Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast and the celebration of 8 years of doing this show (first episode was posted 6/18/2018). The goblins gather to celebrate 8 years for the podcast and this time the gathering is literal. All three hosts were present at CommandFest Tacoma recently and decided in true Goblin Fashion to record in a hotel room with a poor recording device. That's our way of saying that the audio might be a little... well... off. We hope you enjoy and please come join our discord (link can be found in our linktree)

We also finally have a Linktree with all of our discounts/resources

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Taya interviewed Seanan McGuire at the launch party for her new book Strixhaven Omens of Chaos. They discussed the primary characters and the behind the scenes development story of the book. This conversation is mostly spoiler free with the discussion limited to the character information already revealed. This was followed by a very amusing audience Q&A. Thanks to Crow’s Nest Comics for hosting this event.

Warning: Some Adult Topics and language cause it's Seanan :)

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast!

We have a lot going on here, which seems evergreen at this point. Alex does discuss some of what is happening in Minneapolis and while Hobbes is not on the recording he wanted to also just say that people need to pay attention to what is happening in Minnesota right now. Alex today returns to a topic we love during the new year... Planning... Purposefully... or at least planning to plan... purposefully

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast and the celebration of 7 years of doing this show (first episode was posted 6/18/2018). The goblins gather to celebrate 7 years for the podcast in the only way we know how.... kind of controlled chaos. All of the hosts separately chose 7... things(?) to talk about that are important to them. This episode is kind of long because there was a fair amount of cheating going on.

Also please stay around until the end of the episode for an announcement from Hobbes as well as information on some side project he will have around Suicide Prevention. He is running the Twin Cities Marathon to raise awareness and funds

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Happy Pride Month y'all! Today we are here to discuss the Queerness that appears to be inherent on the plane of Tarkir. This was initially sparked by seeing I Write Robots post on Felothar! Coupled with Jay Annelli's thread updating some of the demographics (and a great response mentioning Trans of Tarqueer) this seemed like a great time discuss some elements of queer representation in Magic.

Also check out The Truth of Names for some fantastic Magic storytelling: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/magic-story/truth-names-2015-01-28

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Hobbes and Taya are here to talk about one of Hobbes's favorite things (well many of them and only a tiny bit is about Bolas). We review something Hobbes first enlightened us about back in Episode 38 of the show... S.M.A.R.T. goals as a motivational and achievement too as well as the dreaded concept of planning!

Reminder that at the end of the month there will be a charity event for NAMI that the podcast is greatly committed to helping!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Taya and Alex find another excuse to talk about the upcoming Final Fantasy series while Hobbes takes a night off. They cover cards and story beats for several games, mostly the four from the commander decks (6, 7, 10, 14) focusing on cards covering emotional scenes and struggles for the characters involved. The potential mental health impacts of these scenes are explored as part of our commitment to May and Menta Health Awareness Month!

Hello, Podwalkers! We've missed y'all and we are gonna be at least one more week before we have full new episodes. But we wanted to share a few things. This weekend is a Charity Event for Translifeline being put on by some amazing creators. There is a Linktree here with all of the information including prizes/pods/auction items/information. Trans Rights are Human Rights. Recently on Bluesky Rebell posted an excellent post on Political Activism and the Gathering. As part of this the hosts are reaffirming their commitment to social justice and a mission of finding ways to talk about actionable advice for the topics we cover. If there's ideas people have for future guests where we can amplify our goal of action and not just "doom scrolling" or information fatigue, let us know

We also finally have a Linktree with all of our discounts/resources

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! While Hobbes and Taya were in Vegas, Taya sat down at a table for a random game. And there she met Jane (from Jane Plays Magic). As you do when playing Magic the two began to talk, they started to discuss their lives, their decks, their community. And from that chance meeting, this episode was born. An Episode that focuses on ways that we can build community.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! All the hosts are back for two weeks in a row y'all! This is the first time since early summer and hopefully is a signal of returning to "normalcy". Today's episode looks at specific cards from Foundations/Jumpstart 2025 and leads into a discussion of a Boxing League that Hobbes is currently in with other #MTGAmbassadors. Hobbes has to painfully describe how he ended up playing Sultai. His deck can be found here. A bit of a warning, we do discuss the election towards the end of the episode and the impact it has had on the hosts.

Hello, Podwalkers. Today we do not have a full episode. Today instead Hobbes wanted to sign on to talk about the recent situations involving the RC and EDH/Commander. This covers the topics of Emotions vs Behavior and Grief. We highly recommend checking out this previous episode with Ryan Sainio. Hobbes also mentions Emotion Wheels which can be a great tool.

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast and the celebration of 6 years of doing this show (first episode was posted 6/18/2018 but we had to re-record it after we lost it... so we'd TECHNICALLY been around...). The goblins gather to celebrate 6 years for the podcast and to talk about what the cast stands for and the major recurring themes that permeate the show. Along with this they provide some episode recommendations for those different topics.

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast and our final episode for May (aka Mental Health Awareness Month). Sure it's June but Goblins are gonna be Goblins. We are returning to a topic that Alex introduced way back in Episode 84 on Self-Compassion and Self-Care especially in the era of a Pandemic.

Today all three hosts are here to talk about the struggles we have with being compassionate towards ourselves, even when we are compassionate to those around us. We look at what self-compassion is (and also what it is not). We hope you all enjoy!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

TW: trauma, PTSD, sexual violence, rape, combat violence, death, social anxiety, depression.

