Sorry if this is not the right place to pitch this. Feel free to take it down.

This Halloween, Friday Oct 31st, is the release date for the new Riftbound game by Riot Games. My interest in the game is from a place of loving card games. I've been a huge card game fan since I played pokemon as a kid. I played alot of Hearthstone in college and after. Then in the last few years I've played Magic the Gathering Commander. Riftbound mechanically seems like a very solid game and I'm super excited about it.

If people would like a place to discuss the game, strategy, post relevant news articles, deck ideas, etc let me know. I think a dedicated community would a great way to achieve that.

If you want to see an example, take a look at the lorcana community I moderate on lemmy.world.

I could make the community or someone else could. But if I make the community, all I ask is for at least one other person to help moderate it. Single moderator communities can run into issues if that one moderator makes a mistake. So to avoid that single point of failure I would like to work with people to make such a community function smoothly. edit: typo

Also a community doesn't have to be the go to solution. We could post Riftbound memes in 196. Thanks for reading this and I'm excited to hear what people have to say. <3

Ravensburger will release Whispers in the Well, a new booster set for Disney Lorcana, into retail on November 14, 2025.

The first box you tear into of a new Disney Lorcana set is always the best one. Every pack you open adds 12 new cards to your collection and 12 new tools for your deck-building toolbox. Even the “bad” cards are exciting to find, especially if you’re a master set collector like me, filling binders with one of every card in each set. I love hunting for new cards as much as playing the actual game, so while it’s not as cost-effective as buying singles, there’s nothing like the thrill of ripping open a fresh booster box.

At least, that was the case before Fabled. The newest Lorcana set represents a fresh start for the TCG, as the first-ever rotation sunsets the first 800-some-odd cards added to the game. Fabled rescues about 170 from the first four sets, making it Lorcana’s first reprint expansion, and consequently, something of a new base set for the game.

Disney Lorcana goes from strength to strength, and Fabled – its ninth set since launch – is closer than ever.

The new set introduces a whole host of new cards, brings A Goofy Movie into the card game, and finally adds fan-favorite Darkwing Duck.

With the set enjoying a pre-release already, we’re just days away from its full debut, so here’s everything you can find on store shelves and what you should look out for.

Based on a true story.

The Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game by Ravensburger turns the final page in its fairy tale ‘First Chapter’, reinvigorating the game with its most recent and ambitious release, ‘Fabled.’ Fabled is the title of the 9th set of Disney Lorcana, but Fabled is much more than just another set of some 200+ new cards. Grab your magic feather and let’s adventure into the story!

Amazingly, this month, Disney Lorcana is entering its third year. With that milestone comes some big changes. First, with the release of Fabled, cards from the first four sets of Lorcana will be retired from Core Constructed competitive play. In turn, at least half of the cards found in the latest chapter are reprints, re-introducing some favorites from the first year. However, while some of these cards may be familiar, Fabled still managed to pack in some exciting new elements, including the arrival of A Goofy Movie to the game and the debut of two new rarities.

Fabled is Disney Lorcana’s ninth expansion and is the first set to include reprints alongside new cards. The reprints are cards from the game’s earliest expansions that would have otherwise rotated from the Core Constructed format. Fabled will also introduce two new rarities to the game — Epic and Iconic. Epic rarity cards are rarer than Legendary cards but, not quite as rare as Enchanted, and only two cards per set will come in the Iconic rarity, surpassing Enchanted as the hardest to come by.

These two cards are powerful additions to the upcoming expansion that honor their history in clever ways.

At Gen Con 2025, Disney Lorcana celebrated its two-year anniversary in a big way by revealing A Goofy Movie and Iconic Mickey and Minnie cards headed to the Fabled expansion, details on Whispers in the Well, Winterspell, and Toy Story cards, and even a brand-new set of Disney Lorcana puzzles.

There's a lot to look forward to in the ever-expanding world of Disney Lorcana, and you can check out all the latest news and cards below!

The fairy dust has settled, and a winner has emerged from Disney Lorcana‘s first World Championship.

As Disney Lorcana nears the end of its second year, the latest chapter Reign of Jafar has hit store shelves. In addition to Single Player Decks, booster packs, accessories, and another Illumineer’s Quest — this one called Palace Heist — a new Illumineer’s Trove is also available. Our friends at Ravensburger were nice enough to send me this latest collection, so let’s take a look at what’s inside and what I think of this particular edition.

[Alt-Text] Batman, an animated bat, and Robin, a robin, are in a room with an infinity gears machine. The Riddler is behind a locked door on an intercom.

Riddle me this Batman! The door to my room will only open if the last gear fully rotates, but you can only turn the first gear! How long will you be standing there? HAHAHAHA!

Holy sociological metaphor Batman! If you tired to fully turn the last gear by only incrementally turning the first gear, you would be standing there for 346 quintillion years! The Earth's orbit will decay before we catch the Riddler at this rate!

Batman picks up the infinity gears and then flips it over. This opens the locked door and reveals a surprised Riddler, who is a Tommy gun.
