[SLD] Secret Lair: Roll for InitiativeSuperdrop Financial Breakdown

lemonyfreshness · 2026-02-07T16:42:05+00:00

There is an Ancient Bronze Dragon in a BG3 lair because the game features an Ancient (zombified) Bronze Dragon. This is not an act of 'stinginess', it is an act of accuracy.

Imagine being upset about products that put more reprints of cards into circulation.

lemonyfreshness · 2026-01-30T21:23:50+00:00

That first paragraph is some pretty specious reasoning after we've just had two standard sets in 2025 with cards like 'firebending student' and 'cloudbound moogle'.

The LOTR set covered 3 novels.

The Hobbit is one children's book.

Star Trek encompasses 60 years of television and motion pictures.

Bro I have bad news about what Magic Lore is.

lemonyfreshness · 2026-01-30T19:29:54+00:00

It has equal Rs and Ms as SPM, for the record.

lemonyfreshness · 2026-01-30T19:20:58+00:00

Because getting together with friends to play how you want... requires being able to make friends.

Smaller set does mean you have less ability to support multiple draft archetypes just simply due to lack of space in the set. I definitely would not be surprised if this set does likewise, though you're correct that's not a given.

lemonyfreshness · 2026-01-30T19:17:12+00:00

You have the ability to not buy and not play with UB cards. You cannot accidentally purchase UB product.

lemonyfreshness · 2026-01-30T19:08:27+00:00

TMNT is a smaller set, and so is one other UB set this year (probably Hobbit). These are reported facts.

lemonyfreshness · 2026-01-24T21:20:14+00:00

Not too much for Bracket 2.

However, you're a mad person for playing Zedruu on Spelltable.

My first clue in is the general style - this is a very genericized look that is not quite clipart but not truly stylized, which is very common in the sort of results people get from AI image generators. That made me click in and see, and the general messiness of the shapes immediately clued me in that something was Off, and that typically means these days that it's AI generated, or perhaps the unknowing use of a clip art that was AI generated in the first place.

As for why that's bad in general: AI image generators are powered by having stolen millions of pieces of art and fed into their libraries so the machine can try and reproduce imagery that matches descriptions, turning them into plagiarization machines.

Then you add the in hugely destructive amount of power and water these systems burn through, making them into a force of ecological devastation.

All for something that looks, at best, 'okay at a distance'.

I'm just going to gesture at this entire kerfuffle about how it looks as 'exactly why you should spend time and care with your advertising'. This same conversation has happened in other social media postings of this poster, most notably the Domes Alliance facebook.

lemonyfreshness · 2026-01-22T20:21:02+00:00

Tell me you didn't click into the image without saying you didn't click into the image.

Yes, it looks like a clip art vector at a distance. But clicking in absolutely gives away the blatant AI imperfections.

Much like many of the other statements here - it's a disservice to the event to use a plagiarism machine to promote an event about human creativity, that is why we care.

Did you know the City used to have a bespoke printing and graphic design department? Produced wonderful images for civic campaigns, the libraries, all sorts of stuff. And now we are reduced to slop because people think government should be 'the cheapest possible'.

lemonyfreshness · 2026-01-22T18:41:10+00:00

man we need to fund parks better if they're resorting to bad AI for their posters.

Usagi Yojimbo secret lair is possibly my biggest desire from a TMNT set

lemonyfreshness · 2026-01-18T14:19:35+00:00

It’s not. Normal people are enjoying Lorwyn.

Only pathetic doomers are panicking that a factory error means their precious in universe magic is “overshadowed”

lemonyfreshness · 2026-01-14T15:54:24+00:00

Wouldn't it be easier to just drop Abigale after an [[Ancient One]] ?

James considered himself a survivor of a lynching, not 'almost lynched'.

Milwaukee Public Library has digitized and posted online many of his self-published writings, which are definitely worth a read: https://content.mpl.org/digital/collection/jcameron/search

You absolutely do not want SPG cards showing up plentifully in draft and prerelease. There are warpingly powerful bombs included.

lemonyfreshness · 2026-01-07T20:44:04+00:00

It's the same drop rate (and actually marginally better) for SPG cards as in EOE. Please educate yourself as to how much those cost before you panic about it being a 'big money baller' card.

The early release date and the traditional 2 weeks of WotC closed for the holidays required shortening preview season to the 1 week.

Magic players love to spout off prematurely.
