cheetah7071 posted:honestly kind of baffled at the specific claim that VP2's combat is less strategic tha VP1 I didn't feel like the move to a grid positively affected what had essentially become brawler mechanics, it just made every battle feel like the same dash exploit, but this time on a per enemy basis. It trivialized guardcrush, which was formerly a very interesting mechanic. An interesting attempt tho, certainly more creative than what Square was up to at the time.

cheetah7071 posted:guard break in VP1 just means pressing the mage button first In some instances, yeah, especially with certain spells that juggle, but Wait Reaction is by no means a free Guard Break later on. Also, balancing your team's only healer with a huge debt in charge points means relying on Guts or timed combo counters for huge multi-hits from enemies, swapping out equipment on the fly especially if Valk needs to go ranged, and prioritizing stuns/freezes on front row enemies while you wait for poo poo to cool down. But we're probably not gonna agree here.

I just listened to a podcast where two guys were trying to work out which factions you could price out a full 2000 point Warhammer 40k army for less than five hundred bucks and they could only find four. So I'm glad I got into Warhammer only through the twin lenses of videogames, and painting models with no inclination to actually play tabletop with them. Just glued together a rat ogre. Skaven forever

Runa posted:They tried to pull some poo poo with their Open Gaming License to retroactively take ownership of all third-party and homemade material derived from their IP. to explain in more detail: the OGL has been around since 3E and it basically gave you carte blanche to include the core 3E reference material in your own original works royalty free, although you weren't allowed to use other branding elements like settings or artwork they're trying to do the same thing blizzard did with WC3 reforged where they realize they missed the boat on capturing a hot new product (pathfinder) and are now clumsily adding in a "uhhh yeah actually we own everything and it's all ours now but you can still make us free money if you want" clause to the OGL, which has royally pissed off everyone and will probably lead to paizo (pathfinder's publisher) releasing their own OGL-esque ruleset and probably taking WotC to court

Rinkles posted:Just D&D or Magic too? Haven't played MtG in a while (ironically, cause of FOMO pressures). MTG has gotten pretty bad with releases in recent years with 2022 being the most egregious so far especially when they released the magic 30th set. Secret lairs are coming out left and right and it's hard to keep up with if you're a collector. There's collectors editions for every set now, too. Release schedule has been sped up so nearly every month you need to buy something, compared with the 3 month cycle they used to do. Especially now that they print commander specific sets, it just feels like you're drowning. They show no signs of slowing down this year. There are no more block sets, only standalone sets which I guess makes sense but good bye if you used to like older drafting blocks. The prof at Tolarian Academy has really good vids on a lot of problems with modern mtg. https://youtu.be/uTzmmiSvtFU

Speaking of Warhammer, they did a colab with Warhammer recently and put out some Warhammer Magic the Gathering decks. I thought I might pick one up as a curiosity even though I don't play Magic, but then I found out they were 60 dollars each. 60 dollars for a deck of cards.

For the 30 year anniversary, MtG put out non-tournament-legal reprints of classic cards from the reserved list like Black Lotus. In packs. They're selling packs of official proxies. The packs cost literally one thousand American dollars.
