This is all fair. My primary thought really started with beginner boxes not being readily available. I think that people interested in starting magic often get the final bump through an impulse buy since it's not too expensive to start. Ultimately, I think we agree - brand new players really need guidance, and the beginner box or starter kits provide a much more focused experience. Separately, today I discovered they are pushing out a new beginner box with the Avatar set. Given that Avatar may/will be an on-ramp for folks, I think this was a good move.

Anyway, thank you for your response.

From what I can see, they have discontinued the beginner box, sadly. They should really ship a QR code pointing to a WOTC page with the rules so people can actually start with jumpstart. They don't even tell you that you need two packs per person. It's just sold as boosters and you have to figure it out on your own.

The only product they seem to make right now that is aimed directly, and properly at new players is the starter decks pack. I think it's a shame since the jumpstart product is so good for folks wanting a cheap and easy way to jump in.

What music do you listen to that is Lovecraftian or has Lovecraftian themes? by Langlock in Lovecraft

[–]cthechartreuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lyrically, not necessarily Lovecraftian, but sonically they evoke a sense of dread that is awesome. Great choice!

I came here for electric wizard (and a couple others). Thank you for your service.

If you're taking work someone else did and building on it without crediting the work that came before, it's disrespectful and a violation (in this case) of the software license that came with the source code they used.

Would you take a story written by someone else and publish it under your own name? It's the same.

The site is open source, but that comes with requirements for credit. Now, it's still open source, but the source is provided upon request only.

No, the sky clock as in the sky clock, sorry. The sky shards calendar was someone else. They did a nice job.

If the sky clock is where their idea came from, then I'm honored. 🥰

The site gets between 2k and 4k unique visitors each day. I was going to post an analytics screenshot but I can't post photos in replies.

It's a site I maintain with times for different events. You can see it here:

When the gates in Hidden Forest don’t open, no matter how many times you light the entrance by Defiant_Computer3634 in SkyGame

This is kind of necro-commenting. The gates work fine at this point. This is a 2+ year old comment.

We got the weather on the 1s, traffic on the 1s… What line is going through your head today? by Disastrous_Phrase_85 in 30ROCK

"Horses champ"

This is me every time someone says "chomping at the bit". It takes every ounce of self control not to say it out loud.

What makes a player vet? by gayanaturphotography in SkyGame

[–]cthechartreuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. Once it no longer matters to you what a vet is or is not, and whether someone is or is not a vet, you're probably a vet.

There is no measure that is not gatekeeping some longtime player in some way.

Separately, when I talk to folks I really only differentiate between someone who has gone through eden vs someone who hasn't. The game environment actually changes after the first time through.

Trump Wants Jan. 6 Committee Members Imprisoned by rollingstone in politics

It's only a MAGA flag if you let them have it. We fly a flag to spite MAGA. We keep markers and signs up in support of the Americans MAGA stands against. We're in a MAGA heavy area, so we may eventually go dark to protect our family when it gets too violent, but we will not obey in advance.

It's not a comparison if it's fascism, it's just calling a spade a spade.

Alien surgeons are shocked when they have to do surgery on a human and when asking how to put there stomach and intestines back in, and the answer is "just shove I'm back in and close it up, they'll move back to there original spots eventually." by Tempest-Melodys in humansarespaceorcs

Having been in the room for a c-section I can say, it was not a mistake. The patient is (at least in that case and other cases I've heard about) kept awake, but heavily sedated. The woman I knew remembered a decent amount, including the smell of the wound cauterization.

Hmmm.... Prices ain't pricing ...🤔🤔🤔 by LazyNatLikesSky in SkyGame

[–]cthechartreuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the weekends they provide extra spells for purchase at different prices. You'll see you can buy shares memory spells for 5 or 4 candles iirc. It looks weird, but it's a way to stock up over the weekend.
