A Magic-al Interlude, part 6

Here it is, the final player card in Sai's Limited Edition MoG Squad Magic deck - the too cute to live die, ever indestructible taru, Geni. I swear, when I first looked at the picture of Ingenia, I shrieked something along the lines of, "omg Geni is so cute!"

You may recall that Dime is the pimp of the group as the only male - that should explain the latest card that Sai has created for the Limited Edition MoG Squad deck.

A Magic-al Interlude, part 4

I really need to get some screenshots collected and posted so that you can all see the story behind the information in this card - it will help you understand why it is so amusing. But you are going to love it anyway, even without the back story. Sai's latest creation, the Limited Edition Hamalocephale card!

Sai tackled the card for Tyrannia's DRG next - poor thing says "I am never trying to do a piece of Homan armor again. Ever." But just look at the results!

A Magic-al Interlude, part 2

Sai has been at it again, creating more cards for our special, limited edition MoG Squad Magic: The Gathering deck. This time the subject of the digital painting was The One in The Hat (or the one who will be), Avalonia!

An interview with Vana'diel Wootz

The following is a guest post from Saichania - an interview with the Vana'diel news source Vana'diel Wootz, and their intrepid Galkan reporter Homalocephale (no relation to our own lithesome Mithra). ~Ava


Welcome to this month's edition of Vana'diel Wootz and our new human interest story about a group some of you may have seen parading around, the MoG Squad.

You of course know me, Homalocephale, your roving Galkan reporter on the scene. Tonight, the six members of the MoG Squad are joining us in Valkurm Dunes to fill us in on their current trials and adventures.  I have here Avalonia, the founder of the MoG Squad.  Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us today.

Avalonia:  Thank you Homalocephale, we always appreciate the chance to speak with others regarding our project, to answer any questions or just share the fun and excitement we are having here on Lakshmi.
Homalocephale:  You really do seem motivated and optimistic about this endeavor, can you give us a bit more information about what you personally enjoy about these new adventures?
Avalonia: I personally think we have a great group of friends ready to apply their knowledge and creativity to establish a completely new experience
Homalocephale: Wonderful!  And where are the other members of the MoG Squad right now?
Tyrannia: In my pants!

Homalocephale: Ah!  Tyrannia, great of you to join us today.  How are you facing the challenges of relatively defenseless character in a hostile environment.
Tyrannia: I don't think you can underestimate this group.  We may be level 14, but we have experience on our side.
Avalonia: Tyr... is that blood?
Tyrannia: ...we ran into a few monsters on the way out here today, nothing to worry about.

Homalocephale: Were the other members with you? Ah, there I see Ingenia and Dimetrodon coming this way.  Ingenia, great to meet such a charming and adorable Tarutaru.  What do you like best about your adventures so far?
Ingenia:  To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentation of their women!
Homalocephale: Ok...  um, thanks.

Avalonia:  Dime, where are the others?
Dimetrodon:  Well, they should have been following us.
Homalocephale: There, I see Hamalocephale and Saichania now.  It looks like they're talking, lets move closer to capture some of the teamwork and knowledge we've been hearing about!

Homalocephale: Hamalocephale, can you give us -
Hamalocephale: Can you only go so long without killing something?  How could it possibly aggro you, when you were further away than we were?  Lets be honest, you provoked it didn't you? Sai?
Homalocephale:  She seems to have run off.

Saichania: TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE, RABBIT!
Dimetrodon: Is she talking about herself or the rabbit?
Hamalocephale: I never can tell...

Avalonia: I'll set up a more structured interview for next month Homalocephale.
Homalocephale: Sounds like a good idea.  This is Homalocephale saying happy adventures Vana'diel!

A Magic-al Interlude - part 1

The next few posts will be content from our suicidal-DRK-in-training, Saichania.

Did you ever play the CCG Magic: The Gathering? I know that Tyrannia still collects cards for it, though I confess I have not played it in at least 12 or 13 years. That said, even with the fact I have essentially forgotten everything I knew about the game, I love what Saichania has been up to.

Sai is quite the talented digital artist, and while bored recently, created a digital painting of Saichania - and then turned that painting into this:
