I got soaked to make this but such is life on the High Seas.

If you've never played the RxPL and you are eligible, I really encourage you to register (from Jun16)! Every year Kiki & Elaine put their hearts and souls into making it a premium community event. You might just walk away with extra loot!

Ended 9-6 in #ptlondon (5-2 draft, CC you do the math lol) which I'm pretty happy with. Loved cheering on friends, and had a great time meeting all my opponents except one - my boyfriend, who I was paired against round TWO. I had to send him on the path to the calling where he's now 8-1!

Loyalty is its own reward.

If you saw "Endear Devotion" and thought, "Wow, I'd really like that in 0 cost" this card is for you.

More gorgeous art from The Hunted.

Have had so many good moments in FaB this year, but 2 months later, this is what I keep coming back to when the impostor syndrome kicks in. Will never forget @bryango.bsky.social's words on the Osaka stream this year :) hope it encourages all of you as much as it does me

You have always been willing to shine a light on the parts of this hobby that many might prefer to ignore and that is incredibly important. You and the other awesome people in this community have kept me going. I hope it won't feel so exhausting for us someday soon

Mercy Bickell @merkittens.bsky.social · Dec 22

This year, I got really tired of the pervasive sense of disbelonging in #fabtcg that comes from being a minority in the space. I nearly quit because of the toll it was taking. When I see LSS continue to support those who are so openly bigots, that exhaustion deepens, and obviously, I am not alone.

@fabtcg.com I am publicly asking that you please consider reviewing your content creator policies and how you decide who gets content creator promotional materials.

I cannot appreciate a public facing content creator who uses their platform in this way.

Had a great time this weekend meeting people, jamming side events, and watching these two teammates 🖍️. But extra proud of my partner @briguyfab.ascent-gaming.com who's consistently been getting sooo close to t8s finally getting another one. keeping the #fabtcg standards in this household high!!

Easton Douglas @tealwaterfab.ascent-gaming.com · Dec 16

Got 2nd at Calling Chicago and my @ascent-gaming.com @minmaxgames.com teammate Brian Lorenz top 8ed with my exact 80! Not bad for my return to the game after a pretty long break. Looking forward to London!

Mercy Bickell @merkittens.bsky.social · Nov 20

Not gonna lie, I bought it a couple weeks beforehand because it looked so Rosetta themed, and I definitely fantasized about wearing it in t8 🥺

Mercy Bickell @merkittens.bsky.social · Nov 19

It's actually probably not because of the reason you would think, and more to do with being too nauseated during the tournament 😞
