The dorks return to take their first (and possibly only) look at Edge of Eternities! Because of real life we haven't actually seen terribly much of the set, so a lot of this will be our first reactions to some of the more spicy cards that Twitch chat suggested.

At the end, Mike & Chewie sorta forgot they hadn't ended the episode and moved to the Odds & Ends, so you get a good amount of Baldur's Gate 3/D&D talk. And we're not sorry!

With Brian still on a boat, the remaining dorks return to just talk about whatever comes to mind! We touch on the recent celebrity deaths before heading into video games we've been playing lately. We spend a fair amount of time on Baldur's Gate 3 since two of us have been playing it (and it's really freakin' good). We complain about Windows 11 hardware requirements too, because that's capitalist nonsense.

From there we wander for a while, hitting Stranger Things, being inundated with Star Wars & Star Trek shows, really bad scenes in otherwise not horrible films, and Brussels sprouts. We end the episode by circling back to Baldur's Gate, discussing getting old, and some random DoorDash nonsense.

The dorks are looking back at their years of playing video games and choosing some of their favorite weapons to share! Sometimes it's for the wow factor, sometimes it taught a valuable lesson, sometimes it's just iconic, and sometimes it's so silly that it is permanently memorable. What are some of your favorite weapons in games, and why?

The dorks couldn't settle on a topic for this week, so we turned to our Discord community of Pooligans for some ideas! We're answering three excellent questions on this episode, ranging from relatively simple to "gaining a deeper understanding of how the dorks' minds work" so we hope you enjoy! Thanks to chfuji and Violet Moon for the questions!

If you have any questions or topics you'd like the dorks to tackle in the future, be sure to let us know! I've finally started a list of all the ideas and topics and suggestions and we'll be pulling from it whenever we can.

Most of the dorks are back! This week we're talking about world events that happen every four years...for some reason? Then Chewie talks about taking two teenagers, one of whom had not ridden a roller coaster, to Carowinds to ride roller coasters! After all of that of course we have to talk about the Final Fantasy Prerelease because ALL OF US WENT! Dirk & Mike talk about their decks, while Chewie takes over talking about how Brian & Sam did. Great fun was had by all. From there, Chewie goes into why he's less interested in Magic these days, but how thinking critically about it for all those years has stirred a deep interest in how elements of game design come together in all the games he plays. Then we devolve into the usual nonsense, like GYATT and D&D and Skyrim and how there weren't any good Jasons back in the day.

The dorks are back, bouncing around the Card Image Gallery for the Final Fantasy Universes Beyond set! As usual for UB, we're primarily checking out how well these cards reflect their source material. That's it really, you know the drill.

There's probably one more episode of this coming, so be sure to let us know or come hang out live to let us know cards you want us to be sure we cover!

Now that the full previews have begun, the dorks dive back into card from the upcoming Universes Beyond Final Fantasy set! We're hitting the mechanics as usual, then poking around to check out the main characters of some of the games. As has become our thing with these UB sets, we're going to be taking a look at how the card mechanics reflect the source material they're based on. So strap in, grab your giant sword of choice, and let's take a look!

Originally we were going to make this episode about everything Star Wars other than the movies, but it turns out we spent WAY too much time on the video games. There are SO MANY video games. And we only covered a fraction of them! We'll dive into 2D platformers, 1st and 3rd person action, racing, grand strategy, real time strategy, Virtual reality, flight simulator, and probably more that I'm forgetting! What's your favorite Star Wars video game?

Welcome to Supply Lines, a new running feature here on TMP where the dorks will be looking at resource management in games. What games? All games, because they all have a variety of resources that the player needs to manage to be able to play! To kick it all off, we're starting with the game that we and our audience probably have the most experience with - Magic: the Gathering. We'll sprinkle in some examples from other card games as they come up of course, but MTG is the primary focus of this initial episode.

Be sure to let us know what you think! And please let us know what types of games you want to hear us cover in the future!

In this episode, the dorks will dive into what makes a roguelike a roguelike, with lots of relevant conversations about various aspects of the whole thing. And be sure to let us know your favorite roguelikes and why!

Stay tuned for the end when Mike & Chewie get all caught up in...D&D stuff? Wait what?

