I'm really excited that I was asked to bring Pink Sleeves to Toronto's first cube event, this September!

Spending a little bit more time talking to people who play cubes other than mine but aren't, like, LPR listeners, I get the sense that not being able to apply heuristics and play patterns from constructed and retail limited feels to some players like they're being cheated

It seems meaningful that Wingspan is so well regarded and the experience is so close to parallel play. People are really into doing the same thing as their friends at the same table

Do public xG models account for disallowed goals, or are they completely omitted from the data?

Zoy's essay convinced me that most of my "complexity" cuts from my #mtgcube are really about refocusing my players' attention on what matters. e.g.: One shuffle isn't very complex, but 4 minutes of attention saved on shuffling could be spent on combat bluffs and counter-bluffs instead!

Partially unrelated to my most recent post about Untap T.O. (Toronto's premiere Cube event, buy your tickets now), but I also help with running small Cube events through a local Discord, come check it out if you are in the GTA or just visiting. discord.gg/w9DQKqsyxU #MTGCube

What do we as #mtgcube designers want players to pay attention to, and what design decisions might be distracting them? Gordon Calleja's book convinced me that attention is more important to think about than complexity zoydraft.tumblr.com/post/7814478...

Ullmark is really a difference maker so far! (allowing 2 goals on 3 shots)

If a straight woman in my life seemed genuinely convinced that only cis women do all these things, I would tell her to get divorced immediately

Gonna maybe write a post about #mtgcube design that mostly just summarizes a single chapter of the Gordon Calleja book I'm reading

Not to be too TierZoo, but pretty cool that the Devonian had the Terrestrial Revolution and the Age of Fishes happening. Diversity makes us stronger

I have been enjoying the Roottrees are Dead, but I resorted to using a hint for the last two missing occupations. I am disappointed in the game that even though I had guessed correctly (kind of as default), the evidence supporting it was really unsatisfying. Now to figure out the last person!

It is cool for a cube to have a mixture of a few "on-rails archetypes" plus other stuff that's a lot more nebulous

TTRPG rulebooks are too expensive for me to buy them just to read them and have them (Yes, I know lots of systems have free PDFs of "quick start" rules)
