IM NOT! I still work here, and you will for sure still deal with me.

But this was always the plan. I was only temporary while she got fully onboarded

Iโ€™ll still be hyping the launch in a few weeks so you arenโ€™t getting rid of me fully yet. But thanks for the good times โค๏ธ

As of this week my time as interim Influencer lead on Riftbound is done. @dianadimicco.bsky.social now officially taking over! She is awesome, and you all are in much more capable hands with her โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

For anyone at Twitchcon this weekend, I would love to introduce you to her IRL.

When I switched roles back in Jan 2024 this is one of the secret projects I've been working on.

Its been a long time coming and its still very early in beta stages with a lot of room to grow. But itโ€™s been an interesting challenge to take on, and I cant wait to keep exploring this with you all.

Talent agencies: we have a separate small get together going as well. Shoot me a DM and if there is space to connect happy to find the time.

Current beta Partner Programs members/invitees: we have a small get together for the program. Check your emails or send me a DM if you donโ€™t see the invite.

Speaking of Riftbound is doing demos all weekend at the tabletop space. Sign up IRL every morning for your demo slot. Look for the big Riftbound sign.

I realized I'll probably be in a ton of videos and photos this weekend, but only my hands. So I did something I haven't done since my daughter was born: put on fancy nails.

Bets on if I dont get annoyed with them and pull them off over the weekend?

If you snagged a silly amount of seats, you should expect a communication soon letting you know that some of them will be removed so that we can share our cool game with additional attendees.

You're probably thinking to yourself: What's a silly amount of seats? Anything 5 or more. (3/3)

Just so we're all clear: Each GenCon attendee will receive only one event promo โœจno matter how many times they go through. โœจ So holding multiple seats will only cause pain for others at GenCon trying to learn Riftbound, it wont give you another promo. (2/3)

Headed to Gencon and have a Riftbound demo slot? This message is for you! ๐Ÿ‘€

We love you all and your enthusiasm, but we had several folks who reserved a truly silly amount of our (limited) game slots. Like... super silly. (1/3)

Back again with another #Riftbound card reveal, straight from the bear's paws to your eyes: Sky Splitter!

When we were architecting the set for Origins, we knew we wanted a rune-ramp deck. Big Stuff is, after all, Very Cool. But Big Units are often hard to make good, so how do we support that plan?

A Riftbound card named Gemcraft Seer. It is a Calm Card that costs 3 energy and 1 power. It has 3 Might. It is a Mount Targon Unit. It has Vision, and gives your Other friendly units Vision. Vision is a keyword that says "When you play me, look at the top card of your main deck. You may recycle it". The flavor text reads: The light changes with every reflection.

Things are now crystal clear. Whether you need a little bit of filtering or a backline advantage engine, Gemcraft Seer has you covered!

Looking to run from the storm? Might I suggest holing up in a nice Back-Alley Bar for a while? You'll even get a nice might boost when it's closing time - perfect for ganking!

Today I get to share with you all these #riftboundreveals! As many of you know, I've been fortunate enough to consult on the game since very early on, so I've seen a bunch of iterations of a lot of cards. Let me just say that "Blizzard your team" Anivia is a lot more fun than "Never dies" Anivia was
