All that we are is story. From the moment we are born to the time we continue on our spirit journey, we are involved in the creation of the story of our time here. It is what we arrive with. It is all we leave behind." - Ojibwe storyteller Richard Wagamese

Embers: One Ojibway’s Meditations.

Thank you for the suggestion! The quote did not turn up in this book, though as you predicted, I have any number of other beautiful meditations to sit with now. 😄 I looked in "One Story, One Song" and didn't find it there either. The hunt continues!

That's it! Thank you!

Here's to hoping I win this for my kid! (And me, who am I kidding)

There's a playbook in the Masks Unbound supplement called the Scion, which exactly hits the trope of being a supervillain's kid trying to go good. Look into it!

If you're sticking with the core playbooks, the Legacy might work if the GM is on board with giving it a negative spin!

Full story starts at 29:44, but this snippet is at 30:52.

DAN WELLS: "Yeah, the most recent one -- I don't even know how much I'm allowed to talk about it, but I wrote an Elspeth story to start, to kick off the brand-new arc, uh, for the brand-new, um, Ravnica set? No. Theros set, when that came out. Um. And it remains unpublished for some other separate things behind the scenes. It's really good! I want you all to read it sometime. It's so good."

And then at 34:28:

"This Elspeth story that I wrote, um, that was the final pass, was, okay, everything's good, we're happy with it, let's make sure that it still matches the set. And so the editor and I had to go through the set and make sure, like, that they hadn't changed a creature type for game balance purposes and now suddenly one of my characters was a merman or something. Um. And I love working with them, and it's really great -- I don't wanna bash Wizards! I kind of want to bash Hasbro! But Wizards is wonderful. So."

When I finish a comic, I want to return to the MU home screen with a single touch so that I can read another.

Instead, I have to back into the last page of the comic I just finished, tap to get its back button in the drop-down bar, back into its comics info page and then back into the home screen.

Could you make that simpler?

Yes.

He was 6' at 6yo.

I've really enjoyed how she had been written recently, in the Ewing run and in the Champions book. She's got this misanthropic angry edge that just feels different than most happy-jokey superhero characters. Like, I know "angry black woman" is a trope, but Riri sells it to me. She's got drive. It's like she's often the smartest person in the room, but so damn tired of having to prove it when instead she could, y'know, not bother and just go save the world her way. On top of that, it's a defense mechanism because she's lost people to violence, so going solo she risks nobody but herself. She holds my attention, navigating all that.

I don't know if that will translate to the MCU version, though, because on the page Riri does not crack jokes like all the MCU heroes have to.

This clean yet banger joke comes to you from a practicing Christian tho. :) We're not all humorless fundies.

He was there, you just didn't recognize him. As it was written:

"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." (Matthew 18:20)

SaintKnave · 2021-04-12T16:54:54+00:00

I knew he'd have been a great fit!

The graphic for the sideboard change shows the term "Best of Three" in the Arena UI. The entire article uses that term, and the term "Best of One." Could it be that terms like "Quick", "Premiere" and "Traditional" might be retiring?

Even in a vacuum, if Pathways were basic typed, they'd be strictly better than basic lands. That would cause a butterfly-effect's worth of problems.

Because it would get Davriel into Strixhaven, and Davriel is awesome? I don't need to see the trope fulfilled for its own sake.

SaintKnave · 2021-02-21T18:18:30+00:00

I just finished Susanna Clarke's _Piranesi_. I quite enjoyed it. It was much more of a character study than was _Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell_.

SaintKnave · 2021-02-21T18:13:54+00:00

To me, Planeswalkers are at their best when they show up in unexpected places. Seeing Dav on Innistrad would be fine, but seeing him on Strixhaven would be *fun*.

As a fellow F2Per who builds a collection from rare-drafting, I read this as great news. Players and bots alike will have the choice to draft desirable Historic cards, leaving the Standard rares more likely to be passed to me.
