The episode where Cas is playing himself (Misha Collins, the actor who plays Castiel) is awesome. I don't generally go for episodes that "break the fourth wall", but that one made me appreciate the character all the more. He really does deserve the face time he's been getting.

pwnt.

Season premiere of Supernatural rocked. Fringe was ... not as good? Decent. Very disjointed. Looking forward to Walking Dead and Dexter! *pulls off top layer of facial skin, removing Foe's artwork*

I'd get passed around like a bag of Doritos.

Fixed that for you. If there's one thing that annoys me about these discussions, it's that they always end up berating the Wyrd forum as some unfathomable internet microcosm where intelligent discussion is impossible due to biases and flawed logic. Hardly fair. In my experience, that sums up the vast majority of the internet, including pretty much every other game-related forum I belong to. That is all.

ARGLBARGLE!Whatjusthappened??!

I hear that. I rarely eat an employer prior to payment. I prefer to sever their hamstrings and watch them drag ass around for a bit, all teary-eyed and snot-nosed. Then they pay me double to leave them alone. Then I eat them. *sighs* Good times.

So ... you let her live? That was very un-Princess of you.

I voted for McMourning. Write-in candidate.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but: In all other instances, you can opt to cheat down assuming no on the attack flip. Shooting into melee, hitting your own model on an unmodified flip, you flip a 13, cheat it down with a 3 from your hand so you (potentially) miss or at least do min damage. It costs a control card, but it would likely cause you to miss assuming the Df flip (+1) doesn't totally tank. Also, you need not declare the trigger. They're always optional, I believe.

*sits up* Grow up, Fell. It's natural and beautiful. What's wrong, Hayzel? Should I prep my hacking knife? I'm a mercenary. I sell myself.

*scream like a girl* *farts* *faints*

Not cool.

My prediction: Dreamer in the lead followed closely by Collette and Lilith!

*emerges from cellar, flexes* I've been working out. *FLEX* Can you tell? *pops triceps for the ladies*

It's like tossing the basketball from center court with 1 second left, the good ol' HAIL MARY. If there's a chance, why not take it? The odds are definitely against you but (as others have said) if the target is your last/only model able to Use Soulstones? It's like poker. Sometimes the pot justifies a ridiculous call.

I've always played it that I exchange soulstones from my starting pool of 8 or less. Of course, I'd prefer this occur before determining the pool. I'd rather spend "extra" stones instead of denting my 8 for a brawl. I do appreciate the balance concern. Allowing someone to trade soulstones for body parts without restriction gives the player too much leeway to hire (pending the casting of Monstrous Creation) an 8ss Rogue Necromany or a 5ss Flesh Construct. If these exchanges eat into your starting pool, it makes the decision more difficult. If you intend to start with parts, you pay for the privilege. Even so, I have traded starting pool stones for body parts, when summoning an early Franky is mission critical or being Fast is just that important.

But ... I like my urinary retention. SPAM REPORTED SPAM CRIMINAL!

I have a buddy who still goes into fits when something runs counter to the narrative. I Seduced Sonnia Criid the other day with a Belle, an action immediately dismissed as ridiculous ("What, she's a lesbian now??") ... then I turned around and did the same thing to a construct, which garnered a similar reaction ("It's a construct! It doesn't care if you have nice boobs!"). It only lasts for a moment, and we move on, but every game is like watching him have 100 low key panic attacks. It's almost as if he expects me to say, "You're right. That's silly. I won't do that." I'm not sure how long he'll last, in Malifaux.

Reminds me of how I used to whine when someone would poison my Tomb Kings in WHFB, before I made peace with the fact that rules and logic/narrative don't always see eye-to-eye. "They don't even have BLOOD VESSELS! Arg! My marrow!" /sadface

*strikes kung-fu pose* HATAAAAAAYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Eating a breakfast burrito. Ripped it open, took a big bite. Pretty sure I just swallowed more paper than intended ingredient.

Indeed; at least, that's how I've always played it. It's not a Morale Duel and there is no defender (it doesn't qualify as an attack). Unless a model is immune to any and all Wp duels, Condemned Whispers can effect it. Teddy, Perdita, all those pesky Immune to Influence types. Granted, it's only versus an 11, but if you can Horrify them first ...

I see your cow fish and raise you a ...
