Good Day Magic: The Gathering Players!
We’ve got A LOT of events coming up outside of our usual play events so brace yourself for a big report.
~~~
Magic: The Gathering (colloquially known as Magic or MTG) is a collectible, tabletop, and digital collectible card game created by Richard Garfield. It was released by Wizards of the Coast in 1993 as the company's first trading card game. From 2008 to 2016, over twenty billion Magic cards were printed as the game grew in popularity. For the 2022 fiscal year, Hasbro—the parent company of Wizards of the Coast—announced that Magic had generated $1 billion in annual revenue. By 2023, Magic had amassed approximately fifty million players worldwide.
Reality Fracture is an upcoming Magic: The Gathering expansion, an event set forming the climax of both the Echoverse Arc, the larger three-year Metronome arc, and Jace Beleren's story.It is scheduled for release on October 2, 2026, and is the 114th Standard expansion set. The set was first teased during the 2023 Announcement Day panel at Gen Con Indiana; the name of the set was revealed at MagicCon Atlanta 2025.
Devastated by the trauma of the New Phyrexian Invasion, Jace seeks to remove "suffering" by creating a multiverse without Eldrazi, Nicol Bolas, and Phyrexians known as the Echoverse, which will replace the original. Although other Echoverse planes are briefly visited, the story revolves around an alternate-reality version of the enemy colored Strixhaven: the allied colored Hexhaven. Hexhaven is situated in a geometrically impossible tower whose design has been subconsciously shaped by Jace's trauma. Thus, the set covers three themes: an often requested "What If?" set improving upon Planar Chaos, a dystopian magical school, and an exploration of Jace's character in a mental world.

Dungeons & Dragons (commonly abbreviated as D&D or DnD) is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) originally created and designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. The game was first published in 1974 by Tactical Studies Rules. It has been published by Wizards of the Coast, later a subsidiary of Hasbro, since 1997. The game was derived from miniature wargames, with a variation of the 1971 game Chainmail serving as the initial rule system. D&D's publication is commonly recognized as the beginning of modern role-playing games and the role-playing game industry which also deeply influenced video games, especially the role-playing video game genre.

The PokĆ©mon Trading Card Game (Japanese: ćƒć‚±ćƒ¢ćƒ³ć‚«ćƒ¼ćƒ‰ć‚²ćƒ¼ćƒ , Hepburn: Pokemon Kādo Gēmu; "PokĆ©mon Card Game"), abbreviated as PTCG or PokĆ©mon TCG, is a tabletop and collectible card game developed by Creatures Inc. based on the PokĆ©mon franchise. Originally published in Japan by Media Factory in 1996, publishing worldwide is currently handled by the PokĆ©mon Company. In the United States, the game was originally licensed to Wizards of the Coast, the producer of Magic: The Gathering. Wizards published eight expansion sets between 1998 and 2003, after which licensing was transferred to the PokĆ©mon Company.

Among the wide variety of cards is the fabled Rowlet, The Grass Quill Pokemon. #0722.
It feels relaxed in tight, dark places and has been known to nestle into its Trainer’s bag or the front of their jacket.

(Okay so that last part wasn't in the Wikipedia article.)
