This is both the most exciting and the most stressful part of game development!

Be sure to check out the 86'd demo! :)

#indiegame #goblinweek #gobgame #cookingsim #cookinggame

I recently resumed a Ravnica-based kinda D&D interactive fiction campaign, which I update a few times a week.

And, in early April, I'll have another #Custommagic design game.

Again thank you all for the goblin celebration, and have a great evening!

#MtG #GobGame

I say this each year, but the Goblin Game is one of the highlights of my year, and I'm so happy to be able to continue it here this year.

For those of you new to the game, or who don't know me from twitter, please follow me for more magic-related nonsense.

#MtG #GobGame

It looks like we clocked in at about 40 new goblins born into this world after 8 hours, which is a fantastic-sized warren. Thank you all so much, and keep those designs going!

#GobGame #MtG

We skipped last year's game (see above parenthetical), so although this was only the ninth one, this is the Goblin Game's tenth anniversary. I want to thank all the folks who participated over the last decade. You all have made so many cool goblin cards over the years.

#MtG #GobGame

And with that, I will bring the Ninth annual Goblin Game to a close.

The Goblin Game never really ends (unless the platform on which it is hosted becomes an unusable piece of nazi-infested garbage. Then I guess those rounds stop being playable.)

#MtG #GobGame

A borderless MtG card featuring an image of cartoony goblins celebrating a rainfall of candy. The card has the following rules text: Candy-land WUBRG Land (Purple Rarity) This is how goblins play candy-land! The right way!

My daughter wanted to add her own submission to the #MtG #GobGame this year.

A digital painting of Yoda from Star Wars. He has a serious look on his face, and he's raising his right arm as though he's about to start doing some Force mishigas.

Goblin Game 2024 Final Round

Meet Yoh-Dah, a goblin from the plane of Diznee. Yoh-Dah is far more serene than typical goblins, and a leader of a collection of monk warriors on the plane.

#GobGame #MtG #CustomMagic #MagictheGathering

A goblin holds a sword forward, threatening an unknown party out of frame. To emphasize their point, they hold a pumpkin in their other hand that appears to be the severed head of a pumpkin-based lifeform. They have a necklace of small pumpkins around their neck.

Goblin Game Round 9

Imagine a world where instead of xmas themed holiday cards, wotc sent Halloween ones instead. Make something in the spirit of that. (This is a hard one, don't overthink it.)

#GobGame #MtG #CustomMagic #MagictheGathering

A goblin holding a sword that is glowing with magical white light. The goblin may be speaking passionately, theatrically, but not angrily. Or their mouth might just be open. I don't know. Their presentation is taking place at the foot of a set of stairs. Behind them, other goblins are gathered, one holding a stringed instrument, another holding some striped cloth.

Goblin Game Round 8

Create a card with the card name, "Goblin Attorney."

#GobGame #MtG #CustomMagic #MagictheGathering

A goblin with a mining pick and green goggle-lenses raised above their eyes professionally assesses a glowing green gem while other goblinoid creatures observe them in the background.

Goblin Game Round 7

This goblin will neither make treasures nor sacrifice them, but he certainly cares about you having them a great deal.

#GobGame #MtG #MagictheGathering #CustomMagic

A goblin, wearing a tattered fur-lined cloak and a jeweled crown stands tall in a wave of zombie goblins. His torso and head are glowing, from behind his skeletal structure, allowing us to see his skull and ribcage through his skin. Both his hands are aglow with necromantic magic as he commands the goblin zombie horde.

Goblin Game Round 6

Let's make a Goblin-Zombie typal lord.

#GobGame #custommagic #mtg #magicthegathering

A goblin with a white mohawk and symbolic tattoos stands holding a small hatchet in the air. The hatchet glows blue as it is struck by lightning. in the background, a large lion with green eyes, horns, and a nose ring stands behind her, ready to help her out.

Goblin Game Round 5

Design a card that has Partner With for that Lion in the background. Do not tell me what the lion does, but I should probably be able to make an educated guess.

#GobGame #MtG #Custommagic #MagictheGathering

A goblin from World of Warcraft standing outside of Stormwind. The Goblin is bruised and bleeding, but it smiling gleefully, holding a small bag of coins in one hand and holding up a gold coin to admire in the other. An arrow is lodged in their spiked leather pauldron, and more arrows are descending in an arc towards them.

Goblin Game Round 4

For this card, design a non-creature spell. It doesn't have to call out goblins specifically, but it should feel gobliny, not just have art that happens to feature a goblin.

#GobGame #MtG #Magicthegathering #custommagic

A horrific looking goblin, surrounded by mist. There are bones and protrusions jutting out of their back, teeth-like spikes forming an almost mouth in their torso. Their actual teeth look like there are too many of them and they are in the wrong place and the wrong angle. Their eyes glow orange. They have a second left arm underneath their beefier left arm. They have a belt of humanoid skulls.

Goblin Game Round 3

This is a monoblack rare goblin creature, but it's not legendary, and it doesn't care about other things dying or being in the graveyard.

Art by Vladimir Matyukhin: www.artstation.com/artwork/xYqnOR

#GobGame #MtG #MagicTheGathering #CustomMagic

A goblin, hiding behind a log in the woods, holds a stick and line, dangling a luminous green fae creature (which may or may not be alive) above the log, catching the attention of a pair of wanderers in the background.

Goblin Game Round 2

This one is for a signpost uncommon. What kind of deck does this one want you to draft?

Otherwise, go nuts! Let's make some goblins!

#GobGame #MtG

Attn all MtG Folk.

This week Wednesday, starting around noon EST, I will be holding the Ninth (!!!!!!!!!) annual Goblin Game here on bsky. I would direct you to previous Goblin Games so you could get a sense what it was about, but those were held in the badlands where I no longer venture. #GobGame

Just let me know when we've got a #GobGame going...
