Lords of the Dungeon 92: Overcoming Being Uninspired

Hear ye, noble Cabalists, and gather close for another telling of Lords of the Dungeon! There's only a few days remaining on our 2025 fundraiser and we could really use your help! Jump over to Kickstarter and support the Cabal in 2026. In this eve’s council, the Lords speak of reviving the clash of steel and the dance of strategy upon the field of battle. And when that tale is told, they turn their minds to a thornier matter: how a wanderer might kindle inspiration within a realm or saga that stirs not their heart. Join us, friends, and let the stories begin. Support the Cabal on Kickstarter now! https://www.thesecretcabal.com/kickstarter

Covenant

You gotta read the fine print, always. Anyone dealing with a supernatural entity--whether a djinn or deity, gremlin or god--has to be conscious of the exceptions. It's simple enough--if the wizard handing you a fantastical creature tells you not to feed it, you just don't feed it. Similarly, if someone promises not to kill you *in a certain way*, MacBeth can tell you that's more of a threat than a guarantee.

Bonus Episode: The Resurgence of TCGs

We got into the tabletop hobby through TCGs (trading card games). For ten years we invested and played many card games. But when the TCG bubble popped, we got out.

However, in the past 5 years, there has a resurgence in TCGs with an influx of new cards games.

To discuss they reasons of why this happening and where will it end up, we have two special guests. Dan Green of Main Deck Games and the owner of To The Table Game Store, Mike Benson.
