Hello Podwalkers,
Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast!
May was Mental Health Awareness Month and the plan was for all the episodes the month to relate to important topics within mental health. We also participated (along with other excellent creators) in #MentalHealthMtG and attempting to raise money for mental health organizations! A big part of that was a our own giveaway!! Thank you to Taya for adding a whole second deck, Ursa for an altered card, Ewan for tokens, and Jeff Laubenstein for signed art prints! Whew that was lot!
Today we did the giveaway, talk about where we were last week, where we’re going coming up and then about the Four Clown Throw Down for the Trevor Project!! In this the Goblin Lore’s own Krarkashima will be taking on some other creators (The Monarch Mountie; The Chainguin; Big Papa Jank) in an epic show down of epic proportions. Seriously though go watch the video…and then come out and support The Trevor Project this Saturday! Yes there are prizes again!!
