Me me me!

I learned that game with someone who was quite the looker. She was usually half naked when we played.

Hope this isn’t zombie raising, but this totally reminded me of when a good friend and I used to play Legend of the 5 Rings the CCG.

One day a young lady whom we were both casually involved with showed up while we were playing. We used her as the Imperial favor.

It’s really really hard to concentrate on your cards when an important playing pieces is going down on you.

I would say that that’s the sort of thing that only happens in pornos, but nobody would make a porno about people playing a collectible card game.

If you have access to an older computer (ideally running Win 98) there’s a MtG for Windows that features a tutorial; it also has a dungeon crawl that uses the cards for combat.

Just curious how things are going… have you learned to play? Because of or not because of nudity-related inducements?

We broke up yesterday. Nothing to do with MTG…heh. We never got around to doing anything fun with the game.

I guess he couldn’t handle the coolness that is me. You are all free to send me flowers now, tho.

Dunno about flowers, but I’d love to play Magic the Gathering with you 😃

Eh, if he didn’t take advantage of an opportunity like the one presented in the OP, he clearly wasn’t worthy of you anyhow.
