Appreciate the follow up here. Great to see the team is going to talk about the question generally. These things are difficult to parse through, so totally understand the need to review overall.

Congrats and best of luck with launch!

Sadly, my contract with Blizzard ended in September. That means I'm looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! www.hazelmonforton.com

It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

Honestly, I would probably go back to doing non-profit work. It was stressful, but rewarding work. Being able to help ppl advocate for themselves with their government officials is always needed. Brain-scrambling, but needed.

Today is my last day at Blizzard! Working with the World of Warcraft team has been such a fun, positive experience. I can't wait for players to see what we made together. Now I'm looking for my next role in games, full time or contract, indie or AAA. You can check out my portfolio on my website! 🖤

As for the expense report, can’t help ya there. 😂

You could get custom tokens. Or get some custom art cards of their favorite cards. Those are alway great.

You could also get some custom 3D printed accessories to use in gameplay. Like custom counters.

Knowing their preferred format could also open up additional options.

Cracked a fresh box of #MTGEternities! The set artwork is stunning!

Last night’s game of EDH:

Turn 9: Play Jarad and pass turn.

Turn rotation: Pray everyone looks at the board of dragons an opponent has and leaves Jarad alone.

Turn 10: Play Lord of Extinction as a 54/54 and sac to Jarad’s ability to knock everyone out in one shot.😎

GG

Jarad reads: Jarad gets +1/+1 for each creature card in your graveyard.

1 ,🟢,⚫️, Sacrifice another creature:
Each opponent loses life equal to the sacrificed creature's power.

Sacrifice a Swamp and a Forest: Return this card from your graveyard to your hand.

Lord of Extinction reads:

This creature's power and toughness are each equal to the number of cards in all graveyards.

Exactly. Just forget I have it for a bit and I can’t panic.

Not even trying to exaggerate. Sung Jin Woo vs Beru might be the best fight sequence we’ve seen this decade in anime. Absolutely floored. 10/10 no notes.

One day Valve will recognize their mistake.
