A video secretly about the coolest Magic video game
Fallen Empires was an abject disaster that should’ve killed Magic dead. 31 years have passed. We're all still here.

Inkle's the man, bro
We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found.

And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange.

We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

Ana decided to call out payment processors and their unilateral response was attempting to fuck up her life and that should be bigger news than it is as of now
The full count as of today:

YouTube suspended
Twitch banned 3x
Patreon suspended (temporary)
Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)
Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?)
Buy Me a Coffee suspended
Vice reporting censored
Pornhub censored 3x times
Fansly censored 1x
Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??

Times are desperate, things are as tight as they can get before I start falling behind on bills, not to mention I need to get a car.
If you, or anyone you know, is need of a Technical Writer, Program Manager, or OSINT specialist-I am unemployed and on the hunt. I'll have my creds in the replies 1/3

It's the 31 Days of Archiveween! Every day I share a scary alter from the archives until you beg me to stop (I will never stop).

Today's Archiveween post is Path to Exile, from art by Sam Smith for the Criterion release of Nobuhiko Obayashi's "House" (1977)

I won't lie chat. Unemployment is rough, and things are tight as it is, let alone the fact that I need to get a car now.

If you have the means and desire a commission hmu. I'm easy to work with and my rates are negotiable. You can find my Ko-Fi and Redbubble in my bio as well if you'd like! 💖
Finally put together some Commission pricing sheets! My comms are WIDE OPEN

All pricing is negotiable, within reason. Feel free to reach out with ideas not shown here!

Not in the market for art? Consider sharing this post!

I'll be streaming games to help raise money for Seattle Children's Hospital this November. I'll be participating in a game of Time Walk, as well as once again struggling to complete a game of Magic: the Gathering Battlemage. You can donate here: www.extra-life.org/participants...

What are some of your favorite pieces of Magic art not from an actual card? They could be from supplemental media, marketing, packaging, concept art, etc.

The economics of books aren't quite the same as the economics of card sets. They cost less, but involve more dedicated work by one person, which means that in most cases, they take longer. A book represents a major leap of faith for a franchise like Magic.

Let's earn it.
In addition to the #MTGStrixhaven web fiction there will be a full novel set in the school of Strixhaven penned by Seanan McGuire!

Omens of Chaos is a YA novel set at Strixhaven about the first-ever class of interplanar students who have journeyed to the school via Omenpath.

Generally I consider it pretty bad form to buy into the consumerist hyper cycle around Magic release but also YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKO
If you were there for the original Lorwyn and Shadowmoor sets, Lorwyn Eclipsed will definitely have cards that 'evoke' some memories.

Hybrid mana from Shadowmoor, Evoke from Lorwyn, this Incarnation has it all! #MTGLorwyn

BW NATION WHERE WE AT?? GOT A BANGER FREAK LINED UP
Creatures and characters in Lorwyn Eclipsed can change whether they are from Lorwyn or Shadowmoor. If only we had a mechanic that could do that!

The twin Elementals, Eirdu and Isilu! #MTGLorwyn

My latest book is officially available on Kobo (and kobo plus). My goal is 30 kobo sales by the end of the weekend. I know it’s a tall order, but it would mean the world to me 💙📚
