This is a particularly good episode of a great podcast, especially for those "Omnigamers" who play tabletop games and video games. I learned about some deeper cuts that I need to check out. Oh, and I have a copy of Resident Evil the Deck Building Game I'd like to donate to the cause!
Do you like card RPGs? Then you're gonna want to listen to our latest episode of Axe of the Blood God. 🃏
In what I'm retroactively calling "Part 1" we discuss the origins of cards themselves, the roleplay that comes from improvising with the hand you're dealt, and why we love Card-Based Deck-Building RPGs!
