Oh shoot I missed that! But yeah, the Weatherseed callback is appreciated!!

I’ve long lamented one of my all time favorite cards, Weatherseed Treefolk, is on the reserve list and can’t be reprinted into Standard. When Michelangelo releases, not only can I play it in Standard I can build a #CMDR deck around it! Get your Bene Supremo ready!!

Loved it the first watch, loving it so far on the rewatch! So well crafted!!

Bennie Smith The Complete Commander @completecmdr.bsky.social · 1d

My feelings are jumbled. I thought it was well made, and I appreciated that the twists were completely unexpected!

Worth a bookmark if you write!

My hot take is that none of these are structure. These are all recipes that describe structure.

Structure is the Salt, Fat, Acid Heat of writing.

3-Act/Hero's Journey etc are recipes.

You can make great meals without using a recipe if you understand the principles of structure.

So #WritingCommunity how do we feel about structure?

Do you use the 3 act structure? The 5 act?

Hero's Journey? Save the Cat? Super Structure Method? Story Genius Method?

Something else?

What have you got?

I also started a rewatch of Flanagan’s The Haunting of Hill House series on Netflix. Still so good second time around!

Today I was thinking about small kindnesses, simple inexpensive things that brighten a day, and I thought about how the receptionist at my school saved me from humiliation in front of the Headmaster on account of having left my belt in a vase.

Pretty damn hyped! Especially if they ensure that all the Dwarf characters are badass!

I got in the queue relatively early, and it took nearly three hours of waiting to get through. Thankfully, the SL I wanted hadn't sold out by then. And again-- SL's should be a combination of print ahead AND print to demand like they've done on some charity SLs recently. What they have now sucks.

I've never heard the term "murder-hobo" before, but I've run across it twice in the past 24 hours and find the term amusing and spot-on for that style of "playing" rpgs LOL

For this Halloween season I'm trying to finally watch some horror movies I've always meant to watch. This weekend I watched Barbarian. That was... a movie. LOL
