Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! In addition to bringing you part 2 of our Discussion on Psychographics and Personality we also have a giveaway! This giveaway is different than a lot of the ones we have done before. We are joined by Chris (aka Harmless Offering) who has a new project working at getting decks into players hands. He created a special flavorful Goblin Deck and you'll have to listen to the intro to find out more!

 

After the intro Hobbes and Alex finish their discussion on Psychographics and Aesthetics when it comes to Magic Players before moving into the real world topic of Personality Characteristics. This includes looking more at both Psychographics and Personality Characteristics as dimensions along a spectrum rather than a categorical approach. Today's episode again mentions a lot of works previously done especially by Mark Rosewater so we are including links to these .
