As the year comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has contributed to the Flesh and Blood website this year. Across in-store events, set releases and competitive tournaments, we've featured articles on everything from how to build a top-performing deck, to how to 3D print props and armor for cosplay. From beginner's content to competitive analysis to metagame breakdowns, we've featured content from 28 writers and 9 video creators across 11 countries.
Thank you to every single guest writer, content creator, cosplayer and competitive player who worked with us this year, not only for their contributions to the website, but also for their passion for the game and the worldwide community. While the LSS team is out of office for the holidays, we'd like to encourage you to revisit some of the incredible articles and videos we've featured throughout the year, and share some of the pieces that you've enjoyed the most.
We wish you all a wonderful holiday season, and look forward to welcoming some brand new writers and creators in 2023!