The dorks are back! First Chewie recaps Cheevos For Charity 2025, which was a glorious time that raised over $1500 for Trans Lifeline! After that we give Tarkir: DragonStorm the usual treatment. You know, looking at the mechanics and then bouncing around the gallery calling out whatever we like. Don't worry, we'll be back again to check out all the big scary dragons and stuff.

If you've ever been slept, poisoned, charmed, stunned, slowed, or...made an atheist (?) then this episode is for you! The dorks are talking about (as the title says) status effects in games. Of course we spend a lot of time on RPGs, but status effects are common in all kinds of games. We brought up several different action games and card games just to hammer this point home. Let us know what you think!

The dorks couldn't come up with something to talk about this episode, so we asked the Pooligans in our Discord community for some ideas! Mycroft wanted to know if we had anything to say about building toys, from Lego to Gunpla, so we talked about that for a while. Then Pana was curious which cartoons we thought might be good to bring back for another run, sort of like DuckTales or She-Ra or any number of other excellent examples. And we spent WAY too long just talking about old cartoons.

Don't blame us when you have to go look up old cartoon theme songs. Even though it's totally our fault.

The dorks take their first look at the long-awaited Final Fantasy Universes Beyond MTG set! We're all FF dorks to one degree or another, so we're doing like we did with the Lord of the Rings set - taking a look at how the mechanics of the card matches up to the thing it is depicting. Between the four of us we have all the games covered (for the most part) so this should be fun. Find out which commander we think is terribly done, who we think is just boring, who is horribly overrated, and which ones are absolute home runs!

And be sure to let us know what you think too!

No, you're not hallucinating and you haven't fallen into a time portal (unless you're coming from the future, in which case SAVE US!). It's Chewie, Cluze, and Squee, together again! No we're not resurrecting anything, we just wanted to get back together and try desperately to ignore the direction the world is going by talking about whatever nerdy nonsense we've been fooling with lately. We bounced around from a Japanese honorifics lesson because of Yakuza 0 to rambling about the MCU to falling into food shows to discussing all the shows we have and have not finished to the horrors of trying to find a good barber to not taking down holiday decorations...and that's not even everything!

To celebrate the fake retail holiday Valentine's Day (which was the day after we recorded this), the dorks wanted to shift gears away from the negativity of episode 715. So for this episode we're each talking about some things that we love! Not our partners or families or any of that stuff, we mean nerdy nonsense! Movies, games, shows, whatever we want!

So tell us, what are some nerdy things YOU love?

Gamers, amirite? Whether it's opponents across the table, friends next to you, or randos online, eventually they're all going to do something while you're playing that just grinds your gears. The dorks are going to get into all the things that gamers do that annoy them. Not just to vent, but also to help us all recognize that some of our quirks or tics or whatever that we don't pay attention to might just be bothering the hell out of everyone else involved. Remember Rule 2!

We'll be going through each game in order to see how the big bad evolved (or didn't) over time. And don't worry, we'll come back to this again in the future to cover more that we didn't get to!

Apologies for anyone going into excruciating details. We're also taking a look forward at things we're hoping to do or experience in the next year.

We're hitting all the remaining games, which includes the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS Metroidvanias, the PS2 3D games, the Lords of Shadow reboot, and whatever else we missed in the last show. We'll also hit up some of the places Castlevania has popped up in crossovers with other games!

Thanks so much to all of you for sticking with us this year! We hope your holiday season is filled with goodness and that next year is even better!

The dorks are doing something a little different this episode. We're taking a look at the Castlevania franchise as a whole! Castlevania is a franchise that all of us have experience with, and it's just so good! There are SO many games, a Netflix anime series, absolutely stunning music, and lots of crossovers into other games! Of course that's a lot to talk about, so this episode is mainly about the Classicvania games. Look for part 2 soon!

The dorks return! This time we're Just Chatting about all kinds of stuff! First up is our Thanksgiving holidays and food experiences. Then Brian has a question about parenting, which we tangent off of several times. We talk about what scared or bothered us when we were kids, when sex and/or violence are okay to show them, and lots of other stuff. Then Brian disappears, so Chewie talks about all the games he's been playing lately (Tunic, Vampire Survivors, Hitman, Forced Showdown). Then Mike talks about what he's been up to lately and we discuss maintaining our sanity in these trying times. How are you maintaining your sanity these days?

