Adventures in the Forgotten Realms blends Dungeons & Dragons into Magic: The Gathering for the first time in a card set. This week we have special guest James Wyatt, creative lead on the set, joining us to talk about how this set happened and the ways in which it was built to express what D&D is.

166 - D&D Q&A with James Wyatt

Leisure

The ending has come to Outlaws of Thunder Junction, and it brings with it the start of something new. This week we're covering the two-part epilogue to the Outlaws of Thunder Junction story and the real ending of the Omenpath Arc of Magic Story, finally getting answers for Jace and Vraska's escape from Phyrexian influence and their plans for the future of their family and the multiverse. We also discuss some of our thoughts about this arc in general, and specifically the state of Magic story as it goes into the Dragonstorm Arc.

291 - Bring the End to Outlaws of Thunder Junction

The main story of Outlaws of Thunder Junction is finished, but before we can watch our outlaws ride off into the sunset, we have to tell tale of Annie Flash with "Blood Is Thicker Than Venom" by H. E. Edgmon. Then we see what happens when you put the most untrustworthy scoundrels of the multiverse together for one big job, and you know it ain't a happy ending.

290 - Outlaws of Thunder Junction, Ep. 5, 6, and Blood is Thicker than Venom

The train's pulling up to the station and you have to face the choice: Do you listen to us discuss episodes 3 and 4 of the main story and the side story "A Pleasant Family Outing," or do you tuck tail and run away? We're continuing our discussions of the Outlaws of Thunder Junction stories by Akemi Dawn Bowman this week with the two main story episodes, "A Train to Prosperity" and "Finding Tarnation." But halfway through "Finding Tarnation," we got waylaid by the dastardly Seanan McGuire once again with her side story, "A Pleasant Family Outing"!

289 - Outlaws of Thunder Junction, Ep. 3, 4, and A Pleasant Family Outing

We have to free previews from Outlaws of Thunder Junction, including one plot-pivotal story spotlight that doubles as a nasty removal spell (we always have to get one) and one very sharp-dressed and sharp-clawed desperado!

You can see full cards and art on our Twitter @TheVorthosCast!

Our Outlaws of Thunder Junction Previews!

What's this? A special bonus episode of The Vorthos Cast? That's right! We had the incredible opportunity to invite Isaac Fellman, author of "No Tells," the side story for Outlaws of Thunder Junction that introduces Yuma and his little cactus baby Kirri to Magic! We talk all about the experience of writing for Magic as an outsider to the IP, our favorite noir films, and the ways in which our lives influence our writing and our writing influences our lives.

Isaac Fellman is the author of the upcoming novel, Notes from a Regicide, as well as Dead Collections, The Two Doctors Górski, and The Breath of the Sun. You can follow him on Bluesky (isaac-fellman.bsky.social) and subscribe to his newsletter at https://isaacs-law.ghost.io/.
