Re: Fountain Pens
Sheaffer Snorkels c. 1952-1959. The Fiesta Red, the Sage Green, and the (clear) demonstrator are considered rare.

Re: Fountain Pens
Have literally a couple dozen more 40's-50's-60's mostly Sheaffer pens, but still working on organizing and displaying. Did get a couple of cool desk sets in.
Parker Model 4, c.1957 Sputnik! Where are you!
And an old 1940's or maybe even 30's Sheaffer dealer display set. I haven't opened up the pen to verify it's from the same era. But the cardboard around the pen head (where it's marked 'FINE') looks right for that age.

I... I guess this one is pretty cool.
See, that's the thing about the line. There is something for everyone. I can't collect all the lines I'm into, I'd go broke.
Re: The "Everything is Different" Vanilla feature and bug discussion
I fixed the 'necro' addon and deployed it. I also updated "Latest Comment" on all discussions so any that were missed should be bumped now.
The "Mark All Viewed" broken button is removed. As always, the option in the gear by your avatar works for doing that.

Expo 2018: Pre-Announcement
It's that time of year when it's time to start talking about Expo!
This is our 15th annual event, and it will be 20-24 June, 2018. We suggest getting into town the afternoon of Wed, June 20 or the morning of Thu, June 21. No events are scheduled past midnight on Sat, June 23. Please depart no later than Monday, June 25 unless you clear it with Lincoln.
- Read about our accommodations available & event details.
- I'll be reaching out to last year's coordinators to confirm they're interested in helping again.
- We have a theme, and the logo is underway.
- We have two new featured events already planned. The schedule pace will be similar to last year.
- We've already started receiving prizes for the prize table. If you have something you'd like to discuss contributing, reach out to Brian or I.
- We're establishing an official code of conduct for events so that new folks know what to expect and who to talk to if they have a bad experience.
- Tickets will go on sale in mid-May, slightly later than last year. They will be similarly structured & priced to last year.
This is THE BEST event to invite a friend to Icrontic, so start telling folks about it NOW so they have time to make plans. Feel free to connect them with Brian or I.
As ever, let us know if you have questions!

Re: How to get started with Magic: The Gathering in 2017
If I was to introduce someone to MTG, I would use Card Kingdom's battle decks. Most of WOTC's dual decks are all over the place strategy wise and suffer from the problem of having one bomb and neither deck having enough answers to them.
And i agree in saying that Commander is probably the worst format to learn the game with, but can be one of the most fun playing. The wife and I play dual commander almost nightly with some of the precons.
