The title of this episode could just as easily be "This is the Song that Never Ends..." Anyone else remember that song from your childhood? No? Just me? K...😂🤣 There was some interesting discussions on Twitter this past week regarding toxicity in gaming communities, and as is usually the case, some folks brought up the saga of competitive players and casual players being able to co-exist in a game. So, we decided to bring up the topic once again and give our thoughts and takes. We've talked about this topic plenty on the podcast already (see episode #47), but wanted to hopefully bring some new discussion to the table. Let us know what you think! We hope you enjoy the discussion!

This episode may get a little bit...shall we say controversial??? We hope not. But today we talk about a topic that is typically a pretty heated and over zealous topic, especially in the world of TCGs. So today, like always, we invite you to sit back, try to relax...and maybe not blow a blood vessel. 😅

Another week, another conversation born from a debate/discussion between the two of us during the course of playing a card game 😂. This week, we discuss the "evolution" of a TCG in the game itself and design of the game over time. We discuss a little bit of power creep, gameplay fundamentals, and really whether or not Disney Lorcana is going to have equippable item cards in the future. We hope you enjoy the discussion!

This week, we finally talk about Sam Black's article "Resources and Game Design." We briefly mentioned the article in last weeks episode with Todd Anderson, but we wanted to devote an entire episode to the topic. We read through the article in it's entirety, as it is a fairly short article, and give you our opinions on Sam's takes. We hope you enjoy the episode, and be sure to let us know what you think by shooting us an email!

We've got another great episode for you this week! Today, we are talking with Magic: the Gathering veteran and recent Disney Lorcana convert Todd Anderson! Todd has a long history in the MTG community, and has recently started a podcast and YouTube channel focused entirely around Disney Lorcana. We were able to meet Todd and GenCon this year and learned that has recently gotten interested in Lorcana, and immediately knew we had to get him on episode of the podcast. We hope you enjoy the episode as we talk A LOT about Lorcana, get his thoughts and opinions on the game, and just have a good time!

We are back from GenCon, and finally back to podcasting! Sorry for the few week hiatus...but GenCon really took a lot out of us! It's great to get back to the grind and back to creating content however. This weeks episode we are talking all about Disney Lorcana at GenCon, and we are joined in studio with a guest! We are joined by Teddy from the Glimmer Gang! The Glimmer Gang is a competitive Disney Lorcana podcast focused on the competitive side of Lorcana. Now that Lorcana is out, Teddy and the rest of the gang are really excited to dive deep into the competitive aspect of Disney Lorcana. Dan, Jim and Teddy go over the wonderfulness (is that even a word?!?), the craziness, and the fiasco that is Disney Lorcana at GenCon 2023. Sit back and enjoy this weeks episode!

Kind of surprised we haven't devoted a podcast episode to this topic yet, to be quite honest. In todays episode, we talk all about the "Legendary Rule." This term was coined by Magic: the Gathering, but this same principle pops up in plenty of other trading card games. Some games call these type of cards "Legendary" some other games call these types of cards "Unique." We talk about the rule, and really how it applies to the design of a card game, and why we think it's interesting. This topic really got started because of a live stream from FFG a few weeks back when they were talking about the design of Star Wars Unlimited. Strap in, and hold on as we talk all about this really cool topic!
