I've been so excited to share this: for CASCADE CASCADE, I interviewed Miguel Lopez, the former WOTC writer and worldbuiler who helped create the Edge (of Eternities), Ixalan, & more.

we discuss the proliferation of tiny, irrelevant, beautiful details in the worlds of Magic. give it a read!

Please note that purchase of a Founder’s Club membership means that, if you come up to me IRL and show me your Founder’s Coin, I will buy you a drink, Ashnod’s Coupon-style [pre-errata! I will pay any costs for the drink (within reason)].