Way back in Episode 2 of the show we discussed what trauma is and how it differs from – but relates to – post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD), and describes the resilience people find to work through a traumatic experience. While we have revisited elements of the topic we are doing so today explicitly in discussing the recent fall out of the War of the Machines and the various trauma responses we have seen. This episode focuses a lot on the topic of avoidance and while definitely a heavier topic, one we find important to discuss.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today is a very special miraculous episode (aka we are back form our break). We took the month of December off to recharge and it was needed. So why not come back with a topic that's important to us (so much so that we talked about it previously here and here). That's right Burnout! This time we are looking at the journey of Kaya who has been summoned back to Ravnica by Teysa Karlov.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to well... A bit of an update. The hosts have decided to take off the month of December.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today we have something a little different for y'all! It's a Gaming and Mental Health Panel using a similar structure as the Minneapolis Magic Con Panel. This one is Hobbes and some other Psychologist Friends! Dr. Allison Battles has a private practice (found here) that focuses on use of gaming in therapy and Dr. Patrick Cruitt has experience with incorporating TTRPGs into his work. The panel focuses on the recovery model and how gaming can be incorporated into Mental Health Care.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today the hosts sit down with close friend Beth, The Queen of Cardboard (we're ashamed she hasn't been on before...). Beth is actively involved with building communities and with helping organize charity work. A lot of this is thanks to Sheldon Menery and we discuss the upcoming Fuck Cancer... ummmmmm we mean Commander Charity Stream honoring Sheldon and raising money for the Moffit Cancer Center. The event will take place here on November 18th and 19th. We hope that you all can join us and celebrate our friend.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! He's back y'all and this time he's explicitly talking about Time and Space. We're talking of course about Gavin Verhey! Taya and Hobbes sit down to discuss the design of the set from a color pie, mechanical, and lore perspective. Gavin provides amazing insights (evergreen) on how the design team approached this set knowing it would be Commander Decks. Learning about the decisions that were made and why (yes Hobbes complained A LOT about the Grixis Villains) provides brilliant insight into how Universe Beyond and Magic Cards in general are created.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today is a very special miraculous episode. Two weeks in a row. We hope you all enjoy this look at the evolution of Playtest Cards to Unknown Event Cards and what it might mean for exploration of Magic Design. This includes a trip down memory lane looking at templating/rules from long past cards as well as how UN-Sets have previously paved the way for Magic Design. We talk about what people can/will do with these cards (wow Rule 0 gets even better) and say we hope Gavin will continue down this path.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today is a very special episode. As Alex points out, they are all special, but this one is a return to all three hosts being present!! Today the Goblins look at how big Magic Events have morphed and take a look in particular even in the growth of the last year (between Minneapolis and Vegas). We kind of recap Vegas and look at what went well and where there still could be some changes. We hope you all enjoy!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! This week Taya and Alex profile everyone’s favorite goblin with wild hair, Vial Smasher. We talk about her story, Tarkir as a whole, and do a deck tech for Taya’s Vial Smasher commander deck. The deck is a big mana deck designed to cast a large Villainous Wealth while doming opponents with Vial Smasher in the process. Goblins love setting fires and playing with other people’s toys.

Hello Podwalkers! Today Alex is joined by Amy and Hunter of Two Shrinks Pod, and Dan of Leftover Army Monster podcasts in our first major collaboration with the Fireside Alliance, to discuss the Civilization video game series (turn based strategy games where your goal is to bring a civilization from a single city to global dominance through any of a number of different types of victories). This wide ranging conversation includes topics around problematic elements in a game that is supposed to represent real history to some degree, and more technical aspects. There is also general goofiness and fun stories/favorite strategies. While this episode does not discuss Magic elements, the topics of community and mental health are present. It’s a fairly big departure from our normal topics, but was a way to higlight collaboration with other creators who are part of the Fireside Alliance. We hope y’all enjoy it!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today Alex is solo and talking about a topic that's been on his mind recently, trying to find a balance in hobbies to help mitigate burnout. This topic is relevant to a lot of hobbies, including Magic, and Alex touches on that briefly, but does mostly talk about this topic in the context of returning to World of Warcraft: Classic recently. That game is the main focus of this episode, though Alex did try to keep it high level enough folks who don't play that game should be able to follow along

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today Hobbes and Alex say congrats to Hipsters of the Coast on reaching 10 years of producing content... This celebration happened awhile ago... But us being us... we're a little late. Also the idea was to do a top 10 (which Alex and Hobbes did not tell each other anything about their lists) and of course we talked for almost two hours so this is ummmm the second half of our lists... but only kind of because we actually did 6 things last week...

But For general Mental Health the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has great resources for people struggling with mental health concerns as well as their families. We also want to draw attention to this article on stigma from NAMI's site.

On today's episode we have the triumphant return of Chase after too long of an absence. We are also joined by returning guest Reinhardt as the four Goblins attempt to tackle Impostor Syndrome. The cast previously discussed this topic way back in Episode 59 through the lens of Tiana. Alex and Hobbes felt that this topic needed a revist and more perspectives. Also giving Chase the reins means we get more tangential video clips to watch!

On today's episode Hobbes has to eat crow (not the literal bird but I mean maybe he should...). Over the past couple of years Hobbes has been known to rant about Squee and comments that Squee has been done dirty. Well with Dominaria United, our lovable friend Squee (and his toy) get their own story. We were fortunate enough to have Dan Sheehan (the writer of this storye and also the cohost of the Commander Sphere podcast) stop by and talk about the responsibility of creating the world around Squee.

On today's episode Hobbes is joined by Sheldon Menery the Godfather of EDH. As many may know Sheldon has been in a battle with cancer for going on 6 years. Hobbes and Sheldon discuss how this can affect his ability to engage in Magic, any changes in his relationship with the game and the community as well as the concept of legacy. We discuss acceptance and the concept of intentionality and engagement. Finally Sheldon encourages people to come to the RC Discord, the best place to find him these days.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Here it is y'all!! The collaboration the Ravnica Post called "The Worst Idea in the Multiverse" and the Shivan Times proclaimed "Oh God, no... we're all going to die!! That's right The Worlds of Goblins collide when we pair up with Spice8Rack and talk Goblin things... kind of... This is is part 3 so if you missed part 1 and part 2 you should go listen now...

Today the three Goblins (well mainly Spice) answer mailbag questions from our listeners!! We don't know what else to say other than we did finally let Spice out of the Warrens to allow it roam the wider world once again.

Not much else to say but go throw money at Spice so it can continue to produce the Lore Content that makes the rest of us feel like Impostors... delicious, tasty Impostors!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Before we get to the episode we want to remind you of a GoFundMe to support one of the kindest and most hilarious creators whose son has new onset of seizures. These is also streams for them this weekend.

Alex talks with writer and friend Tim Niederriter about the story of the set Prophecy, the last set of the before the Invasion block which was the culmination of the Weatherlight story, the first major storyline in Magic which Prophecy didn't really seem to be a part of. Tim goes through the links for that set that actually do go back to Urza (who is the worst) and the and Alex talk about how this story shapes parts of both the Invasion story, and stories on Dominaria further into the future

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Before we get to the episode we want to remind you of the Charity Event this weekend.

