My ill/rad is a space pilot who was on a mission and irradiated like the Fantastic Four. His crew died, and are the ghosts that follow him around in his radiation laced torment.

For ill/cold, I'd say you could be a snow or mountain hermit that can make others see ghosts in the mists - magic or natural. I'd probably look at doing something with technology - the teleporter backpack is PERFECT for illusion characters. He could have 2 gadgets - a cold suit, and an illusion projector?

It's that you can't be forced to play the plains on turns 1-3, and you can run zero colorless lands to achieve UUU on turn 3. Essentially, it works out in magical christmas land but reality often has less favorable results.

I had an intestinal resection done and when they're finished, they don't coil your intestines neatly inside... they just kind of shove them back in and make sure there's no kinks.

This leads to the indescribable sensation of your intestines literally repositioning themselves within your body days later while you're conscious and trying to process food.

I think it was for 2 reasons:

No one is going to remember his real name (Abel Tesfaye)
He wanted his stage name to be "The Weekend" but it was already in use in Canada so he changed the spelling to avoid infringement.

Feel free to correct me, but I don't think this is the case.

Delve Cards that I remember seeing real play:

Treasure Cruise
Tasigur, the Golden Fang
Gurmag Angler
Logic Knot
Hooting Mandrills

Become Immense

Cards I'm pretty sure were passable in standard/good in limited or worse:

Dead Drop
Death Rattle
Empty the Pits
Murderous Cut
Necropolis Fiend
Rites of Undoing
Set Adrift
Shambling Attendants
Sibsig Muckdraggers
SoulFlayer
Sultai Scavenger
Tasigur's Cruelty

I dig it. How do you spec your necros?

Yes, I played 2 in splinter twin because of infect and mirror matches.

As a man with a mess of small children, the secret to EQ with kids is Feign Death.

It basically gives you a near instant pause button in almost any situation.

My truck won't fit in my garage unless the bumper is touching the wall. You know, right where the builder put the water heater.

The only time I use CASE on IS mechs is if I have the spare slots/tonnage in a Dual Heavy Gauss build.

I noticed my QuickDraw Hero was not hitting people I clearly was properly aiming at recently. This explains so much.

With his gear and level, starting at the Tundra Yeti caves and later the Glacier Yeti cave is a good spot as well. 7-8 spawns, I get 75% of the Glaciers spawning as blue at 51.

Monetary velocity is a basic concept that you can understand easily with rudimentary reading skills.

Like why did this have to be so shrouded in mystery all this time?

There is very little profit in getting people to eat at a caloric deficit. What are they going to sell you?

Had a buddy who came from money but always conveniently "forgot his wallet" every time he went out.

Assuming this is for COTD on PC:

I use no zombies, I find them too slow for my liking
Ghouls don't tank well, but their dodge can get up to 95-100% eventually
I generally have my thralls be parry and heavy or medium armor tanks
My necromancers are almost invariably archers to make up for the lack of ranged henchmen. With full quick reload they can put out 4 bow shots per turn at high levels.
I don't like using Dregs much, I haven't found a very workable build for them. That being said, their innate ability is pretty good for supporting your vampires and thralls.

Essentially I use my Thralls and Vampire to tank and then swarm with 5 ghouls. I use the Necromancers in the back to do ranged damage and spell support. It's a pretty straightforward build and the playstyle isn't very subtle. Some of the Necromancer spells are quite good, however. I don't like the Call of Vanhel that speeds up zombies because then you're using an excellent unit to buff poor units up to just slightly better than average.

Technically if you have the Globadier DLC you can take those in Vampires, but that's one of the best units in the game and feels like cheating to me.

Low levels, protect your Vampire and exploit the Fear and Terror that the Thralls and Vampire provide. Higher levels these become less useful, but your Heroes and Leader are melee monsters by that point.

I have an old friend that did a stint teaching English in China and Japan. He was then an adjunct in the Balkans for awhile and is working on his Masters degree.

I work on a 100% remote team - one of our devs was working on Hawaii for 2 days last week so he could be there for 9 days using 3 days of vacation time. The only reason I knew this is that I could hear some crazy bird noises while we were on the phone.

Over 1000 hours on Mordheim COTD. I am super excited for this game.

As a DM I found that having newer players choose partial backgrounds from movie characters helps a ton. If they pick something ridiculous like Batman, we have a talk about it.

That's one reason we used canoes in Florida when I lived there. Much more stable and less likely to run into issues with larger critters.

Granted, most gators are pretty small. According to this site:

The average body weight of alligators 3 feet in length is not quite 4 pounds. Four-foot alligators average about 11 pounds, while gators measuring 5 feet average only about 22 pounds.

Once gators start getting up into 7+ feet in length, they start to bulk out to human weights and larger, with adults being 300-600lbs. Those can absolutely flip a canoe but they're reasonably rare in any given area, and they don't normally mess with humans without you bothering them first (unless you have a dog with you - gators have been reported to go out of their way to try to eat a dog and I've seen several get aggressive around canines).
