What's up, Bluesky? I'm Trentyn, and I am probably the biggest Talrand stan you'll ever meet.

This, is #TalrandPosting, the place where I show you my favorite deck: a $20 Talrand deck that I'm in the process of blinging out to it's fullest, most expensive form.

Welcome 💙
Pairing these two gives me big "Classic Commander" vibes and it bums me out that modern EDH is fast enough that I feel like this wouldn't quite be good enough for my normal group

4-mana, 10+ years old cards that probably didn't even see play in their constructed formats have been *chefs kiss* for turning into minis.

Also, all of these were foreign, so the chances of me using them anywhere in cubes, budget brews, w/e else was next to zero.

I finally looked at the full spoiler list for TLA and damn a lot of these cards look cool and also I get support for weird decks like Esper Birbs and Jund Lizards?!

I'm thankful for time and a half pay plus 8hrs of paid holiday (I'm stuck working at least a half day as the on-call)

The digital age of gaming depresses me.

Did you know you can't buy Forza Horizon 3 or 4 on Xbox One (digital) anymore?

You have to buy a physical copy, which seems to become increasingly hard to find for some games/developers.

Just lemme play old games, dude. I like em 😩

I haven't played CanLander in way too long 😩

Small steps, big RPG.

Each day I've been making myself cut out a new mini (from Magic bulk, of course) and write down at least one spell or monster statblock on an index card for faster reference. Should have enough to go by the time we fire. Just feels like a lot left to do 😅
On call this week, have to come in on the holidays, todays staff meeting sucked ass.

On the bright side, I'm quite excited to start DMing my first DnD campaign. I have lots of ideas and a couple of hopes and plans, but plan on playing it very loose.

Just gotta wait till I'm off call 😩

Kayleigh and I finished season one of @dimension20.bsky.social Fantasy High (yes we're like 10 years late) and holy shit.

Brennan Lee Mulligan is just... *chef's kiss*

The character development, the story, the stakes.

Kayleigh was bawling, I was laughing and tearing up. Just, beautiful, man

If you want to give your deck some hand-crafted one-of-a-kind artwork, I’ll be opening up a couple commission slots for painted tokens soon.

I have a couple projects I’m finishing up, but I should have five slots open by next week and post the info. 🤘

I wonder if @trash-artificer.bsky.social would take a comm of my partners DnD character (she's building a Bugbear 🤣) 👀👀👀

This card can go in both Angry Birds AND casual Pirates and I think that's neat.

Can't go in Jund Lizards tho.

Sadge
Look, I know this card isn't busted or anything, but I'm not crazy for thinking Iguana Parrot is kind of cool, right? Flying, vigilance AND prowess is pretty dope, imo

Response to the sketch on the back of the proxy wasn’t exactly decisive, but I enjoyed making it. So I am doing another anyway.

this week’s giveaway is one of my favorite proxies, Turtles in Time Fling! With a sketch of Donatello on the back.

Follow and repost to enter, winner drawn on the 23rd!

Which reminds me.

I like a Magic so much more when I'm just playing it and not keeping track of releases, rules changes, what set is already 2 years old, which UB sets i do or don't like, etc.

Play more Magic, kids. It's fun
Had a decent session zero for my upcoming DnD group last night followed by a couple sweet EDH games wherein I should not have lost the first one and certainly should not have won the second 🤣

Excited to work on the DnD shit tho

Hey DMs.

If you have both proficiency in a skill and proficiency in its parent attribute, do you add the two proficiency modifiers to a result for those rolls?

Example: I have proficiency in Wisdom and Animal Handling. Am I adding just +2? Or do I add +4 at first level?
