Yeah, I definitely think it boils down to that. My discussion was just relating what, as a person who really follows MtG, are the things keeping WotC from wanting to do it.

From now on I'm reading every "lol" in a video game discussion as an invocation of League of Legends.

I'm getting super nerdy again... But in MtG, it's established lore that nothing living can cross the planes, except for planeswalkers. Anything that tries is erased from existence. Plane-jumping D&D style is basically a massive violation of MtG's basic setup...though I wouldn't mind them...

Yeah, if you like different things than me that's just low standards! If you agree with me that's proof that you have proper appreciation for the objective, provable, substantive things in life, like which video game openings are measurably superior in enjoyment levels.

There's a SUPER NERDY reason for this, that also brings in matters of branding and IP ownership. The basic thing is that every "official" MtG set takes place in a single multiverse setting, which includes within it a number of setting constants like planeswalkers, the nature of travelling...

Oh, can you not change the mode during a game? :cry: I'm like 12 hours in, and the thought of doing all the early game stuff again is a bit disheartening...

The fact that they aren't using THAC0 means they are abandoning the single greatest factor that made the Baldur's Gate franchise great.

As an MtG player who loves the lore, I think Theros is a pretty good fit for campaign treatment for a number of reasons. It has a strong and resonant identity, so people who couldn't care less about playing an MtG setting will hopefully still be able to loot it for spare parts easily. It's a...

The moment they spoiled Gallia, I went through scryfall to look at Satyrs. It was...not an amazing list. :p But! I did manage to draft a satyrs deck in once that did pretty well, and someday I'll try to cobble together a Pioneer Gruul deck that just uses Gallia as a way to draw cards. I just...

That's actually very helpful, thanks! I'll check it out.

I want to be the guy who posts snarkily about not buying strategy games on a console for precisely this reason. Instead I'm the guy posting that I indeed bought PoE like 3 weeks ago for PS4, because I was in the mood for an isometric. And despite liking the game, I haven't picked it up in about...

I can't believe my first response to this thread WASN'T to post this image: My response to news Theros is getting a campaign setting book.

They have leonin, which are cat-people. https://www.bing.com/th?id=OIP.FWrGMNG5ylICT3QwY50rqwHaEU&pid=Api&rs=1 Other than that, the furriest things I know of in the setting for players are satyrs, minotaurs, and centaurs. So...maybe?

I'm waiting for them to institute the ability to switch the dice you are using for rolls during the game, put dice in the "time out jar" if they are giving low rolls, and argue with the CPU that "the dice fell on the edge" when you get a bad roll in an important situation. Until they institute...

No no no, you are playing RTwP in BG all wrong. The proper combat rhythm is: Pause Cleric uses Harm Magic missile Reload your save file if you didn't penetrate enemy's SR Triumph Modern day gamers are so simple they can't even understand proper strategy games SMH my head.

So for playable Theros races, what would people expect? I'd think humans (obvs), satyrs, centaurs, some kind of merfolk (tritons?), leonin (cat-people), minotaurs (MINOTAURS), returned (undead people with no memory of their former lives and stylish masks). Anything else? As a GM I would...

I voted for turn-based, because I think it's the most strategically rich options. As others have noted, XCOM and Fire Emblem are great examples of very popular strategy games using turn-based mechanics, and I've always been a big fan. As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm surprised that a AAA title in...
