Magic: The Gathering

I played the shit out of Magic The Gathering with my older brother from about 1996 to 2001. We got into the game while fourth edition was the newest line of cards. During that time, Ice Age was still on the shelves, but it was soon to be out of print. It was weird because the only opponents we had at that time were each other. We weren't going to game meets or anything like that, we just sat down on the carpet in one of our bedrooms and started playing. It was a good time.

Since it was just the two of us, it created this race to see who could get the best cards (I.E. who spent the most money) which was really ironic since both of us were broke all the time. I think in the end just before I moved out my older brother had 6 binders full of cards and we both had 4 to 5 decks each at least. (Although my brother had the cards to support many many more.)

Welcome to "Rolling a 20"

I'm not sure how this idea evolved into a D&D related blog. I have been running a video game related blog and podcast for almost four years now and every once in a while I get the bug to talk about games like D&D. That is to say, tabletop games, collectible card games, (some comics?) and other traditional gaming subjects. In fact, back in january 2011, I ran a four part mini series of podcasts called "The Twelve Sided Podcast" (Which only ran two episodes.)

So as far as what this page will contain, I know I want to make this a fun project to update and work on, so rather than have pretensions of being a news media outlet, this will read much more like a personal blog. I love tabletop games, but sadly I don't get to play them much.

Anyway I know these "WELCUM 2 MUH PAGEE" type posts don't get read much and they are irritating at best, but this is the plunge yet again into something different. Hope something fun comes out of it.
