Field researchers are advised to exercise caution on this expedition - in these woods, some things are not what they seem.

IOT-004: Still Hollow 🌲 10.18.25

DGUR 06/06 - Hard Energy
Illustrated by @neudaiz.bsky.social

A special Energy card that allows you to bring out a bigger Sawtooth Entity at the cost of one of your existing Entities' life. Sometimes, sacrifices must be made. Only the strong will survive...nothin personnel...kid...

DGUR 05/06 - Neo Destiny
Illustrated by @toadettereal.bsky.social

Every turn, this card allows you to excavate your deck to search for Trance Artifacts. Decibel-wise, this card isn't very powerful, but it is sometimes protected by a certain other Entity from the previous promo set.

DGUR 04/06 - Cyber Energy
Illustrated by @woodgraves.net

This special Energy card allows you to introduce Square DEW Entities much more efficiently, provided you already have some sort of device or gizmo or enrichment item in your ecosystem for them to mess around with. Yes, the Dunk toy counts.

DGUR 03/06 - Citrus Consciousness

Like its real-world and fictional counterparts, CC can re-energize a dormant Entity. You can take 3 sips from the drink can before this card's effect is depleted (they're big sips).

DGUR 02/06 - Trance Energy
Illustrated by @flatbeek.online

Trance Energy is arguably the most important aspect of the card game, and inarguably the most important aspect of real life

Much like MS Alive last year, DG Umbral Rave will have an event-exclusive set of 6 Tranceology cards you can collect at the show

DGUR 01/06 is Dunkleostiës - Plush Predator, illustrated by @neodestiny.net; a cuddly Artifact Entity that will keep your humanoids safe while they are sleeping...somehow

As an efficiency measure we will be observing two employee birthdays on the same day, at the same event. Although the event recognizes two individuals, please celebrate exactly as you would otherwise.
