Books, games, and... 8 ft tall monsters?!? Come to our booth #203 and take a picture with the colossal and terrifying Hospital Thing from 13 Omens! Or, just come by, scream, and run away! (Don’t actually do this, but something similarly funny is appreciated)

1. In major news, the Ohio Dem Party has banned the Progressive Caucus from criticizing candidate for Gov. Amy Acton's transphobia. It has now applied more pressure to quiet criticism of anti-trans politics than it has on its own nominee to stop embracing them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Every card has a story. Go behind the scenes with the creators of Their Magic is Limitless and hear how they shaped this drop together, from the first spark to the final cards. Get the drop tomorrow, with 50% of every sale going directly to Global Fund for Women.

Four cards from the Their Magic is Limitless drop surround headshots of four of the women who designed them. The image says “Together we rise” at the top and “Stories from women behind the magic” on the bottom. A headshot of Fury Galluzzi alongside a quote. 
The quote reads, “Most of the art I do ends up being scary powerful women doing badass things while looking absolutely terrifying and in control. That’s the main theme here as well with this piece. That’s my power fantasy.” – Fury Galluzzi. Underneath the quote is the card she designed for the Their Magic is Limitless drop, Dark Ritual.A headshot of Lena Richards alongside her design of the Sol Ring card. The quote beside her reads, “Collaboration is a great thing, as it motivates us to be our best self to support the work of other people involved and as a result we are becoming more than just the sum of work put by each person on the project. Roughly speaking, it becomes multiplication instead of addition.” – Lena Richards. 

Underneath Lena Richards is a headshot of Magali Villeneuve and the card she designed, Lathril, Blade of the Elves. Her quote reads, “I am always motivated by projects that promote the representation of women in fantasy worlds, whether as fighters, mothers, or, as in this case, both at the same time. I think that’s one of the things I enjoyed most about this commission: being able to express more than one facet of a woman on the same card.” – Magali Villeneuve. A headshot of Caroline Gariba. Next to her is the card she designed, Coat of Arms. Underneath her is a quote that reads, 

“This is a very important subject to me, as I have been vocal about more women in the gaming industry. Recently I participated in a Brazilian art event focused on getting more women into the art scene and the obstacles that we have to deal with. It was packed with awesome artists women and the event itself was truly well received, my sincerest wishes was that I was able to significantly touch their hearts and help them achieve their artists goals. Then, when Anh reached out to me with this subject I felt that this was a match made in heaven since I was working on this card as I was writing my talking points for the event. This project has the initiative to support Global Fund for Women, so how could I refuse it! Anything turns more exciting when it matches making art with a good purpose.” – Caroline Gariba.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
