It's not even playable. It says right there: "Requires Lupus", and it's not lupus. it's never lupus. It's an ally, so the requirements are that you have to have one of your characters meet the requirement when you play the card. Every character is Lupus, Homid, or Metis at the beginning o...

Newest studies show a correlation of covid-19 mortality and air pollution. Speculative causes for this are victims whose lungs are weakened from respirable dust and the possibility that respirable dust makes the virus last longer in breathable air. That would make sense, but the evidence is very we...

Rage has multiple cards that cannot be played because the list of requirements is so stringent that none of the characters in the set meet them. What cards couldn't be played? As someone who played this game a lot when it came out, I don't recall ever encountering a card I couldn't find a way to pl...

If I'm reading this correctly, instead of having Werewolf A from Clan B cards, and needing lots of cards to make up all the combinations you could want, could they have instead designed things so that you have a Werewolf A card, which can have (or must have) some Clan card or other to go with it, a...

If we actually need to know your blood type, it's normally because we're either taking blood from you for transfusion purposes or giving blood to you for transfusion purposes. In either case, a sample of your blood gets taken as a "group and save" that gets tested for a lot more proteins a...

this game is about fighting Captain Planet villains and having sex with dogs I don't suppose there's some obvious reason why they included the latter in their Werewolf CCG, or Werewolf in general? I mean, whether or not you think werewolves should be into that, from a marketing point of view it see...

China letting the science out instead of blackbagging scientists and doctors would not have made the United States take the situation seriously, because Trump. Nor would it have put Italy in a better place because they ended up getting infected through a land route most people forget they even have....

It's kind of amazing to me how much this is "basically Theros." I understand that Theros is "basically fantasy Ancient Greece plus D&D tropes" so to an extent a certain amount of convergent evolution was inevitable. But this does seem to go a little bit farther than that. The...

So the CCP muzzled the scientist the expert on covid19? https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/how-china-muzzled-its-bat-woman-beijing-authorities-hushed-up-the-findings-of-a-scientist-who-unlocked-the-genetic-make-up-of-the-coronavirus-within-days-of-the-outbreak-which-is-vital-for-tests-and-vaccin...

Saw news of people violating social distance to hold funerals in New York City, along with news of NYC cops man handling social distance violators at the metro. So can you really pay off the new york police to hold public close-distance events? Probably? But I think it's more likely that you can ju...

Both of them are correct. The schools do need to stay closed for the rest of the year, and the Mayor of New York does not have jurisdiction over all the school districts in the New York Metropolitan Area. And indeed, since the metro extends across state lines, Cuomo doesn't have that authority eithe...

It's also really hard to do a sympathetic Ares-expy. His myth-presence alternates between a bumbling bully and a horrifying personification of all the inhumanities of war. Considering how many people bust a nut at the thought of marching soldiers around, I don't think a sympathetic Ares is that har...

Certainly. But European werewolves aren't really part of any extant culture, AFAIK. There's no real group left to insult or misrepresent or anything. Also, hasn't "were" become a very generic term for that sort of thing, not limited to European ideas? I don't know what the cultural term f...

How long does it take for one to completely detox from Caffeine intake? How long would i have to not consume any Caffeine to have it have an effect on me on consumption again? It varies a lot. Usually one to two months. Your caffeine tolerance is mostly reset about a week after you stop having with...

This guy sees a lot of play because of Embercleave: https://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=473082&type=card Basically, when you have a bunch of rando Satyrs lying around, you canplay Embercleave in the middle of combat for only 2 mana. Embercleave gives Anax +2 Power becau...

Anax has a low-key Grandeur effect:



When you play the second Anax you get 4 Satyrs.

RadiantPhoenix, please stop copying Kaelik's mad rantings. I have him on ignore because he's a mental case who constantly argues in bad faith. What the ever loving fuck does Cuomo's stance on Medicaid disbursement have to do with comparisons of mayor actions in the nation's two densest cities? Cuomo...

The First War was waged, causing great devastation on both sides. As the last of the Dragonlords fell, a new pantheon of Five Gods came down from heaven to prevent the Titans from destroying all. I know that this is ultimately a minor point, but: fucking seriously ? The dragonlords die and then new...

As we can see with the absolutely horrifying virus responses enacted by Republicans at all levels of government, there is an absolutely titanic difference between the shittiest Democrat and the most noble Republican. But... bureaucratic competence still matters. The difference between a competent De...

The fact that the current Magic the Gathering set is based on Ancient Greece (and is in turn a return to the relevant plane first published in 2013) makes the entire fantasy Greece with D&D tropes thing feel a lot less interesting.

<t>The "no something from nothing" restriction has been floated in a lot of games and settings as if it was a serious limitation. The fact that there's literally always air and dirt around you and that limitation means absolutely nothing seems to be completely missed by a lot of people.<br/> <br/> -...

it is factually true that the wealth by level numbers aren't high enough to deliver the experience people want in the level range of 5-10, which is a surprisingly big problem considering home much people gravitate to exactly that level range of play for other reasons. I think one of the reasons peo...

Boris is in stable condition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ObqYGQPyYo Well, according to The Guardian he's still in Intensive Care. There are certainly reasons to spend two nights strait in the Intensive Care Unit, and it's possible that they are afraid to step down the Prime Minister because no...

Being put on a ventilator is always bad news. Lung function is permanently in addition to temporarily reduced whenever you do something shitty to the lungs. That's why smoking is so bad for you later in life even if you stop at some point (and why it's even worse when you don't stop). If you need a ...
