(If you ever have an interest in Magic, Sam’s work is wonderful. He connects the game to history/culture + digs into individual set/card micro-narratives.)

Thank you! Much appreciated for the variety.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks Kess! So glad you responded - could I also trouble you for any recs on where to play Magic? Was hoping to find a good store or group to meet up with while I’m in town.

Thank you so much Cat - these all look incredible. Super appreciate you taking the time to send them!

Open to anything! And anywhere geographically is great, will be traveling all over. Much appreciated!

Do you have any currently-open LA faves or recs? (Will be in town in the spring and compiling any and all places worth trying - thanks!)

I’ve been thinking along this same line w/r/t multiplayer games; any in-game competition is one metric of success, but the ebb-and-flow of the narrative drama along the way is what makes them memorable. (Definitely not a novel take, but it’s an engaging q of how to organically foster that drama!)

Hadn’t seen this in ~a decade and still laughed at “YOU FIND A NEW GOD”

Initially read “Al pastor” as if it was “Artificial Intelligence clergy,” which threw me for a loop for a sec - slightly different vibe than everything else

Skim-read this as “bacon egg and cheese,” wondered what was wrong, went back to re-read it and immediately recoiled
