Special guest - Gavin Verhey, Principal Magic Designer at WOTC! Also: tickets, Steam sale update.
🧙♀️ A new guest appears! 🧙♀️
We’re pleased to announce a special guest for our preview event this weekend, Gavin Verhey, Principal Magic Designer at Wizards of the Coast! He and Alexei Pepers will be hosting a fireside chat about randomness and design in Magic the Gathering, including topics such as designing for limited formats, signposting information to players, and the social elements of drafting.
Eagle-eyed readers might have noticed that we briefly put up a mystery guest on our website before taking it down. We’d have announced this sooner, but there was some difficulty in getting this lined up - so apologies for the late announcement, and we’re super excited to have Gavin on for the preview event!
🎉 Also, we’ve got a preview event this Sunday! 🎉
If you haven’t heard, we’ve got a preview event this Sunday, hosting a panel with author James Cartlidge on his book on Roguelites, a talk from Andrew Cedotal about the literary origins of the Rogue archetype, and of course the aforementioned interview with Gavin Verhey about designing for Magic the Gathering. Get your tickets here!
🎫 Speaking of tickets... 🎫
Tickets for our main event are now available here. We'll link them on our website soon. We hope to see you all there!
❗ And a final note for Steam sale applicants. ❗
If you applied to be in our Steam sale, you should have heard back from us by now. If you haven't, please drop us a line at contact@roguelike.club.
See you soon!