Alex and returning guest Reinhardt Suarez talk about the fantasy story sub-genre of Portal Fantasy (stories that generally have their protagonist, and possibly others, travel to another worlds, usually from Earth, in some manner) , and how the stories of the 5 Origins Planeswalkers seem to have taken inspiration from it.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today we return with a Goblin Profile! But for this Goblin we are doing things a little different. This Goblin is so amazing that they needed 2 parts! The Goblin? Kiki-Jiki, the Mirror-Breaker. For part one we were joined by the Queen (Mab the Queen that is) to discuss a community that has embraced Kiki-Jiki. This specifically grew out of the cEDH Community and the trans-femme community. Part 2 delves a little deeper into the lore with the Gruulboss (aka Skylar) and look at Kiki through the lens of Autism!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today we return with a Goblin Profile! But for this Goblin we are doing things a little different. This Goblin is so amazing that they are going to be getting 2 parts! The Goblin? Kiki-Jiki, the Mirror-Breaker. For part one we are joined by the Queen (Mab the Queen that is) to discuss a community that has embraced Kiki-Jiki. This specifically grew out of the cEDH Community and the trans-femme community. Part 2 will be delving a little deeper into the lore (though will have many call backs to this episode, we don't want to give too much away, but we are really excited to feature this Goblin as part of Pride Month).

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! May is Mental Health Awareness Month and the plan is for all the episodes this month to relate to important topics within Mental Health. We are also participating (along with other excellent creators) in #MentalHealthMtG and attempting to raise money for MH Organizations!!

Today's episode is a little different. Hobbes is still recovering from the MH Charity Event 2 Day Streaming Extravaganza (or something). He does a brief recap of that before handing it over to Alex to discuss Cognitive Distortions/Common Mistakes in Thinking. We discussed this way back in Episode 69 about Davriel's "Entity" and May seemed like a good time to revisit, This article is used as the jumping off point for discussion and can be a resource to learn more!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and the plan is for all the episodes this month to relate to important topics within Mental Health. We are also participating (along with other excellent creators) in #MentalHealthMtG and attempting to raise money for MH Organizations!!

For today's episode Alex and Hobbes are joined by returning guests Taya and Reinhardt! We wanted more perspectives to tackle the topic of how to start conversations about Mental Health. With Stigma still being a significant barrier (even for our Planeswalkers) we felt it was important to put this out there. For story today we look to Elspeth and her Lost Confession and we also learn that there is fanfic out there about a therapist to the Planeswalkers!

CW: Grief, Death

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! May is Mental Health Awareness Month and the plan is for all the episodes this month to relate to important topics within Mental Health. We are also participating (along with other excellent creators) in #MentalHealthMtG and attempting to raise money for MH Organizations!!

Earlier Hobbes put out a call for Magic Story related to Grief and people answered with everything from storylines (Feldon, Ajani, Kamahl) to Flavor Texts to Card Names to Art. Grief is a tough topic to tackle and we had previously reached out to our friend (and fellow Hipster of the Coaster?) Ryan Sainio about finally doing an episode. He has been open about the loss of his sister and today he discusses his personal journey with grief (he has touched on it in a scripted audio drama). This also leads to an examination of the Stages of Grief popularized across Media and why they might not be the best way to discuss this difficult process.

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 to the method and an online resource!

Also Yankee Candles if you are reading this we would like to light more things on fire... (we said this back in January... sadly they have not actually returned any emails yet...)

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast... kind of. We do not have a full new episode for you all this week but we do have a brief update from Alex. On top of updating you all on Mental Health Awareness Month and the plans we are finalizing Alex also took this opportunity to reiterate something the cast wants very clear: Trans Rights are Human Rights. In the face of increasing legislation aimed at attacking the rights of a vulnerable population the cast wanted to ensure that our position was and remains abundantly clear. See you all next week with a longer episode.

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast and welcome back to our special guest DeQuan Watson (one of the hosts of the Color of Magic podcast). In part one of a two part series Hobbes and DeQuan discuss Content Creation and the need for Intentionality and Marketing. When DeQuan met with the cast back in 2020 he had moved to full time content creation and continues in this role. We approached DeQuan after the SCG announcement cutting back on their competitive content in particular. While this is more of the focus of Pt 2 (sorry DeQuan hi-jacked the show!) today we look at ways for content creators to expand their audiences and improve their product!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! This week have an excited announcement related to a partnership with ZenCastr! We have been using them to record the cast and you can now get a discount (details below) if you want to use them for your podcast needs.

For today's topic we have dug deep for our lore and are returning to the Dark to discuss Jodah (who apparently was "chased" by "Goblins" and fell into some fountain giving him long life) and his Magical Mirror. This Mirror has had a lot of uses but most importantly in the early days of his long life it allowed Jodah to store his memories as a way to cope with the grief and despair that he experienced. This sets us up nicely to bring back up (thanks Chase!!) the topic of Coping Ahead from Dialectical Behavior Therapy!

We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! This week we are returning to Kamigawa to talk about Technology on the Plane. Inspired from the first meeting between Kaito and the Futurist Katsumasa and their discussion on who has access to technology Hobbes started to think about his own job as a therapist and how this has shifted with the rise of Teletherapy. The hosts' discussion ranges from simply access to these services to the pros and cons of both providing and receiving telehealth services!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! And we are back with our 7th Episode Using The Color Pie to discuss one of our top 3 Topics (Food). With each episode we find ourselves refining our Color Pie Theory for Food/Cooking and today's episode will continue that "refinement". Today we take on the American Breakfast... This stemmed from a discussion of excess and Hobbes's belief that every food would basically include Black. Let us know what you think. Also Hobbes would like to apologize for the audio. Something was causing interference with his mic (which appears to be fixed) but this had already been recorded. We hope it does not detract too much...

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Back in Episode 109 and Episode 110 Alex and Hobbes were lucky enough to be able to discuss the Killian Lu story with Michelle and Ryan (fist time guest!). A lot of what was discussed then drew heavily from this video by Eugene Yang on Anti-Asian Hate and addressed concerns about the way the story had been told. At the end of those episodes Ryan had mentioned the rumors about the Return to Kamigawa.

