At least there's a game involved with MTG

You can't tap an NFT and generate mana to summon creatures or cast spells

Not without copious amounts of drugs

Not enough people get this

That's... nothing to be proud of.

But then again, I'm not the target audience.

They did keep trying to make NFT games for a while there, the problem is just that they're all shit and have the extremely predatory economies one would expect of a game that is directly pay to win.

Haha. Yeah. Imagine spending money on collectibles. Fucking rubs! I'd never do something like that.

I proudly show off my foam blaster collection to people

My piece de resistance is my Nerf Gjallarhorn

1:1 scale replica of a rocket launcher from Destiny

I mainly got it because I do recreational Nerf tournaments and it's fun to see people's reaction when I shout "And let the howl of the wolf be the portent of your end!" before I fire it at them

MTG is a fun game

At least MTG cards have a use, even though proxies are usually better

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I just print the card on some paper and glue it on a cardboard

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

These days I just order high quality proxies from Hong Kong at a fraction the price of the "real" cards

i have a box of crayons and some paper :)

MakePlayingCards.com

Doing it normally on the actual site would be annoying though because of the way it's set up, so there are some tools to help make it faster and easier, like here https://mpcfill.com/guide. It's not like cheap cheap but I don't need new decks super often and it's nice to be able to use some cards I otherwise wouldn't be able to in my decks.

The cryptogrift hub known as "MTGOX" started as a Magic: The Gathering trading center. the-more-you-know

rage-cry No it's different they're game pieces that I can use to play in sanctioned tournaments

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Collecting cards actually kinda works though! I've needed cash lately and made about 500 bucks selling a grand total of 5 Pokemon cards I just happened to have from growing up.

Damn, Marx failed to consider pokemonomics

How did you avoid getting ripped off?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I sold them on TCG player at a few dollars lower than whatever the last one sold at.

It's stupid to spend that much money on cardboard but also nobody is forming gargantuan obnoxious communities about investing in MTG cards, and MTG is definitely less of an environmental disaster than NFTs, and almost certainly has less impact than just the packs of cards for Vegas

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

They are less of an environmental disaster than NFTs, but people for sure use them as an investment vehicle, look the Reserve list, basically a list of cards WotC pinky promises they will never reprint to not impact the secondary market by tanking the value of the cards

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

well kinda… the first crypto exchange Mt Gox used to be MTGOX - Magic the Gathering Online eXchange.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I mean, the guy bought the domain after coming up with a dumb idea to let people trade digital MTGO cards through his platform like stocks. But he gave up after a couple months because that shit was dumb and nobody wanted that. So he just reused the domain like 3 years later.

Recruitment posts should contain what system is being played, CW for any adult/serious themes players need to be aware of and whether a game is beginner friendly.

An obvious reminder of no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.

Emphasis on small independent rpgs like the ones in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas but not against dnd stuff.
