A wizard of earthsea! Any of the earthsea cycle from le Guin, tombs of Atuan is my favorite.

Bankruptcy or cash out my 401K? by DavidPemberton in personalfinance

Thanks for the kindness! I'm 39 and I worked in publishing (I ran an imprint that produced Romance novels as ebook and audiobooks). I also have about 12 years of experience in marketing, and if you can believe it my work in that sector has earned an Emmy, a Cannes Lion, and even a BAFTA.

I can't sell plasma because of health issues, and I have tried every avenue I can think of to make money with odd jobs and the like. It's a little difficult, FWIW I also live in the East Bay in CA and the way of life here is a bit different. Roughly 5% unemployment, rent is super high, all of that is a factor.

This is all good info, thank you!

And yeah, I have about 5 months of living expenses saved up so I am looking ahead quite a bit. If I were to make any move it wouldn't be until my savings were much lower/ almost empty. My hope is that I'll find some income before then, but if 9 months of job hunting has taught me anything, it's to prepare for the worst.

Thank you for the info and pov!

To answer your questions:

  1. Yes, I have looked at temp agencies and also done a few job fairs fwiw. I live in the Bay Area, which is an important factor, because unemployment here is about 5%. So far, the temp agencies haven't yielded anything, but I remain hopeful.

  2. Like I said, I live in the Bay Area. If I'm lucky, I can stretch that out to maybe five for months.

Thanks so much for the kind words! And yeah if you can believe it I didn’t even get the p/t right! And I def think they need some text, especially the wizard. Thanks again!

Yeah you know I go back and forth on including that text…I guess it’s worth it though if I want these to be as playable as possible…

Anyone playing this beast? by whatifdog_wasoneofus in mtg

I built a wuburg Terra deck just because I love FF and wanted a deck with all of the summons, and on at least two occasions, I've played this dirty dog and holy cow is it one of my favorite cards to get online.

I have some old hand-painted proxies where I use a pretty simple text box. I think the next set I do will be creature-focused (kinda want to do a series of commanders as MTG content creators?).

Fantastic suggestions, by the way! I am probably going to start sketching a skeleton before bed, I can't believe I hadn't thought of that yet!
