WIYQ 31: Martians took my Magic Cards!!!

You’re not gonna believe this folks. This WIYQ! Cam and Drew go deep into Cameron’s Magic the Gathering format - The Partner Commander Gauntlet, recapping the playtest from last weekend, their findings, and the upcoming “third wave” of decks added to The Gauntlet. Around the 50 min mark, Drew discusses the final month of art, his 4 day migraine, and production timelines looking forward to the PDF & physical release of The Epic of Dreams: Basilisk Edition (VERY FUN NEWS), as well as recent developments with artwork - see below. The gang also casually discusses topics like UFOs, alien abductions, kid Jesus’ social life at school, and grand implications of intergalactic possibilities… LINKS The Partner Commander Gauntlet Decklists: https://www.moxfield.com/users/Over_Score [https://www.moxfield.com/users/Over_Score] Drew’s Art Instagram, updated “daily”:https://www.instagram.com/death_by_doodle/ [https://www.instagram.com/death_by_doodle/]“Think Anomalous” YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/IBaw2oqVz8w [https://youtu.be/IBaw2oqVz8w] The Epic of Dreams: Basilisk Edition Late Pledges Here!https://gamefound.com/projects/drewcifer/the-epic-of-dreams-rpg-basilisk-edition#/ [https://gamefound.com/projects/drewcifer/the-epic-of-dreams-rpg-basilisk-edition#/] If you’re not a part of our discord yet, you can join here! https://discord.gg/gtFseJR [https://discord.gg/gtFseJR] Link to all our other stuff here! https://www.flowcode.com/page/epicofdreams [https://www.flowcode.com/page/epicofdreams] Our outro music, “Bruises” by IN DECAYhttps://indecay.bandcamp.com/album/epitaph [https://indecay.bandcamp.com/album/epitaph]What Is Your Quest, Weekly!

WIYQ 27: Playing With Yourself, But With Dice (Solo RPG Deep Dive)

THIS WIYQ! Cameron is on a well(er)-deserved vacation with his lovely wife, so Drew is all you get. From Drew: I’ve been working really hard on the Basilisk, myself, and have been thinking about Solo RPGs lately. In this episode, we go deep into solo RPG design theory, talk about several solo RPG products I’ve been using, as well as some of the grittier bits about the Gray Orphan’s Book (stretch goal with the Epic of Dreams Basilisk Edition). Oh yeah, Drew also narrates his solo session at camp for your entertainment.
