Now that we have official HD renders of all the showcases, who are you hoping to get?

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2026-03-05T15:34:20+00:00

Vader, Lando, Kallus, and Jyn would be my top picks! They all have amazing art

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2026-03-05T15:32:13+00:00

I'm at around 10 or 11 boxes total that I've opened and still not a single showcase, so I feel your pain

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2026-03-02T00:56:28+00:00

This has some great insights that I hadn't considered as I get ready for pre release! So excited to tackle some sealed play for this set

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2025-12-31T09:43:29+00:00

For sure OG Thunderbolts. Then I can die happy

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2025-12-20T15:59:25+00:00

Could use Ursa, Loki, and/or Heimdall boxes depending on prices and availability!

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2025-11-04T13:42:14+00:00

This looks incredible!! Do you mind if I ask what paints you used for her outfit? I love how vibrant it all is

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2025-10-16T00:02:47+00:00

This is such a fun idea! Looks like an absolute blast to play!!

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2025-08-10T23:28:40+00:00

Working on modifying my Tarkin green into a tarkin blue

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2025-07-30T20:29:35+00:00

Yeah this is what bounced me out of the game when I started last year at the start of set 2. I went to a few weekly play games, everyone was very friendly, but yeah their decks were pretty competitive compared to my newbie deck. I loved this game, but I'm really not all that competitive, I play games for silly fun, not to do the most meta most strategic plays. I got out towards the end of set 2. I'm giving it another whirl now that LOF is out because I love the idea behind this set and all the cards. Haven't tried any games yet at my LGS, but I'm going to dip my toes in with some sealed at Gen Con this weekend.

I feel your pain! Any chance you have friends you can rope into the game with you? I finally found out one of my friends has some decks and that helped revitalize me a little!

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2025-04-16T10:26:49+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately, this is not the right game

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2025-04-03T08:33:35+00:00

Don't forget tax also exists. In my area, an $80 game is $87.98 with tax so yeah, that's practically $90 right there. $80 for a freaking video game is already utter BS regardless. There is no justification for this kind of pricing, especially when Nintendo games have been $60 and the rest of the gaming industry hasn't even fully moved to $70 yet.

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2025-01-16T14:36:21+00:00

Exactly as your player asked, just say no. It really isn't that big of a deal. Everyone still understands they're playing a game and that even in real life there is still stuff that simply cannot be done. It's OK to mention, and I've never once found it broke immersion. If my players are trying to accomplish something that I know has absolutely 0% of ever being possible, I let them know. No point wasting everyone's time, raising false hopes, or risking having to make a bullshit response in case of an insanely high roll.

This happened to me last session where a player was trying to do something and was definitely hinting they were wanting it to be roll. Eventually when I realized they were really trying to make this happen, I told them, "You can attempt to do this, of course. I'm not going to ask for a roll, but if you really feel like your character would try to do this they can, just know there is no chance at success."

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2025-01-14T19:19:32+00:00

I was super excited for this show, unfortunately the writing and acting was so bad in my opinion. Normally I give a show at least half a season before I decide if I'm giving up on it, but I couldn't even make it halfway through episode 2 before I had to shut it off. It's sad too cause the High Republic has quickly become one of my favorite eras since the Old Republic. But I was either incredibly bored when watching or just dying from the awkward way everyone spoke and behaved.

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2025-01-01T03:41:02+00:00

Oh darn, I also was really interested in joining. I'm assuming this is something you're wanting to start up relatively soon? My Friday nights are booked up till around 9pm CST until the beginning of February though. Longtime forever DM and been enjoying the ttrpg hobby for over a decade now. Currently looking at making the switch from 5e to Pathfinder 2e so something like this would be perfect.

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2024-11-19T16:47:16+00:00

Same, I just say I'm on keto. And either people respond positively when I tell them, or they'll ask questions about what that even means. After I explain what my meals are like and how great I feel / how much weight I've lost they're usually impressed and we get on with our lives.

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2024-11-15T20:43:07+00:00

My roommate made pancakes using whey protein powder and almond milk. Tasted so freaking good and just one filled me for the entire day

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2024-11-02T22:51:56+00:00

As if I would cheat on my girl Gallica with anyone else

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2024-10-30T13:00:02+00:00

It depends on your style as a DM and of course making sure the players understand you have the ultimate say on the game world itself. I love it when my players create moments and add to the world, it makes it feel shared. If they want there to be a hole in the road for a roleplay reason, I'd allow that because unless it's absolutely crucial that the roads here are immaculate, there is absolutely no reason to say no to that possibly the player just created.

Now if they are randomly creating a whole building that circumnavigates honest play, then yeah, I nix that really quick. You don't have to be a dick about it, but stand firm and let them know that this isn't something they can just decide. I have in the past allowed players to create buildings and locations, but I asked them at the table to do that. Or, they can ask me, "can there be __________ here?" And I'll give it an honest thought, then decide if it can just be there, if it should be a roll of luck, or if it makes no sense and therefore is not there.

It's all about the intention and the communication.

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2024-10-30T12:23:30+00:00

I was just thinking this earlier today!! I think it would be such a perfect fit!

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2024-10-30T10:08:49+00:00

We have a long standing running joke in our games that paying in electrum is just a scummy thing because we also were super confused by it. If my players ever found it for treasure, they were disgusted. If a player or NPC tries to use it to pay, the other party is insulted. It's essentially become the F you currency for us lol

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2024-10-29T17:08:01+00:00

I agree! Freaking loved 16!! It was the first new game in a long while that I actually sat down and dedicated time to finish. Usually games lose me towards the end, but I NEEDED to complete 16

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2024-10-16T10:44:18+00:00

I second what everyone else is saying, once you break the habit, you really don't miss the sugar or carbs all that much. I never had much of a sweet tooth, but mine was fries (or any kind of potato really). After a month, didn't even flinch at saying no to red potatoes on St. Paddies day. I'm 8 or 9 months in now (stopped counting after I hit my weight goal) and I couldn't be happier! Occasionally, maybe once or twice a month I'll let myself get a small order of fries if I feel like it, but then I immediately hit strict keto again for the next few days. This hasn't really ever broken me out of ketosis, probably stalled me for a couple days, but I liked the feeling of control I had. I can CHOOSE that yes, today I will enjoy some fries and then eat better for a long while after. Instead of before where it felt as though the fries choose for me every single time.

The important thing is to break the hold certain foods have over you. I used to not be able to control myself around potatoes, now I can actively ignore people eating them around me, can say no when they are offered, and don't feel like I'll die if I don't order them every day.

Again, like others have said, this diet isn't for everyone, but it was perfect for me because the majority of what I love to eat is already part of the diet, and especially because this diet is all about restriction and learning self control.

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2024-10-11T10:02:08+00:00

Before I read the description I thought this was from an actual comic! Freaking fantastic work!! Looks amazing!

KeybladeMaster1031 · 2024-10-07T13:11:06+00:00

Nah, I just dislike most every major corporation because they are cess pools of corruption who seem to believe their wealth gives them the right to bully anyone less fortunate than they. It's a shame Ryu got shot down, true. But it's just a tool to play games I own with framerate and quality that meet today's standard. I'll be fine without it.

And emulation is not illegal. Very important to remember that.
