I've been a fan since I first discovered it a couple months ago. I've been catching up ever since. LotR is my first ever card game and if it wasn't for this podcast I'd still be pretty overwhelmed by it all. Listening to you guys discussing each card has been invaluable in my learning how to look for synergies, play combos and what to include in a deck build.

You know what I'd love though? A newbie section. A 5-10 minute portion of each episode where you guys explain and discuss core concepts in card games. Like draw advantage. What is it? How is it useful? Which spheres lend themselves to strong card draw? Which cards are good for card draw techniques? A lot of these concepts I've had to find out for myself and hearing you guys go over each concept supplemented by examples of how you'd build and play your decks would be awesome.

Can I offer one critique? Give Andrew some ADHD medicine before each show. There's no doubt he's clever but he's Mr Tangent the flow-breaker at times. You can tell when he starts to get bored because he starts to crack the jokes. Most of them are funny, but they can be pretty interruptive.

Apart from that, two thumbs from me. Keep up the great work, guys.

I think that's a great idea, Xib. I started the exact same way with the podcast and the game. My only real experience beyond LOTR was the Xbox versions of Magic The Gathering, which I primarily picked up just to finally learn the dang game.

I'll bring your suggestion to Brandon. I know we're looking for good discussion materials for future recordings, and I think this is a great way to start. Please feel free to bring up more ideas and suggestions for items we can talk about!

I co-host, mix, and edit Cardboard of the Rings. I'm the one you probably think doesn't know any of the rules. But joke's on you; I just don't care about the rules!

Downloading it now. I haven't listened to all the episodes just yet (they're all downloaded), but I'm working on it. Hopefully the cat makes a quest appearance in this episode.

I caught up on the last few episodes while traveling the last few weeks. Unfortunately, I was traveling in a noisy motorhome, and it pointed up the problem I've mentioned before; Andrew is too quiet. He might as well have not even been there much of the time, because I couldn't hear or understand him. Please tell him to SPEAK UP and not sort of mumble and almost whisper like he does a lot. PROJECT! And Brandon should still be closer to his mic source, but at least the tone and delivery of his voice cuts through enough, unlike Andrew.

Great content and interaction on the podcast, but it's a shame if everyone can't be heard well.

Card Lords! Before you log into Diablo III to grind some levels or farm some sweet gear alongside Mitch, Brandon or Jared (or, ya know, do something actually meaningful with your life), why not give the latest episode of COTR a listen??? It's Episode 26 - The Devil Made Me Do It!

For better or worse, Cardboard of the Rings has made their YouTube debut!

Is the youtube format replacing the regular podcast, or are you going to be doing both now?
