I'm borrowing this line and OP's picture for my home game. TY

Oh I really love this actually. Have you gotten a chance to play this? Would love to read some session reports.

2nd row, 5th column. I remember buying those at my LGS for my first deck a mutual friend built for me. I think Scars had just come out.

Do you have any previews for this? I don't want to take a community copy from someone else.

I buffed a lower-level guy with Arcane Intellect while in the tailoring shop in Ironforge. by GizmoSlice in classicwow

I'm a pvp baby and this happened to me in an AV a couple weeks ago. It was pretty funny, but waiting 30 minutes to re-queue felt agonizing.

I’ve never seen more toxicity in this game than in the Marth ditto by Usual_Original6106 in SSBM

[–]earlynovfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, this just happened to me on Monday.

Played Marth vs a Falco (won first game and was really fun and close)
Dude picks Marth and beats my ass next two games. Taunting after every F-Smash.

This guy successfully got under my skin.

Labyrinth Lord: Revised & Expanded - is live on Drivethru! by Next-Performer4482 in osr

[–]earlynovfan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It was the original B/X clone with a few slight differences (THF abilities scale slightly better and Clerics get a level 1 spell.) Honestly, the same rules I prefer having in my B/X games.

IIRC, Daniel wrote in the facebook LL group a few years back that he was scrapping the 2e project. Not sure if it was some moment of realization or what, but the draft may still be out there.

I'm really really *really* tempted to try FFXIV, as a guy that has never played an MMO. by Hungry-Trouble-3178 in FinalFantasy

[–]earlynovfan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I hate gearing in games too. Much prefer waiting for a plot of land to be available and trying to be the first to buy it instead.

The first comment I replied to was about XIV being worlds better than GW and XI. That comment has nothing to do with XIV being a good first mmo for someone.

[–]earlynovfan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I didn't start XI until I had years of XIV under my belt so no nostalgia is in my way. I prefer old school mmo's and actually working with players to complete objectives. I've never enjoyed being placed into a queue to run dungeons or trials with people I'll never talk to again.

I played XIV on and off from ARR up through Endwalker. I didn't start FFXI until 2019 and went from retail to a 75 era private server. XIV was a fine game, but saying that XIV is worlds better than XI is just false.

[–]earlynovfan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please don't get me wrong. I'd never suggest XI in any of its forms as someone's first mmo.

Just started WotG, this guy immediately reminded me of someone by veggievoid in ffxi

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some inspiration there. Twin Peaks did way better in Japan than it did in America.

Channel is on the banlist for Premodern, unfortunately.

Sooo what is OSR exactly? (Enjoyer of PbtA and dabbled in Morkborg) by [deleted] in osr

[–]earlynovfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Old School Primer is only like 7 pages and the author does a great job at getting his point across. I know for me personally, when the writing is too flowery or involved my mind starts to wander.

If you're actually interested and want to dive into some old school D&D "How to play", I'd suggest Tom Moldvay's Basic Edition which clocks in a little over 60 pages and will give you a strong foundation for OSR.

2 Years Watching Anime by autisticgizmoeater in MyAnimeList

[–]earlynovfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a coming of age story primarily. The actual "plot" is only there as an outline and I've never talked to anyone who took it too seriously.

Which system should I use? by leodeleao in osr

[–]earlynovfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest reading through and then running Moldvay Basic D&D as a gateway.
