Don't know if they are having issues with your image hosting site, but I am getting error 404 on every link save for the ultra high resolution map of Zendikar.
Yeah, the website has been having some issues. I'm considering switching hosts.
Lorwyn/Shadowmoor is going to be difficult. There are no PW guides for the plane, and a return is quite unlikely, meaning no Art Book. Is there a guide or geographical reference somewhere that I can use as reference? I found a survival guide, but what else is there? If I can get a good enough idea of what it looks like, I'll ad it to the list. Note that I'm probably going to do Tarkir next.
From what i rememnber the books have lots of information about where is every thing in the "map" if you want i can copy and paste here all the informations that i can find in the books.
Ideally, I would like to get ahold of the books and read through them, but they are somewhat difficult to get ahold of. I would be greatly indebted to you if you would be willing to do this.
Things have been busy for me, with college and all, but I think I'm ready to get back into...what's that you say? The Gatewatch is getting yet another member?
Aside from wanting a Tarkir art book in general, I'm even more disappointed they didn't do it. Your maps are outstanding and I can't wait to see Kaladesh and Tarkir. I'm especially hopeful for Tarkir because I want to run my Pathfinder players through that world.
I do indeed hope to make a Tarkir map at some point. I have a rough idea of how the plane looks, but I don't want to make the map until we get an artbook. I will start working on Kaladesh once the art book is released, and I'm caught up on the (rather pathetic) story.
We're now in the Twilight zone where pointing out that a white nationalist journalist is in the white house is "lazy, identity-based journalism". Amazing.
During their private White House meeting on Thursday, Mr. Obama walked his successor through the duties of running the country, and Mr. Trump seemed surprised by the scope, said people familiar with the meeting. Trump aides were described by those people as unaware that the entire presidential staff working in the West Wing had to be replaced at the end of Mr. Obama’s term.
After meeting with Mr. Trump, the only person to be elected president without having held a government or military position, Mr. Obama realized the Republican needs more guidance. He plans to spend more time with his successor than presidents typically do, people familiar with the matter said.
Seriously, every time I think Trump has hit rock bottom, he finds a new way to prove he is the most incompetent man in the world! YOU RAN FOR THE POSITION OF THE LEADER OF THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!!! What did you think the job would be? A friggin cake walk?
As always, I suggest reading the entire link because it has more details. [Helpfully, I've provided it here]
Basically the tldr is if you voted Trump to "drain the swamp" rather than to **** with minorities...well, if you've ever paid attention to my posts, you know what I'm going to link here.
Honestly, this isn't surprising. Trump is perhaps the least politically experienced person to be elected in the history of the country. He would be burning himself alive if he didn't surround him with a group of Washington insiders who are savvy with the ways of Washington and have a feel on the current landscape.
Trump policy update: He's trying to find a way out of the Paris Agreement, without going through the expected four year stepdown process. [link]
Every time I start to feel like I might manage to not be sick with worry, things like this happen.
I couldn't agree more. Just when I think I've managed to accept the fact that Trump might get by by with just being a bad president, he does something to remind me he wants to be the worst president ever.
Actually not trying to be cute; just finding it difficult to believe that 4 years of business as usual will mean death. I think you're being overly dramatic.
Trump has already said he is going to ignore the Paris Climate Accords, which are a comprehensive start to the work we need to do to save the ecosystem. The Paris Accords need to be adhered to by every nation with any industrial development for them to actually be effective. If an economic powerhouse and supposed "world leader" decides it's not going to pull its weight, then every other nation on the planet has the grounds to pull out of the accords as well. Once Trump gets out of office, it won't be as simple as just "Okay, he's gone, let's reinstate the accords." He will have already done irreparable damage to the agreement, and put us back at square one. He has the potential to not just delay the desperately needed mitigation of the climate catastrophe, but actually set us back several years or even decades.
* FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
* SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward
* SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure
Does climate change operate on "Day After Tomorrow" logic now?
I'm so glad you brought this up. If we continue down the current path we are on, our climate will rapidly spiral out of control. We are already seeing the effects of climate change with things like hurricane Sandy, Snowmageddon, the California drought, etc. If you prefer a more visual illustration, then please take a look at this graph, which nicely illustrates what climate scientists mean when they say the temperature has fluctuated in the past, and shows why they are so worried about our current climate trend. https://xkcd.com/1732/

So, under Trump's regime, business, industrialism,and destruction of the environment run rampant. Global weather patterns intensify as the climate spirals out of control. Middle Africa is consumed by the Sahara, and Europe becomes a Siberian wasteland because oceanic conveyer belt shuts off. Eastern China and the Eastern Seaboard of the US are consum d by the sea, along with countless pacific islands. The climate patterns of the Pacific invert, making El-Nino the norm, and starving California, the States' top food source, completely dry. The ice caps melt, and the Siberian and Canadian permafrost reserves thaw, releasing huge YUGE amounts of methane into the atmosphere, intensifying the greenhouse process, and rendering further swaths of the continents unproductive and uninhabitable. Society collapses as widespread famine kills billions. Governments are toppled because everyone blames the "establishment" for all the world's problems. Militias spring up, and start slaughtering eachother over the rapidly dwindling resources our planet has to offer. The population continues to flatline, until some orange faced moron decides it's a good idea to launch a nuke to prove how great Murica is again. Nuclear war immolates the surface of the earth and reduces the sentient population to 0. The ensuing nuclear winter cools the earth down enough for the planet's natural stabilization processes to gradually bring the climate back down to normal over the course of the next few million years. The biosphere, finally rid of the ignorant, brainless sapiens that destroyed it, recovers, and life chugs on. Everyone wins! Except for the humans...
Suffice to say, I'm very embarrassed of the fact that I am an American right now.
Yeah nah, clean up your own messes before you wander over here.
I tried cleaning up my own mess. I got cockblocked by the rest of the country. Now we have the antithesis of the American Dream in office. In other words: I'm bailing.
This is perhaps the saddest aspect of Trump's election. We, as a species, can survive war, social strife, oppressive regimes, etc. We cannot survive the catastrophic climate change that will come if we don't work to repair the damage we've done to the environment.

These next four years are going to suck.
There is only one possible reaction for this:

Then we elected a racist, hateful, misogynistic, corrupt rapist who doesn't believe in science and built his campaign on hate and anger. Welp.
I hear New Zealand is nice this time of year.
