Avid 99PI listener. Also WBEZ Chicago's Curious City, answering listener questions about Chicago trivia and culture. Those two typically make up my "weekend lawnmowing listen." Technically, they're radio programs first, but I listen to Science Friday and Sound Opinions, "The world's only Rock &...

That sounds AMAZING; something I'll be looking up. (I'm in the States, so not something I'm familiar with, but I am curious!). Typically, breakfast burrito: scrambled or fried egg, sausage or bacon, some cheese, and veggies. When I make them in advance, I'll prep a dozen and freeze and...

Nothing like thinking you rolled up Snakeeyes

I'll echo that, and "The Chains that Bind," by the same author, isn't half bad. I also enjoyed "Blue-Green Ribbons," but it had moments where it seemed like exposition got cut in the editing process.

Thanks. I should have checked before posting. Well, it's an interesting approach, and I have no problem downloading free advertures!

Coincidentally (or not?) isn't that right where Dragon of Icespire Peak from Essentials leaves off?

Not to repeat myself, but since the other thread has derailed... I dig official rules on an elementalist Bard. Between Prismari and "privative" settings, there's a lot of room for this archetype. Anyone know if there's a 3PP version out there? Houseruling (at low levels at least) wouldn't be too...

Think "Heroes & Villains" is going to put this on a T-Shirt?

You got into it more in the other Power Source thread, but I hadn't even considered Cosmic Force Cleric--that seems to fit M:tG's flavor more than the "Cleric of a Specific God" that tends to be assumed by D&D. (aside from what I know of Amonkhet and Theros, and even then...) I would love to...

I think I know I've mentioned it upthread, but think the thing that's interesting me is how the classes the iconic characters are given in the minis compares with the classes on the cards, frankly. I'm assuming the WizKids' minis classes would be the classes these characters have in any...

I am in basically complete agreement, but (drawing from the 4E power sources) add I'd overlap Primal with Red and add Shadow to Black (and MAYBE Green). I wonder, would damage types would be the best division? E.G.: acid (Green, Black), bludgeoning (n/a), cold (Blue, White), fire (Red, White?)...

Sadly, the only one they made a card of is Quandrix (well, "near-tortle," I guess): Quandrix Cultivator

I usually don't either, at least not mainline. But I'm also "just interested enough" in the lore to catch that random bit of trivia going down the MTG wiki rabbithole. I did read the Strixhaven "side stories"; those were good reads. In terms of relation to the UA, I feel like the subclasses are...

I laugh, but isn't the insufferable genius shiny cyborg red(ish) dragon the Living Guildpact now?

Present company excepted? (Sorry for going off topic.)

I like the implication you make that they're stuffing smaller mages in the tower (mage = what it's played with, tower = destination). Finally, a use for gnome illusionists! /s.

Thanks for posting this; I hadn't checked ICV2 yet today. I think the most interesting thing here is the classes for the iconics for each college: Quint (Lorehold) is an artificer, and that was a surprise to me, but it certainly matches with the flavor of Lorehold. I would have guessed Killian...

Oh for sure. Not so say that M:tG has not, on several occasions, dropped, changed, or revised card types. Saying "From this point onward, all cards that read 'Shaman' actually mean 'Sorcerer', so when you see 'Shaman' read it as 'Sorcerer,'" is completely possible, even probable. And any...

Oh, completely. Given WotC's effort at cultural awareness, I'm surprised they're still using "Shaman" as a term, frankly. Just thinking "brand synergy"; the Strixhaven cardlist is full of cards with the Shaman type. Of all of them, it's the most obviously mis-used term on the iconic spellcaster...
