Greetings fellow witches, wizards, warlocks, and everything in between! SorceryCon Vegas 2024 has concluded, and with that, we have a lot of stuff to share and discuss. In Episode 25, I briefly highlight my experiences at SorceryCon that weekend, as well as share some exciting spoilers revealed there. The thing that makes this Episode quite special though is that we had an opportunity to sit and chat with Simon from Erik's Curiosa for his Podcast debut! So join us for this fun and exclusive interview with the Man, the Myth, the Legend, Simon himself. Enjoy!

Greetings fellow witches, wizards, warlocks, and everything in between! In this episode I interview Ron from the Sorcery Social Club, the organization that brought us the Courtesan Cup as well as the numerous qualifiers that led up to it. We discuss a lot of the behind the scenes stuff that happened during the Qualifiers and Cup weekend; the good, the bad, and the unexpected. Ron shares his insights with us as to what all goes into putting together a large Grand Prix-style competitive tournament event, and his take on the future of competitive Sorcery events, and Sorcery as a whole. Enjoy!
