I just found out you can get a midi interface cable for the Rockband Keytar!!!

This is a potentially serious upgrade to my setup, no cap.

I can’t afford a spiffy newfangled midi device, and this way, I may never have to!

Just finished writing a 4-bar piano jingle!

Maybe there's more to do, maybe not, but it is bed time.

Want to hear it? I'd love your thoughts about what more it needs. Super fun to sequence music again, for the first time in almost two decades.

I sure hope #Discord is watching how fast Magic The Gathering is moving away from a platform we all knew, liked well-enough, and was used by a majority of online paper players. All because a tiny “mistake” broke a loved bot.

Less than a day, we’re on to @girudo.bsky.social and @convoke.games.

We have received many outreaches in the last hour about how to use Girudo as part of @spellbot.io which no longer supports SpellTable. In your discord server, after you input /lfg and click on service, you can choose Girudo as one of the options for your webcam game. GLHF!

This is hands down the best website to use to create your webcam games! They are implementing improvements daily and it better and better with each update!!!
We're sorry to hear about Spelltable's update that makes playing with your community even harder.

Girudo is, and will continue to be, a place for the TCG community. If you're impacted by this, please reach out to the Girudo team. We'd love to work with you to support you and your communities. 🖤🧡
Here's a full write up about the situation with SpellTable.

Long story short: I will soon be turning off support for SpellTable. It's been great 7 years y'all! Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this story <3

SpellBot itself is not going away! We still work with other sites.

Open play game night?! Hell yeah!

Perfect time to get into a new format!
Game night in the Clover discord?
It's more Monday than you'd think!

Monday night, bring a clover deck to the clover discord and get games in with the some of the Rules Committee!

Looking for a new format to play, or challenge your brewing?

#ArsenalMTG is a Commander variant, 60 card, singleton format.

Your commander brings a bonus card to the Command Zone-- their Arsenal. It's a non-colorless vehicle or equipment within their color identity.

Love how hard he works to moderate servers and ensure that the community is a safe and accessible place for everyone.

He currently helps mod my Skull Symbol server, and I'm working on getting my @arsenalmtg.bsky.social one there, too; almost to 100!

With @shoebox.gg right around the corner, I'm excited to say that I'll be going to Shoebox on March 13-15 in St. Paul, MN!

So many different formats to be showcased and I definitely have my @pendragonmtg.com decks for anyone who wants to give it a try (list below)

Can't wait to see you all there!

Our hobby has arrived. Magic is mainstream and cool.

You don’t need to feel like a lonely nerd’s nerd anymore. Go make content and connections with your fellow players, knowing you are engaging with an ever-expanding audience of fellow fun-seekers!

My neurologist’s reception gave me (Pkmn)cards!
Yes we had Magic players win the Superbowl and earn a gold medal at the Olympics on the same night.

That's very cool.

But what you may not know is we also had a Magic player (and his colleague) design and build THE BAD BUNNY BUSH COSTUMES.

@d4dustinf.bsky.social fkn rules. Go follow him.

The setup was kinda jank, but the records are spinning, audio is going out, and the rock keeps rolling!

@puppygirlmab.bsky.social fixed me up good!

Three records to go. Plenty of time to join the show, and yes, I even figured out how to get the chat part of the show to work.
We are LIVE!

The format is a little different for this show. No chat, just music!

(This is why you have tech rehearsals when playing a new venue! The show will be prepared better next time.)

The observation that Rhystic Study is less effective at ruining low power games is one that I can agree with, but I still don’t really think it belongs in EDH.

It works well in #PendragonMTG. In fact, I would argue that competitive Pendragon games are where it is most enjoyably played.

Bobbie-Christine‘s presence, persistence, and positivity has been an angelic presence in my life for almost a year.

She has inspired me often to be tenacious in the face of all that I’ve gone through and lost this last year.

Truly, Bobbie is one of my biggest and most real real-life heroes.

❤️
I am utterly lost of my place in the world and in my own life. Even if I don't reply, please reach out if I mean something to you. Anything. Help me remember who I was at my best.
February 11, 2026 at 4:23 PM
Same here. I’m going to explore the topic tomorrow during my evening show.

Y’all are welcome to join me in the Clover MtG Discord to chat about it!
CRANKERS OF THE CONTENT CREATOR VARIETY! I NEED YOUR HELP!

Can someone please help me with setting up babys first media kit?

I don't even know where to start.

March 13th to the 15th is the first ever @shoebox.gg
We'll be there introducing people to @clovermtg.bsky.social with 20 decks to lend. 16 casual and 4 competitive.
All the Clover decks we have there are 100% sleeved and protected by @quivertime.com products.
Can't wait to see you there.

HP wishes it was as cool as Strixhaven, which protects us somewhat from affiliation with the bigot-tainted brand we’re all booing.

Booing loud now is right and good.

Buy the Strixhaven book, too, if you can. Any pressure you can exert now greatly reduces the resistance force required later.

PLEASE: Let me know if your small format Discord community is finding a new platform.

My mission of bringing #MTGcommunities closer together IS the Innersleeves show.

Scattering and fracturing our communities ONLY EMBOLDENS THIS MISSION.
Ok, so: Innersleeves isn’t going anywhere. This show will find a new home if Discord isn’t where #MagicTheGathering people are in a month or two.

This show can serve as a beacon for staying connected, whatever the platform.

We can bring this show and vibe anywhere!
This radio station will find a way without Discord, if that is what needs to happen.

Drafts is huge. Polls and having the live ring work for Discord, @girudo.bsky.social, or wherever else would be great.
v1.116 is rolling out now!

For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

Still taking interest on this!

Got @dork4short.bsky.social doing wrestling-style introductions, @quivertime.com prize support, @girudo.bsky.social hosting (and possibly more), @beyondthemachina.bsky.social altering a quiver for the winner, and even a championship belt from @trophysmack.bsky.social!
Working on adding prize support and a new hosting platform, among other changes!

This Theme Deck Throwdown wll be bigger and better than ever!

Gonna read it as soon as I get the chance!

Is Stoat (open source discord clone, formerly Revolt) a thing for anyone?

We gotta get backup plans going now for the #Discord exodus, if that’s the plan, for preserving our safety and communities.