Since then there had been apprehension. What would Kamigawa bring? How would it handle Asian Representation in a Cyberpunk World set in a futuristic Kamigawa. So we again reached out to Michelle and Ryan, and while we did this world building video dropped (please go watch if you haven't yet). Last week we covered the video, this week we need to dive a little deeper into the story. The Phyrexians are back in a clearer way than they were on Kaldheim, but we still don't know what is going on. And unfortunately this type of story is not something that Alex in particular enjoys (we cover why today). This leads us to an important discussion about what is coming (both in the story and perhaps with the cast.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Taya is back with us!!! In case you missed she visited the cast way back in Episode 115. Hobbes and Alex previously took on Psychographics/Aesthetics when it comes to Magic Players and that episode introduced the concept of the hybrid Melvin/Vorthos player... the Melthos . Today we dive deeper into what this could mean with examples that we feel both hit and miss this aesthetic. Today's episode mentions a lot of works previously done especially by Mark Rosewater so we are including links to these .

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! This week's episode is a return to the topics of Resolutions and Goal Setting. The last time we talked about this was in January of 2020 (we were naive Goblins at the time) and Alex introduced Hobbes and Chase to a method for resolution setting. Around that time Alex had found an amazing Planning Journal and recently bought Hobbes a copy for the Holidays! In today's episode Alex takes Hobbes through it and we also look at how this method incorporates Mindfulness. Here's the link to the method and an online resource!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! And we are back with part two of a look at our friend Jay Annelli's book on the Legends of the Multiverse. This fantastic book is a visual history with plenty of amazing artwork. Perfect for an audio podcast to talk about right?? Also we want to say congrats to Jay on the birth of his child and his amazing roast of Hobbes. Hilariously this week's episode might have made that roast hit a little close to home.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! And we are back with part two of a look at our friend Jay Annelli's book on the Legends of the Multiverse. This fantastic book is a visual history with plenty of amazing artwork. Perfect for an audio podcast to talk about right?? Also... this episode is an example of when Hobbes and Alex cannot engage brains to function at normal speeds... Trust us, we got lost even writing this paragraph

Again we would like to state that Black Lives Matter (with a link to where you can offer support both monetary and not).

We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to not an episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Instead this week we just have a brief update on where we are and where we are going to be coming up. Hobbes has been busy prepping for the arrival of a new little Monster (as named by his Goblin Daughter Gwen). Alex's work situation has been in a state of change and we are entering a busy season for him. Not shockingly, for both hosts this also means Mental Health and Wellness has been affected. We are also entering the phase of Holidays which in the past has meant difficulty with putting out new material. We have some things planned (including a guest that we think will really get people excited). So sit back and listen to this not episode by Alex.

Again we would like to state that Black Lives Matter (with a link to where you can offer support both monetary and not).

We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast!

cw, tw: suicide, suicidal thoughts, depression

Even though we have passed the months of May and September when we have our heaviest focus on Mental Health, we could not pass up a chance to collaborate with another fantastic guest to discuss Mental Health. Today is Part 2 and picks up where we left off last week starting an explicit discussion of Depression. We cannot say thank you enough to Anthony Waters for joining for this and for his willingness to be so open with the hosts. This is probably the most raw/emotional episode we have done and we hope that you feel comfortable listening. As always we have resources below for anyone struggling with mental health concerns.

Again we would like to state that Black Lives Matter (with a link to where you can offer support both monetary and not).

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Even though we have passed the months of May and September when we have our heaviest focus on Mental Health, we could not pass up a chance to collaborate with another fantastic guest to discuss Mental Health. Today is Part 1 (and a warning now that Part 2 will definitely be a heavier, important, necessary discussion) in which we mainly talk about Anthony's history with Magic the Gathering. This includes ways that the community and artists interact allowing a dialogue between creator and fan in a way that is rarely seen. The conversations ranges all over the place (we're so sure you are shocked) and ends with us just introducing next week's more direct discussion of Mental Health. We cannot say thank you enough to Anthony Waters for joining for this and will have much more to say about him in next week's episode.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

cw, tw: suicide, suicidal thoughts, depression

Back in our forty-seventh and forty-eighth episodes, Chase joined us to discuss how Magic: the Gathering has handled suicide and suicidal thoughts in its stories – from Gideon Jura, to Chandra Nalaar, to the Primeval dragon Darigaaz. In an article on our website, too, previous host Joe explored some of these concepts and how they were handled in War of the Spark.

This is a sensitive topic that is extremely important to the members of the cast, and we feel like it's necessary to examine the depictions of these mental health crises in popular media. We hope those episodes can be educational for those who have not experienced these thoughts and feelings, and comfort and a resource for those who have. 

For today's episode we return to that topic while also looking at a narrative technique (so we're joined again by Reinhardt!!): The Hero's Sacrifice. This is a story element that can be done well and used effectively and also can fall pretty flat. We want to look at this topic and also leave Suicide Awareness Month with another focus on how this device may play out in Magic and in other popular media.

We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee!

Hello Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today on the cast Alex sits down with returning guest Reinhardt Suarez to talk about the direction that Magic Story has taken over the years and the way this has been structured. There is a focus not only on where story has been but where it can go. It’s a heavy craft-centric episode, we hope you enjoy it!

Hello, Podwalkers and welcome back! We're back for the second way in a row and we are continuing to honor the mission of the show and taking care of ourselves. This is extra relevant as September is Suicide Awareness Month (links below are always in show notes but want to highlight them). Also we wanted to use this opportunity to encourage more people to come and join our Discord, where we continue to have amazing discussions and an amazing community that was active even during this break!

Last week Alex discussed Zada and her allies and his Zada Deck. This led to a lot of discussion of community (and 1DH as a format!). This week we have another Goblin Profile (with a deck to go with it!). This week is Grenzo, our favorite Dungeon Warden. Hobbes takes us through his deck... of ALL ARTIST PROOFS!! What is an artist proof? How do you get into collecting them? Well guess you will need to listen...

On another new note (phew we have a lot to say when we've been gone a month)... We have joined The Fireside Alliance. From their main page: "An independent media network and a progressive community of progressive communities"

Again we would like to state that Black Lives Matter (with a link to where you can offer support both monetary and not).

We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee!

Hello, Podwalkers and welcome back! We've been gone with new episodes for over a month (outside of a brief update). And we missed you, a lot. But we also were honoring the mission of the show and taking care of ourselves.

Also we wanted to use this opportunity to encourage more people to come and join our Discord, where we continue to have amazing discussions and an amazing community that was active even during this break!

Now on to this episode!! It's a Goblin Profile... of a Goblin we have very Lore for. But that's never stopped us and it definitely did not stop Alex from creating a deck around our Profilee. It's the Amazing Zada and her Targeted Army! There's a lot of discussion about community in today's episode as well as information on a different way to play Commander.

