🎃 With Halloween coming up, I'm thinking of offering to run a paid 3-session playthrough of my #DnD adventure, Into the Mists.

Going to use @shardtabletop.bsky.social and aim for 4-hr sessions, probably around 8PM EST.

If you and/or up to 5 of your friends would be interested, let me know! 💀

Perfect rainy day Sunday for video games.

I'm finally cracking into #FinalFantasyTactics while my daughter plays Minecraft in the background.

And yes, I've been relegated to the small screen while she gets the big TV 🤣

I can't recall exactly but Tiltify had a built-in character limit.

The example I would usually offer was something like "an ancient elven blacksmith with a grudge".

Usually I'd get something more like "drunk goblin with a stick of dynamite" 😅

I'm a little concerned about getting three wubrg legends in the next three ub sets. All of them are fairly pushed and will become the choice for ninjas, spider, turtle, mutant, and ally typal. I really prefer color and design diversity that encourages you to not just jam the whole set into a deck.

Wild Magic Surge is a favorite of mine.

Also 'Make an NPC' (usually limit it to a single sentence description).

And one really fun stream where I had @davidtilstra.bsky.social @sroby25.bsky.social & @patchster0730.bsky.social on where you could donate to make them pick a new character accent 😄

As far as pricing, I'm leaning towards a flat hourly rate vs. per-seat rate.

So say $25/hr for a 4-hour session is $100, or $20 a person for a 5-player group or $16.66 for a 6-player group.

I'd also probably run a quick session zero, but obviously wouldn't charge for that.

Got my workout in for the day, drank a half a pot of coffee, and about to work on some job applications.

Life kinda sucks right now (on that front specifically), but trying be grateful that while I may not be gainfully employed, at least I'm not crashing out over a new set of cardboard turtles!

So the #MtGxTMNT stuff certainly ain't for me, but I'm happy for the folks who are stoked about it.

Saving all my hype for when The Hobbit set drops.

The #MTGxTMNT Pizza Bundle has everyone's favorite slice of the set, like booster packs and pizza lands. The most delicious part is that you'll find 2 (of 6 total) cards from Magic's past in each bundle, each with pizza-themed artwork.

This image depicts the product packaging for the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pizza Bundle".
The illustration on the box shows four humanoid turtles looking excitedly at a pepperoni and mushroom pizza as the turtle on the far right grabs a slice.
On the top left corner of the package reads "Magic: The Gathering" and on the bottom left of the package reads "Includes piping hot Collector Booster!"

This image depicts the card "Dark Ritual". One black mana. Instant. Mythic rarity.

Card art: This illustration shows a humanoid rat smiling maniacally as he holds a book open in one hand while the other spinkles olives onto a pizza.

Rules text: Add three black mana.

Flavor text: "Esposito, my liege, grant me the flavor I am due."

The #MTGxTMNT Commander deck celebrates the power of teamwork. The deck will have one face Commander and five cards with the mechanic Partner, allowing you to have a second Commander in play.

This image shows the packaging for a precon commander "Turtle Power!" product. On the box is an illustration of four humanoid turtle ninjas in ready battle stances. The background is an illustrated cityscape at night.
