I love these two dragons so much, but I feel like they get oppressively powerful so easily. I'm gonna build 'em using one of my favourite restrictions--only commons in the 99, including lands! Favourite commons in UR and WB?

Stoked that I opened Karn in my boostie box! I'm excited to build him with the restriction of ZERO colorless artifacts (no sol ring, no arcane signet, no talismans, no chromatic orrerry)

Karn, Gilded Guardian
{2/W}{2/U}{2/B}{2/R}{2/G}
Legendary Artifact Creature — Golem

Vigilance, trample

When Karn enters, draw a card for each color among other artifacts you control.

Karn forged the empty world of Mirrodin and filled it with peaceful creations.

i think a lot of #ttrpg enjoyers think the term "cinematic" means bombastic, heightened, loud, or zany. When the INTENTION of the term for RPGs is: Cinematic - Combines mechanics, narrative, pacing, and unpredictability to stimulate a deep emotional response in players and their characters.

Reminder that ADHD and OCD aren't cute, funny, or 'super powers.' They are conditions that make many peoples' lives much more difficult than they need to be. Joking about having one or the other because you're having trouble focusing or you happen to like things to be organized & tidy isn't cool.

Secondarily - having so many GMs be [so] subtle and [so] guarded/obfuscated with details means that players may habitually look at tiny coincidences or inconsistencies as INTENTIONAL clues or foreshadowing, throwing them WAY off into the weeds. That often causes frustration and confusion.

Be more direct. Your subtle worldbuilding hints and suspicions are fantastic for fiction, but not for play. "Something somewhere is doing something to affect the water -hint- in Olvermire!" is worthless. "A dragon has chased all the fishmen from Whitethorn mountain, they've overrun Olvermire!"

@steelcitysteph.bsky.social gave me the great suggestion of using card envelopes to mail MtG cards in, and I remembered that I have my grandfather's collection of very over-the-top greeting cards that he used to collect. So, I'm making use of them for card sales 😂

Try to make time during your #TTRPG sessions to voice how seriously you're taking the game and how much thought you're putting into your (potentially wacky) decisions. GMs are empowered to hear you're thinking beyond your nose, it makes them more trusting that you're respecting the game and them.

I'd like to buy a collector booster box for every set that's interesting to me (unfortunately $550 for Reality Fracture, which is DOWN from Hobbit prices means I can't do that any more). I end up with quite a few cards I'll never use, so I'm culling my collection! Feels good to downsize

Should the players make a plan [at all] you should not only be receptive to it, you should celebrate it. If they pitch an idea that obviously shouldn't work, say that directly and without obfuscation. If you let plans work consistently, you'll get more confident (and faster) future plans out of PCs

You (GM) have complete, undiluted understanding of what's happening in the world. Your players gain only 1/4 of that information through what you, specifically, tell them. That balances out to leave your players GUESSING and asking QUESTIONS about the remaining 3/4 of the world.
