45M looking for 9-5 chat buddy

I work in front of the computer and let's face it, I don't have 8 hours a work every single day. I need some down time and a witty, interesting DM buddy is what the doctor ordered! A little about me:

  • Married, two kids, two ageing parents, one cat
  • East Coast USA
  • interests are varied: music, books, traveling, working out/playing sports, TCGs, movies, writing/editing/publishing, general nerdery
  • I have a job but not a career as my calling is in the arts and doesn't pay much. I'm not super interested in talking about the job, though I, like, will

A little about you:

  • Interesting
  • Not a jerk

Holler if you'd like!

Would folks be interested in a Lorcana gift exchange? Just did the MTG one and it was awesome!

So I just did my first MTG gift exchange via Reddit and it was an absolute blast! I had an amazing time putting together a thoughtful present for who I got, and what I received was so thoughtful and touching. A truly great experience and I can't wait to do the next one!

That being said, Lorcana is my main game and I would love a gift exchange to exist like that with this community. I know it doesn't yet and it would have to be built. I wonder if anyone would be interested in doing it.

Posted in r/lorcana as well as r/LorcanaCollectors and got quite a few people interested, as well as some of my IRL Lorcana folks. Pretty close to a critical mass, to give it a shot.

What say y'all? Anyone's interest piqued?

Yall, the math is breaking me. Help me figure out the odds of this insane box (Iconic, Enchanted)

(prefacing this with the acknowledgement that y'all might not believe me that this was in one box; I'm cool with the disbelief since at the end of the day, it's between me and God)

Ok, so I bought a single box of Wilds Unknown this past Friday. Normally my wife and i buy more, but because A) money's been a bit tight and B) we don't really care about Toy Story, we skipped it. However, we decided to play some limited, so I tracked down some stock in Easton, MD, paid $200 for a single box, and opened it.

Y'all, we got the iconic Buzz and that was clearly mind-breaking. However, we continued to open and got an Enchanted Jack Jack, Epic Buzz, Epic Rex, 6 regular Legendaries, and a Foil Legendary (Ursula). Like, this box is like winning the Lorcana sweepstakes.

What are the odds of all this being in a single box? Like 1/4000 (Buzz) x 1/100 (Jack Jack) minimum? I got an A- in statistics, but that was 20 years ago, and besides, it was stats for Psych majors, which ain't the same thing.

I'm not opening any more WU cause obviously I've peaked. I'm just gonna buy all the singles and make a nice collection, and then my wife and I will get our normal 2-4 boxes the next set. And yes, I'm grading the Woody and selling it.
