[[ Formally titled The Booster Pack: Rare Slot ]]
On this first standalone Rare Slot episode, Rands sits down with gaming historian & author Ben Riggs.
Ben shares his perspective on how TCGs changed the tabletop hobby landscape after their arrival in 1993. Specifically we discuss what happened to the then-most popular genre of gaming—Roleplaying Games—as collectible games began to take hold of the industry.
We also discuss how Wizards of the Coast, the first-ever publisher of TCGs, became the heir to the biggest legacy brand in hobby roleplaying—Dungeons & Dragons.
