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

MTG x Marvel Crossover?!?! What about Lorcana???

MASSIVE crossover announcement from Wizards of the Coast! Magic the Gathering and Marvel will be releasing multiple products and SETS starting in 2025, a proposition we thought not possible given Disney's newest TCG Lorcana having released earlier this year! What are the implications of this newest MTG Universes Beyond project? The elemination of Set and Draft boosters in favor of the new "Play Booster". D&D's next product is actually EXPANDING the Deck of Many things. And as is always the case, we have some MTG set spoilers. This time for Universes Beyond Fallout!

One D&D’s Bastion system is a game changer!

One D&D has dropped a brand new playtest! This time for the Dungeon Masters Guide. We dive into the new Bastion system for making fortresses and bases, and compare it to the popular MCDM Fortresses and Followers 3rd party supplement. We also have gone through a wave of Rebranding!!! and will it a new wave of psychosis has found us....

Phandelver and Below is actually great!

We celebrate an amazing milestone for the podcast... 50 Episodes! Don't worry, we are still the same dummies we've always been.

This week we discuss the highly reviewed Phandelver and Below, the Shattered Obelisk, with some light spoilers (we make it clear when we start talking spoilers). Magic Con Vegas 2023 previews for the fall Lord of the Rings Tales of Middle Earth holiday edition release, the Lost Caverns of Ixalan with Jurassic park cards, and the exciting Ravnica Remastered, with all of the valuable reprints we will be getting!!!

Then we wrap up with Minecrafts D&D DLC, the 3rd party 5e setting Obojima (a studio Ghibli inspired setting), and answer questions, comments, concerns, thoughts, and ideas, from the audience!

One D&D might be good now?

The newest One D&D playtest 7 is a rehash of the Barbarian, Fighter, Sorcere, Warlock, and Wizard from the 5th playtest, but updated with feedback and lots of stuff reverted back to thee 2014 players handbook state. We honestly think it's looking REALLY good now!

Wilds of Eldraine is upon us!

We are one week from the release of the newest Magic the Gathering set, the Wilds of Eldraine! Love some fairytale creatures, love enchantments, but most of all we LOVE an MTG set that is AFFORDABLE!!! We also preview Phandelver & Below, the Shattered Obelisk, Fall Secret Lair Super Drops, and D&D Whiskey from Matthew Lilliard?!?

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!
