Episode 145: Rote Running with the Gobbos

What this episode covers

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Are you tired of Hobbes and Alex going on and on about Rote Runner, the purposeful, intentional, planner?!? If so, this is likely not the episode for you. You see after Hobbes and Alex discussed this topic back in January Alex reached out directly to the creator of the planner and he agreed to come on the show. Fun fact, his name is Irfan and he knows basically nothing about Magic. This means that Hobbes finally might convince someone of the genius planning done by one Nicol Bolas. Either way, this is a method/resource the hosts really believe in and wanted to find out how it came to be. Here's the link [https://roterunner.com/] to the method and an online resource!   Also Yankee Candles if you are reading this we would like to light more things on fire...
