Sick pull, rad art on this one too.

Amazing job on commentary, crushing it!

I'm sure you've thought of this option already, but consider a therapist if anxiety is main issue with your sleep.

Your spoiler videos are always a cut above!

Please talk to this oscilio master mind!

This sort of stuff is what drove me away from MMA. It's sad and, tbh, it's heartbreaking.

I ran Big Game Hunters a #fabtcg event this weekend. It was designed to be a bit like old school magic where players put up ante.

There were also so flavourful twists and turns as players each received a unique Blessing of Chaos or Blessing of Dracai to use during the event. 4x commoner into CC T8.

I actually like it when a show subverts expectations regarding plot armour. The film itself I go back and forth on. I've probably seen it about five times and sometimes I think it's bland and uninteresting, even boring. Sometimes I think it's dark, grim and engaging.

Hunter or Hunted. I'm hosting my second event at my LGS next weekend. Some flavourful additions being prepared.

The games might not be as hard as reading my handwriting :P

I dont know how you turned up on my timeline but ... You post about Generals, you get a follow.

You content is amazing. But just do whatever brings you joy, whether it's staying or leaving.

I'm running my second event at a local store in New Zealand. This one is Hunted themed. As such, participants bring along a bounty of cards and claim bounties from others for each game they win.

Excited to put together another event and do something a bit different for the community :)

I'm famous :O

Your videos definitely helped!

Won my Road to Nationals here in New Zealand playing Oscilio. Taking out 3x CYB decks in the top 8, including beating Calling Champion Matt Rogers and Guardian legend Cayle McCreath.

Ecstatic with the result!

But the prestige of a high placing... ESPECIALLY on Rhinar ... is priceless.

My preference would be for the shared example. I know there's problems either way, but I know there's local players who will now, at a competitive event, need to be coaxed at every moment and will be looking to move quickly their opponent forgets.

It's bad sportsmanship ... but the game allows it

I understand there's advantages and disadvantages both ways ... but James' personal story amounted to being put into a position of playing by the rules or not, not being put in a position of helping his opponent win.

The cards are played, do they take effect?

Dude's a savage!

Day two of the #fabtcg Calling Christchurch on Oscillio with a 5-2 record. Very proud to get this far after setting my goal for the event at 1 win.

Looking forward to the games today :)

Really love it. Also, love how you captured Florence noteable facial structure. Really cool piece!

Aw heeeeell yeah

Hard agree. Only missed opportunity was some flavour text in that ocean of white.

This looks very familiar

It's always nerve wracking to put yourself out there by doing something creative but I bet the results are rad.

It's New Years eve here in New Zealand, wishing all the #fabtcg family a happy New Year and a 2025 filled with great friends and great games.

In card games you might find a 50 yo playing against a 10 yo, a mother playing against her son's friend, a neurodiverse person discussing deck builds with someone else.

I've always thought the strength of the community is it is almost unconditionally accepting of whoever wants to play.

3/3

I was a bit socially awkward growing up and found a home playing Magic cards with friends, people at a local store, and at school (when we weren't kicked out of the library for doing so).

It gave me a sense of community I might not have otherwise experienced and I'm grateful for it.

2/x

One thing I like about TCGs is that they are often welcoming of people who are a bit different in one way or another.

The communities are usually a little odd in someway, and so if someone else comes along who doesn't quite fit a societal norm, then they are welcomed in as one of the same.

Call to the Grave -> Plume -> Ring of Roses is a four of :P
