I still have scans of the painted pages for A Council of Dragons from a licensing proposal I put together for a Magic comic way back in early 1994 before I ever ran my first event. I realized Magic had broken through when all the big publishers were knocking on their door as well.

Together again for the first time! Join me and @misterorange.bsky.social each week on Slay by Slay: The Official Cataclysm Arcade podcast. We are going to be going behind the scenes of the monumental task of launching a new game with a brand new IP. youtu.be/KQJx4dBe__8

Play in tournament is way better than the playoffs.

Al Horford every time he drains a three.

For the Mireille Enos crowd.

I think Coby White’s agent may have Quantum Leaped into his body.

Coby White is playing like he is in the last year of his contract or something.

Didn’t feel like making something so just dropped some tots and nuggets in the air fryer. But then I felt like I needed something to zhuzh them up and made a dipping sauce wish fig preserves, Calabrian chiles, honey mustard and fish sauce. Went full-on fancy trashy.

NERD INFERNO is out April 28th from @darkhorse.com. Every day until then I will post something from the 648-page juggernaut. Today: A short comic from DORK that most of the younger readers won't get. These things happen. Then again, some folks didn't get it back when it first ran. Be seeing you!

Omg @jimtsf.bsky.social and @toriofthevast.bsky.social Huge news on the #pierogidiscourse front. The return of 415 am pierogi for the first time since pre-pandemic.

If a pizzeria doesn’t offer a white walking slice just keep walking until you find one that does.

I have really loved following this comic online and am excited to back this. Alex is a tremendous writer I have had the pleasure to work with in the past and Pat Kennedy has just blown me away with a timeless yet utterly modern art style.

This is the way.

I need a recommendation for a new game to play on my iPad. Have slain spires (although not as many as I would have liked) and Balatro’d. Ideally something that is a one and done purchase since I kinda fucking hate free to play games pretty intensely.

Did the president actually accuse the pope of being “weak on nuclear weapons”? It seems like a prerequisite for wearing the pointy hat?

Al Pastortini now on the #dogsearmenu

I will put this Knicks slice up against any non-Brooklyn arena’s slice in the league.

In a not-so-shocking turn of events ROOSTER also seems pretty great!

I keep a notebook near my bed to scribble down any story fragments or world building that might come up in my dreams before they dissipate. I remember nothing about this note but can only assume it is a message from the future.

SHRINKING is so good I will probably watch ROOSTER even though I don’t want to.

Sick! Let’s go! WTB 10 Mana Vault + 10 Hurkyl’s Recall

If Mana Vault is truly not on the list, some kind of like 10x Mana Vault with Hurkyll's Recall and a couple Time Twisters... Wait, was Mana Crypt printed before Homelands???

A deck check nightmare.

Going through some old Duelist Magazines for my Magic Con panel and came across this non-Highlander, points-based, proposed constructed format. This issue was February of 1996 so the most recent release would have been Homelands. What are we building?

Just wait until I start wheezing out stories about killing two copies of the same creature with this card before "legend" became a supertype or whatever the hell it is now under the previous previous legends rule. But first my nap.

back in the day this used to be the mono blue doom blade 😎

After lots of cajoling from Sheldon and Scott to play EDH it was this card, in a deck handed to me by Ron Foster that made me fall in love with the format. Of course I was using it to repeatedly kill other people’s generals per the legend rule of the era.

Once again I am asking for you to sign up for discord.gg/cataclysmarcade The first 500 folks to join will get a free booster pack of @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social — the game I have spent the last year+ developing and world-building with some pretty amazing artists.

Love of the game aside, Billy Chapel never throws that perfect game with modern pitch clock rules.

What is the first pick here? For context on the card pool it is a pretty mid Easter brunch spot.

The alternate name for this drink was No Soap, Radio.

What other TCG out there can offer a free alter by the one and only @klugalters.bsky.social ? You have to check out @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social now and please join their discord: discord.gg/cataclysmarcade

Today I learned I can read German

A pineapple gimlet going into permanent residence on the #dogsearmenu

Sending this @klugalters.bsky.social original sketch card out on Monday. Glad it is finding a happy (albeit teary-eyed) home. Congrats @mtgdad.bsky.social and thank you for being part of our growing community at discord.gg/cataclysmarcade

Made a shiitake, spinach, onion, and goat cheese feta frittata topped with tater tots for dinner tonight. And lunch tomorrow.

The streaming algorithm has definitely figured out that my preferred category of movie is “Mid to mid-high crime and not-so-thrillers.”

Now do this with Scryfall

We're live. www.flickchart.com All-new. Years in the making.

So essentially Pam Bondi won a PTQ for Dancing with the Stars?

ScandiBosch!

Hanging out in the Card Spotlight section of Discord.gg/cataclysmarcade talking about how my late cat Chatty inspired the creation of Murder Countess. How did this sweet little girl inspire a murderous fighter in the post-apocalyptic NYC subway tunnels of Cataclsym Arcade? Join and find out!

Iced Teetotal Tuesday on the #dogsearmenu

Here's the content of the post: I made a video about Magic’s fan made formats like Dandân, Basic Land Game, Commander, Cube and Party Box. I'd love it if you gave it a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBAU...

After a lightly bumpy season 1 I am totally in on season 2 and legit think Anna Sawai is turning in one of the best acting performances on TV right now. Plus Kurt Russell Kurt Russelling.

How is it not Godzilla!?! They say it like 800 times!

Kind of funny how their description is pretty much exactly what BDM has said. Could be a good fit there!

1) Cataclysm is a fantastic game and if you haven't tried it, you absolutely should 2) This opportunity is insane tbh

Hey. Someone* told me someone* is giving away an original sketch card by @klugalters.bsky.social over at Discord.gg/cataclysmarcade Just need to be a member of the channel and post a gif in #giveaways to be eligible for a lucky pull on Friday. *that someone is me.

Looking back over old bookmarks and so much of the gaming content I would read every morning over coffee has mutated into video, quick-hit content. I get it but I do love *reading* about games. What are the must-read sites for Magic/TCG/tabletop gaming content for you these days?
