It's been growing in popularity. I think the low cost, low barrier to entry, slower pace of play, and ability to use old cards makes it really attractive as current, new magic is growing ever increasingly more expensive, faster, and less attractive. One of the cards from the recent Final...

That's a shame you have to hide it. Nerd Culture has become so mainstream that it seems like most people I've encountered are receptive to it as a "real" hobby now. I've found a lot of my coworkers to find it pretty interesting. My old manager was a bit of a drama lover, so she always got a kick...

I almost made a thread for it, but felt it wasn't interesting enough to warrant one, which is how it ended up here. Pauper is a blast. It may not be great for you, as it's still a hyper competitive format that does rely on a lot of new cards. That's actually one of my favorite things about it...

Not complaining about any pineapple on pizza, but something interesting I wanted to share with you all. I play a lot of Magic: The Gathering. Much more than I play D&D, infact. One of my favorite formats is Pauper, which has the deck building restriction that all cards must be of the Common...

Sure.. He's no John Cena.. But Fallout Kumail would 100% beat up Silicon Valley Kumail

That's a mistake you only make once early on in BG3 lmao. I recall also getting wrecked early by a firebomb or something. Start exploring the wilderness and you see an NPC who looks even slightly fishy you start spreading out the party before chatting with them

My store of choice, Jester's Gallery in Waterford, Michigan, has a pretty sad RPG section. There's a single, double sided, free-standing shelf with their RPG books. Maybe 3-4ft wide, and about 5ft tall. One side is all D&D, and the flipside is some more D&D, some Pathfinder, and then a...

I just rewatched Silicon Valley this fall, and it makes me wonder if you went back in time and told people Kumail Nanjiani would end up playing buff, hot guy roles in the next decade, how many would have believed you.

Looks cool. I wonder how it'll stack up against the Coen Brothers' version.

As a kid/tween I was often described as an old soul.. Now I find I'm in a weird mental Benjamin Button situation where I'm now more like a kid/tween driving an aging body like a mech suit.

I was talking about Master of Disguise. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/master_of_disguise

This is a movie I've been afraid to rewatch. I loved it as a kid, and I know it's bad. I just remember it hitting on a lot of tropes that are some of my favorite parts of D&D. Two plucky scoundrels getting in way over their heads. Getting the party together. And I'm glad the article called out...

I really enjoyed Twisted Metal, but I can't disagree with this. It does feature a level of "jank" that seems to be far lower than what Amazon would accept. I think that was part of it's charm though. It kind of reminds me of old fantasy shows from like the 90's-early '00s.

I never got into Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom. I've never really been a Zelda fan in general. My girlfriend really enjoys the newer games though, and about two weeks ago she got this random desire to replay TotK. Convenient too, as she's been sick this last week so she's had...

I'm not the most devout Fallout fan.. I've only played the 3D era of the games, and despite putting lots of hours into multiple playthroughs of 3, NV, and 4, I never finished any of them. With that said I think that kind of makes me the perfect audience for the show. I get tickled by all the...