On another new note (phew we have a lot to say when we've been gone a month)... We have joined The Fireside Alliance. From their main page: "An independent media network and a progressive community of progressive communities"

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! And we are back with our Fifth Episode Using The Color Pie to discuss one of our top 3 Topics (Food). With each episode we find ourselves refining our Color Pie Theory for Food/Cooking and today's episode will continue that "refinement". In particular there is a lot more exploration of the Color Pie as it relates to food preparation versus food consumption. And yes... we talk snacks including this important one!

Hello Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today on the cast we sat down with Nathan (aka @FNatesta) to discuss the Aetherborn, especially through the lens of Yahenni. We revisit the stories related to this and follow up on our previous episode about Queerness in Magic. Nathan discusses their experience being nonbinary and also the relationship with this and the representation of the Aetherborn.

Hello Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today on the cast we celebrate our 3rd Anniversary!! Alex, Hobbes, and Chase sat down with nothing more than a bunch of categories submitted by listeners of Top 3s of something. We do not think there has been this much laughter and poor treatment of Hobbes in forever! It's amazing, and sweet, and a very fitting 3rd Anniversary for us all!

Hello Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

We're not gonna bury the lede here so:

On the episode Alex and Hobbes look at the Mechanics, the Art (OMG Y'all Aaron Miller is incredible), The Flavor, bringing their own brand of Melthos Heat. Thank you Wizards for this free preview again, this was such a fun experience bringing this all to you!

Hello Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today on the cast Alex sits down with returning guest Reinhardt Suarez to talk about two pieces of Magic fiction that Reinhardt wrote. Reinhardt was on the show back in episode 78 to discuss what Science Fiction in the Multiverse has looked like to date, and potential future directions. Since that time Reinhardt has worked with Wizards on pieces specifically for Strixhaven!! Discussion today looks at his experiences working with Wizards while writing those two pieces, and about writing in general. As usual the goblins meander through a number of topics, including the value of editors, dealing with imposter syndrome as a writer (or creative in general) and some differences between self publishing and traditional publishing. It’s a heavy craft-centric episode, we hope you enjoy it!

Reinhardt can be found at: https://www.thereinhardtexperience.com/

The stories Reinhardt wrote for Strixhaven are: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/chains-bind-2021-04-09 https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/mentor-2021-04-16

Please also check out Innocent Chizaram Ilo’s story that Reinhardt talked about during the cast: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/blue-green-ribbons-2021-04-23

We are also participating (along with other excellent creators) in #MentalHealthMtG and attempting to raise money for MH Organizations!!

In today's episode we have the fortune to be joined by Magic Artist and adopted Goblin Jeff Laubenstein! Throughout the Pandemic Jeff has been a shining bright spot for a lot of us through his #CoronaToken Project. He has taken members of the community and Goblinized them... Over 400 and still counting of them! Hobbes, Gwen, and most recently Dunkin' have all been fortunate to be immortalized in this way. In addition to this Jeff talks about his history with as a Magic Artist and the community that he has built over the years. Jeff had been traveling around from Magicfest to Magicfest prior to the Pandemic and all of a sudden (like for many of us) this greatly changed. So join us for the final episode of Mental Health Awareness Month!

We are also participating (along with other excellent creators) in #MentalHealthMtG and attempting to raise money for MH Organizations!!

In today's episode we have the fortune to be joined by the fantastic force known as Taya from the Loregoyfs (one of our favorite casts, though as a reminder they are on hiatus). Today we are discussing the character of Narset, who has been identified as Neurodivergent (see Doug Beyer Question, and the story "The Great Teacher's Student" by Kimberly Kreines). This episode focuses on Autism, with a discussion of Taya's experience as an Autistic Transwoman. We delve into organizations that have been harmful towards autistics as well as organizations that are better advocates and good resources (such as the Autism Self Advocacy Network). We discuss the harm of therapies such as ABA as well as how there are therapy options that might be helpful to autistic individuals.

In today's episode we have the return of Chase!!!! She helps Hobbes and Alex revisit a topic from way back in Episode 30: Nissa and Burnout. The hosts talk about their experiences with this topic as well as the nature of Burnout during a Pandemic. This again is a tough topic given that the first step is awareness that Burnout is even occurring. The hosts discuses some ideas on how to do this and ways to practice things such as self-compassion!

cw, tw: suicide, suicidal thoughts, depression, self-harm

In today's episode we are joined by ALK Alters to discuss his experience with Mental Health Care (both from the standpoint of outpatient and inpatient). ALK candidly discusses his experience with being hospitalized and what this looked like for him. Our hope is that by discussing these topics we can help to combat stigma and to also be frank about the full spectrum of MH Care.

This is a sensitive topic that is extremely important to the members of the cast, and we feel like it's necessary to examine the depictions of these mental health crises in popular media. We hope this episode can be educational for those who may be wondering what a hospitalization may look like. What is discussed here is based on the experience of our guest (and Hobbes's work in inpatient settings). There are links below to several resources.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Did you know that we have a whole series based around Profiles about Goblins? Apparently neither did we as we have only really Profiled Krenko and Slobad so far... So we felt we needed to rectify this by talking about one of our favorite Goblins (and the winner of Mark Rosewater's Head to Head of Famous Goblins) Squee. Did you know a lot about Squee? We didn't and when we went to look we were kind of saddened by the amount of Squee Lore that can easily be found. In fact his MtG Pedia entry is a single paragraph. So... what do we know about Squee (shout out to Jay Anelli and his amazing book you should go buy)? Let's explore that as the hosts tangent from Squee's Hidden Super Power to talking about how he was done dirty in our return to Dominaria. Hopefully we have not seen the last of the Goblin who rose to the rank of Nabob and is now Immortal. Oh also the Return of Squee/Bolas Buddy Cop and the amazing art of Tappy!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! This week we really are going back to school with our own Master of all things Libraries. We're of course talking about returning guest (it's been awhile...) Morgan!! She previously was on way back in episode 10 and 11 which started out as musings on literature in Magic and delved deeper into curation. With a plethora of new books to talk about (no really go look at her thread here) we invited Morgan back on to build off of her previous appearance. Her and Alex break down each school on Strixhaven and examine their relationship (or perhaps lack of relationship) with the books.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Last week's episode was part one inspired by the story of Killian Lu that had been alluded to so far and drew heavily on two very important threads about this (here and here) especially as it leans into harmful stereotypes. This is part two of this important discussion led by Michelle (welcome back friend!) and Ryan (fist time guest!). In pt 1 of our conversation with them we focused on the story of Killian so far, the Myth of the Model Minority, as well as the idea of Tiger Parenting. A lot of what is discussed then and again today also draws heavily from this video by Eugene Yang on Anti-Asian Hate. Part 2 picks up the conversation with what this representation means and hope for where things can go.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! After last week's discussion at the start of the last episode the hosts had briefly discussed the story of Killian Lu that had been alluded to so far and drew heavily on two very important threads about this (here and here) especially as it leans into harmful stereotypes. After recording last week's episode we reached out to Michelle (welcome back friend!) and Ryan (fist time guest!) to see if they were willing to discuss this further. In pt 1 of our conversation with them we focus on the story of Killian so far, the Myth of the Model Minority, as well as the idea of Tiger Parenting. A lot of what is discussed today also draws heavily from this video by Eugene Yang on Anti-Asian Hate.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today Hobbes and Alex had set out to talk about the Schools of Strixhaven. The intention was to have a very clear discussion about how use of short hands (in this case the Guild Names) for two color pairs could be facing a paradigm shift. We've discussed on the show previously about how Izzet does not equal UR. Now with the introduction of named Schools that appear very different than their Ravnica Counterparts we could see a reframe of how to talk about color pairs. Also there's a fun thread to check out on this.

