Anyone who is saying the caro-kann sucks, you can go fuck yourself. It's a top level opening and deserves to be treated as such.

That being said...

1. e4 e6, FRENCH DEFENSE YOUR MOVE SIR.

ahem.

van 't kruijs opening.

why doesnt white open queen side?

>>11363

Preference mostly, but opening with the king pawn allows white to castle a bit faster

It is not a good idea in chess to think that you can use the same strategy for each game. The best way to play is to follow (and understand) opening principles and then after the opening is done figure out which advantages your opponent has and which he is trying to maximize. Minimize them while maximizing your own.

It is better to play with pieces you are more comfortable using, but only if the position is good for those pieces. It doesn't matter how good you are with a knight if you are in an open position with no support points to jump to (or vice versa good with a bishop but a closed postion)

Protip: Intent doesn't matter, a shitpost with the best of intentions is still a shitpost. There is no format where that combo is good enough to beat anyone with the slightest appreciation of skilled play. Anyone posting it in an overpowered thread deserves ridicule.

>>11360
Intent of the combo not the post.

Facepalming hard. Especially because you think skullclamp is over powered in every deck and instance.

>>11362

Tolarian Academy sucks in a deck with no artifacts, what's your point? THe card is still broken.

Anyone can come up with a decklist where an overpowered card is not overpowered. However in an actually good decklist, the cards are clearly far too good for play. Skullclamp decks would assrape the entire format if they were legal in extended and legacy. That is why the card is banned, and considered overpowered.

Why don't you make up your mind?

My tip for a first time player is that you should just play 3.5 D&D, pathfinder is pointless and wastes time making you convert your regular D&D books.

Also, just use Autorealm, Campaign Cartographer costs money, and autorealm works well enough. Or you could be oldschool and just hand draw maps like I do. Its not that hard. Just get some graph paper and pencils and go for it.

I've always drawn my own maps. By doing this you're able to form more of a connection with the world, and you are able to flesh it out more.

As I am creating the map, I'm thinking about cultural borders, possible conflict between nations, and the flow of trade around the world. All of these have to do with natural aspects of the world.

Overall, I feel that I'm able to DM better when I make my own maps.

Why is everyone a fucking rogue?

THIS is every single person on /tg/:

• Level 1Half-Orc Commoner
• Chaotic Neutral
• Feats: Skill Focus(Perform(D&D))

>>11358

>Level 1 Half-Orc Commoner

I'm pretty sure I could take a cat in a fight. Not positive, but pretty sure.

>>11358

Oh I fucking lol'd.

Solitiare, King's Corner, Blackjack, Poker, and Tunk. You gotta know the jailhouse games if you ever perform illegal activities.

Razz is where its at

>>11247
one of the manliest games of all time

The problem with Pinochle is that the rules change fucking everywhere you go. Usually the points always fucking change. Instead of ending a game at 300, you'll end at 3000 or something. It's ridiculous.

>>11337
Same with Euchre.
Steal the Deal, Farmers Hands, Ace no Face, Sticking the Dealer, No Trump, Partner's Best, Nullo.

And I know this is completely off topic, but the exact same thing happens with Beer Pong.

What format?

Switch Elspeth for Ajani.
Cut feast of the unicorn, unholy strength, and edge of divinity.
Add one Boon Reflection.
Add one Sanguine Bond.
Add two Vampire Nighthawk
Add one Child of the Night

The only tournaments that go on around here are Legacy.

>>Switch Elspeth for Ajani.

Elspeth is a too helpful to cut. It could turn a Nip Gwyllion with Edge of Divinity attached to it a 7/7 with flying. Ajani would slow me down.

>I don't do many head on attacks.

It's not just for head on attacks. It's more about killing a lot of creatures, saving the creatures you have, and adding an extra point of damage when you attack. Examples of common cards killed: Saporling Tokens, Savannah Lions, Akrasan Squires, etc.

Which then become easy choices when you drop a Necromancer's Covenant.

It's not overpowered by itself.

nah, its not overpowered. what you mentioned is a nifty trick, but it's at the steep cost of a card you would have otherwise drawn. its great if you need to kill a guy you otherwise couldn't kill, but it is not free.

but yeah darkblast is a great card. I loved playing it sideboard in my vintage combo deck in before people whine about it being unfun mostly to see the reactions on the other guys faces when I killed their turn one goblin welder.

-2/-2 for two mana isn't a big deal, Disfigure and Last Gasp are more efficient -X/-X effects and they aren't even card disadvantage. The real power of this card is in rendering all of your opponent's one-toughness creatures worthless, and forcing your opponent to make bad blocking decisions (for example if you attack with a 4/4 and your opponent blocks with a 4/4 you can play this to save your guy. And then you dredge it and do it every turn).

ALL that gay faeries, elves, kithkin shit is going going going.

I cannot wait for that shit to get phased out and get some real games going on.

There are so many field killers right now that "removing" WoG isn't that big of a deal.

And if you can't beat a tribe deck than you suck pretty hard.

Sounds really fantastic to me :)

I would totally play that campaign. But I'd run it with D&D or RIFTS.

Do you have any sort of backstory written? Sounds like a strange but interesting concept

What's YOUR race?
