Listen Later

[[ Originally released as "The Booster Pack". This show has since been retitled "Booster Pack Throwback" ]]

On this episode, Rands is joined by Theo & Michael Stern—the initial design team behind Fleer’s OverPower CCG. 


These brothers share the story of how they went from avid game lovers & comic book fans to being the designers for the first-ever collectible game to feature world-famous comic characters like Spider-Man, Captain America & eventually, even Batman and Spawn!


This episode covers everything from Theo & Michael’s RPG origins, to the challenges with the corporate powers behind OverPower & even to where they are today all these years later. So suit-up, take a dose of super solider serum & get ready for an all-out question and answer slugfest about the early history of the OverPower CCG!