That had been the full intention. But prior to the episode coming out some more "story" came out about students from the schools. In particular the story of Killian Lu was alluded to and as you can see in these two threads there were a lot of thoughts about this (here and here) especially as it leans into harmful stereotypes. While this is a larger topic (spoiler alert, we're planning to address it in a whole episode) we did start out today's episode by acknowledging it.

Again we would like to state that Black Lives Matter (with a link to where you can offer support both monetary and not).

We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today Hobbes sat down with one of the newest members of the Commander Advisory Group (CAG) to discuss this new role. This is Gregory Sablan who is Active Duty Military. We discuss everything from the representation of the military in Magic, to his new role, to the altering of Magic Cards (check out the site he runs on FB). We are excited to start this discussion about service members (and veterans) who play magic and how that voice is being heard by the CAG and RC!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today we have Princess Lily here to talk about... well a lot of things. We do manage to keep on topic early on as we discuss her upcoming Charity Commander Spectacular in aid of TransLifeline which will be 3/13/21 and Hobbes will be stopping by for some MtGO Commander (there's a lot of other really cool people involved but you'll have to listen). After discussion of this event we cover everything from Lily's experience as a Transwoman in Magic, her work as a Community builder, and then the rails just fall off. Somehow food got brought up? And then Street Vendors and Food on Ravnica?*

Link to Lily's Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/princesslilychan

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today we have part 2 on Music and Storytelling. Part one explored the role of the Bards in Magic and where we are potentially heading as we approach the DnD set. We were joined by friend of the cast Erik Linden who is a local Minneapolis Educator and Musician. While Part one highlighted the story of Yisan the Bard and his travels with Jalira and ending with a discussion of ballads/storytelling in songs Part 2 discusses story telling on Kaldheim (with an eye to Birgi) and then the role of Music in Storytelling. We end with learning about Erik's journey with music and some actionable advice for creators of all kind of art.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! And we are back with our Fourth Episode Using The Color Pie to discuss one of our top 3 Topics (Food). With each episode we find ourselves refining our Color Pie Theory for Food/Cooking and today's episode will continue that "refinement". Now we also realized that language is interesting which means we went down the Rabbit Hole of "What is a Sandwich?" which led us to a hilarious article that we mention from the Minnesota Law Review. We also get to mock Alex for just now discovering how amazing the Binging with Babish You Tube Channel is (trust us, go watch this episode).

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today we have a little discussion on deckbuilding and ways to both personalize and to use your deck to tell a story. Hobbes is joined on today's episode by Dan Rothbart (aka @majin_shinsa on Twitter) to talk about his Kenrith deck built around the interplay between the King and Kingdom. The second half of the episode talks about Hobbes's latest Project. Bringing Grenzo to shine by creating a deck using Artist Proofs? Don't know what those are? We got you covered there too!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! We are now on the other side of our 100th episode and ready to bring all new content. This episode is a collaboration with our friend Meghan (aka Sheepwave) and an exploration of Niko, a Non-Binary Planeswalker that shows up on Kaldheim. This episode uses the discussions found on the mother ship (as well as this tweet thread) to explore this character and why their identity is important for representation within the game. Meghan also discusses her relationship with Alesha, the fantastic short store The Truth of Names, and what brought her back to Magic after a break when she was younger.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! We missed you all over the holiday season and in the future we might need to just realize that these two weeks are not great for us getting out episodes. As we approach 100 episodes we are looking at the second part of the Magic Articles that accompanied the release of Commander Legends. For those interested in the full article you can find it here. We both got a little silly and quite a lot tangential so we apologize up front (something Goblins are known for). Oh yah also this is Part 2 of Part 2 of Commander Legends (it's really confusing trust us).

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

Back in our forty-ninth episode, Alex and Joe discussed a goblin character that we had not physically seen yet in Magic: the Gathering lore – Krark, of the Mirrodin goblins – and the clan he founded and inspired. This episode looked at the Gambler's Fallacy in the real world! Hobbes had been unable to join and was particularly upset as Krark is very dear to him.

So last week we returned to this topic with a very special guest (Orcish Librarian). We start our discussion of why we all suck at identify randomness and had to endure Hobbes's wild theories on the development of Krark as it relates to a famous Mathematician who flipped a lot of coins. This week continues with tangents, wild theories about another Magic Character and a lot more on chaos.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

Back in our forty-ninth episode, Alex and Joe discussed a goblin character that we had not physically seen yet in Magic: the Gathering lore – Krark, of the Mirrodin goblins – and the clan he founded and inspired. This episode looked at the Gambler's Fallacy in the real world! Hobbes had been unable to join and was particularly upset as Krark is very dear to him.

So let's return to this topic now that we know a little more about Krark. We also have a friend who has been on the show before and BEGGED to come back we swear (Orcish Librarian). Learn why we all suck at identify randomness and stick around for Hobbes's wild theories on the development of Krark as it relates to a famous Mathematician who flipped a lot of coins.

