When you havent played Magic for a while,

And you finally sit down with your friends again,

The playful banter, resolving some dumb plays,

The satisfaction ❤️

Working on something that requires referencing old Paizo books and I was struck by the cover of our extremely old Belkzen orc book, and how far we've come. The book cover features the iconics battling "barbaric" orcs. Now, if we visit Belkzen, we center orcs as compelling characters and even heroes.

Right!? I went to see it with a buddy and it was some of the most fun I’d had in a theater in awhile.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Four people around a dinner table playing magic, and a coffee table and couches around another in-progress game of magic.

Got a hold a big FriendCon today ❤️ It’s so special to connect and spend time with people to care about—while doing something you all enjoy.
I didn’t meet all these people playing Magic. I’ve stayed in touch with a lot of these people because of playing Magic.
It’s really nice to have hobbies.

I may not be at GenCon this year but I’m going to celebrate my own four days of gaming in its honor.

Now we are kicking off Day 4 of Magic Camp! This is the last full day (tomorrow is a partial day) which I am a bit sad about since it has been so much fun! We are starting with @magic.wizards.com Constructed & playing decks we are not as comfortable with (which for me means control).

Hi, we’re Women+ in Magic: a community creating safe, welcoming spaces for women and gender diverse players 🏳️‍🌈

Because the real barrier isn’t the theme of the sets, it’s feeling comfortable at the table.

Join us and let’s make Magic truly inclusive!✨

very sketchy pixel art of a red stone mount with a green grass field beneath it, a character with long brown hir, purple cape and sword above the mount looking at the night sky with some pink clouds and stars.

When I was frustrated and wanted to make something loose without any care for technique to battle the anxiety.

My beloved juniors, please take this advice to heart

If you're invited along with industry professionals you admire, you don't need to put any effort into impressing them. You're doing just fine the way you are, everyone just wants to vibe. Partake in conversations just like you'd normally do.

Acclaimed Colorado sci-fi author: Future stupider than I imagined Paonia writer Paolo Bacigalupi reflects on 10 years since the publication of his climate thriller “The Water Knife.”

For once, a very good headline, and of course @paolobacigalupi.bsky.social is not wrong here
