Went to the Artist Alley event over the weekend and was giving away these Clue tokens.

I think I need to lock in and start making these more as gifts.

Together, we raised over $600,000 for @translifeline.org this year. From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful. We have come together to say to our trans friends and family that they are loved and that they are not alone.

Trans rights are human rights.

When we gather together, we can make Magic.

I love this video.
@timgaedke.com created such a passionate love letter to making art. It inspires me to not only just go and 'make' art, but to share it with as much whole love as he does.

@sporkchop.bsky.social in the 7+ they have known me has suggested games, but never once DEMANDED a game for me to play.

And now I pass it on.
I demand you play Clair Obscur Expedition 33. 🏴

Dandân is great and all, but cannot wait to try out R.P.S and Trippin' with some folk.

Big news! I’m working with Wizards of the Coast to share that the Secret Lair Dandân Deck drops in March 2026! Keep an eye on secretlair.wizards.com when March rolls around. Don’t forget!

I’ve had a WEIRD amount of people ask me stuff like “oh why don’t you use chatGPT to start your articles or make an outline or make ideas!!!!”
That isn’t the point! Writing is the FUN part, doing the work is the FUN PART, doing the hard & “boring” things are the reward. Making things is gratifying.

If you're in Melbourne, come play Sonata of Shadows at Ukiyo!
🗡☀️👁🌙

Its finally open! Me and my original group got together again to play it!
To be able to work there is something truly special.

With Avatar getting the MTG set, I have been very happy coming back to their world, but also going into Korra again.

I love Zaheer as a villian. And I am incredibly surprised that I cannot seem to find any footage of the VA Henry Rollins talking about it? Correct me.

The problem of "Owning lots of Altered cards" and the yearning to build a Cube have been both solved and satisfied!

A 6-player Draft Cube is in progress!
I just need sleeves, tokens, and a way to make lots of draft packs!

The internets reaction to the Pope throwing a rave is amazing.

Buddhist monks have been doing Techno for a while now.

Have been really into making Proxy cards, and with the new A:TLA set, I'm making a Moon Rabbit inspired deck, and knew I wanted this card as my Commander.

Please follow and support @hexhollow.bsky.social, they are incredible!

Printed proxies for Floyd's other format "Rock, Paper, Scissors".

I just need to find two friends...

Lately, I feel like we don't consider game design for younger audiences anymore.

When I say "Teach," I don't mean education through academia, but skills like patience, observation, curiosity, I could go on.

I'd like to hear examples of games that do this!

Dandân has been such a fun Magic format and has inspired me immensely! I have been practising printing proxy cards and designs.

He also let me in on something new he has been making, so I made a box and designed to contain it all. It makes me smile!

If we're playing Magic, this is how we do it!

i am so serious:

if you are a new creator and are looking for long term options, please do not put youtube, instagram, or tiktok promotional materials in your roadmap

i'm exclusively sending traffic through my website moving forward bc these "legacy" social media sites are not reliable any longer

Falling deeply into the Magic: The Gathering, I have come to fall in love with Land cards. Landscape paintings I have always found deeply moving and Land is necessary in every deck.

Does anyone know of any blog or video essays talking about lands?
