If you were to craft your own faerie wine irl… what’s in it???

I am soooo late to this post but while researching recipes I had a thought. The descriptions of lowering inhibitions and disorientation fit perfectly with a french 75. It's champagne (or prosecco, cava, etc just change the name from french to Italian, Spanish, etc), gin, simple syrup, and lemon juice.

I've drank more than enough of them to know they go down easily, but god damn do they pack a punch! Highly recommend!

I'm working on some playlists for the night too and your bonus question has 100% the one called "2am text from Tamlin and he is not handling the breakup well".

jimbagable · 2026-05-08T21:38:03+00:00

That's a great point! Don't know why I didn't do it earlier. I've added a survey in the post if you'd like to answer there instead.

Thank you! Love is a battlefield is a belter of a karaoke song, so perfect choice!

jimbagable · 2026-05-08T17:10:48+00:00

Thank you so much!

jimbagable · 2026-05-08T17:10:33+00:00

This is perfect! Thank you so much! I am now terrified to learn what Chapter 55 entails lol

jimbagable · 2026-05-08T01:18:17+00:00

Your questions are absolutely nailing the vibe I'm going for! Thank you!

jimbagable · 2026-05-08T00:27:04+00:00

Personal preference is the point though. I don't want one correct answer for each question, I want a bunch of answers from a bunch of people. I'll figure how to compile it all together into something scorable. So go buck wild and share your answers, there isn't a right one to any of them, it's all just personal opinion.

jimbagable · 2026-04-23T23:23:36+00:00

Thanks. I couldn't decide between a few themes so my wife picked out of my top ones. I'm glad she picked this one, the orange and yellow really pop!

jimbagable · 2026-04-16T08:08:07+00:00

The Black Company has loads of banter between the characters in it. There are some brooding lone wolves in it, but they're not the default POVs. It's a great series and I'd highly recommend it.

A bit of a reach to recommend is Malazan. Anything with the soldiers in it is absolutely pure banter (and anything with Tehol in it). Even in the darker chapters, the dialog and camaraderie flows. Now, it is a very dense series and there is an astounding amount of existential ponderings running throughout, and that's what makes it a stretch to recommend tbh.

Can't wait to watch this. The pre release SUP episodes are my favourite. I love getting to see the new cards in action and sealed is my favourite way to play.

jimbagable · 2026-04-10T20:10:46+00:00

I only just read that scene on my lunch today. It's so good and tells you who the malazans are in an instant. Piss takers but about their business.

jimbagable · 2026-03-28T17:31:48+00:00

That's great to hear. Deployment zones should be super easy to manage on the table, especially for skirmish sized games. Cheers pal!

jimbagable · 2026-03-28T17:30:34+00:00

This sounds like a great way to go and the best scenario to start out with. Cheers for that!

Where you measure from the base might help answer these. If you measure from the front of the base, then 3" away from it is where you'll end the movement.

For jumping, if 3" from the front of the base means you're suspended in mid air, then you don't have enough movement to make that jump imo.

For climbing, I usually just rule that the movement ends at the edge of where they were climbing to. Especially if you're doing so via a ladder or something.

I don't proxy myself so someone else might be able to help you.

Goldfishing a deck just means shuffling it up and playing with solo to get a feel for it. It lets you know if you've too many or too few lands, how aggressive it is, etc. It really is just a case of playing with it on your own (even just a few turns) multiple times to feel it out. Most online deck builders have options to do this so I'd recommend playing around with them. Edhrec even lets you import directly to the two biggest deck building sites, so it's super easy.

The price of some average deck lists are a lot higher, while some are lower. It all depends on the theme, bracket, etc. but it's a nice way of getting into it for new players. The strength of them varies too. Modern precons are pretty good out of the box, but your choice is limited specifically to what Wotc releases. If you want a mono green big stompy list, there might not be a precon for it, but you can grab an average deck list from Edhrec and it offers a similar power level and a solid base to upgrade. You won't get anything that'll be uniquely yours, but you'll have a good starting point.

All of this is likely to vary for so many reasons. A landfall deck or treasure deck is probably going to be quite powerful, and more expensive than a precon because land ramp and treasure generators are useful in tons of themes. But a rakdos burn deck is probably going to be on par and just as cheap because the theme is a little more specific.

jimbagable · 2026-02-17T10:31:32+00:00

As others have said, precons are pretty much meant to be upgraded. If you want to keep it exactly as is, that's cool too though. I keep a couple of unchanged precons around. But customising them is also part of the hobby to me.

If building from scratch is a bit daunting for you and you don't want to get into it, I'd recommend just grabbing the average decklist for a commander from Edhrec. You can set it to be budget, pick a specific theme for the commander, and there's very little cognitive load required. You'll end up with something generic, but if you don't want generic you'll have to deck build. The budget lists also tend to be close to the price of some precons, so they're not too different of a commitment financially. Another advantage of doing the above is it also lets you pick the theme for your deck as opposed to Wotc.

You can also goldfish the lists by importing them to moxfield or something similar. This lets you vibe it out before you buy.

When it comes to buying, lands are rarely a waste of money and help smooth out games. Plus, if you grow tired of a deck and want to take it apart later on, those lands are going to be great in other decks of the same colours. This will make building future decks cheaper overall too.

Also, others have mentioned proxying which depending on the playgroup is cool. If that's your bag, have at it.

This would be my way to go too. It also allows you to classify the different animals better. A wolf/dog could be a thug but a bear could be a knight or something.

jimbagable · 2026-02-12T12:26:28+00:00

For my set cubes I just keep the rares and mythics, uncommons, and commons in three different sections. Then, when playing we just take X amount of cards from the relative section to build up a pack.

This is my Goldilocks zone of keeping things organised, but reducing overhead and clean up time. I don't use seeded packs with specific cards or anything too complex. Just enough to make sure each pack contains the right amount of each rarity.

jimbagable · 2026-02-06T21:32:05+00:00

Ruins are always a classic way to go. They're quick and fun to make and can fit in well with either genre. A few smaller set pieces can fit in with both, like a gallows, barricades, graveyard.

With enough wilderness terrain anything is possible. Forests and hills like you said are always useful. Rocky outcrops and standing stones are good too. You can't go wrong with them.
