In Santa Cruz we have been rotating a Salt Mat between set releases. Whenever a player in possession of the playmat loses a game, they have to sign it and pass it to the winner. The results have been really fun! We’ve rotated the playmat through set releases, going to whoever ends with it! #fabtcg

1. Personal Bests: Your 5-10 (or more?) best results from the previous/current year

2. Yahtzee: Your best result in each category
- Tier 4 Event
- Calling
- Nationals
- Battle Hardened
- Pro Quest

Can put a 2 year limit on Yahtzee as well maybe.

3. Something related to roll of honor could be neat

Since we’re supposed to get a #fabtcg celebration stream on the 19th, other than predicting that they will tell us what Silver Age is all about, I want to throw my guesses for the system replacing Elo:

So excited for Elo to go away lol

Died in LL PQ QFs on DIO. Dumb punts in both games vs Chane cost me getting to top 4 :)

Every fabtcg anniversary ppl share fun stories about how the game has changed their life, but like..dog I met my life partner at a PQ that we BOTH bombed out of and had to wait for our rides to finish finals…in 2 years we’ve been to 10 countries and gone on a million side quests. I rlly won.

Thankful I indoctrinated judges in our area. This is event 3 in a row and if it wasn’t for one of the other gamers stepping in I wouldn’t be able to play locally until after event FIVE

Anyway peep the gamer wall

Been away for a while, but here I am trying to get back on track. Here's Vigorous Roar, a card I got to paint a while ago and released recently for @fabtcg.com - Super Slam!
AD: Robbie Wen & Sam Yang.

A muscular and heavy orc-looking Brute scantily dressed in leather, fur and bone stands in the middle of a market scene, his legs and arms wide apart. He's looking up, roaring at the sky with his fists clenched. The intensity of his voice makes passersby fall to their knees and cover their ears, while crates, produce and clothes get blown away.

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

To be clear, they said they’re only not having Blitz events for things like Skirmishes and above right? So Armory and On Demand still will exist?

Tommyb5k @tommyb5k.bsky.social · 5d

Pretty sure those Blitz precons are about to be great Silver Age precons guys!

TLOU and Horizon Zero Dawn almost get me there, but I’ll withhold my money from Hasbro until they release the Sanderson set. The Cosmere is the universe that will break me
