Show Notes

Our midseason finale featured a Smash Up matchup between two players who had never faced each other before. We are resuming our season with a matchup that is quite the opposite. 

Ben and Jacob Ganser each come into this match looking to improve their win percentage. They are each also pulling at least one faction from the original base set for Smash Up. Ben is unleashing an army of the undead, with an old favorite in Smash Up lore, the Zombies. He’ll also keep up the undead theme by pairing them with a faction that historically has good synergy with them, the Ghosts. Jacob’s faction from the base set it the Tricksters, another staple known for its disruption of other players and their decks. To get more power on the table to try to deal with Ben’s swarming minions, Jacob has called in the Superheroes. This faction features four minions with five power each. Will it be enough? 

Ghosts & Zombies vs. Superheroes & Tricksters. Ben vs. Jacob. Old friends renew a rivalry as the second half of our first season begins today!

What is Storytelling Breakdown?

Storytelling Breakdown is a podcast deep dive into the way our favorite films, shows, books, games, and more reach us in all sorts of ways. Hosts Ben Clemmer and Caleb Meyer bring you a pop culture audio adventure recorded in Fort Wayne, Indiana. From the terrifying resonance of an eighty year old clown to the entire life of Caesar, from the cutting edge animation of an entire Spider-Verse to a card game from the late nineties that’s so Star Wars it hurts, and from the indelible mark of one of comics’ most creative writers to a museum dedicated to superheroes of all ages, Storytelling Breakdown is place where we can explore everything we love about the stories that make us who we are.

Storytelling Breakdown is recorded in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in association with Wayneshout Productions, LLC. Original music by Kurt Roembke. Artwork by Daniel Church.
