One of our most exciting episodes yet, this week we're talking with Jeff Gomez, CEO of Starlight Runner Entertainment, and one of the most influential writers of early Magic lore. Jared Carthalion, the Shard of Twelve Worlds, Tevesh Szat, and more: all iconic elements of Magic lore as important today as they were almost 30 years ago, and all brought to us by Jeff Gomez.

We also talk, briefly, about the side story "The Education of Ulf" by Brian Evenson, which features Jared Carthalion and Geyadrone Dihada, both first seen in the Armada comics line,
