I think it's more that you can say a paragraph in like... 10-15 seconds but actually typing it for the normal person takes a minute or two.  Generally r20 text games get slowed down by that, and people wanting to proof read what they are typing.

Unless they're talking in which case you mean it's taking ages for them to choose their words?

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

That applies to IRC as well, though.

I'm suddenly jonesing for black crusade or rogue trader, preferably not with me at the helm since I always have to GM if I want to play something I want to play.

Same here.
I'd offer to host something, but I'm a rookie GM and running a campaign in such a defined setting is really daunting...

I could probably be persuaded to but I've already got something brewing.  My CoC game doesn't seem to be getting much traction though, I'll need to look and see how many people I actually have for it.

I wish I could unwatch a thread because every time I look at this I can feel myself dying faster
Dying of laughter?
Dying of pure unbridled hatred, actually.

Have never played anything other than dark heresy.
Rather keen to. Let us know if we hunt down a wild GM?

Well I might GM something, probably Black Crusade.  I have a bad habit of overengineering games, especially before Ir eally know what the PCs and such are.  I think that's happening with my Call of Cthulhu game.

I'd like to try to break that habit with something more open-ended like RT or BC.  Something heavily PC-driven.

Big announcement from Wizards relating to MTG.

  • Next block will be set on Kaladesh
  • Commander 2016 will be 4-color
  • Intro decks will be two per set and be headed by a planeswalker
  • Fat packs cost 3$ more and contain an extra booster. They also lose the useless cardboard deckboxes.
  • Planechase Anthology
  • "Draft Packs" consisting of three boosters to be released with Conspiracy 2

My prediction for how Kaladesh will look.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Still not enough to get me back into Magic. Stuff's waaaaaaaaaaay too expensive for my taste in hobbies. I already spend enough on booze and snacks for gaming nights as is.

I actually got into Hearthstone because I couldn't afford Magic.

If M:tG is too expensive, why not Cockatrice?

Both Yoink and I live in kangarooland, so I'm assuming not live.
