We're mashing stuff up! First up we're looking at the mashup of Marvel & MTG. The first batch of the Marvel cards were revealed at New York Comic Con so of course, we're gonna check them out. Then it's a mashup of our own creation, the good old Magic Mad Lib.

To finish up we're going into one of the most famous mashups in video games! What happens when you smash Disney into Final Fantasy? You get Kingdom Hearts! Chewie & Dirk recently finished the first game, Brian has played it relatively recently, and Mike played it way back in the day. We go into the ups and downs of the first game because why not?

The dorks are pointing out the horror movie tropes and references in the new set, and a dorky discussion ensues as usual.

Fear is a powerful and ever-present aspect of our lives. The dorks look at the Fears from Duskmourn, and use them as a jumping-off point to discuss our own fears. 

What are you afraid of?

The dorks dive into the horror tropes of Duskmourn! You know the drill by now - mechanics first then we dive into the card image gallery. And Chewie finds a new word that makes him happy.

Heh, boilerbilges.

After all this time, the dorks are finally closing the door on the Heirs of Trivester. Did you want a big boss fight? Because we've got a big boss fight!

We started this journey back in 2016, though the seeds were actually planted in 2009. To celebrate, I've gathered up all the episodes from before the show was posted on YouTube, made them into videos, and created a playlist of the whole RPG saga!

The dorks take a look at one of their favorite game genres - Role-Playing Games! We're bouncing around between games that we've loved over the years, both video and tabletop, and talking about why we feel how we do about them. Plus Chewie has to rant about how video game genres are complete nonsense (because they totally are - guess who writes these show notes?)

Tell us about your favorite RPGs!

This place is overrun with adorable and/or terrifying woodland critters! Yup, we're poking around in Bloomburrow again. Try not to step on the frogs. Or get caught up in a two-card game-winning combo.

The dorks return for real this time! Since we got the full update of where the hell we've been for the last couple months out of the way, this episode is all about Furry Ravnica. I mean, Bloomburrow.

This was recorded on June 6, but due to a whole lot of life happening, I never got to post it. Sorry about that. But here it is now, so enjoy!

The dorks are back! We're chatting about how the Fallout show is an excellent adaptation and why. There's some talk about Chewie's June streaming plans, which got disrupted by various emergencies and life in general. But it was a good plan that will return! We discuss the Final Fantasy 4 Pixel Remaster, have some nostalgia about Magic tournaments back in the day, and show off a listener-created Episode 700 card. Then we go back to Final Fantasy to reminisce on some memories of the series, touch on the Dragon Quest series, and get sidetracked by...Jedward? Wait, what?

Brian's homebrew MTG RPG continues! After our tribulations in the tunnel, the party finds itself in a large room. Syr, who we've been chasing down this tunnel the entire time, is in a pod of some sort. From here, all sorts of shenanigans ensue. Things get weird before the end. And of course, we end on a serious cliffhanger just to keep everyone invested!

Wait, why do I hear boss music?
