Battle Hardened Dublin this weekend! Haven’t had much time to figure out what deck I want to play but seem to have finally landed on one.
Hopefully I can put hours in to getting familiar with it this week! #fabtcg #BHDublin

Dungeon Master losing patience in our five year long campaign that my character Zatherine Jetacones won't move into a square before I can "roll for lasers" and, regardless of the result, start narrating that I stick my big ass in the air and lower into a spread eagle split to avoid any goblin traps.

#fabtcg . He went out as he lived. A legend and for one last time, best deck. We’ll see him again but for now, rest. Now…. What the fuck do I play this weekend!?

#fabtcg Qualified for Irish Nationals today with a top 4 finish at the amazing Sligo RTN. Looking forward to a lot more trips to Serious Business in the future! For now though, we prep for the final RTN of the season and it’s my local one. Best deck is dead. What’s next!? 👀👀👀

Team FAB getting it done!

Dave Russell @davetheipc.bsky.social · Feb 3

Turns out that once they name a card after you, you can pretty much just get away with anything. But hey, congrats on winning* the event! And also being the front runner for Player of the Year (no asterisk big enough). Great representation for the game #fabtcg

One down! Made day 2 of the #fabtcg Calling in Prague this weekend. I punted hard on the second draft but lessons learned. We’ll cash the next one 😜

Overheard on plane. “James Hetfield’s story is darker than Kurt Cobain’s” That guy is in for a fucking shock when he gets to the end of Kurt’s biography.

Back to work. If we have to have a Monday, may as well make it a Thursday!

Hang on… it’s called what!? Kiseki, Trails of Cold Steel, you’ve peaked…

Dave Russell @davetheipc.bsky.social · Dec 31

According to PS wrap up, my most played game for October November AND December was Trails of Cold Steel 4. As of 11pm 31 Dec, based on treasure count, I still have 1/3 of the game to go….
I either need to game more or completionist less! Looks like I have my most played of Jan sorted already 😂

Some people like progressing in games at a reasonable clip. Some sadists want goat puzzles at every turn.
Give me the yellow paint please and thanks.

Best deck!

Dave Russell @davetheipc.bsky.social · Dec 28

Hyped for this. Less than 3 weeks to go! Sealed events are funny and not knowing the pool is even funnier. Still though, winning more than I lose is the goal, day 2 being the aspiration.

It’s a multi-faceted approach. I’m currently studying the looks the dogs give when they want a treat.
