1/ Hello newcomers to
@ParallelTCG
and $PRIME
Here is a thread with some important information for you. Parallel is a sci-fi franchise developing a trading card game (TCG) similar to Magic The Gathering or Hearthstone, but meaningfully different.
Let's start here.
@Forbes
What in the actual hell is this article… seriously open mouth shocked at how disngenous and absurd this framing is. Whoever wrote this should be ashamed of themselves
To celebrate the start of the new year I'm giving away these two special edition
@ParallelTCG
cards. To win

God this Ohio chemical spill is fucking terrifying. The more I read the more deeply uncomfortable I am. I use a life straw for regular drinking but I can't even trust tap water i'd use to make coffee now.
Two important things happened this weekend.
First: we reignited the narrative around the validity of web3 TCGs and stood our ground
Second: the broader industry rallied behind us in a way I’ve not seen before
To everyone participating in this - thank you. Sincerely
Fun
@blknoiz06
lore. I was in Miami and organized a dinner. Great crowd
At the end I’m like all good I’ll pay. Most everyone leaves. My card declines for fraud alert…
Can’t get it working. Call the house and a drunk Z gives me his card number over the phone to save my ass lmao
We have many of the biggest TCG creators in history AND the reigning Hearthstone World Champion playing
@ParallelTCG
this week
Let that sink in for a second //
Parallel open beta is coming this week. This is a major inflection point in our life cycle.
First, it means the game product has progressed enough to be experienced by more people. More optimization and polish is needed, but we can make the game open playable to anyone curious.
It’s my Mom’s birthday! This woman saved my life on multiple occasions. Would be on a dark path without her.
She’s also upset that she’s in PJs without makeup here but it’s authentic because my brother just told a hilarious joke. The joy is real
I still don’t feel like Parallel’s quality and status is being accurately reflected & recognized. Some progress has been made but it’s not enough.
That will change this year
Friends I’m gonna say it again BE NICE
Imagine from the random HS player perspective. I’d be confused as hell too
It’s a lot of new stuff and aspects of this industry have a shit public perception as is. Be helpful and understanding
The Parallel TCG experience will be so much different in six months
Available on stores like Epic and Steam. Visually refined. New ways to play. New expansion (maybe two). Player base multiple times larger.
It’s easy to forget this product is still in beta
PARALLEL COMMUNITY:
I need you to show out big time for the streams this week. Support every creator working with us! Be positive. Show love. Educate.
Remember, sell them on the game and the universe! Free to play, try it out
I still have a massive chip on my shoulder. I don’t think we get the respect and recognition we have earned. And there’s so much more to accomplish, with the TCG and studio as a whole.
But we will
Parallel inspires me. I am as much a fan of this universe as I am a part of it
I can’t wait for more to fall in love with it in the coming weeks and months
Beta, soon
Everyone happy with Planetfall. Which makes me happy. We put a ton of energy into getting it right
I’m gonna have some pizza and watch gaming YouTube videos with my puppy for the rest of the night
Love y’all //
Mind boosting this tweet? Lost thousands of followers (again) and now need to work to get them back. Much obliged frens.
I do tweet useful things sometimes.
I’m just gonna put it out there. I will discuss why Parallel has web3 options with anyone who wants to. We have nothing to hide. We aren’t doing anything wrong.
We’re offering a new model. One that is more equitable for gamers.
Simple as that
Seems we stirred up some of the TCG world with this event! Which makes sense
Just here to remind everyone that the game is free to play. No web3 required whatsoever. And it’s fun to play
The Avatar Challenge will begin soon. This will test both your ranked grinding and your ability to mentor a friend in Parallel.
Those who can do both will win //
And the prizes are… substantial
Any streamers or creators who want to get involved with Parallel my doors are always open. Will rally the community behind you to watch streams, sub, give you what you need to have fun
You never have to use or mention NFTs. Actually prefer you don’t.
The game is the point
These photos are separated by 11 years. Same studio, same photographer.
Me as a 19 year old sitting with an M3 I didn’t own, dreaming of having my own fast car some day. And me at 30 with my own R8.
As a set they remind me that life is a journey and that dreams can come true
🏆 We have our champion! 🏆
Congratulations to
@TL_Bunnyhoppor
on becoming the first ever Parallel Creator Invitational winner.
Bunnyhoppor takes home the grand prize of $10,000!
Car is getting sold today! End of an era. A fantastic machine and one I don’t regret getting. But it’s time to move towards more simplicity in life
Had to take her for one last spin this weekend 🏎️
Colony isn’t the icing on the cake it’s an entirely new bakery. And Parallel TCG is still the consensus best web3 game in the world.
2024 will be a good year
The hit rate of web2 TCG pros coming into Parallel and organically wanting the nfts is nearly 100%
This speaks to the validity of the premise behind them. Own your digital cards and enhance your experience
Simple
The argument over the years went from
- well it’s bad for the environment
To
- well it’s all scams
To
- well we could do all this without crypto
You can’t, but note the trend. And ask: well why aren’t you then?
We are excited to announce
@TL_Bunnyhoppor
as our first official Parallel Ambassador!
Raphael 'Bunnyhoppor' Peltzer is the former Hearthstone World Champion and the top earner in the entire history of Hearthstone competitive play.
He has been playing TCGs passionately since he…
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve talked to creators who said something like
“I’ve done a lot of sponsored stuff before but Parallel is the only one I wanted to keep playing after”
Really no more exciting thing to hear than this
I’m fucking fired up. It’s time to knock the walls down. We have a complicated problem to solve: web3 game ➡️ global adoption
But we have the will to do it
I think I’m finally done with alcohol. Spent most of this year trying to give it up. It’s an insidious substance, im glad to be at a point where I’d rather be sober than have even one drink.
One thing that’s worth pointing out in relation to $prime and
@ParallelTCG
It will be hard to come by. Thus far it has been easier. But prime events are done. Caching is ticking down. And in the game it will be a task to earn 10 $prime.
You will need NFTs and skill!
I don’t think people fully appreciate how many opportunities to win there are coming by simply playing
@ParallelTCG
You can:
- Earn prime daily by playing with NFTs
- Participate in large prize pool tournaments (one coming over 50k US)
- Win Avatars
It’s huge
When we start marketing Parallel to regular gamers there’s gonna be pushback. My advice if you’re passionate about what we’re doing: do not mention NFTs or web3.
Just sell people on the IP and the game. If they want to participate in that side of things they will.
I know having $prime out is cool but I really can’t stop thinking about playing // yesterday.
I haven’t felt that in so long. Was telling
@Ninja_FungiBull
it felt like Halo LAN parties when I was a kid.
Magical feeling

