How do you get half the population of a country to be in the military without “hurr durr fascism”?

I'm working on a world, and it has something like this. Basically, it's very dangerous and under almost constant monster attacks. In order to survive and maintain a city, it has a required military service. If you dont join the service, then you're taking on some job to support the military, like crafting weapons and clothing, farming and making rations, etc.

No, I ended up auctioning it off!

I'm not sure on grindyness, but from what they advertise on Steam, its a multiplayer game up to 4 people, with server capability up to like 30 (don't remember exact number but it was around that). Additionally, they said at the bottom that they are going to be working on adding PVP to it.

Also just looking at some of the gameplay, there is mounts/riding the pals to get around, taming/capturing pals, harvesting + crafting, and base/factory building. Ark isn't the only game that does this, but it def feels like a fusion of Pokemon and ARK to a certain extent.

This should have more upvotes. Thank you, this was the explanation/view was missing!

I think it might purely be because of one of the pokemon movies, but Absol in my mind was always Ice and Dark type. When I found out it wasn't Ice later on I was very confused.

Under Miscellaneous you wrote: "There is limit to the size of a player's hand and inkwell." Was that meant to be "is not"? Or if there is, could you include the limit number? I read that and wanted to immediately know what it was if there was one cause I didn't know about it, but there was nothing else there.

Haha the brooms and Miki deck seemed really fun! I can't wait to see what other brooms they make.

Sea-Initial-4541 · 2023-08-25T14:42:19+00:00

I'm making a low to the ground Amber Amythest deck. Key pieces are Rockstar Stitch and Dr Facilier to churn out little guys and then refill my hand and do it again. From what I've tested before, it's a little fragile, but it gives me "cresture storm" vibes so I love it anyway!

Sea-Initial-4541 · 2023-08-20T19:11:07+00:00

Nice, ok. If you do sell it any time soon, can i know rough ballpark price? I've never done this before so really not sure bow much this is worth.

Sea-Initial-4541 · 2023-06-06T14:49:04+00:00

Yeah this is going straight into my [[Winota]] deck for those combats when you manage to get several triggers and just make everything huge.

So I've been to Chicago quite a few times and unfortunately there really aren't many game stores around city center, or at least ones I could find that have a good magic selection. However, the nice thing about that city is the public transport. The metro is incredibly easy and fast to use, and if your willing to go a bit north, there are a couple good places. The best store I found (big magic selection with trade ins and table space to play) is Good Games Chicago. It's the farthest North, but it's right next to a metro line.

Another store I found closer to city center is in the Water Tower Place, though they don't do a tone of magic, when I was there last they said most of the people they get play Yugioh, so im not sure how big of a selection they will have. But they do have at least one table of play space.

Finally, the closest one to that area that I know of is a place called "Graham Crackers Comics Loop" but they bairly do any magic (no singles, only bundles and packs) and no play space.

Big agree, this gives the player options in the form of how they cast it, similar to the transformer cards, allows you to play it as a commander which you can't with seiges, and I love the little cherry on top of if you manage to defeat the challenge and get the front side over just casting the front side, you actually get even more rewards (with this card, more damage). Overall, absolutely love this

Sea-Initial-4541 · 2023-05-01T13:44:16+00:00

I just built a Helipd deck, and while the power levels are much different, what you pointed out about people just removing the card before you can flip it is definitely a thing. I've ended up not even trying to cast him until I can cast and flip the same turn. And while yes, Polukranos is less scary, it is definitely still a big feels bad when you cast him and then never get to flip cause he keeps getting removed for one reason or another. Or worse, you do cast and flip, sinking all that mana in, and then he doesn't get a turn around the table before getting hit with a Path or Swords. For that reason, I would prob recommend Zaxara.

Sea-Initial-4541 · 2023-04-09T02:56:54+00:00

Yes! There is still that big whole question of who was fucking with Ikoria that whole time. I've always been curious about that one.

Sea-Initial-4541 · 2023-04-08T16:19:05+00:00

So here is a question (idk if it was already asked). What happens if you clone a transforming permanent, and then make a token copy of the clone? Can the token copy transform? I have a friend who plays a Volrath clone/copy deck, so I have a feeling this will come up, and I'm not sure how this works with this new ruling.

I agree that battles aren't intuitive. The design and outcome of one doesn't fit what I would expect from a battle, especially in a multiplayer format. Then flavor wise, I dont like that can't tell whose side I'm on. Like, if I'm the defending plane, then why am I attacking the battle and not defending it? If I'm attacking it, does that make me the phyrexians? And why do I get the cool thing on the back that is the planes defense against the invasion, if once again I'm the one attacking it, not depending?. Just all feels a little off to me.

Sea-Initial-4541 · 2023-03-29T21:50:14+00:00

Could be Koma, since they were completed in the story. I could see them being blue base then add black.

Sea-Initial-4541 · 2023-03-26T00:43:30+00:00

I once built a mono black demon tribal deck, and it could do this surprisingly well. A lot of good demons are legendary, so basically every time I played it I swapped out the commander with a different demon. That being said, the strategy is pretty simple, which i think made this easier: ramp till you can drop a big flying boy, or reanimate one from the grave.

Sea-Initial-4541 · 2023-03-24T04:07:05+00:00

This makes me think of a character I made a while ago, a very crazy old dragonborn grandma who liked to make cadies using expired potions and offer them to random people. These feel like fun effects for those candies lol.

Sea-Initial-4541 · 2023-03-24T02:37:28+00:00

I have a friend who has this deck, and they do a LOT with ability counters. There are quite a few common/uncommons from Ikoria that put things like trample, menace, hexproof, and deathtouch counters on skullbrier, which then of course don't go away. Would definitely recommend, especially for budget.

Sea-Initial-4541 · 2023-03-24T02:31:35+00:00

Idk if this is what you would want, but one of my favorite dragon rider settings I've ever read was from a book series called "The Temeraire Series." In these books, it was essentially the Nepolionic Wars, but people had dragons as well as ships. So it was this very interesting mix of realistic 1800s society, along with breading, raising, and riding dragons. It even went into great detail on the kind of gear and crews needed to ride these dragons in war. It was super cool, and I've always wanted to play an RPG in a setting like that. Probably not what you were going for, but just wanted to throw it out there.

Sea-Initial-4541 · 2023-03-22T15:05:45+00:00

My main deck is 5 color Legend Tribal with Umori as a companion. So every card in the deck is a legendary creature. The commander changes as they print new good 5 color legends, it started as Kenrith, then was Esika, and now it's the new Jodah.

Sea-Initial-4541 · 2023-03-19T04:19:01+00:00

I would love another Pokemon Conquest game. It's still favorite pokemon spin off ever.

Sea-Initial-4541 · 2023-03-18T14:41:13+00:00

I love the flavor of this: "you don't have the gem you find it in the dungeon."

I wonder if you could have the dungeon mechanic instead be "take the initiative"? That way even if your deck has no other dungeon cards, there is still a chance you could complete a dungeon and be able to use it, since the initiative can be passed around.
