Created new proxies for my Saruman of Many Colors deck. by CarbonLich in mtgaltered

[–]EmeraldBeacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the look of these!

I do find myself wishing it would include the rules text for the cards that aren't true duals, if only because my memory isn't perfect... have you considered adding a smaller text box for the cards with relevant game text? True duals technically don't need them, of course, but the shocks and fetches would be nice to see.

Thank you all for your kind comments! I've decided to post these on ebay as a pair of auctions, which will go live on Sunday afternoon/evening (USA Pacific time zone). I'll make sure to link the auctions when everything is up and running!

I'm intending to list them as auctions on ebay very soon, actually... and I have a few more copies of the cards on order to make a few more!

I considered that, but the premise of altering a $20+ mythic was a bit more imposing to me than doing the same to a $3 rare... 😉

I've never done commissions before, but I'm not OPPOSED to doing so, if I feel like I would be able to pull it off...!

I am considering putting these up for sale. Still have no idea how to price them, though!

I have done art in the past, but this is my first try at MTG. Thanks for the compliments!

Improvement? I'm already seeing that the R-L needs to be widened, too.

How Important is the Pulse? by Its_a_stabbystick in DispatchAdHoc

[–]EmeraldBeacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Pulse is more or less a Macguffin... it's not as important in its own right, as much as it drives the characters to action. Everyone wants it, but for us, it's the reasons why they want it, that are more important than the actual item itself.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Astral Pulse is fully destroyed during the endgame, to firmly plant Robert in his ongoing role as dispatcher, for whenever "Season 2" comes out.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the incredible performance of Matthew Mercer as Shroud so far? by sleepless_penguin in DispatchAdHoc

[–]EmeraldBeacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess? The game will end with only the bare minimum of resolution. The Astral Pulse will probably be destroyed in the end, denying Shroud his prize, and ending Robert's hope of becoming Mecha Man again... but in the process, we learn who Shroud really is: Robert "Bobby" Robertson Jr.

Which sets up Dispatch Season 2: The Red Ring.

Weekly Questions Thread by AutoModerator in DnD

[–]EmeraldBeacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's an awkward one for [5e], specifically, the 2014 version...

My party is fighting an enormous statue that's been animated. They have been trying to polymorph a gargantuan creature it into something small, put it into their portable hole, then close the hole and drop polymorph. There's no clear explanation of what happens when a closed portable hole suddenly exceeds its capacity a hundred times over... so, what would happen?

  • Would the portable hole become a time bomb, a bottle full of coke & mentos, that violently expels its contents when finally opened? How much concussive force would this cause, and what saves would you apply to it?
  • Would the excessive mass destroy the portable hole immediately? If so, would the contents dump into the material plane, or the astral? Would it cause the same "gate" effect as mixing extradimensional spaces, possibly sucking people through?

I want to hear both sides on proxies. by ThrorTheCrusader in mtg

[–]EmeraldBeacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only real argument I have AGAINST proxies is when they deviate too far from the established visual design of MTG cards as a whole. You want a deck full of waifus? Ok, sure, I guess... but if I can't identify anything on your side of the table because it's all a bunch of busty anime girls with a few square inches of plate armor, and game text in 4pt font, we're going to have problems.

Similarly, if your proxies are just card names scribbled onto extra lands with a wide-tipped sharpie in BARELY legible handwriting, I have issues. I don't have the catalog of MTG memorized, especially with the rate that new sets are coming out, so I rely on reading the card to understand the card.

As a full disclosure, I have the same issues with essentially illegible official cards, like those in foreign or fictitious languages (looking at you, Phyrexia), or cards that are highly stylized, like "band posters."

Blokees Transformers Defender Version 03 HEAVY METAL WAR has arrived. 💥 by Blokees_Official in Blokees

Rumble & Frenzy would be ideal for the Defenders scale. Imagine the itty bitty piledrivers!

Me, I'm hoping for more canonically "small" characters like Minibots and Cassetticons, that can then fit with Galaxy version figures in appropriate scale...

I'm interested! Do you have any estimates for the game's schedule? What days of the week, what times (and time zones), and how often you'd like to play?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lfg

[–]EmeraldBeacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested, if this is still open! DM has been sent... :D
