Dan steered the team from what was probably our lowest point of morale into some of the best times the team has ever seen. When all is said and done, he's the second best captain we've ever had.

Team Wales AoS @ao-wales.bsky.social · Jun 2

After 2 years captaining Team Wales, Dan Arnold has decided to step down.

Dan will still be a part of the Team but we will announce the new captain later this week.

We want to thank Dan for all his hard work, the last 2 years have been a complete joy from a gaming and social perspective

Biden should fall asleep during this speech. It would be the ultimate flex.

I try to get one of these in a year. Partially because the coffee shop around the corner is da bomb, but also because the tournaments are good.

Behold, The Mother of Dragons—which is both the name of and brief for this piece.

My main source of inspiration was the The House of Dragon billboard with Rhaenyra standing in front of Syrax.

I wanted it to look both like the dragon is protecting her and that she in turn is protecting the dragon.

I have a tournament tomorrow and I get this on my phone. Reminds me of when we all decided to do a team tournament at Gatwick during the beast from the east. As I recall only one team dropped? Anyway, we're all morons.

I secretly look forward to Spotify wrapped every year. This year I finally started listening to Sleep Token.

Tough isn't it. I don't want to go back to 8th edition WHF style limitations, but I also don't want the best lists to be a simple min maxing of whatever the most efficient unit happens to be at the time.

Joe once said something on a podcast that changed my mind on this. "It's my money I'll spend it how I like." I can't argue with that.
However I do hope GW implement something to stop spamming, as I don't think it's clever list writing, and I sass things I don't like.
