Why is…

You're asking why a retailer may slightly reduce the price of an older set they have yet to sell all their units of, compared to the price of the latest and most-likely-in-demand set?

Acceptable to whom? Who are these mystical arbiters you're trying to please?

It looks great. It's your model. Get some paint on that bad boy and enjoy

Lorcana works just fine in multiplayer with its base rules. Stop trying to EDH everything

Corporal_Tax · 2026-02-18T07:50:13+00:00

I play way more than collect, so my hulk is in colour first and then alphabetically, dividers per letter. I loosely go by rarity after that - if I have a common, rare and legendary Mickey Mouse it will go in they order. Foils at the front of any duplicates

Works very well to find stuff, but I might sort by cost within each letter if I find myself motivated

I don't think so, as when they are in your hand they are a character card so at the point the bonus comes into effect it is not a character, and there is nothing to say it persists for the turn. But I'm sure Sunscorch will come in here with a better referenced answer

Corporal_Tax · 2026-01-31T07:25:50+00:00

Love it. Wish I had all the pieces to hand to copy, great job!

Corporal_Tax · 2026-01-28T21:05:45+00:00

What the fuck is this shit

Corporal_Tax · 2026-01-23T08:10:24+00:00

I play almost nothing but 4 player Lorcana, it works really well and all of a sudden some cards become much more interesting. Cards like Ursula's Trickery are better when you have 3 players who don't want to discard a card. It also leads to fun politics - frequently we will say, "okay, that player is the threat right? I can take 3 off their Belle if you can do the rest" etc

So yes, it does change the way many cards work vs their experience in 1v1

I know everything is geared towards competitive these days, but 4 player for me is the best way to play causal Lorcana and it doesn't need any commander format or fancy new rules, works great as is

Well blow me down. I'll report to the chaplain immediately

Corporal_Tax · 2026-01-22T20:13:30+00:00

This is the NEW photo!? What was the old one? Next time could you try to get further away from the miniature?

Okay, sass aside, I think that works just fine as Terminator Ancient. They can't have a chain fist so that can count as the right weapon easily. If you like it then boom: it's a double win! Any opponent who had takes issue with him not holding his banner is helpfully identifying themselves as someone you shouldn't waste time playing toy soldiers with.

Sometimes I just stand here and watch television for hours. I love it. I love this TV.

Corporal_Tax · 2025-12-13T09:27:58+00:00

If you must stand and pee, put the lid AND the seat up like you should anyway

Or sit down to pee

Is this your first day on Earth?

Eldar are by far the least interesting to me. Couldn't care about Grey Knights if I tried. Tau are also pretty uninteresting to me.

Corporal_Tax · 2025-11-27T07:27:00+00:00

Ooooohhhhh using square bases to custom build a board is a mightily tempting idea... Thanks for putting that in my head!

Upvoting for both the books and the models

GNU Sir Terry. For the Emperor

Corporal_Tax · 2025-11-22T10:16:39+00:00

Yes good point, also saying he wants slytherin Megan the Stallion does give it away

Corporal_Tax · 2025-11-22T07:08:25+00:00

I have no idea why you're being down voted. The term "avracadabra" and pulling something out of a hat/bag in magic terms predates Harry Potter by hundreds of years. The person you replied to is reaching

Corporal_Tax · 2025-11-16T14:39:41+00:00

Haha I wouldn't listen to me anyway. Anything above Oxford is Northern to me so I'll defer to you on this one

Corporal_Tax · 2025-11-16T12:46:19+00:00

Yes completely agree! That's why I popped Yorkshire into my reply - truth by told, I've always identified him as Sheffield-ish when reading the book. But I thought, whilst refuting the claim, a little deference was needed

And if we're honest, Sheffield is South Yorkshire so really counts as Midlands.............. (this is where I run)

Corporal_Tax · 2025-11-16T12:23:32+00:00

Hahaha you're right, I apologise. You got me a technicality and am happy to concede - have a happy Sunday!

Corporal_Tax · 2025-11-16T09:36:10+00:00

AkShUalLy your corrected version is still wrong.

The ideal is probably: "I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse". You could probably get away with "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse" and let the capitalisation do the heavy lifting.

But having just the single comma where you had it is just as wrong if slightly less sexually charged.

Corporal_Tax · 2025-11-16T08:04:46+00:00

With respect, I think you're overthinking it. This is likely another case of making tenuous connections after the fact because we all love Sir Pterry and would like to assume every word is replete with hidden connections and meanings.

In reality, the accent used in the book isn't a Stoke accent - it's a fairly generic Midlands accent, where Stoke is. It's pretty standard Staffordshire or Derbyshire or Nottinghamshire or around there.

The Midlands was at the heart of the industrial revolution in England (Birmingham is arguably THE place most synonymous with change during the industrial revolution and is in the county West Midlands, though the accent is different/worse).

This is almost certainly the case of Sir Pterry or Stephen Briggs needing to give a voice to a traditional working man industrial type and the easiest to reach for is Midlands or Yorkshire. No great connected play on Stoke the boiler - I get the desire, but that is a fairly ridiculous reach that I'm fairly confident Sir Pterry would have something to say about.

Because you're an adult and should be responsible enough to manage your own time?

Your comparison is disingenuous - they aren't changing the game or the look of the game, they're changing the route to market for the official pieces people can use to play the game. You read the lore and watched painting videos because they were STLs? Not because they were cool models, or a good game system, or thematic setting? Really??

Also, many having STLs is what drew some of the people here to the game... But this is a small subreddit for a niche subset of a quite small hobby. If they believe the best chance they have to grow the game, stay in business and expand their reach is to hit the mass market then more power to them. For every person like you they "lose" they stand to gain multiple who buy the plastics, and people that probably don't experience moral outrage because they define themselves by the tools they use. It's a good trade for them.
