While I continue to struggle with trying to render and publish the latest Age of Ashes session, its time for me to get working on the trophy for our upcoming Magic: The Gathering tournament. This Saturday, from 2 PM to 5 PM, we will be hosting our 3rd annual Thanksgiving Tournament, though the date this time has shifted to the weekend (instead of the Wednesday before).
As before, I am preparing the first place trophy, a 3d printed model that I am hand-painting. So far, most of the paint is applied, but after it drys overnight I need to shine it up with a heavy drybrush of silver, fix a mistake or two, and then add a few extra details. Hopefully all in time for the Saturday event.
My kids, and numerous other friends, both old and new, are looking forward to the event. In particular, my son is eager – he will be defending his ongoing record, since he ended up winning both of the prior tournaments.
Our format is basic, a single or double elimination contest, with pretty much any deck allowed. We welcome any new players as well, and are typically able to both teach them the game and provide a basic deck to play with. So far, we have managed more than a few converts.
Tune in next week for the results, and hopefully finished photos of the trophy.
