Beyond the Multiverse 4: Warhammer 40k Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

We sent a message out through the galaxy and our psionic trail has lead Ethan Fleischer, designer for Magic: the Gathering and long-time fan of Warhammer 40k, to our podcast. But we're not hear to discuss power-levels, color identity, or card designs. We need to take in all the lore possible to learn about the world of Warhammer, before the Tyranids absorb our biomass.