We're mashing stuff up! First up we're looking at the mashup of Marvel & MTG. The first batch of the Marvel cards were revealed at New York Comic Con so of course, we're gonna check them out. Then it's a mashup of our own creation, the good old Magic Mad Lib.

To finish up we're going into one of the most famous mashups in video games! What happens when you smash Disney into Final Fantasy? You get Kingdom Hearts! Chewie & Dirk recently finished the first game, Brian has played it relatively recently, and Mike played it way back in the day. We go into the ups and downs of the first game because why not?

What are you afraid of?

Heh, boilerbilges.

After all this time, the dorks are finally closing the door on the Heirs of Trivester. Did you want a big boss fight? Because we've got a big boss fight!

We started this journey back in 2016, though the seeds were actually planted in 2009. To celebrate, I've gathered up all the episodes from before the show was posted on YouTube, made them into videos, and created a playlist of the whole RPG saga!

The dorks take a look at one of their favorite game genres - Role-Playing Games! We're bouncing around between games that we've loved over the years, both video and tabletop, and talking about why we feel how we do about them. Plus Chewie has to rant about how video game genres are complete nonsense (because they totally are - guess who writes these show notes?)

Tell us about your favorite RPGs!

This was recorded on June 6, but due to a whole lot of life happening, I never got to post it. Sorry about that. But here it is now, so enjoy!

The dorks are back! We're chatting about how the Fallout show is an excellent adaptation and why. There's some talk about Chewie's June streaming plans, which got disrupted by various emergencies and life in general. But it was a good plan that will return! We discuss the Final Fantasy 4 Pixel Remaster, have some nostalgia about Magic tournaments back in the day, and show off a listener-created Episode 700 card. Then we go back to Final Fantasy to reminisce on some memories of the series, touch on the Dragon Quest series, and get sidetracked by...Jedward? Wait, what?

Brian's homebrew MTG RPG continues! After our tribulations in the tunnel, the party finds itself in a large room. Syr, who we've been chasing down this tunnel the entire time, is in a pod of some sort. From here, all sorts of shenanigans ensue. Things get weird before the end. And of course, we end on a serious cliffhanger just to keep everyone invested!

Wait, why do I hear boss music?

The dorks return to the Heirs of Trivester, Brian's original MTG RPG campaign that we've been working on periodically for a very long time. Alaric, Karim, and The Angel are heading through the tunnel underneath the tower. Along the way we're faced with doors labeled with some of the most horrible monstrosities in the multiverse. What could possibly go wrong?

A lot. A lot could (and will) go wrong.

The dorks get together to do a Just Chatting episode! This time we end up discussing mainly, as the title might indicate, media we've been consuming recently. Chewie goes off on the Cane and Rinse Podcast and Doom Eternal, Brian hits X-Men '97 and The Three Body Problem, Dirks talks the Fallout show, and Mike goes back to Dune 2, which he forgot we already talked about. Other things that come up: the new Avatar live-action show, massively famous self-help books, The DaVinci Code, conspiracy theories, an NES emulator on iOS, mobile gaming in general, and how Blizzard failed us all across several games. It was fun.

The dorks return with a random assortment of of nonsense! We begin by making fun of two accents, then introduce ourselves and our hair. After that Chewie makes the big Cheevos For Charity announcement (more on that below). Then we go into a lengthy conversation about other card games we've played throughout the years. That leads into a discussion about power creep in long-running games. Then it's briefly talking about new consoles and nerding out about Dune.

Cheevos For Charity my big charity stream happening March 23 & 24, from Noon to Midnight Eastern time each day. I'm going after randomly chosen achievements while taking donations for Trans Lifeline and giving away Steam games from a list of over 900.

Remember Fallout? You know, the video game series with radiation and Nuka-Cola and Ron Perlman's voice and power armor and Vault Boy? That game series that hasn't had a good game release in almost a decade? Sure you do! And of course, Magic is releasing some Commander Decks for it under the Universes Beyond label!

The dorks are diving into the first batch of reveals from the Fallout decks and focusing, as we do with these UB sets, on how the cards relate back to the source material. Since two of us have lots of experience with the IP, we're gonna be explaining things to the other two. This was a fun one! Be sure to let us know what you think, and how much Fallout you've played!

