Episode 138: Michelle and Ryan are Back!!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Back in Episode

109

[https://goblinlorepod.podbean.com/e/episode-109-killian-lu-with-michelle-and-ryan-pt-1/]

and Episode 110

Alex and Hobbes were lucky enough to be able to discuss the Killian Lu story

with Michelle [https://twitter.com/kilnfiendpotter] and Ryan

[https://twitter.com/BarbariansRidd1] (fist time guest!). A lot of what was

discussed then drew heavily from this video

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14WUuya94QE] by Eugene Yang on Anti-Asian Hate

and addressed concerns about the way the story had been told. At the end of

those episodes Ryan had mentioned the rumors about the Return to Kamigawa.

Since then there had been apprehension. What would Kamigawa bring? How would it

handle Asian Representation in a Cyberpunk World set in a futuristic Kamigawa.

So we again reached out to Michelle and Ryan, and while we did this world

building video dropped

(please go watch if you haven't yet). This episode again encompasses such a

broad and important topic that it will be split again into two parts (there's

also some discussion we need to have about the Phyrexians)!
