Geekspective

It’s our 100th episode! And they said we’d never get here. But we did. Not only that, but we managed to have MtG YouTuber and self described “Chad leftist” Spice8Rack on as our very special guest! On this show, we talk with Spice about what the MtG story means, and we hear fanfic pitches from Amber, Kenny, and Spice on MtG short stories we’d like to exist.

Today on the show Amber talks with Comic Artist, Game Designer, and Map Maker Kyle Latino. They sat down on January 27th and chatted about comics, the ones he’s made and & published, art & social media, “slow" art, games, and of course MAPS! For ZineQuest 3, Kyle is running a kickstarter for an “Oops All Maps” Zine called Old Roads. Go check it out! His maps are amazing!

Frances is reunited with the group as they all make their way to the Town Hall to learn what sort of rewards they will receive for apprehending the JollyCo Cats.

In this mini-owls episode, Amber and Dave continue their exploration of the stagnant waters of the internet swamp. This week, they delve into name-generator.org.uk. They create gamer names, rap names, pizza poetry, and some truly inspired dating profiles.

Today on the show Kenny talked with DM’s Guild brand manager and witch-of-many-hats Lysa Penrose. Lysa is a writer, game designer, and variety streamer, among other things. They sat down on January 22nd and discussed her new game, Mundane Magic, as well as her ongoing stream, The Haunting of Good Society.

As we eagerly await(ed) Kaldheim spoilers to begin in earnest, we’re covering two ideas closely related to Magic’s newest plane: creature tribes and planes based on real world mythology. Along the way Amber enthusiastically rambles about the Marvel Cinematic Universe approximately 58 years after it was relevant.

With a new friend made it is time to make a new friend! First they just need to impress the demi-god of war, retribution, and self defense...

Today on the show Kenny interviews our very own Amber! Amber is (of course) the host of this very show, but she also hosts Shapeshift, a podcast chronicling her journey from player to GM. They discussed that journey, as well as the lessons she’s learned about building worlds and creating characters.

We have a brand new and very special type of episode for you today! In Filthy Casuals Review, Kenny and Seth play a game where they try to predict how Magic professionals (Marshall Sutcliffe and Luis Scott-Vargas from Limited Resources) will grade all the new cards from the latest set, in this case Kaldheim. Today we see how we did and talk in depth about the cards we diverged on, as well as the lessons we learned.
