Maybe a decade ago, my friends and I did a parody for a Rock Band contest at PlayOnCon, which we called Phat L00t by Sum4d6.

Now, with the help of Pandemic Date Night, we’ve actually recorded the song for real and made a music video!

 

 

VintageBeef, Creo, and the Hermits have been working for the last few weeks to figure out how to get y’all more cards so you can build your HermitCraft TCG decks for head-to-head play, so I’m excited to finally be able to share details about the upcoming second printing of the HermitCraft TCG booster boxes!

Here’s the details:

• The pre-order window for the second printing will run from December 15th–January 15th.
• There is no cap on the number of pre-orders we can print, so if you’re desperate to expand your collection, skip the scalpers and order from the source!
• The second printing boxes will be the same price as the first printing ($50 USD), but will also include an additional pack of item cards to help y’all assemble playable decks easier.
• Cards will now include rarity indicators printed on them to help players following certain deck-building rulesets to determine if their decks are tournament-compliant.
• The second printing will fix an error with the common FalseSymmetry card, so if you have a first-printing copy of that, hold onto it!
• Other than those two changes, there won’t be any changes to the art from the first printing.
• The Hermits won’t be signing any 2nd printing cards before they’re packaged, but I hope you’ll consider meeting up with us at gaming conventions and card shop events so we can sign some in person for you!

If you’d like to be reminded when the pre-order goes live next week, you can sign up for the waitlist on Creo’s website.

To learn more about the process of creating the HermitCraft TCG, check out Beef and my Pax Unplugged panel, HermitCraft TCG: Physical Blessings of a Digital World!

I’ve just gotten settled with my TCG cards and markers at PAX Unplugged’s FreePlay table 49E, between the E3 and E8 pillars. Stop by until 1pm if you’d like to trade cards, play HermitCraft TCG, take a photo with me, or get something signed.

Come play and trade cards!

We are at Tabletop Freeplay: table 51E near the DE3 pillar and will be for about two hours.

If you’re a part of the @JoeHills Supporters discord you may have heard about ModMail. It is a system the staff and community members can utilize to report bad actors. This tutorial will serve as a guide as to when to use ModMail, and also how to actually use it.

When you should use ModMail

ModMail is a ticket based reporting system. You should use ModMail when you see someone who is breaking the rules and needs to be banned. Some examples of this would be anyone breaking the rules listed in the #actual-rules channel or somebody harassing you in DMs.

If the action harms the community in a way that violates health, safety, or discord TOS then it needs to be reported via ModMail.

When you should NOT use ModMail

ModMail is for serious offenses only, and is not to be used for personality conflicts, such as disagreements in conversations or disputes on the Minecraft servers. If you don’t get along with somebody else in the community we ask that you resolve those matters amicably at your own discretion. 

The purpose of submitting a ticket is to remove a bad actor or alert staff of a harmful action or concern. If health and safety are not at risk, do not submit a ModMail ticket.

What about *this* issue?

Issues may arise and you still may not be sure about the best place to go to get help. Here is a general list of issues and the best resource to utilize.

• • Emergency/Crisis: #911-emergency-resources channel
  • Patreon billing issue, support tier update, etc: Patreon message to Joe
  • Other unspecified issues not mentioned here: If you have a concern and feel it is not suited for submission as a ModMail ticket and aren’t sure where else it can go, Community Liaison ThatTommyBoii accepts DMs from all folks to assist in guiding them. He may tell you to submit a ModMail ticket, or otherwise let you know the best course of action.
    

Do not message support staff for assistance. Especially NJCoffeeJunkie, as her job is not community-facing.

Visual guide on how to actually use ModMail

First you’ll need to find the ModMail bot in the userlist. You can find this in the upper right hand corner of the discord.

If you right click the bot, you will find the option to message the bot.

You will be in discord’s direct message feature with the bot. This is where you will type your message to submit as a ticket. You may add image files as well.

If this is your first time using ModMail you will need to authorzie the bot on your discord account. It will provide you a link to a webpage to do so. Without this step you cannot submit a ticket.

Once you have it authorized, your ticket will be submitted as shown below.

All staff members can see all ModMail tickets, so the soonest available staff member will assist you when they can. Your messages will be in green and theirs will be in red. You will always be able to see which staff member is responding to your ticket.

Simply communicate with staff about the issue and we will take action as necessary.  If you have any further questions, please reach out to staff for assistance.

Thank you for reviewing this tutorial and have a good day!