After that we're taking a look at the Murders at Karlov Manor Commander deck commanders. Then we go back to doing our usual thing where we bounce around and look at whatever catches our eye or whatever Twitch chat directs us to.

Would you choose silence or snitch?

The game is afoot! The dorks are investigating The Murders at Karlov Manor for the first time! We'll be looking at all the usual suspects - the mechanics article and the card image gallery. The mechanics are especially neat this time around. We've got Morph+ and the bizarre lovechild of Quests & Sagas being my two high points. Let us know what you think of the new stuff!

And it's KARLOV Manor. Yeah, we know. Especially Brian.

This is it! The dorks are doing the final pre-Mythic expansion, Eventide, for Mythic Conscription! This was a fun one, as we have a lot of nostalgia for Eventide. There's also a really good discussion about swapping the power level for two hybrid cycles from the previous set. Be sure to let us know what you think!

This is really bizarre to say. We started Mythic Conscription waaaaay back in 2015. We are still going to do something with base/core sets, but absolutely not all of them. But as far as regular expansions go...we're done. It's so weird to not have a list of sets to fall back on.

The dorks kick off 2024 by...looking back at 2023! We're talking about stuff that happened in our lives over the last year. Things we did, places we went, games we played, mice we captured (wait what?), all that good stuff. Along the way we'll get distracted several times, as is our way, and tangent off into whatever other stuff captures our attention for a few minutes.

How was your 2023? However it was, hopefully your 2024 will be even better! Thanks for sticking with us and happy new year!

Alaric, Karim, and the Angel head into the mysterious Tower of Icolnir in an effort to figure out what's happened to its planeswalker owner. What sort of traps will they get caught in? Is Syr to be trusted? Should they open the mysterious giant door?

The dorks are taking a page from MNM this week and covering a variety of Magic topics. Marvel throwing its hat into the Universes Beyond ring, the first Fallout cards, Lost Caverns of Ixalan's mechanics, and WotC's latest way to jack up the prices are all in our sights, so be sure to let us know what you think about any or all of it!

They say there's No Plane Like Home (well, we do) but what about the one known as the Homelands? That's right, we're taking a look at Ulgrotha, that place where Baron Sengir hangs out! It's a plane that hasn't been thought about in a VERY long time except for a few fan service mentions in a Commander set and a (very) small bit in the New Phyrexian Invasion. We'll take a look at the place and see what we think about moving in.

And then we'll finally Brian's Magic Mad Lib that has been burning a hole in his pocket since he wrote it. Yay!

The dorks are all here, and we're taking a look at the near future of Magic! What that really means is we're looking back at the Magic 30 panel that WotC did at GenCon! They announced the next two years' worth of major Magic releases, so we have a LOT of stuff to talk about!

Never mind the various technical difficulties that plagued this episode. Nothing to see here.

The dorks have returned! We're taking our first look at Wilds of Eldraine now that we're all back! We're starting with the mechanics as usual before moving into the new-and-improved-and-obnoxious Card Image Gallery. As always, there's a lot of neat stuff going on in here!

The dorks dive into the first full Universes Beyond set, Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth. As usual we'll go over the mechanics before diving into the card image gallery to poke around and see what we can see. We'll be focusing on the flavor as it relates to the books, because we know them well and LOVE what the designers have done with some of these cards! How do you think they did?

There is a tangent where we have to talk about the backlash to Black Aragorn. Oh yeah, we're going full woke. If Aragorn being black on cards bothers you, just ask yourself why. And be honest.

The dorks give Lorwyn the Mythic Conscription treatment! Lorwyn was the set that was current waaaaay back when we started The Mana Pool, so it's just dripping with nostalgia for us. We have tales about several of these cards and openly admit that it's impossible for us to be neutral about them. And there are the Commands, the Incarnations, and so much other stuff!

And yes, the planeswalkers were a given.

And we've got Squee here with us this week to remind us of the Dungeons & Dragons Open Gaming License shenanigans from just a few months ago. And because we missed him of course.

