You find yourself cornered in an ancient castle that used to be your school as dark forces close in. Or maybe you find yourself being batted by gusts of wind as the shadow of an enormous red dragon appears overhead. Or wait, how about this? You are just trying to get rid of all of the artichokes.
What’s the best way to deal with any of this? Draw a few cards and hope for the best.
Our gaming focused episodes continue in November. After last month’s epic clash in Fury of Dracula, the Storytelling Breakdown team is discussing deck building card games. Caleb and Ben played the game Young Jedi all the way back in our first season. How can the narratives of familiar intellectual properties, like Star Wars or Harry Potter, come to life at the game table? What are some good deck builders for families and players young and more experienced? How do you find your footing in a deep well of something like Magic: The Gathering when you are just starting to learn to play the game? Join Ben, Caleb, Larissa, and Stephen to find out.
The life and legacy of legendary Batman voice Kevin Conroy is the subject of this episode’s Spotlight. Caleb and Ben’s conversation starts around the 00:53:24 mark.
