A picture says a thousand words... So I'm going to keep my mouth to a minimum. Just want to thank Brayden for the Pics.

Storm's a Brewing, my thoughts not so much...

Heya fellow Cardhousians,
Did every Duelist enjoy Saturday's "Challengers and Cheaters  Champions" Yu-Gi-Oh! event?
<Looks to see who raised their hands.>
<Troy C raised his hand.>
Well Troy, if you blew off work and came, you would have!
Snarky comments asside,  The challenger's leaderboard was packed with Shaddolls and Geargia.
I wasn't playing either, instead playing the 'Concentrated Starter-Deck' (I got the starter Deck, took the pendulums and better monsters, and hope like heck.)
UPDATE Friday 19th: Just got my Hazy-Flame deck mailed back to me, minus the Kaiser Colloseum's. I'm not sure whether to say 'Cheers' or 'You stole $45 wprth of cards, and denied me my primary deck for almost a month... Curse you <expletive>!'


As promised Here's the winner of the monthly draw for September;
Logan H!
Hooray for Logan! Haven't seen him since the 1st admission to the Hospital come to think about it... Moving on to Magic: The Gathering.
This coming Saturday is the MTG pre-release for Khan's of Tarkir! Let's see what goodies I can snag in them...
"Epic Diem" is up in a few weeks, and you know what that means? Females in Provocative Cosplay A great day full of Card Games, War-Games, LARP, and generally one awesome day for Facebook pictures of yourself!

As Requested, here's 20 moar things Chad is no-longer allowed to do in D&D/Pathfinder.
  1. Expect the DM to keep a copy of that Epic-Tier Necromantic Cleric Character I rolled ages back. Especially after I assigned it an insanely high diplomacy skill to avoid combats, especially boss battles.
  2.  Throw a coin into magical Darkness: An enemy's cries after being hit ruins the suspense of what's concealed.
  3. I cannot have the voice in my head/the shadow one possess a body that is already possessed...
  4. I can not ask the Alchemist to 'accidentally' a Companion (Gelatinous) Cube.
  5. If an enemy cuts it's arm off, I cannot claim that it's disarmed.
  6. Nor will I raise the arm as an undead minion, no matter how "handy" it may be.
  7. Wielding said undead arm minion, while it holds a weapon does not work as a means to extend my weapon's reach.
  8. I will never again use the scythe as a 10-ft pole, because I'll cut myself.
  9. Contrary to popular belief, human does not taste like chicken.
  10. Even if NPC's can, I cannot trade in 'favors'.
  11. No matter what the rules say, I cannot kill my mercenary pay master, raise him from death, and then command him to give me a Raise.
  12. No matter what the rules say, I cannot kill children, then use them as a horde of undead ankle-biters.
  13. Luring an army of Goblins over a cliff is heroic, and will make me be forced to take an alignment check, even if I am only doing so to replenish my undead congregation.
  14. No matter what the rules say I cannot use 'Improvised Throwing Weapon' feats to throw an undead infant. Obviously if I raise an infant, they are supposed to be a weapon for my character.
  15. When looking for materials to make the party's Crossbow, I cannot call it 'Getting wood'.
  16. Killing the Wizard's Familiar is not acceptable as an alternative to an Atonement Spell.
  17. If a Wizard I'm playing ever resembles Dumbledore, he will use Power-Word: Kill on himself.
  18. Despite the famine in town, I cannot "Reap" the population and raise them to continue farming my newly acquired lands.
  19. Dead-Horse Tropes do not count as corpses a necromancer can raise.
  20. While funny, I will not replace the Alchemist's spell phials with Beer, then set him alight.

  1. Okay guys, I'm sorry about my mediocre post, but I will see if I can get pics from epic Diem!

Remember to add a title here.

Heya fellow Cardhousians,

It's been a long time since I posted last. Being in-and-out of Hospital (and a reliable internet connection) makes it hard to post. Still, I'll do another post with the winners of the monthly draw soon, but until then here's some more of my thoughts and ramblings to tide you over.
The saying goes; "The more things change, the more they stay the same." Whether we are talking about Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, or even Pathfinder/Dungeons and Dragons.

Cerialy guys, I have a point to this, I promise.*

We are always learning, always having to evolve our tactics, for Magic with the release of every new core-set or block pushing a previous one out of Standard, or the Ban-Lists of Yu-Gi-Oh! (ignoring the later additions of Synchro, xyz, and Pendulum Summoning,) we are constantly growing and adapting as players.

 Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who challenges me, especially those who kick my parked rear so hard I am unable to stand. Seriously, you show me what doesn't work, so I can find what does! When I find a way to best you, I'll be ready to roll!

Anyway, as I've been playing D&D as well at the cardie, here's;

20 things Chad is no-longer allowed to do in D&D/Pathfinder.
  1. As a Neutral-Good Cleric, I cannot flip the table to start a bar-fight.
  2. Buying drinks for everyone as said Neutral-Good Cleric and then coping a feel of the bar-wench and then grabbing her <Censored> will not cause a bar-fight to break out.
  3. I will not ask if the town has running water, or if they use chamber-pots.
  4. If playing a naruto-themed rpg starting as a low-level, I will not ask why we are being charged with saving the world instead of our seniors.
  5. I will not call a catfolk's claws their 'Fists of Furry".
  6. Nor will I call the Cat-Folk a 'Pussy' if he flees combat, it's specist apparently.
  7. I cannot call a Scythe "Hanlon's/Occam's Razor" no matter how easily it cuts through encounters.
  8. Yelling /talking is a free-action, but I can't spend 3 minutes screaming into the spider-lair to bring the spiders out of hiding.
  9. A conjured Giant-Squid(Kraken) familiars cannot rise from under an enemy in the middle of the desert. (even if the sand is looser then my grasp of RP physics.)
  10.  If someone is offering me free 'favors', it's a trap. Doubly so if we are at a Magic School, a Temple, or any Political Office.
  11. I can no longer use an insanely high diplomacy skill to avoid combats, especially boss battles.
  12. An Atropal Scion cannot be killed by my spare coat-hanger. They are an aborted god and if a god's coathanger couldn't do it, my mortal one can't either.
  13. I cannot mercy kill starving children in a blighted community discretely. Someone will figure it out an blab about it. Especially if I raise them as an undead child army.
  14. If I want to use Holy Urine,  I cannot cast my 'Bless Water' spell on my bladder. I have to buy bottles and fill them myself first.
  15. When looking for materials to make the party's Crossbow, I cannot call it 'Getting wood'.
  16. Unlike Housecats, Catfolk cannot be bribed with catnip.
  17. If my Mercadian-Crusade Cleric is revealed to be based on Nick Fury, the Fresh Prince, Morpheus, Eli, or any other character played by notable non-white actors; They are retroactively vetoed from the game.
  18. Despite the water-shortage in town, I cannot ever again ask the town to 'do their part' and fill their chamberpots with 'liquid Gold'.
  19. I cannot just ask the librarian or use the index-cards to locate a paticular book is instead of rolling percentile.
  20. While funny, I will not replace the Alchemist's spell phials with phials of any holy liquid.
'Til next time everybody!
Chad
