Welcome to a new, sporadically released bonus feature we're launching: Beyond the Multiverse. These extra episodes will bring on guests to talk about the lore for IPs outside of Magic: The Gathering. Michael Yichao, narrative designer at Riot, joins us in our debut to talk all about the lore of Runeterra, the world behind League of Legends, Legends of Runeterra, and more games in the future. All our pledges at www.patreon.com/thevorthoscast for June will be donated to the Marsha P. Johnson Institute to support black trans communities across the US. We encourage you to donate directly here: https://marshap.org/donate/ We talk about a few Runeterra lore resources in this episode, so have links for some of that stuff!

The Finisher Begun, the streaming wars have. AppleTV launched earlier this month, Disney+ launched this week, and just a few hours later Netflix and Nickelodeon announced that they’d be jägering together to help fight against the new dogs on the block too. And Magic had their own entertainment debut this week too, albeit much worse than any of the streamer services, with the release of War for the Spark: Forsaken. Now, Magic: The Gathering is a big brand with gravitas and clout. So it’s a good feather in a streaming services’ cap. So tell me: what would you produce using MTG’s vast variety of fabulous characters and storylines to try to compete in the Stream Wars?
So much talent in this episode, I can't even. Yichao is a comic, improvisor, and writer of Riot Games' League of Legends. Amanda is a comic, story teller, and instructor of digital media studies. Amanda shares about the time we met Dan Fogler, her interesting Keith Olberman crush while Yichao shares his path following his passion and turning it into a career. Caution, this episode contains extreme laughter.
