Count Bleck posted:Round 1: vs GW Angelic Accord - Sweaty Anime Sleeves Guy decided to bring this and do the weirdest poo poo, involving dropping Alive and Well and Elixir of Immortality just for single Accord Triggers (that's not how Angelic Accord works, buddy) How does Angelic Accord work, then? Do you just abuse populate? Can you trigger it more than once per turn? (Not Sweaty Anime Sleeves Guy, just someone who also runs G/W and wants to use Accord.)

(Not Sweaty Anime Sleeves Guy, just someone who also runs G/W and wants to use Accord.) At the end of each turn, Accord checks to see if you've gained 4+ life. If you have, you get a token. It's that simple. Ways to get 4 life include Trading Post and Bubbling Cauldron. Cauldron can also give your tokens vigilance, of a sort.

The general idea is that you use repeatable effects to get a continuous stream of angels, rather than playing janky one-shot lifegain cards and getting a single angel as a bonus

Tharizdun posted:Isn't L5R the game where there's a rule that you lose Victory Points or life or whatever if you touch their card (to spin it around and read it) without asking permission, bowing and throwing salt in the air in a ceremony first? No, this hasn't been a rule for a while now. It certainly isn't at the tournaments I've been to recently.

So this weekend I was helping my girlfriend's uncle clean out some junk from his house and we found a box full of magic cards. I doubt there's anything super valuable in it but where is a good place to try find out if there is anything worthwhile in it?

Thanks for the advice, now to go through a few hundred cards. So far the most valuable is apparently a Demonic Tutor. There's a bunch of cards from other games as well, a Warhammer 40k card game, Dune, 7th Sea. And a few pin up cards of Elvira, which definitely dates this box as pretty old.

If you're looking through cards from when Demonic Tutor was printed, be alert for special lands named 'Underground Sea', 'Tundra', 'Scrubland', 'Badlands', 'Taiga', 'Bayou', 'Volcanic Island', 'Plateau', 'Tropical Island', and 'Savannah'. Those are easily the most valuable from the set (Revised) that is most likely to have come out of.

I hate it. I'm no MRA, if anything I fall on the more liberal end of personal rights and freedoms, and I like to wear a nice hat on occassion and these douchcanoes go and give a terrible reputation. I don't wear a hat if I'm not wearing at least a suit jacket, normally shirt and jacket minimum though.

There's a guy who wears an old red beret from some military thing at my LGS. I can't decide if it's just different enough to be kinda cool, or just different enough to be hipster. As for picture sleeves, what are some decent sources? My LGS only has anime girls (of the clothed variety), Game of Thrones, and Boris Vallejo pin-ups. Is there a way to get custom sleeves?

I give zero damns about Game of Thrones (the TV series got way too rapey-torture for me and I've never read the books) but the sleeves are pretty awesome, imo. Especially the Greyjoy ones. They're not the greatest quality but they're good sleeves for drafts.

Don't do this people, some military people of those units sacrificed many years and a portion of their sanity and humanity to earn that poo poo. Only to have some hipster wear it because it looks cool. Then again, it might look better than the greasy, gnarly, untamed hair some of these shops accommodate to.

Only to have some hipster wear it because it looks cool. It used to bother me when people wore stuff like this. Now I just look them in the eye, smile, and thank them for their service. If you want to see someone become visibly uncomfortable, try it sometime. We did shame this one kid right out of a casual night - he used to wear a PT shirt and a tacticlol ACU backpack and told everyone he was with a unit in our state. I thought this was a bit odd, considering they were currently deployed, and he wasn't exactly in what I would consider good shape. A few years ago I trained with two of the NCO's in the unit so we exchanged a few emails and I called him out on it. He scooped and left. I haven't seen him since. I imagine he's moved on to another group of people. FreelanceSocialist fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Mar 5, 2014 |

It's not something it's easy to make as a one-off. If you like picture sleeves, Fantasy Flight has various licensed ones and Legion has a lot of designs of widely varying quality. When you find a design you like, can ask your LGS to order or get it on the internet. I generally don't use picture sleeves unless I'm willing to pay up and get KMC Character Guard Sleeves to put over them, because even the highest-quality picture sleeves get edge wear way more easily than a solid sleeve.
