card in Legacy

I think you probably want something like Mafia, where you have turns that rotate at specific real times. Players talk among themselves and declare actions during the turn. They can change their declarations whenever they want during this time. When the "bell rings", everyone's declared act...

A note regarding sex toys: http://dangerouslilly.com/toxictoys/

(All three of the manufacturers mentioned are on the "trustworthy" list)

[*] Thus, minimum wage, at least in NYC, should be at least $20/hr The point here should be that Federal Law is not the best, or even a possible, remedy for problems exclusive to one of the two or three highest standard of living cost locations in the country. The federal minimum wage should be set...

Here's my math: People who work more than 40 hours a week get less done per week than those who work 40 hours a week. Thus, we shouldn't encourage people to work more than 40 hours a week. Thus, people should be able to live and support their families on 40 hours of wages a week. That's approximatel...

If Digimon has a TTRPG rulesset, I'll at least take a look at Digimon despite knowing almost nothing about the series. Digimon is about kids with pet demons that come from the Internet. Many of the demons resemble machines. The kids use portable electronic devices to empower their demons and do som...

is it possible to design a digital ccg that's not p2w (but still profitable) and if so, how? Pay-to-Play: you will never encounter an opponent you can gain an advantage over by spending money, because non-payers are excluded from the sample set. Sponsorship: someone else pays you, such as an advert...

According to my research, TF2 is almost not P2W.

... Hat Fortress, though, is apparently pretty P2W.

You don't know what pay-to-win means. so what does it mean? as far as i know there is no widely accepted definition and without one your dispute is a bit silly. to me a game is pay-to-win if players cannot compete at the highest level unless they pay. this doesn't seem to be the case in hearthstone...

It could plausibly be a sexy human that doesn't bathe. Or that uses skunk spray as perfume. That's not a very inviting prostitute, of course, but still, a hole is a hole, even if that hole is probably diseased. That's what condoms are for. I would imagine that it would be difficult to fuck while in...

So any creature that has, for example, an incapacitating stench, is not one that can be convincingly polymorphed into a human. However sexy it looks , it will still have an incapacitating stench. It could plausibly be a sexy human that doesn't bathe. Or that uses skunk spray as perfume. That's not ...

I thought the den consensus was, "GURPS sourcebooks are the best at what they do, even if you're playing a different system." That sounds like a strong endorsement to me.

Has anyone requested or done "Maid" yet? I've heard people talking about it, but I barely know anything about it.

Unclear but probably not in most formats. The ability to do more off just one land and the increased storm/prowess counts without sacrificing power just seem so good . Maybe if you were in a format where auras (2-for-1) and/or expensive equips (time walk you) were popular, or where people played lot...

I suppose I'll just plop out my whole argument instead of trying to be clever: no card is ever objectively good. Cards are only good in context. The last two Pro Tours (Origins and Dragons of Tarkir) were won by players with decks that contained as many copies of Lightning Strike as they were allowe...

Wasn't there something about every Baali having the hypnosis power and every Dryad having the potion power, and something else for Khaibits, as their 'identity'?

Let's be honest - the only thing that "bad cards" do is get the creators of the game more money, because they can replace good cards in booster packs, causing people to buy more in their quest for good cards. That's the only acceptable reason for their existence. Making up any other excus...

Two LEDs into The Cheese Stands Alone turn 1 sounds nice. Wouldn't work. You discard your hand before you get to use the mana. You'd need to do it turn 2. Turn 1 Ebon Stronghold and two LEDs, turn two sac it out for a Demonic Tutor and 6 white mana. You win the game on turn 3 upkeep unless your opp...

Yeah, I've been meaning to ask about that for a long time- Shouldn't Lion's Eye have already been finding use as tutor support? Tutor on the stack, Lion's Eye on the stack. You discard your hand and float 3, then Tutor goes off and you fetch a game ending finisher so you don't really care about the...

Over the history of MtG there has been no shortage of powerful commons. 15 commons that are currently banned or restricted in at least one eternal format . Every single one of them banned or restricted for being too powerful, or for reducing the impact of restricting cards that are powerful. 25 unc...

Even though it's where Leia grew up her response to the genocide of her entire world and family is somewhat muted and she gets over it far quicker than Luke does the death of a creepy old man his uncle had long warned him away from. That's because Leia is a hardened badass with political experience...

so far everything has been a case of googling shit and then doing command-line bullshit every step of the way. Fuck, there's a lot of trouble involved with the PC Master Race. When I started using Linux, I dual-booted because I was afraid of exactly this. Eventually, I wound up using Linux all the ...
