Critical Encounters - A Marvel Champions Podcast

Vardaen, bigfomlof and WanderingTook

Critical Encounters is a podcast about Marvel Champions, a Living Card Game by Fantasy Flight Games. Here we take a good look at that most critical piece of the game, the Encounter Sets. We’ll discuss those poorly understood characters, unfairly labeled Villains, and their various plans to shape humanity and benefit the planet, as well as those so-called heroes intent on thwarting them.

  • It only took 200 episodes for their true colors to be exposed!

    For 199 episodes, I listened to this villainous podcast. Supposedly, Daniel, Mike, and Steve help you to better appreciate the villains and modular sets in FFG’s Marvel Champions LCG. But in episode 200.1, their true colors were exposed! I heard praise of HEROES! I was sickened to hear these hosts praising characters like Black Widow, sp//DR, and Nebula. What next, IRON MAN??? How far the mighty have fallen! more

  • Congratulations on 200 episodes

    Not only the best Marvel Champions podcast but the best podcast for any of the LCGs. I genuinely don’t know how you guys manage to do so much high concept, scripted comedy with the relentless weekly release schedule that you keep. I really appreciate your continued enthusiasm for MC, and I’ll stick around and keep listening “while” you guys keep making new episodes. more

  • If these guys are villains I guess I’m bad

    I’ll admit when I first started playing this game I tried listening to this podcast and couldn’t get into it. I liked the game a lot but didn’t care too much about the backstories for the villains. After playing the game for a few years now though I have gone deep into the marvel universe and came back to this show. I’m listening from the beginning and I have to say this is the best marvel champions podcast out there. The hosts all genuinely seem to enjoy talking to each other and are effortless... more

  • Evil deeds beget excellent podcasts!

    Good (or should I say bad?) work on the pod. Love the interaction you all have with each other. The chemistry really shines, and I love the focus on the part of the game most people tend to overlook.
