Physical editions of Wizard War are NOW AVAILABLE in my ko-fi store!

Wizard War is a "tradingless" card battling game - it can be played with any two decks of playing cards, as long as you have a copy of the rules handy! But those who want to play Wizard War with its "official" deck can now order a copy of the zine, along with a unique deck of pixel art playing cards designed by Wyngspan Laboratories artist Ross Holmes, featuring the madcap mages of Wizard War's world as its court cards.

Wizard War was a surprise hit when we first crowdfunded it during ZineQuest 4, and with Kickstarter fulfillment wrapping up, we are thrilled to offer our remaining stock to non-backers.

Buyers will receive: -A copy of the Wizard War zine: a 34-page A5-sized rulebook including original art, alternate play modes, lore, and guidelines for adapting Wizard War to your TTRPG campaign -1 to 2 decks of 54 pixel art playing cards, plus additional "tower" cards that enable alternate play modes -A download code to redeem a digital copy of Wizard War on itch.io

For more information about Wizard War, check out its itch.io page for screenshots and previews of the rules!

Hi, I run a small Etsy business selling replica Scott Pilgrim cosplay items. You’re personally hurting my livelihood by saying this. Think about the effect your words have on others.

I still don't think Biden made the right call appointing her to Secretary of the Deluge tbh. She's way too eager to open the floodgates of heaven

i hate that troll has become a generic word for hater on the web. back in my day the only people worthy of the title were the guys managing to convince an entire forum thread that he really thought Samus Aran was a man called “Super Metroid”

[capitalist voice]: in the dystopian commie hellscape that is china, housing just keeps getting cheaper and cheaper, leaving people who buy and then re-sell houses instead of doing actual work high and dry, while mean greedy workers selfishly buy houses, to live in.

It drives me insane how many people dont realise how often they break the law and that if the full force of it was ever applied life would basically be unliveable. Like between traffic violations, petty workplace theft, account sharing and piracy alongside how common it is to have been in posession of some illegal drug at some point in your life. People still manage to get away with thinking "criminals" are people who commit crimes not just populations that are surveilled enough to be routinely prosecuted

the thing about historical fiction where the characters have extremely modern attitudes to everything and appear to have psychic access to the most up to date tumblr discourse in the year of the book’s publication is like. why are you even writing historical fiction if you aren’t interested in what people thought and felt and believed in the specific social context of that time and place

if you have contempt for people in the past don’t write about them! write a modern story set at a costume party or a historical reenactment or something lol
