August 13 Episode 43 - The Developers of The Journey TCG - Set 2 Card Sneak Peak at the End!
What kind of crazy does it take to decide that you're going to create, self-publish, and distribute your own TCG? Aaron and Josh sat down with John and Dakota, the minds behind The Journey TCG to find out EXACTLY what kind of crazy it takes.
Journey is a 1v1 PvP focused TCG where players take a team of heroes armed with spells, abilities, items and equipment and throw down in a head to head match that is amazingly reminiscent of our favorite old school turned based RPGs!
