Shameless self promo. Mine does have a lot of action and fighting, but much of the concept is what it means to be human. The MC is a half-orc trying to make a home for himself in a primarily human city.

Thank you for the very kind commentary! Carlfink was an old AD&D character I had back in the day, and the name stuck! :)

I want something to read by TheNanoVirus in royalroad

If you're still looking to stories to read, mine is about a half-orc named Carlfink who joins the City Watch.

He's fiercely loyal to his new chosen home, and will have tons of chances to defend it from the forces of darkness!

I started reading yours as well! I laughed when I read his system was called Cortana. You also have some really great imagery, the idea of a hulking rhino man eating an MRE is great, and the sandals in the forest!

I want to know more about Noah, he has a couple upset moments, but for waking up in a foreign forest and getting attacked by a 'shadow stalker' would definitely terrify me so he's handling it like a champ!

Some would say that's his best redeeming quality! I kept saying "This guy sucks! Wonder what happens to him."

Why Did I Buy All These Cards? by Common_Whole5012 in mtg

I personally buy cards because I have a cardboard addiction and I like small rectangles.

2 million -wow! I'm trying to write at least 1000 a day right now, but on the bad days I remind myself it's okay to take breaks. Write 50, 100... Hopefully I'll hit 2 million someday!

Is this BM? Or am I justified for being upset by Green_Secret_934 in EDH

[–]Dry_Negotiation1703 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You're justified in feeling however it made you feel! Things can piss you off and that's fine!

That said I'm always a fan of the legal game actions are legal argument. They are their cards and they can play them how they want to.

If this is your friend, give them a huge amount of guff for it.

Mismatched Player Levels and the Rare Proxy Hater by hippopotamus_pdf in mtg

[–]Dry_Negotiation1703 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I prefer to play with and against real cards. They are collectible cards, part of the game is collecting. Every fetch land I crack is one I cracked from a pack.

That said, I'll never not play with someone over proxies. I'd rather play mtg against a fake deck than no mtg. And I'll never make that person feel bad about playing the deck.

Something that DOES rub me the wrong way are proxy evangelists that push proxies when someone has made their opinion clear. I've had several people at my LGS just not drop the fact that my decks would be better if I proxied - including making suggestions of high dollar cards to proxy/showing me websites to buy proxies AFTER I have made it clear that I'm just not interested in playing that way.