Just heard Bernard Hill aka Theoden, King of Rohan died. So sad. Incredibly nice man he sat and talked to me and told me stories about what happened on set because he knew I was a big fan
Thanks for giving us the best movie scene ever made
It’s the first inning for Parallel and the PRIME ecosystem. Parallel is in closed beta and the PRIME ecosystem, for those who remember, is intended to support multiple titles. Not just those under the Parallel IP
Network effects have yet to take root
Parallel has, in my opinion, been the coolest thing in web3 since I first found it years ago. That’s why I work here. I think it’s the most unique, the most interesting, the most fun.
I’m a fan first
I’m not sure if it’s a reaction to the modern world or my age but I desire simplicity now more than ever.
I want to sell my car and buy something normal. Wear normal clothes. Build things. Get a dog and have a child.
Been on this 90 day wellness challenge. Haven't been 100% consistent with it but my health is improving rapidly: adding muscle, losing fat, gaining energy.
I'm happy that I challenged myself and I'm happy that I am continuing to do so.
My parents neighbors son is disabled and loves cars. Just gave him a ride in mine. Face absolutely lit up
Fucking awesome moment, made me as happy as him

Avatar drop starts tomorrow. The Manifest, a select group of collectors, can mint then.
The public drop is the 11th on
@opensea
(mark your calendar!)
I want to highlight some key points about Avatars before drops start:
Another day another nft founder that raised an insane amount of money fumbling the bag
The bar is so low, I wish I could speak my mind about founders in the nft space
Bunch of wimps with nothing but "clout" who can't build a kinder suprise toy if they tried to
