I think some of the people here, like me, are interested in Magic's history and development over what's now been twenty years. I've always thought that having a comprehensive log of all changes to banned/restricted lists would be pretty handy. Well, I just stumbled across the closest thing I've...

For the past two and a half years, I've been attending the University of Washington. I just found out today that I have indeed graduated with a B.S. in chemistry as I was hoping to. I still have other matters of varying degrees of importance, but that has been the big one for two and half years...

Rules thread. My deck isn't quite finished yet (I just need to modify the manabase), but I'll work on that after I post this and I might have a deck ready to go by the time you read this text. I guess because the game hasn't actually started yet, this is sort of a roll call. People that have...

Note: I got rid of the previous note because it didn't even make sense anymore, now that this thread is its own thing with a sticky and such. As of October 8th, 2013, I've made some minor updates to this first post. The only important part is that goblins, elves, and zombies are banned. Tribal...

It's been a while since I've played Magic in the games run board here. I used to always use Apprentice, but then the number of cards in the game became big enough that the program could no longer cope, and the volunteers that were updating it gave up. So I switched to Cockatrice, a potential...

I'm putting the finishing touches on a new article, so the CPA can avoid having gone another full year without another frontpage update (but seriously, I may or may not do a series unrelated to this that would mean a lot more content). Anyway, because I am inept, I find the old-fashioned...

Hard name to remember, right? She was an Italian neurologist and the longest-living Nobel prize winner (died yesterday at 102). She discovered nerve growth factor and epidermal growth factor. When she was hiding from Nazis, she cooked and ate leftovers from her experiments on chicken embryos in...

I was at the library yesterday, probably about the time that he died. I saw some of his books, but I grabbed one by Frederik Pohl instead. Hope that guy doesn't die too...

Anyone play this game? I mean, anyone that's still here. I think Mythosx mentioned it once. I've been playing off and on for several months now and for some reason it just occurred to me to see if anyone here played it (probably because almost no one is here anymore anyway). If you do play it...

I mentioned this already in one or more thread, but I moved recently (to Seattle). I currently share an apartment with Al0ysiusHWWW. He had most of my old collection with him before moving and I brought everything else here with me. He had also bought a few smaller collections and put all of the...

I'm going on vacation for like five weeks. First I'm going to Ireland for a bit (I have a good friend who is going to school in Cork), then all over Germany and also to Austria. I'll try to check in every once in a while for the Werewolf game and the D&D adventures (and maybe even the tribal...

Mostly because I'm tired of seeing Oracle of Mul Daya all the time as it's been the last thread anyone posted on in the single card strategies section in a long time... A little bit ago, I was amused to see an attempt at using the combo of Hive Mind and the Pact cards (Pact of the Titan seems...

When we last left our heroes, they arrived in the town of Sebmualblal to deliver a book to Corticruss. Thanks to some unexpected delays with a vicious minotaur, fierce ogres, some pesky undead, and a very rude vampire, by the time they arrived, Corticruss was gone. After a long and boring...

Normally when the characters read something, such as a scroll or inscription or part of a book, I would either post to the game thread or use a private message. But since this book is special, has more text, and is revealed in parts, it seems best to just give the Spagyric Key its own thread...

And it's been a long time. But last night, I did just that. Actually, both of my teammates have posted here at one time or another, but you guys would probably only remember one. Anyway, I went there with unsanitarypigs and Al0ysiusHWWW. And I got paired up against both of them! I played my...

Died Saturday from lymphoma. 95 is longer than most people get. But the man was a real hero.

This is the first thread in the new Warhammer Quest campaign. Currently, the players are Spiderman, Mooseman, Turgy22, and Melkor. If you are one of those individuals and did not read the PM I sent you (which should include a sort of character sheet), check your messages. If you want in on this...

Pretty recently I found a box with all my old Warhammer Quest stuff. I thought it might be fun to try a campaign here, much like Spidey has been doing with D&D. If you've never heard of it (pretty likely), Warhammer Quest was the brief successor to Advanced HeroQuest. If you're familiar with...

Anyone heard of this? You can play games against other people and against an AI. I've recently gotten into go, so I've been trying this out, but I'm still so bad at it that the AI dominates me even on the lowest difficulty setting. :o Anyway, here's the link. And here are the games they have...
