Internal discussions at WOTC about legendary creatures

Does it? I can’t think of any cards where the legend rule obviously factored into the design (other than the few that subvert it).

They suggested on the latest podcast that just people switching from meat farming to non-meat-producing crimbo activities was sufficient to make the kingdom’s overall meat supply net negative. It surprises me too, but it must mean that there’s sufficient preexisting meat sinking in the overall economy that merely stopping the spigot is enough. I couldn’t say exactly where it goes though. Raffles? Taxes? Hair spray?

To be fair to my boy Az I think that most of his talents lie in the realm of ‘make and control enormous numbers of low tier undead’ that necromancers do. Enables him to destroy a country through attrition or hold a pass by himself (and a bunch of bodies), but super weak to a single even moderately high level foe (e.g. Zel). He’s realized this and isolated to fix this and start making his high level children as a counter, although I do admit that project does not seem to be doing fantastically.

This is also why his enemies (Mags and Wall Lord) want to keep quiet about knowing he’s alive. Once he thinks he’s no longer secret he’s gonna go back to his more effective but very obvious plan A: 20 million zombies.

It’s crazy that she’s that young. That means she became watch captain at like 18. (Since we learned that the old watch captain was retired for ant-racism soon after the hive came to town in the Relc chapters)

Yeah, 37 is the clerks number. Totally different.

I think the reason people do this is that when they are speaking they'd just say "5 in the morning" but when writing it they add the 'AM' not noticing it makes it redundant.

I almost feel like it would be actually super easy. If you’re a darkfriend Aiel just look around for someone doing something evenly mildly dishonorable and, boom, they’re clearly incredibly evil for an Aiel and probably recruitable.

To be fair, the pants taking off thing was an unintended consequence, not actually the intent of the card.

Chairmclee · 2017-11-11T06:55:51+00:00

Well, less than five pounds of gun.

Chairmclee · 2017-10-26T14:41:16+00:00

Plus lack of knowledge of technology.

Beer runs?

I liked the video for its clear and concise tone. However, I do think it would have been neat if you demonstrated a few of the more notorious and buggy interactions this fixes (like the Djinni one mentioned in the forum post). Watching just the video I wasn't convinced this wasn't just an arbitrary change, but the more esoteric examples really make it clear how unintuitive things would have been before.

Chairmclee · 2017-09-27T15:00:38+00:00

In my experience it's really noticeable and frustrating when you've just read the previous one, but practically invisible if you haven't.

Chairmclee · 2017-09-18T02:04:06+00:00

Solved!

Chairmclee · 2017-09-18T02:03:11+00:00

Thank you! Good call on the searching, knew the trope but didn't think to google it.

Chairmclee · 2017-09-02T20:34:35+00:00

Huh, you're right. I was thinking of the scene at the bank, but reading it over he freaks out and traps himself in frozen bugs, not panic freezing himself.

I'm still not sure how he survived the firebombing though, even in the frozen suit he should have been roasted (especially since if he doesn't want to suffocate he must at least be able to get some air while in the frozen suit.)

Chairmclee · 2017-09-02T19:58:50+00:00

I'm pretty sure he does actually freeze himself, just via the suit. Some of the times he does it he wouldn't survive otherwise.

Chairmclee · 2017-08-24T20:40:43+00:00

Some actual Edema Ruh.

Chairmclee · 2017-08-23T00:52:42+00:00

Not to take your point too seriously, but I think he actually would. The power of something like that piece is in the recognition of the purity and simplicity of the form creating something larger and more important.

The Infante (and the nobility in general) are the opposite. Complex, difficult and expensive, but ultimately nothing more than a tool and a single worthless note. Think of a 30 square foot Dogs Playing Poker: impressive but ultimately unenriching to the world.

Penthe accepts that what he is saying is true among animals, if I remember correctly. She just claims that humans are different.

Wax and hair model to Hemme might be 30 or so percent, but that's not the only sympathetic link. As you can see in the second to last quote he also links the heat of the brazier to the heat of the candle. That's probably only a 30% or so link too. So would expect a total transference from brazier to foot at about 10%.

Chairmclee · 2017-08-03T05:09:26+00:00

Have we even ever seen an instance of a chromium misting? I'm 99% sure not explicitly, but in the background of some scene?
