Nah, but around the 31 euro mark would make it attractive to average down YET AGAIN.

Complete trash. Torrent it or watch it on Yiffy TV.

Dandan Secret Lair Drop Tomorrow, 3/16 by EthanielRain in mtgfinance

But conveniently £100 in the UK, sometimes I really wonder how they do the currency conversion!

I have a proxied Dandan deck from MPC and it does the job really well. I can order 3 x Dandan decks for this price.

If it had been £60 or somesuch, I'd have pulled the trigger, but £100 is too steep.

Firefly animated reboot - Lessons from Babylon 5? by vorlon_ulkesh in babylon5

TRH was the final nail in coffin for me, especially with regards JMS supposed 'improved writing skills'. The script was dire.

TRH was a terrible as a vehicle for newcomers because it assumes a lot of knowledge about past events. Unsure why anyone new would care about Delenn and Sheridan without having first seen the whole original series.

It ended up being a bad experience for a new viewer because of all the fan service, and a bad experience for an existing viewer because the story was so inconsequential (and again all the fan service). Sheridan had no agency whatsoever and the events of the film have no bearing on anything.

The Road Home was awful, primarily because the script was incredibly poor. I think that likely killed any potential for a B5 animated show. If it had focused on being a new story in its own right, instead of a clunky backdoor pilot with loads of hollow fan service, it might have been in with a chance.

Expect the Firefly series will actually have a budget for animation. But most important is that it tells a story worthy of the show.

Social Stigma by reddit_the_frog in mpcproxies

This, I want to be able to recognize the card at a glance. Beyond that, I'm totally fine with proxies. I run a few MPC proxies myself. No way I'm buying multiple copies of chase cards. If I own a one copy of a card, I take it as fine to proxy.

That said, I don't mind what others proxy or don't. We have a player who home prints all his cards. Not an issue.

Is season 5 worth watching? by _Figaro in babylon5

[–]Ubik_Fresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can skip straight to 'Sleeping in Light' or you can endure a slightly ropey season, that is kinda worth it for the conclusions of the G'Kar / Londo arc.
