Always a good time, fr, and probably part of why draft is my favorite format now.

4 player magic always felt a better than 3 player parties in a lot of TTRPGs to me as well, plus the odds of everyone having a deck if they played TTRPGs always seemed pretty good, plus some magic players keep loaner decks, etc.

I feel the strong urge to add “and <insert a long list of White Wolf Games here> but honestly I feel like saying VtM covers the whole gamut so that’d be silly and obvs we all knew what you meant.

I’m not bashing it but there’s just so much of it, and a noticeable percentage is characters repeating their nonverbal tics and what the hillside looked like from BFE point A to BFE point B.

Just be warned that that aside from the first book you gotta work through a whole lot of other stuff (some of which is ALSO a delight, like some of the characters being living tarot cards/aspects) you gotta get through as well.

Sword of Vengence one Thieving Otter drawing into Pearl of Wisdom is a kinda glorious way to get utterly fucked in a game of magic, in any case. You take 4 and then realize you have lost shortly after.
(We switched from New Capenna to Bloomburrow precons and I proceeded to get STOMPED)

For clarity: she curved out perfectly and turn luck sacked a bomb once in there (I love draft, that’s one of my favorite ways to lose) in one game, just curved out once, and I kept I 4 land hand and then just kept getting land in another
She also doesn’t hate Sword of Vegence now that she’s used it

Yeah, I wish both of them had had room to not just align with *handwave*
Til said it was ok when I checked in on it a while ago. I hope they’re both thriving.

This seems like it’d match writers with other writers except for the “nope nope NOPE!” factor.

Given how many folks who played back when and are coming back now the “this is staring you dead in the eyes and asking you to find your favorite hoops to jump through” seems like it’d have great deck-building educational value as well.

Fuck, I deleted because I was like “if I only have one thought then repeating it seems spammy.

That seems like an utterly open and shut “Qualified Immunity doesn’t apply here” case as well.

I really appreciate that the 1 cost is there to tempt people into comboing it with “may cast sorceries when you could cast instants” cards.
A little something for Johnny even if discard outlets are *probably* the more effective route.

The time when someone explained “it’s an idiom, so you know how many times ‘death to traffic!’ gets shouted in Arabic and Farsi every day?” will always be with me.

That makes sense.
Holy shit I wish “death to ___” had been translated as “fuck ___” from pre-2001 onwards.

Bombing other people for Israel when they’re not bombing people for us seems a whole lot like a thing Trump would get pissed about the same way he gets mad about trade occurring.

You drink “a” pint of beer while eating fish and chips.

“8 PBR tall boys” doesn’t sound like *that* much and I’m pretty sure a German bachelor party would drink me under the table on accident.

3.78 liters over the course of a 10 pub crawl might seem reasonable to some Germans, yeah.

It’s a really satisfying measure of beer, in the (imperial) pint’s defense.
One will cover an entire order of fish and chips if I’m hungry and 2 will cover an order of I’m “not hungry” but am aware that my body is just lying to me and I should eat.

I sometimes *want* ranch wheat things but I always always *annihilate* a box of rosemary and cracked pepper triscuits.

I suspect that that structure of the triscuits helps electrify the flavorings.

I mean, it’s “payment in $1k of shitcoin”, the question is what type of hoax it is, not whether it’s a hoax.

Looks like it got fixed on appeal.
Always appeal bad labeling, it’s on of the main levers that the mods have for correcting Hive’s villainy.

I need to fox up the lining/pockets on the leather jacket I inherited from my stepfather but also it’s quite possibly older than I am and otherwise in glorious shape, yeah.
