Finally a good excuse to show this project off for #fabcw #fabtcg. Laser cut plywood drawers for each set, C/R sorted alphabetically, sleeved majestics stored separately in the front. The first drawer with a gem symbol holds equipment pieces in minisnaps. All ready for Super Slam!

Haven't had the chance to actually play it yet but we're playing a few events in Warsaw this month! Absolutely pogged to check out Dori in a low-power format with rainbow Warrior's Valor and without everyone running 2 Sink 2 Fate.

I spend almost as much time making random stuff for my synths as playing them but hey I'm having the time of my life

j4 @j4nw.com · May 28

Got a TD-3-MO to round off my setup with another synth I can drive from my Circuit Tracks, 3D printed a stand that can hold up to 2x Aira Compact (or something similarly small) in front of the sequencer because I'm not using that shit
