It’s been a while since I saw someone posting about rules they could just get rid of or change. The ghosting Gygax has lost its potency.

Vulpes Vulpes posted:Also, if you're into pirate stuff (as I am, and you seem to be), there's an expansion for Ironsworn: Starforged that's being developed for that style called Sundered Isles. Speaking of Sundered Isles, I just spent the last couple of day's free time drawing* a reference for my game of it (I have the playtest materials thanks to being a SF Backer) and thanks to all that work I feel a need to show it off somewhere.  * Sketching over a collection of plans and draughts for a handful of 1720 and 1746 Establishment 20-gun Sixth Rate Frigates, mostly HMS Blandford.

I got a Lorcana promo card at PAX Unplugged that has only known the touch of human hands long enough for me to put it into a sleeve and I figure I might as well get it graded, see if I can get a 10. Who should I be sending it in to? I know most graders are scams that give out meaningless high grades, so not them, but that is the extent of my knowledge.

You should probably check the card out on tcgplayer before going through the effort of getting it graded. Lorcana is very popular and promos tend to be expensive, but the card might not be worth that much.

CapnAndy posted:It says market price $27. That's not anywhere near expensive enough to be worth getting graded imo. If it shoots up in the future then go for it but you'd just be setting money on fire for nothing if you did it now.

Yeah grading is for stuff worth multiple hundred at the low end and honestly I'm not sure I'd bother below $1000 once you factor in the cost of getting it done

Is it that expensive? I mostly wanted a cool collectible and to see how high I could make the number go up.

It's more than the card is worth though. You'd be throwing money away.

Oh okay. Yeah if you just want the novelty of having a 10 grade collectible, then go for it. It's a bad value proposition, but that's different from doing it for fun. My understanding that actual 10s are hard even if you have handled the card perfectly just due to minor bumps/scratches from the production/packing/shipping process, but who knows what you'll get?

Celira Darkflame, the Evil Sorceress BBEG I had art commissioned for. I'm going through fleshing her character out some more. Any personality quirks you guys think are a must have for her?

trapstar posted:Celira Darkflame, the Evil Sorceress BBEG I had art commissioned for. Has a pet lizard. Not like a cool magical lizard familiar, just a mundane crested gecko. It has a really extra name like Baron Gargoylius and she talks to it on a fairly regular basis about how much her parents suck. Talks in an Audrey Hepburn style affected mid-Atlantic accent, that gets dropped when sufficiently shocked or enraged Likes to sit with a nice glass of wine while watching her enemies get slowly tortured to death. WHITE wine, she doesn't wanna come off as a vampire by accident.

Hates having to dress like that and only does it because she knows that it gives the heroes/other villains a certain impression, so if things do go south, she can actually disappear and plot again.

It's basically the "evil sorceress" uniform, it's like fantasy villain dress code. There are days she really wishes she had gone into Druidcraft, those hippies can dress however they want.

she's ruined five or six of those slinky dresses by catching the tails on fire from all those floor candles strewn around, but the floor candles are obviously necessary for sorcery purposes so she's been experimenting with flame-resistant silks. There's a collection of insects in the basement, but they're not the big dangerous scary kind, they're silkworms she's trying to ensorscle to produce asbestos silk. The truth is if she can get that working at scale, she'll have it made. There's got to be a market for flameproof silk, right? Think of the profits! In the meantime, a certain amount of dark sorcery and alluring over-testosteroned adventurers to their doom is the main gig. Just to tide her over.

The comments about the slinky dress catching fire kind of reminds of the whole "viking helmets with horns" aesthetics that is depicted a lot in popular media. Would theoretically be super impractical in real life, but is part of the stereotypical depiction of what a viking (or evil sorceress) would wear in pop culture. Also something to be said about bikini armor in like early 80s and 90s fantasy art as well lol. trapstar fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Dec 7, 2023 |

Has unusually well-drilled minions (if not necessarily powerful ones) because due to a mixture of boredom and taste, she attempts to train them in musical theater and choreographic routines. For bonus, have a Palico or whatever to be the Gumby-cat.

Also, she thinks pineapple is good on pizza. And she never calls her mother. And she's tone deaf but insists on singing half-forgotten arias from her favorite racist plays to her minions, who are not allowed to leave during her performances.
