Shout-out to @mcg for being super awesome with my stressed-out self yesterday. They fixed my duplicate order for the #CypherSystem #Kickstarter and even said I could keep the second set of rewards gratis.

I double-dog dare you to get that kind of response out of #WotC. They would've sent #Pinkertons to my home to retrieve the second set of cards. #RPG

If companies are able to create Lego-compatible off-brand building blocks, wouldn’t it theoretically be possible for another company to make #mtg compatible playing cards? #Pinkertons

Hey, remember after #OGLGate when a lot of people were saying things like "When someone shows you who they are, believe them?"

Were you listening?

I would like if a billion dollar company could, just not?

"When asked for a comment, Wizards of the Coast confirmed that the video, its allegations, and the alleged Pinkerton agents were a “part of their investigation.” When asked for clarification, the company said it had no additional details to share, and did not deny the hiring of Pinkerton to aid in the product retrieval."

@abfuning @Wizards_Magic

WotC using the #Pinkertons to go after a YouTuber is the creepiest thing in #TTRPG to date.

#mtg #dnd

Using #Pinkertons Agents at all is just evil. By using Pinkertons a company is declaring that it hates its workers. Alone the association with such a Security firm with such a vile history is bad for any companies reputation. #WotC
But sending such Thugs to threaten a YouTuber who opened Magic Cards before the Release date? Who in their right mind would do that? Is @Wizards_Magic and #Hasbro run by caricature capitalist villains right out of bad comedy movies?
That's what lawyers are for. #MTG

It's so weird that the #Pinkertons still exist. Can you imagine working for an organization rightfully vilified since the 19th century?
"Yeah I work for #Dracula, you know the Count? Sure he murdered a lot of innocent people back then, but these days he's mostly just intimidating private citizens"

Honestly I don't get how #Hasbro and #WizardsoftheCoast send armed #Pinkertons at someone in this day? I can't say I would be broken up if #CastleDoctrine was used in that instance. Fucking bloody anti-union private police shitheels.

Today's draft: Much better than last time. Solid sacrifice deck with two Furnace Reins to boot. Kroxa was pack 1 pick 1. It was between that an Pile On, and I thought about that trade off for a bit, but I went with Kroxa and then everything else came together. Not as many Final Flourishes as I'd like (my trophy deck had 3).

One mythic and one rare. I've got two off-color rares in the Sideboard: Thalia and Yargle and Multani. No real fixing here.

So Wizards of the Coast sent Pinkerton* agents to a guy's house for leaking Magic the Gathering cards early.

Like, maybe start with a takedown notice for his YouTube videos before you send goons to his home.

*A private security force traditionally used against unionizing workers

Excellent comic strip by Sam Wallman on The Nib, a potted history of the vile Pinketon detective agency and their long history of taking money from rich employers to stamp on their employees (unsurprised to learn modern anti-union companies still use these scunners) https://thenib.com/never-sleep/
