I vended my first event in about 8 years today with Lodestone. It was nice to get back to my roots, and we had a great time.

I got some free Deftones tickets after being on the fence about going for the last few months and they ended up being in a suite.

Inside you there are two wolves.

If there's one episode of TV I wish I could force everyone to watch and internalize, it's the 30 Rock where Liz, who has always seen herself as a bullied nerd underdog, finds out she's actually been hated all her life because she's mean.

We're having a staff PowerPoint party at Lodestone in a few weeks, and I need to figure out what to present. My current idea: Why Kesha’s Animal + Cannibal Is the Most Powerful Piece of Pop Music Written in the Last 50 Years

With Happy Gilmore 2 coming out this weekend, I’d like to remind everyone that I have a Shooter McGavin signed Goblin Sharpshooter. It’s not for sale.

Magic is dead. Long live Mahjong

A friend organized Clocktower in the Park today. We rented a picnic shelter, grilled, and played @bloodontheclocktower.com for 12 hours. It was awesome.

Sunday Blood on the Clocktower is Peapod’s favorite activity.

I picked up Blood on the Clocktower at the end of March and yeah, you could say I’ve been a little obsessed.

Biiiig cat.

Peapod is helping set up Blood on the Clocktower.

One advantage to jet lag is that I get to be up early enough to drink my coffee and listen to Tegan and Sara before playing my RCQ today.

A few of my favorite Japan pics from this week.

Went to Nara today and saw some deer.

Played my first 15 player Blood on the Clocktower game tonight. Being the Storyteller in a game that size is exhausting but the game was really close and everyone seemed to have fun.

The only things stopping me from playing in the RC tomorrow are: putting together my deck, registering that deck, waking up on time, finding my table, and playing my matches.

We woke up this morning to find our dog of almost 13 years struggling to breathe and took him to the emergency vet. After consulting with the vet we made the incredibly tough choice to say goodbye. Give your furry friend a belly rub in honor of Walter today. I’ll miss you Bubba.

A 12-player Blood on the Clocktower game on Friday night, followed by Dredge in an RCQ on Saturday— is it my birthday?

I’m waiting outside The Container Store, counting down the minutes until they open like a fiend eagerly anticipating his next hit of those sweet, sweet tiny plastic containers.

I played Blood on the Clocktower for the first time on Friday and absolutely loved it. It felt like a huge upgrade to all the other social deduction games I had played before.

I got to see my favorite band, Boys Night Out, perform in the same venue where I saw them almost 20 years ago. Getting to thank them for the hundreds of times I’ve listened to their albums made me tear up. It was an awesome experience.

Tokyo Metro with my Monday night board game group.

He’s still got a little left in the tank. @ryanoverdrive.bsky.social

Won a Standard RCQ with my own take on Abzan Roots. @fireshoes.bsky.social

Sometimes I get to send some wild @lodestonecg.bsky.social emails.

Why did anyone bother writing any music after Rob Zombie put out Hellbilly Deluxe?

Redid the record wall with some pink and red for Valentine’s Day.

Some of the @lodestonecg.bsky.social crew is making valentines for some of our favorite cards.

Can I just lay in bed for the next 10-15 years?

We’re live!

It’s the best night of the week, and tonight the Collaborative Cube returns! Join us at 6:30 Central as we find out if we can coexist as Cube designers! Twitch.tv/wewillbecubing

We are sad to announce that we have been told by Wizards that they will no longer support us with either funding or invites to Organized Play events. Without this support - especially the invites - it is impossible for us to continue, and there will be no more VML seasons going forward.

Deftones and coffee for breakfast... at noon.

We're big fans of Secret Lairs here on the stream. www.twitch.tv/wewillbecubi...

Drafted my modified version of @andy.luckypaper.co 100 Ornithopters. My equipment deck went 2-1 and was pretty nice.

We’re live!

It’s the best night of the week, and we’re running back The Onebert! Join us tonight at 6:30 Central as we continue to refine an environment where all of the spells cost one mana! Twitch.tv/wewillbecubing

Flipped a whole binder into an empire. Stop playing with me.

I tried drafting a mono red strategy in 100 Ornithopters tonight at @lodestonecg.bsky.social @andy.luckypaper.co

Have you ever wondered what kind of cartoonish regional accent your cats would have if they could magically talk?

I’ve been having weird dreams about bad events at Lodestone from a few years back and writing about it might help. So here is my sad jumbled mess. WARNING: This is not a happy story in the beginning but it ends up much better. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Thank you all for making this weekend awesome. @glhfmagic.bsky.social @calebdmtg.bsky.social @thejanklord.bsky.social @judgerob.bsky.social

Local news was a weird experience.
