Hey Everyone,

I used to play MTG back in the day (sold my decks years ago) but now that I'm a dad the launch of Lorcana has me diving back into TCGs with Lorcana. I've been following news and discussions on other sites. Mainly that other one and on discord. I was wondering how much interest there is in starting an official Lorcana community. I know there is a new one on dbzer0 that is inactive, so I'm thinking of starting one on Lemmy.world and seeding it with content if there are enough people that are interested.

It would mainly focus on news and gameplay discussions. Things like daily or weekly card discussions and announcements. As far as trading and selling I would encourage others to take that to DMs but I wouldn't necessarily be against it unless it becomes an issue (revealing personal info and what not). So it wouldn't strictly be a trading community. Just something to stay in the know, discuss, show off your pulls and collections. That sort of thing.

Mods, if this post is out of line please let me know and I'll remove it. I searched around and couldn't find a better place to gauge interest.

Also, I would be looking to actively build a potential Lorcana community with daily content. Just wanted to mention this so people would have some confidence that I'm not just making it and then doing nothing.

edit: I started it! !lorcana@lemmy.world

As I said in your last post, excessive self-promotion is against the rules (rule 3). What made me remove it isn't the content, but rather the lack of content. It was kinda just a link to your new community. ๐Ÿ˜…

For the this one you took the time and effort to make an elaborate post, opening it up to discussion. That's better imo.

Some other mods may argue that the last paragraph asking to check your profile may be a self-promotion in disguise (so rule 3, again), so maybe remove that. Other than that it looks good to me.

Thank you for explaining it to me in detail. The mention of my profile was only to give reassurance that I was going to be actively building a community and not just making one and doing nothing. But I can see it from your perspective now. I will remove the mention from the post.

I would be interested. Lorcana has gotten me back into TCGs after a 4 or 5 year hiatus.
