Episode 182 – Everyone Needs to Watch Flight of Dragons

Warning: If you are not ok with a grown man gushing for an extended period of time about animated Rankin/Bass dragons – this is not the episode for you. Seeing as you’re here … you should be fine. In this episode of the podcast, Daniel gives an update on what has been dubbed “The Boyscout Game” of Dungeons and dragons. We take an archive dive to look at one of the earliest iterations of a deck building card game/board game hybrid – Trains, and I talk about alphabetizing magical libraries and gelatinous cube assistants in Ex Libris. Then we jump headlong into the waters of nostalgia. They up an announced a Transformers collectible card game – and we needed to have a discussion about seeing the things we love from our youth again and realizing how easy it is to overlook its flaws through all our happy memories … and then we talk about how this misapplication of fandom can make its way into our expressions of faith as well. If you’re looking for the episode of Bard & Bible I mention called Punching Gorbash – you can find that here.
