@GM_Ray Can't offer any first hand advice, but I can relay something I heard about starting a podcast a while ago: Focus on your content first. Make sure it's something you'll have fun doing, either for the long run, or for a set period.

Less useful part of podcast advice was a microphone you already have (phone, webcam) and Audacity were enough to get started with test recordings and getting the hang of editing, as a sort of "session zero", to see how well you liked it and were comfortable keeping it up before investing time/money/effort into pro stuff. Might be something analogous to streaming with a phone or webcam by rigging up a makeshift stand? I've no experience in that regard.

If you peter out halfway through your second episode, for instance, you've lost nothing but a bit of time, and can look for something else to scratch that itch. Best case scenario, you've got some awkward first steps recorded that you can offer as patreon rewards later.

Good luck!

@the_gneech I had a bad experience a couple times running a published campaign setting with a player who Um Actually'd me a few times on how the world worked and who the people were, because I was just running a module and winging it and he had read all 87 novels published for it

I know it's illogical to carry that forward all these years but I'd still like my own setting that I have at least as much knowledge of as the players

@MTG3K I think it means that, with a larger card pool, they're more more likely to print more niche tools that help support a broad color pair (or trio) archetype without making them feel absolutely useless once the main source of that archetype rotated out, rather than just generic goodstuff being the main deck type and maybe taking advantage of a draft archetype if it's accidentally too powerful

I don't really follow Standard though
