In this episode of Cardboard and Beyond, we gab with Rebecca Stoddard, the de facto queen of Flesh and Blood cosplay. In the “real” world, Rebecca works in banking. Despite having little love for her job, she recognizes it as the thing that facilitates what she really cares about: seeing the world, her hobbies, and the profoundly meaningful relationships she’s found along the way. Rachel also talks about the impact that cosplay and FAB have had on her life. She even clues us in on a costume that she’s been working on for some time but has yet to reveal.

Join Bryce Platz from Arcane Games and Events as he sits down for intimate conversations with the biggest names in the world of the Flesh and Blood Trading Card Game. Bryce will talk with the people that make FAB the profound game and community that it is. From content creators, professional players, developers and beyond, he'll run the gamut. Better yet, he will access the humanity of each of his guests in order to honor the three-dimensional people that they are, despite their passion for a game with two-dimensional pieces.

With a background in computer science, a strategic mind sharpened by the game of Go, and a love for street art, Joshua brings a unique lens to the world of Flesh and Blood. We explore his journey into games, his carefully curated “boring” social media presence, and how all of it informs the way he approaches the rules that shape the game.Bryce and Joshua dive into the philosophy of policy, unpack some of the most notable rules updates in recent months, and even run through a live proofing session—where Joshua puts fictional card designs through the rigorous lens of the game’s framework.It’s a thoughtful look at the person behind the policy—and the principles that keep Flesh and Blood running smoothly.Joshua Scott Links:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jjscott.nz

In the debut episode of Cardboard and Beyond, we sit down with Yuki Lee Bender—an accomplished Flesh and Blood player, dedicated teacher, and lover of all things snowy. We explore her path into card games, how skiing helps her reset, and the analytical mindset she brings to deckbuilding. Bryce and Yuki explore how curiosity, preparation, and discipline allow her to succeed where others are so uncomfortable: a brand new meta. Yuki shares how she embraces the uncertainty that comes with a blank canvas and turns it into an edge.
