We recorded this podcast live from GAMA EXPO in Reno NV., The audio quality is not the best as a result, but we share our thoughts and experiences surrounding this trip!
Hey there and welcome welcome to another week of Lorcana!
Join us as we talk about organized play, allllll the new cards from last week, AND(!!!) our plans for GAMA next week!
We've waited since August to get the rules to Lorcana and today, we are joined by Adara to break it all down!
There’s no way to deny that we are starved for things to talk about in the Lorcana community. Which inevitably brings us back around to the same topics, same conversations and the same arguments.
So when LoreMadness was announced and running, it got a lot of us talking. Meme battles, electioneering and much debate was had during the course of LoreMadness.
Today we are joined by the creators and hosts of LoreMadness, Stephanie and James to discuss the madness that happened!
The Lorcana community is being built with care by people like Stephanie and James and in this episode we get to hear the behind the scenes!
Lately we have been hearing these three terms being used quite a bit on twitter and discord, but what exactly do they mean? Join us as we do our best to tease out the differences in these three terms.
In this episode we are joined by THREE special guests to discuss the story side of Lorcana.
Those in the Lorcana HQ discord will recognize them by their user names:
Surreal-George
Levram-Blake
Parkerob-Parker
Our story is taken from disneylorcana.com and from this write up in thegamer by Eric Switzer.
Make sure to check out Surreals project at dreamborn.ink and check out Levram's new youtube channel.
Today we discuss story stars, and inklands, and the great illuminary, and what it means to shift, and inkcasters and more.
Check out Blake’s new YouTube Lorcana lore video here: https://youtu.be/nNZx9U-2uWg
We are joined by a special guest who has had zero experience playing trading card games before. Our guest Adara shares with us potential barriers she sees getting into Lorcana, but also the benefits of why she is pushing through.
We also discuss the new steel card Gantu as well as the article discussing the lore behind Lorcana.
Join us as James shares his experience building a local fan club and Jared shares his gameplay for building a local Lorcana community.
I'm not much of.a collector, and James collects a small amount of stuff, but neither of us are as fanatical about collecting as today's guest, Nathan Kellenicki.
Nathan talks about collecting Lego, and hotwheels, and his plans to collect Lorcana (including his 14 Mickey Brave Little Tailor cards).
He gives advice to those who want to both collect and play Lorcana.
If you find yourself like James and I...new TCG players, then maybe you aren't very familiar with the lingo of the TCG world. In this episode we break the lingo down from board state to mill. If you are are a TCG veteran, make sure to share this with your friends and family you may not have the patience for!
We are joined by Sugi of the LorcanaCast to discuss what it takes for a good card game player to become a great card game player.
Sugi shares 11 key points that have helped him become a great player, and these are the traits that he has seen in other top TCG players.

Today we are joined by our very special guest Shawn Marshall of Parks and Cons to talk about convention preparation. So many of us are excited for Gencon that it was a no brainer to bring on this con veteran.

Today we finish our conversation with Mark Woodin as he shares with us how he went from casual play to competitive play and shares some tips he picked up along the way.
Make sure to check out his coaching servies at https://metafy.gg/@raijinku/sessions
On Jan 17 2023 IGN dropped an article with a lot of new Lorcana news. While we originally planned to talk about organized play at a higher level, we ended up breaking this podcast into two. This episode focuses on the IGN news and next episode will focus on organized play at a higher level.
We are excited to have on our very first guest. Mark Woodin aka Raijinku. If you would like to receive coaching for the One Piece card game you can find him at https://metafy.gg/@raijinku
Thanks again Mark for coming onto our podcast and chatting!
First off, I made a mistake...I used my airpods as my mic (ugh) so I sound like I'm talking into a tin can! I apologize and promise to not let that happen again!
This episode is designed to be a resource for new players looking at getting into weekly tournaments.
How to overcome the fear of the unknown and the fear of rejection so that you can make lifelong friends and a lifelong hobby!

Hello, and welcome! As we embark on this journey into Lorcana I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to you. Look forward to more exciting content headed your way.