Hello Podwalkers,

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! For today's episode Alex and Hobbes were joined by the now officially sometimes hose of the cast Chase (aka ManaCurves) to discuss what Depression using the story of Karn as the jumping off point. This is part 2 of our discussion on this topic though it has been 9 episodes since part 1! There is a joke among the cast that time has no meaning and we had to re-record a large chunk of what was done previously as the prior recording had all sorts of audio issues. Today focuses a lot more on the real world implications and needed a fair amount of time devoted to it. So enjoy!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! In addition to bringing you part 2 of our Discussion on Psychographics and Personality we also have a giveaway! This giveaway is different than a lot of the ones we have done before. We are joined by Chris (aka Harmless Offering) who has a new project working at getting decks into players hands. He created a special flavorful Goblin Deck and you'll have to listen to the intro to find out more!

After the intro Hobbes and Alex finish their discussion on Psychographics and Aesthetics when it comes to Magic Players before moving into the real world topic of Personality Characteristics. This includes looking more at both Psychographics and Personality Characteristics as dimensions along a spectrum rather than a categorical approach. Today's episode again mentions a lot of works previously done especially by Mark Rosewater so we are including links to these .

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Alex is back after a few episodes away and he comes back to the podcast with an episode topic he had been wanting us to cover for awhile. Hobbes and Alex take on Psychographics/Aesthetics when it comes to Magic Players. This is a topic that we've talked around, mentioned, and hinted at but realized we had not tackled head on. Part 1 deals with these categories and introduces the idea of different ways to look at them. Part 2 will bring that to our own lives and the nature of personality. Today's episode mentions a lot of works previously done especially by Mark Rosewater so we are including links to these .

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

In today's episode Hobbes is revisiting a solo episode that he did (#38) on the importance of S.M.A.R.T. goals as a motivational and achievement tool, while explaining how Nicol Bolas almost certainly used those kinds of goals to help his long-term planning. We all know how that turned out though... which leads us to Problem Solving and a novel 5 step method called S.C.A.L.E!

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast and to a different kind of episode. On the day that this was going to be recorded Hobbes was not feeling well, and Alex stepped up to take the lead to discuss Self-Compassion and Self-Care especially in the era of a Pandemic. This was spurred in part by a talk that he had listened to from a local convention that had been canceled and moved to online. After listening to the recording Hobbes realized that he wanted to tie in an experiential exercise for you all related to this. If you want to check out the script for this exercise it can be found here.

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast as we are once again joined by Michelle Rapp (aka KilnFiendPotter). Michelle was the first guest of the Goblin Lore Podcast way back in episodes 8 and 9 when she discussed the Color Pie and Art with us! We welcomed her back as we were struck by the discussion in this article she wrote for Card Kingdom. In Part 1 we discussed her cats, the before times (pre-COVID), and Jace the Mindsculptor and now in Part 2 we pick up that discussion with looking at a more recent character Lukka (from Ikoria) as well as talking about the Real World Implications of Toxic Masculinity.

Again we would like to state that Black Lives Matter (with a link to where you can offer support both monetary and not).

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast, pull up a chair and pour yourself a cup of your favorite drink as we stroll down memory lane. In today's episode Alex and Hobbes are taking things back to the very beginning, 2 years ago, when they were both approached by Joe about a new cast idea. This episode pulls back the curtain to talk about the growth and changes that the cast have had over the past two years. From the beginning to looking forward, this episode is an ode to those that have allowed us to get to where we are today.

We want to give a special thanks to our "unofficial" co-host Chase as well as our very first guest Michelle because without them this would not have started or continued. We also want to give special thank yous to Erin Campbell, Tappy, Olivia, Jackal Costuming, Titus Lunter, and all of the guests and our Patrons.

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast as we take a trip into what Science Fiction may look like in the Magic the Gathering Multiverse. Alex and Hobbes are joined by a local Minneapolis writer, nerd, metalhead, karaoke star, and raconteur(Reinhardt Sanchez) to take a deeper look into this genre and see where Magic has dipped into this topic and ideas on where this could go from a narrative and design standpoint!

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast and strap your selves in. This is a longer episode due in part to the amazing questions that you all sent us to ask DeQuan Watson (one of the hosts of the Color of Magic podcast). In part one of a two part series the hosts discussed with DeQuan representation of Characters of Color in Magic Lore with a fair amount of tangential seeming stories that are very important to the overall discussion. If you haven't listened to Pt 2 you should probably go do that now...  Today in Pt 2 we are back with mailbag questions and actionable advice for steps we can take for addressing issues of race in the Magic Community.

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast. During the introduction to last week's episode our hosts discussed the importance of taking a more active stance when it comes to social issues. DeQuan Watson (one of the hosts of the Color of Magic podcast) had put out a message stating that he is willing to talk with people who might have questions, both about what they can do and about the presence of Content Creators of Color. In part one of a two part series the hosts discuss with DeQuan representation of Characters of Color in Magic Lore with a fair amount of tangential seeming stories that are very important to the overall discussion.

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast. After finishing up May as Mental Health Awareness, our Goblin Hosts had taken a week off from the cast. The original plan had been to publish a Goblin Games for the first week of June but with the killing of George Floyd and the protests and unrest the host decided to wait. Both Alex and Hobbes live in Minneapolis and this definitely hit close to home.

As such the Gobbos are back with a Patreon Inspired Goblin Games (courtesy of Titus Lunter). However, prior to jumping into the episode the hosts both share a personal message about Black Lives Matter (with a link to where you can offer support both monetary and not) and the general stance of the cast when it comes to social issues.

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast. This is our final episode for #MentalHealthAwareness Month! Hobbes and Alex decided to tackle a heavy topic with Stigma and what better way to do this than to revisit one of our favorite Goblins (Slobad). This episode looks at Slobad and Glissa's stories from a new lens than what we did way back in Episode 19! Stigma is a set of beliefs that are held about a particular group (or can be internalized to the point that people believe them about themselves). It is one of the biggest barriers for seeking care. So join us as we finish out the Month of May.

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast. Today we have a solo episode with HobbesQ discussing Mental Health Recovery and Asking for Help. We had originally planned to discuss Stigma this week but that topic ended up being bigger than our prep time and also fitting for the end of #MentalHealthAwareness Month! Hobbes also tried out his fancy new microphone sound booth and realized that it works... almost too well... his very inhalations could be heard. He apologizes and we have decided not to eat him...

