Goblin Lore Podcast

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

In our fifth episode, Joe Redemann and Hobbes Q. dive headfirst into the history of Magic's legendary rules, how they affect both gameplay and flavor, and how they've changed over the years. Thanks to A.E. Marling of Gathering Magic for an awesome breakdown of these changes! They also compare legends in the game to their own real-life role models, celebrity culture, and hero worship in the real world.

ALSO! The guys will be at GP Minneapolis, doing giveaways and recording community people for future episodes. Come say hi!

Finally, the winners of the first 100 followers' giveaway are announced! At 200 followers on Twitter, we'll do our second giveaway, so keep the word of mouth going!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

In our fourth episode, Alex Newman and Hobbes Q. elaborate on their extensive experience at Magic Grand Prixs and conventions in general. We offer helpful tips for first-time GP-goers, what to look for and do for each personality type, and discuss how introverts or those with social anxiety who are concerned about going to a big event might negotiate the situation.

Editor's Notes: A.E. Marling corrected us on a topic from last episode; Samut sparked due to joy and euphoria. Hooray for a positive example for a neo-walker!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

TW: trauma, PTSD, sexual violence, rape, combat violence, child abuse, death, suicide, social anxiety, depression.

In our third episode, we continue our discussion of trauma in the Magic Multiverse. Alex Newman explains where Magic: the Gathering – like a lot of media – both succeeds and fails in using trauma as a "superhero origin story".

The guys then discuss how that functions in relation to the neo-walkers sparking in Magic Origins.

Finally, the guys offer a little "goblin guid-ance", as we have the first show mailbag and things get goofy.

In our second episode, Hobbes Q. explains what trauma is and how it differs from – but relates to – post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD), and describes the resilience people find to work through a traumatic experience.

Joe Redemann explains how this relates to our understandings of Nicol Bolas's birth and first experience in Core 2019's "Chronicles of Bolas: The Twins" as well as Gideon Jura's Magic Origins story. The guys discuss Michelle Rapp's (@ninox_morpork on Twitter) article for Card Kingdom on trauma in Magic: the Gathering, and do a little self-processing of their own.

Hello, Podwalkers, and Welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

In our first episode, we discuss our favorite bits of nonsense in the Magic: the Gathering multiverse, as well as the big reveal of the first story in the Core 2019: Chronicles of Bolas cycle, "The Twins". We also introduce the MTG psychographic profiles – Timmy/Tammy, Johnny/Jenny, Spike, Mel, and Vorthos – and explain how we interact with the game and story of Magic: the Gathering, as well as why we believe this podcast is a necessary addition to the discussion around the game we love.
