Episode 87: Dom (@XMarksTheLore)

Welcome back to the Inkwell Lounge! Come sit a while, relax, and enjoy getting the know the Disney Lorcana community. Three dads, nine kids (and counting), and one shared obsession: Welcome back to the Inkwell Lounge! In this episode the  @DuckTaleDads  join me to talk about how a group of college friends ended up hooked on Disney Lorcana and turned their weekly catch-up calls into a podcast. We get into what it's really like to balance late-night bedtimes and family life with weekly leagues and set champs. Along the way we also talk about what makes the Lorcana community so welcoming, why thematic decks are finally competitive, and which Hyperia City cards they want to build around.

Get your free guide here! http://cc.inkwelllounge.comI've been working on a project lately that I'd like to share with the community and get their feedback. I've been creating content for Disney Lorcana for almost 3 years now and have had chats with community members for almost 90 episodes now, including lots of other content creators.There's been so much valuable insight from them and some of my own experience that I wanted to share that back with the community as something actionable they could use to either get started creating or improve what they're already doing.So, as a teaser and to gather the interest level, I put together a free "starter kit" to help get the ball rolling.

In this week's community interview I was fortunate enough to have (almost) all of the Rules of Villainy podcast crew to talk about their CCQ coming up next week - The Cauldron Cup! We talked all about how the event started, the roles of each person on the team, the moment they found out it qualified for being a CCQ, and all of the work that goes in behind the scenes to make it work.You can find out more about the Cauldron Cup happening October 9th through 11th in Fairview Heights, Illinois on the event's website at https://thecauldroncup.com.You can find the Rules of Villainy podcast at:- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RulesofVillainy- Twitter/X: https://x.com/rulesofvillainy- Discord: https://discord.gg/8J62vFcNH9- Facebook: https://facebook.com/rulesofvillainy- Instagram: https://instagram.com/rulesofvillainy- Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Ih1fSWA3ElSI4lVldiD1y

In this week's community interview, I talked with another Disney Lorcana content creator who - while being somewhat new - is already exploding on to the scene in a big way. This week I talked with Josh, one of the main people behind the Lorcana Crew. We talked all about his own experiences with the game, how he's evolved as a content creator even in just the short time he's been active, and even looked forward to Hyperia City a bit.

In this week's community interview, I sat down to talk with Dom, probably known better on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube as "@XMarksTheLore". We talk some about both his short form and long form content, what it's like trying to bridge the gap, and his big goal right now of being a caster, maybe even at the DLC level someday.