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! For today's episode Hobbes is running solo and somehow barely mentions Bolas at all (and at least it's kind of relevant). Using what we know so far about Angrath, Hobbes discusses what being an MtG Dad means to him and how his relationship with the game has changed in the past 15 months.

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! For today's episode Alex and Hobbes discuss Cognitive Distortions/Common Mistakes in Thinking. We frame this in the context of Davriel's "Entity" which we know little about so far, but is a good analog for the mind. This episode really is all about thinking about thinking. This article is used as the jumping off point for discussion and can be a resource to learn more!

Hello Podwalkers,

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! For today's episode Alex and Hobbes were joined by regular contributor to the cast Chase (aka ManaCurves) to discuss what Social Anxiety is and what is not. This episode is a deeper dive into a topic that has come up across multiple episodes. Today we focus on the fight or flight (or freeze) mechanism that underlies anxiety and we talk about how going to Magic Events can help us learn ways to cope with our Anxiety (yah... this is awkward... we know)! Hope you all enjoy and we plan to follow up in the era of Social Distancing soon!

Hello Podwalkers,

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today's episode focuses on Goblins in Magic with a very special guest. Wizards's own Gavin Verhey! Brief note, we want to thank Gavin for dealing with technical issues which meant that at times he cut out from Alex and I being able to here him. He was gracious about this and allowed us to still get a great conversation going about both our favorite tribe as well as what Gathering means to him. We know that Gavin embodies that Gathering Spirit as he is an ambassador for our favorite game. Also BONUS (and we hope it isn't too distracting) Baby of the cast Gwen makes some appearances crying in the background...

Hello Podwalkers,

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today's episode focuses on Card Names in Magic. It started out as a Goblin Game episode but as we progressed (with minimal tangents) it was clear this episode needed more time. Alex introduces us to the ways in which Names can function within design space, and also how they are a limited resource that Wizards has to manage. This becomes particularly interesting when we move into the Silver Bordered world! Also Hobbes gets giddy talking about Card Names that are Set Names...

Hello Podwalkers,

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today's episode is a conversation that tangentially relates to what sports might look like in the Magic Multiverse. Guest for this episode is 2 time World Series Champion (San Francisco Giants where he is returning this Spring), 4x All-Star, and Game Shop Owner Hunter Pence (@hunterpence). This is part one as Hunter had a lot to discuss when it comes to this game and his love of the Gathering in particular. Also if anyone is listening, this man needs a box of Original Innistrad.

Because the creepiest thing to think about for Halloween isn't what you can see, but what can see you...

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

In our fifty-sixth episode, Hobbes and Joe tackle the very uncomplicated issue of evil.

Two of your goblin trio take on the nature of evil and good – are they universal or subjective concepts? what are indicators of evil actions? what's the difference between a villain, an antagonist, and an anti-hero? – and sift through some examples in Magic lore of non-Black aligned antagonists and villains, as well as the handful of Black-aligned heroes.

Along the way, we discuss the new Joker movie, the new planeswalker Oko from The Wildered Quest, and much more!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

In our fifty-fifth episode, your favorite goblins discuss the linguistic roots and psychological and sociological purpose of curse words (that's right: cusses and swears) in the Magic: the Gathering Multiverse! Why do we swear? Where do swears come from? How would these "oaths" and "expletives" occur in the Multiverse?

Don't worry; this episode is still PG-rated, but it does reference coarse language, so sensitive elf ears may want to be averted for this one.

Referenced in this episode: Doug Beyer's "Savor the Flavor" column on the topic, this New Republic article, the Dack Fayden comics by IDW.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

In our fifty-fourth episode, your favorite goblins discuss their own personal Magic: the Gathering Color Pie identities and what categorization can (and can't) describe about a person! Do you see your labels as descriptive or prescriptive?

In this episode, we discuss why it's okay to be Black-aligned sometimes, how the Guilds, Clans, and Shards are not the only way the colors can be represented, why opposites really attract, why the color pie and other descriptive methods sometimes fall short, and why our brains really like to put things in neat piles.

In this episode, we discuss some story spoilers (though very minimal), the Pinkerton Detective Agency, labor strikes, Jace Beleren is a cop, "big bad" vs. "rogues' gallery", DC Comics' Legion of Doom and Justice League, radical rebellion, and corporate greed. It's an action-packed follow-up to our episode on closing story space!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

In our forty-ninth episode, Alex and Joe discuss a goblin character not yet physically seen in Magic: the Gathering lore – Krark, of the Mirrodin goblins – and the clan he founded and inspired. This clan of goblins was the one that adopted Slobad when he was found cast out into the wilderness, but they are superstitious and irrational...

Much like the Gambler's Fallacy in the real world! The two pick apart the little we know of this mysterious goblin tribe, the card Krark's Thumb, and how both of these are a good lens for viewing the "hot hand" or "evening out" probability theory of the Gambler's Fallacy in the real world.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

cw, tw: suicide, suicidal thoughts, depression

In our forty-eighth episode, psychologist-in-training Chase (@manacurves on Twitter) wraps up our discussion on how Magic: the Gathering has handled suicide and suicidal thoughts in its stories – from Gideon Jura, to Chandra Nalaar, to the Primeval dragon Darigaaz. In an article on our website, too, we have explored some of these concepts and how they were handled in War of the Spark.

This is a sensitive topic that is extremely important to the members of the cast, and we feel like it's necessary to examine the depictions of these mental health crises in popular media. We hope this episode can be educational for those who have not experienced these thoughts and feelings, and comfort and a resource for those who have.

If you’re thinking about suicide or just need someone to talk to right now, you can get support from any of the resources below (thank you to author Anna Borges for compiling this list).

  • National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255)
  • Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741-741
  • International suicide hotlines: A comprehensive resource list for people outside the US.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast!

In our forty-fifth episode, the goblin crew opens up their mailbag for YOUR QUESTIONS with Australian artist (now in Germany) Adam Paquette (@AdamPaquette)! Make sure you check out the beginning to the mailbag in last week's show.

Adam answers the important questions in this one, like how he worked on improving his artistic craft, what reprint he would request a commission of if he could, what MTG tribe and guild are his favorite, and how long he's grown a beard for.

A reminder that you can support Adam's incredible, inquisitive artistic work by buying a print, by following along with his Magic journey online, and especially by following his personal work on Instagram (@adampaquette).

Adam details his personal art – currently exploring the Berlin nightlife and its club culture, which does not allow photography – and discusses how he was once bullied into drinking black coffee but why he never went back.
