Deep Thoughts #9
It’s been a few weeks since my last update. I was very busy the previous weekend hosting a bonfire where my niblings got to smack each other with foam swords. Good times were had by all, even though I set the lawn on fire. In the Library this week, I finally laid out and uploaded…

Deep Thoughts #8
Deep Thoughts #8 This week’s gaming session went pretty well, all things considered. My Elven Ranger, Shadow That Comes in Sight, was able to correctly identify two shapeshifting demons who were terrorizing the town of Wiaz and, with the help of Bob the Druid and some halfling, was able to dispatch both of them along…

Deep Thoughts #7
Unfortunately, there is not gaming this Sunday. Normally on my rotating schedule of gaming, this would be a week where I’d play HeroQuest with my brother and nephew. So I decided to update my website instead. In the Song of Evermorrow, I’ve added the main page for the Warrior class including the subclass for the…

Magus of the Prairie #6
B1 – Orion Concord This deck started of very mechanically (I’ll see myself out). Puns aside, I was first inspired to build this deck after seeing Tempered Steel. It’s like two Glorious Anthems for the price of one! How hard could it be to fill a deck with good artifact weenies. Turns out, not very,…

Magus of the Prairie #5
A5 – Kong Quest And now we come to my least favorite color, green. I’m pretty sure that my disdain for green stems from the fact that when I first started playing Magic, I would often lose to green decks and not understand why. My compadre Hayes would infuriate me with a Spike Weaver deck…

Magus of the Prairie #4
A4 – Weekend at Burny’s Always be yourself, unless you can be a colossal, fire-breathing lizard. Way back in the halcyon days at the dawn of 21st century, dragon decks were all the rage with the guys at Parkland. I, having a nearly pathological aversion to anything trendy, refused to indulge in such frivolity. And…

Magus of the Prairie #3
A3 – Night Train As we work our way around the color wheel, we next come to black. Black will always hold a special place in my heart because 1) I’m still a moody teenager at heart (you wouldn’t understand), and 2) it’s the iconic MTG color for my good friend Breymeyer and my brother…

Song of Evermorrow – Ch. 1 – Hero Creation
All heroes start somewhere. In sword-and-sorcery, this is usually somewhere idyllic that gets completely upended by the harsh realities of an uncaring world. Sometimes, it’s just dark from page one. In the Song of Evermorrow, heroes start when they are created by players using… Chapter 1 – Hero Creation One important thing to note during…

Magus of the Prairie #2
Second of my old-style mono-colored decks is mono-blue control. This deck started as your basic, run-of-the-mill permission deck, keeping my opponent out of the game with delightful cards like Force of Will and Counterspell. Using the old playstyle as a namesake, I give you… A2 – Dr. Awgo I always hated Morphling, but ran it…

Magus of the Prairie #1
In this recurring column, I will be posting the decks I’m working on for my favorite card game – Magic. I started playing Magic shortly after they first traveled to Jamuraa back in 1996 and have been playing steadily for last twenty-six years. Me and many of my close friends cite the game as a…
