The Hobbies + Happiness Podcast: A Disney Lorcana Podcast

Todays episode is all about Magic: The Gathering! Jim and I have talked quite a bit about Magic in previous episodes, but today we dedicate an entire episode around the game that we both enjoy so much. If you've never heard of Magic, or you're not the biggest fan of Magic, take heart! We hope there is still something for you on this episode of the Hobbies & Happiness podcast!

In this weeks episode, we talk about very important topic relevant to the tabletop hobby and industry, your Local Game Store (LGS). Local Game Stores are the life blood of your local tabletop community, or at least they should be. There is a lot that we could discuss on this topic that relates to local game stores and how they relate to their communities and customers, but we think this is a great place to start the conversation. We are leading this big topic off, with why you as a player should support your LGS. As always, if you have anything you would want to add to this conversation, don't hesitate to reach out to us below! We love hearing from our listeners!

This weeks episode, we talk about arguably one of the most important aspects in all of the tabletop gaming hobby, storytelling. Good stories keep us, the audience, the player, engaged. Good stories keep us coming back for more. When we are in the midst of a good story, we want to keep playing just to see what is going to happen in the story. I think we all know how it feels to be playing a game, or taking part in some form of entertainment, and when we finish the session, we immediately want to jump back in and keep going. On the flipside, I think we all know how it feels to take part in a game where the story is subpar. That's why we wanted to take this episode and devote it entirely to the topic of storytelling, and how it is weaved into the many different games and genres of some of our favorites.

On this weeks episode, we invite Bobby to sit down and chat with us! As you may recall, Bobby "appeared" in our last episode, so we invited him to be on the podcast to sit down with us and chat. Bobby, as some of you may have guessed, is Dan's brother-in-law Michael Fernandez. Michael is another "nerd" and enjoys many tabletop games just like us, so we thought he would be the perfect guest to have as our first interview! I'm excited to have him join us so he care share with you his journey with the wonderful hobby. You can find Michael on Instagram below!

On this weeks episode, we discuss what some of our favorite tabletop games are. We also start to delve a bit into our thought processes when it comes to what games we choose to play and why we play them. For those of you who think that all we will talk about are trading and collectible card games, don't fret! We did NOT add any of those games to the lists! While we may discuss card games, that is games which utilize cards as an in game mechanic, we steer clear of games such as Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon (although we all know that's all Jim would talk about if he could). We enjoy you enjoy this weeks episode, and hope that maybe we give you some ideas for games to play for your next family game night!

Today on the podcast, Dan and Jim discuss how difficult it can be to get into trading card games (TCGs) and collectible card games (CCGs). TCGs and CCGs have been around for an extremely long time and have become extremely popular among the tabletop gaming community. If there is an intellectual property, chances are there is a TCG or CCG based around that IP. The guys really enjoy these kinds of games themselves and always enjoy playing matches of their favorite card games. Getting into these games can seem like a daunting task, however. In this episode, they discuss some of the barriers to entry that exist in getting into these games, and ultimately, why they think it is worth it to jump in and over those hurdles, and to not them scare you off.
