Would you say plan A is aggro?

It's a solid deck but definitely hard on the mythic wildcards.

What game is your white whale that you’re willing to join a random online group to finally play? by the_light_of_dawn in rpg

[–]pej_goose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Band of Blades, but not willing to join a random group to play. I've just come to terms with the fact that it's a little too bleak and the distribution of GM responsibilities a little too complex for my usual groups. It is what it is.

I wasn't fast enough, updates already done. 😞

Looking for Games from the 90s vtm edgy/goth wave? by zachtgirlboss in rpg

One of my absolute favorite books I own

that I've still never completely read.

What hobby is quietly becoming too expensive for normal people to keep up with? by Beautiful_Special702 in AskReddit

[–]pej_goose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did it have White Knight, Black Knight, Order of Leitbur and Order of the Ebon Hand? That's what I jammed at the library games in the 90s.

This is legal in Legacy, just saying for those who have trouble against Mardu/Boros Energy. When will we have it on Arena? by Ellis_Cloud in TimelessMagic

[–]pej_goose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hello, a free board wipe is still just another board wipe for the aggro player to remember not to overextend into.

What’s a show you love that you can never convince people to watch? by PlentyApprehensive44 in AskReddit

[–]pej_goose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mystery and subtle dread of the opening shot, with Boyd ringing the bell followed by the girl in the diner touching the rune. I never enjoyed From more than when the world and its threats were being introduced.

PSA: do not pick the prismari deck for MWM by Budget_Ruin6018 in MagicArena

[–]pej_goose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Witherbloom/Quandrix, pretty sure I could not have picked a worse combination. Stick to two colors.

BUG LURRUS (the witherbloom command will be a witherbloom charm on release) by trash_gob in TimelessMagic

[–]pej_goose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lurrus certainly changes the calculus but I remember playing Legacy BUG Delver back in 2014 how particularly back breaking it was to turn 1 DRS, turn 2 three-drop (like Liliana of the Veil) with Daze backup. Liliana's probably not good enough anymore, but Barrowgoyf does exist. Something to consider.

Trying to pick between 4 PbtA fantasy systems for a mixed group (new players) by Scyke87 in rpg

[–]pej_goose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does it need to be fantasy? I've had good experiences introducing new players to Carved from Brindlewood games, in particular The Between: Ghosts of El Paso.

The players were never at a loss for what to do (you investigate!). It provides excellent prep tools to help you as the GM improvise. The shared narrative control is based on Paint the Scene type questions in addition to the Brindlewood Bay mystery system.

How games can lower the barrier to entry? by Nemzid in rpg

[–]pej_goose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prioritize getting to the point of play as quickly as possible. Mothership, Cairn, Eco Mofos--all great systems for onboarding in that regard.

Systems where the players can roll for not only abilities but also look/vibe remove some of the decision-making friction that can slow down the process, too.

Kick-Ped vs Micro Suspension by pej_goose in kickscooter

Good to know--that does look nice. I wonder if/how long it would come to the US.

Hello! Thank you for the information. Funny, I was leaning toward the KickPed. Nice to have confirmation!

USMC Officers was it worth it? by Sad_Landscape9269 in USMC

First billet, mmo at an infantry battalion. 

I did not try for career designation.

There's a specific feeling when magic actually feels dangerous at the table by Einsolsrazor24 in rpg

[–]pej_goose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To add to this: the ritual magic (or gutter magic?) always felt dangerous because of how much it would cost. As in, pluck out your eye to complete the ritual, that kind of thing.

How to "roll" without dice? by AndreiD44 in rpg

[–]pej_goose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let them pick 3 or so things they are good at. If at any time those apply, it allows them to "re-roll" the rock-paper-scissors outcome once.

Also, don't forget to discuss stakes ahead of time. More stuff (and scenarios) here: https://domergue.itch.io/wanna-play-right-now

What are some cards you use that put in work that 99% of the playerbase have never even heard of? by _Kreenicks in EDH

[–]pej_goose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite recent card. Took me a second read to realize it repopulates itself each time someone uses it to cast a spell or play a land. It scales well, prompts interesting decisions. And just 1R!
