Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Taya and Alex find another excuse to talk about the upcoming Final Fantasy series while Hobbes takes a night off. They cover cards and story beats for several games, mostly the four from the commander decks (6, 7, 10, 14) focusing on cards covering emotional scenes and struggles for the characters involved. The potential mental health impacts of these scenes are explored as part of our commitment to May and Menta Health Awareness Month!

Warning that this episode does have spoilers for FF as we know that some people might be coming to these games (as old as some of them are) through Magic the Gathering!

Reminder that at the end of the month there will be a charity event for NAMI that the podcast is greatly committed to helping!

We also finally have a Linktree with all of our discounts/resources
