Wow. Three of us in different locations refreshing browsers at 1:00pm trying to get an exhibitor table for @flamecon.bsky.social this year and it’s sold out in SECONDS. And now the site won’t even load. Really disappointed.

Last night I watched the Oscar Award-winning film Cliffhanger, but I replaced most of John Lithgow’s lines with Winston Churchill quotes. It worked surprisingly well.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

The noise that hybrid and electric cars make when in reverse or full electric mode is the choral synth from Blue Monday. Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.

At my book club and someone said a story we read had nods to Frankenstein and Alice in Wonderland in it. And then I thought “oooh, what about Frankenstein in Wonderland” and then I realized that from the golem’s perspective, he’s always in Wonderland.

This will hit small manufacturers and budding designers hardest of all. Steve Jackson isn’t a small name in this space. A price hike for them is a death knell for a smaller press.

I love me some “-punk” games. But good-got-dang not everything needs to be -punk. I wrote a game that was about actual punks flying pirate ships around a sentient void, but I’m not out here calling my game piratepunk, shippunk, musicpunk, sentientvoidpunk, or trombonepunk.

Funny story: I met Josh and Chris at GameFace Con in Baltimore. The con had been open for 10 minutes. Their games were laid out nicely. They were friendly without being overbearing. Their games were good. I was impressed! Then, to celebrate, [name redacted] spilled a beer across their entire table.

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.
We are sad to announce that we have been told by Wizards that they will no longer support the VML program with either funding or invites to Organized Play events. 

Without this support - especially the invites - it is impossible for the league to continue, and there will be no more VML seasons going forward.

Over the past five years, we’ve radically changed competitive Magic for the better. When we started the program with 26 players back in Season 1, we never thought that we would end up having served hundreds of competitors and with over a thousand people in our community. We have sent cohorts of people to the Set Championships, Regional Championships, and Pro Tour. As a result of our program, representation of people of marginalized genders at the highest levels of play has multiplied from a handful at each event to over twenty who will play at PT Chicago. Several of our team members and players have gone on to be hired to work at Wizards. 

We are also proud of the change we’ve created in the broader sense. The Magic community is a much more diverse, vibrant, and inclusive place than it was five years ago. The gender balance at in-person events has improved significantly, and the overall image of the game has changed for the better. We don’t claim to have caused all of that, but we are happy knowing our efforts have played a part. 

We want to thank all the organizations who have worked with us and supported the cause: Good Luck High Five, Lodestone Coffee, NRG, Team Arclight, MTG Melee, BOP!, and the many wonderful creators, personalities, and players who have contributed. 

To everyone who has been a part of the team here: you have all been brilliant, and without your passion and dedication we would not have made it this far. Every single one of you has gone above and beyond, giving your time and effort generously to the program and you should be extremely proud of yourselves. 

Finally, to our awesome community: we’re sorry that we couldn’t keep this projec…

On a writing retreat and a bunch of them are in the next room doing one of these intense dance workout routines led by some (I assume) wizard named Gandalf. I am in the kitchen cooking dinner, yelling out LOTR quotes to the beat.
