Dual’s & (Mana) Dorks - a D&D and MTG podcast

Bigby Presents: Glory of A.I. Art?!

It was not even two weeks ago that we were talking about the applications of A.I. for Dungeons and Dragons, and not two weeks later, A.I. controversy! A D&D artist using A.I. to "enhance" their work for Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants. We also have to talk about our trip to GenCon 2023, the news and crazy events of that convention, Baldurs Gate 3 reception, the newly announced slate of releases for Magic the Gathering, the Daggerheart RPG system from Critical Role, and so much more!

A.I. Dungeon Masters are coming, and you can’t stop it

Hasbro has just partnered with Artificial Intelligence company Xplored, and A.I. Dungeon Masters are going to be in our future... How bad could it be? The Dungeon Bros discuss the positives and negatives of A.I. for D&D, discuss previewed cards for the Doctor Who Magic the Gathering commander decks, Anime-art reprints in Wilds of Eldraine, a possible future where Dungeons & Dragons movie 2 exisits, and some last minute info for Baldur's Gate 3!

Bigby Presents: Nothing Worthwhile...

Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants is getting first looks and the Sliver Swarm Precon deck has been revealed! Both to a very resounding... thud... The prices are high, the quality is questionable, and the releases are too frequent; oh my! Also, Critical Role is wiping Brian W. Foster from all of their content after abuse allegations towards his former partner and CR cast member Ashley Johnson... y'know, to lighten the mood...

We finally have the One D&D Monk!

The Dungeon Bros take a look at the new One Dnd playtest material going over the Monk class as well as some other newly refined
options for subclasses for the Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Druid, and Bard. Stick with us as we go slightly insane while we pick
apart these updates to favorite Dungeons and Dragons options.

 

TSR has only $621 to their name?!?

The controversial return of TSR seems to have finally come to an end, as they have filed for chapter 7 BANKRUPTCY after only having $621 in revenue for 2023 so far! Economists are saying that the TTRPG industry is going to DOUBLE in value by 2028, There is a new D&D cookbook, a Secret Zelda TTRPG, and Dimension 20 is going DRAG!

Tales of Middle Earth cards are AMAZING

Please allow us to gush about the amazing Magic the Gathering set spoilers for Lord of the Rings Tales of Middle Earth! We go over some of our favorite cards from this upcoming set, talk about leaks for the bonus Lord of the Rings x MTG set in November, Pathfinder 2e Remastered removing the Drow, and the Critical Role RPG systems for Daggerheart and Candela Obscura

D&D Book Price Increases!?

Wizards of the Coast LOVES hiding bad news inside of announcements, and this is no different. We get the full titles and release dates for the remaining book releases ahead of One D&D's release, and of course they have to sneak in a price increase announcement to.... $60-70?!?! Yikes...

The BIGGEST One D&D Update yet!

So Wizards of the Coast dropped their biggest Unearthed Arcana EVER with the 50 page One D&D players handbook playtest 5. There are weapon updates, new feats, new spells, and a whopping 5 player classes to cover with the Barbarian, Fighter, Sorcerer, Warlock, and Wizard! Plus Magic Con Minneapolis dropped some cool news for Magic the Gathering!

Upcoming One D&D playtest and MASSIVE MtG Leaks!

So Wizards of the Coast clearly hates us and always drops these Playtests the SAME DAY WE POST THE PODCAST! *Sigh* Thankfully we can talk about their preview video and what we hope to see, as well as cover all the other crazy news! Including a MASSIVE MtG leak for March of the Machine Aftermath and how WotC sent a... questionable group of people to seize all the erroneously released product!
