Rare Slot — 13 — TCGs & Environmental Sustainability with Andrew Navaro ( Earthborne Rangers creator / former-FFG Head-of-Studio)

07/13/22 • 110 min

[[ Originally released as "TBP: Rare Slot" — a Bonus Episode of the former "The Booster Pack Podcast" ]]
On this RARE SLOT episode of The Booster Pack podcast, Rands is joined by a veteran of hobby card game creation—Andrew Navaro.
For over 15 years Andrew worked with Fantasy Flight Games to produce several hobby card games inc. Android: Netrunner, Call of Cthulhu CCG/LCG, Game of Thrones CCG/LCG & many more.
However, at the start of 2020, Andrew founded Earthborne Games to design, produce & publish a card game of his very own: Earthborne Rangers.
Not only is Earthborne Rangers a unique game mechanically (PvE, Co-operative, open-world), it is also unique in the way it's being produced: As environmentally sustainably as possible.
During this extra-long episode, Andrew leverages his years of experience producing games to help us better understand what choices TCG / CCG publishers & players can make so this hobby can be produced in a less-wasteful manner.

Booster Pack Throwback — 25 — Steven E. Schend on the Blood Wars CCG, TSR, WotC & more

[[ Originally released as "The Booster Pack". This show has since been retitled "Booster Pack Throwback" ]]
On this episode Rands is joined by lauded Dungeons & Dragon's author & worldbuilder Steven E. Schend. Steven's time in collectible trading card games was short but impactful—he designed the Blood Wars CCG in 1995 at TSR.
However, Steven's history with tabletop gaming runs a lot deeper! He & Rands discuss his long history with D&D & how he went from editing RPG books to creating his own CCG.
Steven also tells a very unique story about one of the most intriguing chapters of hobby gaming history—the purchase of D&D publisher TSR by Wizards of the Coast.
