The schedule for the trans lifeline fundraiser is up, and we have a stacked lineup!
To get questions set up for our two amazing panels, I'm personally matching the first 1000 dollars donated before the stream (which Hasbro will then match), so use the link below to donate now! tilt.fyi/Jr23vhNVE6

Been a busy few days traveling, but I spent the last weekend playing at the World Series of Board Games. The event was an absolute blast, and I won the Phoenix Belt (won the most side/rebound events). Looking forward to going back next year!

Been doing a draft or two each night once friends head to bed while on vacation, and just ended up in mythic with this beauty. I have really enjoyed the sacrifice decks in the set, feel very combo-adjacent in a way that suits me #wotcstaff

Saw this from Tumblr and it really resonated with me. If you engage with/talk a lot about HP stuff, you can and should do better. I don't think people realize how much referencing this stuff continues to give her power and makes the trans people around you uncomfortable.

Trying to get in the habit of cross posting here more, really love how this new dress looks on me.

We had our internal Final Fantasy Set Championship today, and I made top 8 again, this time in cosplay! As of last time I was the only person to have top 8ed all of these, so gotta keep the streak going.
Unrelated but I didn't want to do another post: going live playing Ark Nova: twitch.tv/hogpog_98

So excited for Xu-ifit being previewed, this card was my baby. I was involved in every stage of it from concepting to design to creative. Stay tuned for details 👀

Spent most of today cubing, which Arya would you rather sit down opposite?

Headed to march at pride with Wizards of the Coast, I'll let my shirt speak for itself.

It's time to announce the schedule! Thread below with the details, you can also find the schedule on the event page. All in all, the stream will go from 10am Pacific till 8pm, and I will be on the whole time hosting, introducing, and sometimes joining my wonderful colleagues!

Be prepared for me to post a ton about this in the next few days because I'm so excited! Spent most of my time the last few weeks working on this and we have a fantastic roster. Will be doing a full schedule breakdown tomorrow, until then, donate here: tiltify.com/@hogpog-98/m...

Trans colors tamiyo for the TDM Set championship!
The set champs are a new (this is the third one) internal gp-style limited tournament at the end of a set, and while the field for this one is insane as usual, I'm hoping to defend my title from the DFT champs! #wotcstaff

Dressed up for the FIN internal prerelease today. It's my first time ever cosplaying, how do I look? #wotcstaff

New on here, if we're mutuals on the other place please reply so I can follow you here. In lieu of any sort of introduction here's a (mostly true) piece of fiction about me from a few years ago.
