Leah if you ever desire an unhinged bespoke token, please know that I will draw one for you at any time. I’m truly having the time of my life

I truly recommend it, it’s heaps of fun !

not even a month into 𝓳𝓲𝓷𝓲'𝓼 𝔂𝓮𝓪𝓻 𝓸𝓯𝓯 and they're already drawing little critters, wildly overcommitting to bits, nature is healing...

And not to be a little sap, but burning so much energy on Big Professional Projects last year, I am so, so deeply enjoying dedicating the same intensity of purpose to something as silly as my insane phalanx of squirrel tokens. God bless them every one

What’s the ending to this story? Jokes on you sucker - I’m still at it! I will draw squirrels every day until I don’t want to anymore. So far I’ve tested six different border styles for a print run. I’m currently drawing terrible elf tokens as a gift, and beasts are next. Beasts are next!!

After a couple of days I have over eighty squirrels tokens, so I start drawing squirrel-themed treasure, food, and clue tokens. At this point i accept that I might like drawing squirrels more than I like playing magic the gathering. My favourite is the telephone wire squirrel

I decide to draw tokens ahead of a scheduled game - to refine the bit! I research a range of squirrel genus for my 1/1 tokens. I find myself saying things like “so fascinating that prairie dogs are ground squirrels,” to which everyone says “what’s a prairie dog.” I also make impostors

*learn from me - the valentine’s squirrel placating strategy is nonviable. Repeat, it is nonviable

Your gf’s commander dies to squirrels for the third time? valentines squirrel softens the blow*. Knife squirrel is bad news for you; a nervous squirrel token signals a Hail Mary manoeuvre for me. I drew a caves of lascaux squirrel token. Then shadow puppets. No squirrel, just prints. it begins

I’ve been playing a lot of Commander, mostly with a Chatterfang deck. For the unfamiliar - Chatterfang generates 1/1 squirrel tokens, which can attack, or be sacrificed for useful effects. I’ve been drawing my own squirrels mid-game to reflect the mood of their summoning. This started out normal

I will pull a borderless Momo, Friendly Flier when the Avatar The Last Airbender MTG set comes out next week. First pack. It Will happen.

Six weeks since Game Worlds opened - a lifetime, a millisecond.
For so long, this show only existed to me, Bethan, and a handful of others, - and now it belongs to thousands of you as well.
Thank you to everyone who has visited so far - the response has been unfathomable 💘✨

Interview with Team Cherry for Hollow Knight Silkson From Ludum Dare beginnings to the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong, explore Team Cherry’s creative journey in this in-depth interview tracing their career.

Silksong is out today - and I am so excited to share my deep-dive into the game's development.
I spoke with Team Cherry about Silksong's design, its origins, and the creative principles that drive their work. I'm thrilled to share it:

I miss writing. I've had so damn few opportunities this year.

I started a video channel largely to keep momentum going but it quickly became my dominant space for work out of sheer necessity.

What you’re describing here is basically @superjumpmagazine.com; I can’t wait to read reflections on this game from our team. There are too few sites focusing on the elements you describe here, IMO.

I hope you don’t mind a bit more self-promo! 🙏

I love the self-promo - really appreciate your good work x
