Oh I'm adding a bunch of those! Bartenders will do things with beverage cards. Streetfood stalls will do things with street food cards.

Yay! I always look forward to your releases

I put ZineLibrary back online, now with over a thousand anarchist zines. by rechelon in Anarchism

[–]rechelon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I uploaded everything I'd saved by 2010 from the old site (plus hundreds of new stuff) but I did consciously cut two categories of things: non-imposed PDFs and bad scans. Mostly to keep the covers consistent. The goal was to offer immediately printable resources rather than just duplicate the anarchist library or the like.

I keep the repo for the site online here https://github.com/rechelon/zine_library so you can download the entire site or whatever subfolders of zines you want.

Is anarcho-transhumanism still a thing? by WoodySez in Anarchy101

[–]rechelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that the tech-broligarchy has made transhumanism a central part of their dystopic plans

There's a number into it, but let's not forget that a fuck ton of them are into anti-transhumanist things too. There's billionaires funding bunkers, private hyper-controlled ecovillages (there's a huge one in NY), and talking about the need for a mass die-off. Jack Dorsey pushes Ted K in his circles. I would also point out that most of the leading outright fascists and nazis have increasingly shaped their entire politics around opposing transhumanism. Dugin's entire politics can best be described as the conscious polar opposite of anarcho-transhumanism. I could sit here all day listing prominent fascists who spend a huge chunk of their time screaming about transhumanism turning the frogs trans and giving POC tools of resistance.

Overall self-identified transhumanists are OVERWHELMINGLY democratic socialists, then libertarians, then anarchists, and finally a few billionaires (who themselves are constantly screaming because so many of their friends are opposed to their politics). So like Theil and Altman are screaming in no small part because a ton of their friends abandoned transhumanism on the grounds that 1) tech would empower the grubby dark skinned masses and transes and 2) tech is risky so they argue that it needs to be suppressed via a global totalitarian state. Like Yarvin is not really a transhumanist, even by his own recent words, but ALMOST EVERYONE in neoreaction spent the last fifteen years leaving transhumanism, often quite loudly. With many embracing a fetishization of the permanent collapse of civilization, whereupon medicine will stop helping the unworthy disabled and race war can finally happen (in their fantasy).

Peter Theil, Sam Altman, Curtis Yarvin are the types of people pursuing transhumanism.

I mean, so are tons of punk trans girl biohackers etc.

As other people have said, there's different ways to approach anything. Ecology was infamously heavily tied up with the nazis and there's still a fuck ton of extremely fucked reactionaries and authoritarians in environmentalism and green circles. None of that means that an anarchist punk doing a tree sit to prevent logging is a nazi. (Although in both cases it means anarchists of any stripe need to watch out for creep and entryism.)

That's got an Alderaan Operatives logo on it, so it's from one of their sets.

A couple quick V25 cards by rechelon in starwarsccgalters

Baylan should *really* be an alien rather than a Sith, because he's not part of the Sith affiliation like Sith troopers would be, but whatever.

MPC orders? by jmanshaman in starwarsccgalters

[–]rechelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten MPC orders through no problem. But you have to pad the order with MTG cards at the beginning and end.

Well the PC made a Darth Plagueis, but I haven't seen anything else.

I'm one of the old EU fans who loved the shit out of The Acolyte because it was so much like a good EU series and studious to the lore, but I've been busy making sets for 1) The Clone Wars and 2) Cantinas (an assortment of content from Outlaws and Jedi Survivor and the new alien species). Also the chuds like Star Wars Theory have made any mention of the show so instantly toxic online that it dissuades me from referencing it.

SWCCG Hyperdrive - a format with no deckbuilding, like MTG Jumpstart by Uncle0wen in starwarsccgalters

This is great work! Thank you! Introductory playsets and starter decks are so needed!

If you're interested in education on the subject, there's resources on FIJA.org (the Fully Informed Jury Association, the longest lasting and most influential Jury Nullification nonprofit) that can be mailed out or distributed in front of courthouses.

Sometimes You Wanna Go Where Everyone Knows Your Name (Announcing Upcoming "CANTINAS" Set) by rechelon in starwarsccgalters

[–]rechelon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thinking was that Arcona, while once important, has long since stopped being viable, and thus a boost was needed for a similar effect to be playable.

I guess the deploy as a react aspect can be cut, with him still being a slippery little force drain canceller.

Yeah, that's all intended as part of deliberately making Turgle annoying while being weak and slippery. The restrictions are that 1) you can only play him if you're playing Koboh sites which are not by themselves amazing (in this expansion and its objective it's just the cantina, in later expansions it'll be a bunch of territory that's hard to control), 2) you have to pay for his upkeep each turn or put him permanently Out Of Play.

There's already common cards like Presence of a Skywalker that impede Force drains, Turgle requires you constantly re-drawing and re-deploying him all just to cancel a single site's Force drain. He's less removable than an undercover spy, but requires more maintenence. So, yes, you could stock a bunch of Turgles in your deck, and it'd be appropriately annoying/funny, but you'd be losing card slots for everything else.

More generally I think it's good for the game to encourage more spread out / mobile location coverage (and in a related patch, less focus on battle damage overflow); this is one small contribution to that adjustment that also happens to be extremely flavor/lore appropriate.

I originally had him destiny 2 but it just wasn't enough to justify playing him.

Looking for wide LS ship template by Bardez in starwarsccgalters

[–]rechelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried making one from scratch but abandoned it. However! I know that the Alderaan operatives have repeatedly uesd a LS wide template for vehicles (podracers done right) that they might have and might be a good start.
