This isn't your average trading card game; it's a portal to the world of Daer Lurra, where your victories the write history of a country named Mydista, and the characters you champion become the heroes of an ever-unfolding saga. Discover the six powerful factions locked in a dance of dominance and diplomacy, and become part of a story that transcends the table.

We spoke about the civil war and the factions & Adventures fighting for supremacy of a once untied Kingdom. Most uniquely, Max intends on hosting annual tournaments that not only will host the premiere players of each faction, but pt them against each other to decide the fate of Mydista. That’s right, the audience will decide major battle victories, who lives and dies, and ultimately the victor of the civil war!

The Player & the Pentacle is a book about Narrative Design and interactive storytelling, and how allowing greater levels of agency in your stories allows for your audience to get lost through collectivism and empathy.

We dove deep into folklore and the concept of "folkloresque", the difference between a folktale, myth, and legend, and the concept of the magic circle.

It’s an educational, motivating, fantastic conversation!
