I was in fact right about Noble Knight slow-rolling several copies of Forcemaster and Warlord - and I nabbed one of the latter today! Still need several kits to close out playsets, but it's all stuff that's less rare so I'm not in a rush. I think I'm going for "full single playset" and skipping on doubles for novice cards - I'd like to be able to but it's not strictly necessary and gets expensive fast.

The MonPoc STLs are supposed to hit sometime this week so I've been on tenterhooks waiting for that. Gonna be visiting my brother this weekend, and he has a resin printer so I want to talk with him about getting these models printed and whether I should print or buy bases.

Foundry's set up and ready to go. Learning Agon right now, then I need to prep a Discord, send out invites, and figure out what the main course'll be. Might also take some time to prep a Lancer, 4e, and Blades world, just to say I have them done. Digging through modules is a lot of fun.

I looked at my PF1e collation files the other day, and it shouldn't be too bad; I mean, it's definitely going to be a bit of work, but sometimes it's felt like too much. I found a PDF-to-Text CLI program that can detect ligatures and I figured out how to concatenate its output files, so making base manuscripts should be a little cleaner now. I'm going to need to comb through my original collected file for entries to cut, and I think I'm going to curate the full list of veils a little more aggressively - I want to cut the Variant descriptor so I'll need to go through all those veils and pick which to keep. I'm also considering including the full text of Path of War and Expanded in the Initiating section to incorporate Errata, but I haven't settled on that yet.

Noble Knight has twice gotten restocks of MWA Forcemaster and Warlord in the last week, kits which I have only seen there a handful of times. I missed both times, but hopefully there are more. I really need a copy of the Warlord so I can close out a playset.

Guild Ball errata 4.7 dropped yesterday, and overall I'm pretty pleased with it. I still think True Replication on Hoist is a mistake, but it's less of one. Though it can still hit mascots so Mother wasn't un-nerfed. One other thing that annoyed me: new CP that makes a Forest AOE. I've reached out to Art of War to see if he can make something for that, but I have to imagine shipping to the US is going to be expensive and that's assuming this doesn't require a bunch of custom work.

Between Guild Ball, Monsterpocalypse, and Digimon I think I'm going to be doing another BGM run. Just need to assemble the tokens I want for Digimon, wait for the Monpoc downloads to drop, and download the errataed GB cards. Since Monpoc uses big cards for the Monsters and there are only two of them in this first drop, I'm considering redoing all my GB stat cards as one-sided. I'm not 100% on that - need to see how many large sleeves I have spare - but this may be the right opportunity.

I'm working on preparing a new game group - we're going to play Agon as an icebreaker, then switch to either Girl by Moonlight or Avatar Legends. I've been entertaining myself with Foundry prep, but so far that's just been "troubleshooting why I can't remote to my Oracle instance" and listing the modules I may want to download.

Once I'm through with the Foundry work, I may finally buckle down for that Pathfinder 1e third-party collation project I've been sitting on. It's just a lot of text formatting to get through. I won't be able to finish it until later this year regardless - waiting on the release of a PF1e Warlock class - but I could at least have the bulk of it in manuscript format by then I bet. Just need to start making myself use evenings.

I elected to fill out my Kadena commander deck; I'm in the throes of receiving PWEs with cards, but hopefully soon I'll get a chance to take it for a spin.

There were some sneak peeks at Tarkir: Dragonstorm cards, and I'm cautiously excited. Dragons are good, Tarkir is good, Wedge clans is good. Only downside is it looks like there isn't any face-down stuff to act as a smoother. I would be super excited to see a Tarkir D&D book, though it looks like the next one of that sort will be a Lorwyn/Shadowmoor one.

It occurred to me recently that the last time I participated in a prerelease at Backstage was when I helped man the KTK one, more than a decade ago. Seems appropriate to bookend that absence with another Tarkir set. I'm thinking about nabbing a full run of the prere kits so I can get one of each spindown.

The Monsterpocalypse Kickstarter was a dud and consequently a huge loss for me - I had gone in hard on that game. Privateer Press will be releasing STLs as an apology for Mythic's mismanagement, starting with neutral buildings, G.U.A.R.D., and Planet Eaters. Hopefully I can get my brother to print those in resin for me, and get a run of cards and a mat or two printed. I'm glad to at least see something come of that.
