@bender@twtxt.net Apologies, I’m still working through some layout issues with TwtStrm and frequently miss mentions…
Magic: the Gathering does not use a Game Master (although professional referees are often used in sanctioned events). While the game has alot of thematic crossover with with D&D (or fantasy games in general), the system is much more of an abstract, card-dueling system involving things like “the stack” and insanely specific rules on card timing and interactions.
Like, we joke about “I’m sending my army of (goblins / elves / angels / whatever) at you,” but that’s about as far into the “role-playing” element most magic games get in my experience (and most of the “official” competitive games I’ve played at my FLGS were even more abstract and less thematic, although it’s been years since I played in one of those).
There’s like one game a year that’s played in Ireland… Or every other year. I don’t know why… advertising to get college football worldwide?
Why were they playing in Ireland?

Came across YTCH yesterday, and it is very addictive. Simple, and well done. You can host it yourself if you want. The trick I haven't figure out yet is how to create the list.json that drives it.

Its like old school TV but with youtube videos. Each channel has a subject and the channels play in a sort of realtime. so no going forward or back. Perfect for channel surfing.
