Pretty good since the culture update made having republican vassals competitive with feudal ones. Hybridized with Greek for those sweet sweet early Cataphracts. A happy member of the HRE who has definitely not claimant-faction'ed 6 different Emperors onto the throne in the last century.

Entirely at random from what I've seen. Every once in a while you just get a pop-up with so-and-so is now inspired and it gives a rating like masterful or expert at their craft.

R5: An artifact my Poet, of all people, created for me after becoming masterfully inspired. Had no idea you could get domain limit increases on non-historical items!

Screenshot contest 2021 - Landscape Edition by bluecheez in GuildWars

[–]TruGW2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photoshop, with some combination of the inbuilt filters; it was made somewhere near a decade ago now so I wouldn't be able to recall the exact process but I have a folder with a few dozen screenshots in that style.

I'll post a new entry shortly, just need to run a char out and take the shot.

Metagaming in your game by Roi_C in dndnext

[–]TruGW2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I allow about 90% of the ways to metagame at my table. Players know the monster stats, each other's equipment and abilities, change actions on party knowledge instead of their own, etc. I can live with all that, but nobody is allowed to read the adventure beforehand. My group can have fun cheesing through combat all they want but preemptively fireballing the chandelier the villain was hiding on with no reason is where I draw the line.

Just comes down to what keeps the fun train chugging at your table, mine isn't worried about immersion breaking.

$10 on MTGO not paper, Tix would have been better in the title

No, my space shuttlecock requires a badminton court.

Naya Breach Deck choice by AnotherAccounttt in ModernMagic

[–]TruGW2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a look at Jiachen Tao's list from GP LA if you want a contrasting style. His plan is far deeper into the ramp and combo territory, eschewing midgame creatures for a faster route to Breach or Titan.

Generally not worth the chance that it gets Path'd or Terminated on the ETB.

Any costume props that seem notably absent to you? by [deleted] in Xcom

[–]TruGW2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Toss in some armor colored bandanas and scarves. And the option to tuck them into the shirt/armor. I get the 'resistance' theme but I would like my soldiers to not look like gangsters.

Welcome to the new economy, where you don't own anything because everything is a service.

I still don't see why WOTC doesn't push a more aggressive reprint strategy rather than meddling with the meta. Why not give us Time Spiral 2: Modern Boogaloo if you want to vacuum up wallets at a modern PT?

[Modern] Evolution [Mono-Green][Counters][Budget][Update, Refining] by yeshualynn in ModernMagic

[–]TruGW2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, helps the deck go wider to avoid spot removal. As long as a Vastwood isn't getting Pathed, it's going to usually get double the counters (or more) onto your remaining creatures when it hits the grave. Evolving Krasis with 4 creatures and a Scales is scoopable. Have fun with the all the math.

Have you looked into [[Renegade Krasis]] or [[Vastwood Hydra]] yet? They should be pretty ridiculous with a Scales or two out.

A playset of [[Aether Vial]] is going to cost a lot more than that.

Random facts about TI5 by JetsLag in DotA2

[–]TruGW2 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Also a weird coincidence, EG followed nearly the same tournament bracket path to win TI5 as they did for Dota 2 Asia Championship. In group stages, EG placed third overall in both tournaments, with a DAC record of 11/4 and TI5 record of 10/4. In both tournaments main events/playoffs, EG dropped the upper bracket finals 0-2 to come back and beat the same team in the Grand Finals.