The dorks dive into the first look at the Lord of the Rings set! As Tolkien fans we range from "very much" to "insanely huge" so we're looking hard at the cards that were revealed as Magic cards but more importantly, as Middle Earth lore! If you've ever been curious about the inner workings of Tolkien or if you just enjoy listening to nerds nerd out then this episode will be great!

The dorks got together to discuss a horrible illness, prerelease experiences, breaking away from a game you've played a long time, and video games in general!

Sorry this was so late, I've been going through a lot in the last couple weeks besides just the sickness.

The dorks return for another look at Phyrexia: All Will Be One! Well, most of us. Apparently compleation wasn't good for poor Brian. But even without him guiding us along, we go through a mess of new cards and have fun goofing off in between them in true TMP fashion.

Hey look, the dorks are back for 2023! And we're starting off the year by leaning into Neverending Preview Season and taking our first look at Phyrexia: All Will Be One. Who's getting compleated by the MTG Borg? You probably know already! But listen anyway because we're checking out the mechanics and then hitting the card image gallery.

Here's to 2023 being better than the last one!

The dorks weather some last-minute technical difficulties to gather together and discuss the Late December Holiday that we all do, Christmas! We're talking favorite traditions, gift-opening, music, and of course Christmas movies! No not Die Hard.

And Chewie gives his explanation about why he claims to hate Christmas.

Sorry this one's a bit late, but life seems to happen a lot around the holidays. Hope everyone enjoyed their Late December Holiday of choice!

Three dorks get together for a random bunch of conversations! Among the discussions are:

Broken phone screens, playing VR again, one ridiculous bad day, making cookies, NDAs, office Christmas parties, where do you want to visit?, things that draw us to media immediately, video game tastes, Rez Infinite, and breaking boxes.

Content warning: Mentions of suicide and child abuse

For this milestone episode we wanted to do something special and different. So we're taking a look at the so-called Satanic Panic that happened back in the 1980s and discussing what caused it, what effects it had, and how it...never actually ended.

This one is drastically different than our usual fare, just so you know.

The dorks return to take another look at The Brothers' War and whatever cards caught our (and Twitch Chat's) eye.

First though, we have to take a quick detour to laugh at Hasbro. Their stock was downgraded by Bank of America because they've been focusing on short term profits over longevity, which is something we've been complaining about for LITERAL YEARS.

The dorks return to take another look at the murky waters that are video game genres! We'll be rattling off a genre, giving some examples of it, and discussing pros and cons of each one. We're hitting less of them this time around because some of the ones we did hit are much bigger this time around. Be sure to tell us what games you love or hate in any given genre!

After the last thoroughly depressing episode of TMP, the dorks return with something hopefully more upbeat. We're talking about hobbies, and how we engage with them! We'll discuss the levels of engagement one can have with a given hobby, like Magic or Star Wars. We'll cover ways to disengage with a hobby when it becomes necessary or wanted. We'll talk about gatekeeping, which is the dark side of fandom.

All this is peppered with our usual personal experiences, tangents, and assorted nonsense of course. I know we missed some aspects of hobbies, but I think we covered the side of things we wanted to. Be sure to let us know about the ways you engage with your hobbies!

The announcement of the 30th Anniversary thing really rubbed Chewie the wrong way, and none of the other dorks understood it either. So here's an episode about WotC's decline into the role of Evil Corporation, with lots of talking points provided by you, the fans!

Sorry we didn't actually get to the positive things we wanted to talk about. But damn WotC, could you just not be so horribly money-grubbing? That would really make things easier on us. Just sayin'.

The dorks get together to discuss some of the pros and cons of the various genres of video games, despite the fact that genres don't actually mean much of anything in video games anymore. We didn't cover them all (not even close) so there will be a part 2 and probably a part 3 in the future!

What are your favorite and least favorite games in the genres we covered this episode? And what genres should we be sure to hit in the next episode?

The dorks are joined by our old buddy Stark Maximum this episode! Why? Because we're doing a No Plane Like Home for The Sword Coast (you know, where Baldur's Gate resides) and we don't know anything about the place. And since Stark is all about D&D, and D&D's primary location these days is the Forgotten Realms, and The Sword Coast is located there...well there it is.

Also we brought up some recent events at the end of the episode. It should be noted this was recorded the day before the US Supreme Court gutted Roe v Wade, or we'd have been a LOT angrier.
