It's the update report for September 29, 2026! Chief among these fixes is "vampire characters will no longer be named 'The Vampire'" which is huge for us, tbh. Start creating worlds instantly at hiddendoor.co!

One of my favorite and most effective design patterns is "tell the player exactly what you're gonna do to them, then do it." You can be SIGNIFICANTLY meaner to the player if you simply tell them ahead of time that that's exactly what you'll be doing, and also the suspense of the warning is a delight

Louise Bourgeois The Hour is Devoted to Revenge 1999

"The houris devoted to revenge" a delicate, abstract drawing placed in the lower-left quadrant. The drawing is a dense, organic mass composed of hundreds of tiny, overlapping, hand-drawn loops and concentric scribbles. It resembles a tightly coiled wool ball, a simplified flower head, or a complex psychological knot, rendered in a muted gray or soft purple ink.

There should be more art of planeswalkers with their sparks depicted like Mary's Immaculate Heart or Jesus's Sacred Heart in catholic art. A lost spark could be represented with a blacked out void where the spark used to be. I think it could be cool idk

Our new modifier card brings the delight of an idyllic garden and NONE of the guilt of being a plant murderer. Leave those windowsill herb pots at the store, where they can find a loving home
