    Found this from the War of the Spark: Ravnica book review. I can say with 100% certainty that the narrative present in this audio is equivalent to the stellar quality I've come to expect from audiobooks on the level of Timothy Zahn. Will definitely be looking forward to more of this!

    @baadThe Před 8 lety +12

    In my opinion this is near perfect, presenting the story in such a way is truly amazing.
    I just personally feel that the sound effects detracts from the experience, filling a role that is not needed, the narrator and actors do a good enough job to paint the picture needed to immerse yourself.

    • @TolarianCommunityCollege

      @baadThe Před 8 lety +1

      And I can't wait for episode 2-them all. If the majority enjoys the sound effects and what they bring of course they should stay, it is not enough of a detraction to keep me away!

    • @johnathonsmithard7938
      @johnathonsmithard7938 Před 8 lety

      I actually like the use of sound effects, because they add a "we're doing a radio play" feel that you can't really avoid when using different voice actors, but I think the volume on them should be a bit lower and they shouldn't be so prominent.

    • @do0m819
      @do0m819 Před 8 lety

      I think the squishy sound was over used but otherwise the SFX are a good addition.

    I'm only 3 minutes in and I already love it. The narrator is really calming, and the art is so beautiful. Tbh, one of the reasons I love Magic is the art. It's what drew me into the game. I love opening my new cards and diving into the artwork. I study each card, and I feel like the art is a really amazing explanation for the card's abilities. The little details are so beautiful. If I may, I'd like to recommend my favorite Community College makes a video about the art (I've just barely scraped the surface of this channel, so if you have already addressed the art, please pardon my request).
    I love your videos Tolarian Community College! Keep up the AMAZING work!!!

  • @AshDarkfireVideos
    @AshDarkfireVideos Před 8 lety

    LOVE the immersive feel of how the story was presented as a whole. this kind of feeling and ability to truly transport the listener into the plain and follow the story of this chapter of the MTG universe is something wizards really should pay attention to more and get behind perhaps. Should this quality of production continue, i see greatness in this series for sure.

  • @i_survived_raccooncity

    Found this today. I really liked the Shadows over Innistrad storys and read all of them when they came out. Since then I wanted to have Halana and Alena as Legendary Creatures to build a EDH deck around them. I am so happy they printed them in Commander Legends. Today they're at the helm of my EDH deck and I learned to love Gruul through them. ^^
    This recording has an magnificent quality. I didn't know you had this on your channel Professor. Thank you!

  • @Retrophy
    @Retrophy Před 8 lety +3

    Wow! This was great, I definitely need more of those!
    Believe it or not, I was searching for magic audiobooks today on youtube and didn´t find any.
    Then I got the notification of a new Tolarian Video and here it was! The timing couldn´t have been better.
    Beeing a big fan of Audiobooks and OldTimeRadio plays, this is perfect for me and my reignited love for magic!
    Big props and thanks to everyone involved!

  • @virginiareeves2087
    @virginiareeves2087 Před 8 lety

    Shaun - I am so glad you hooked up with the Professor to add this very valuable visual element. As you know, I'm not into Magic but I do like good story-telling and this enhanced the audio only version so much. Anyone liking the genre can appreciate it without playing the game. This should increase your exposure and hopefully gain more sponsors to create more stories. Great job to both of you.

  • @shashankwarudkar6705
    @shashankwarudkar6705 Před 8 lety +1

    I absolutely love this. I've been playing Magic for over 14 years, which I know isn't really all that long, but the only reason I have kept coming back to the game is because of the story. I feel like this video is one of the best renditions of the story I have ever heard.

    • @ShaunPenrod
      @ShaunPenrod Před 8 lety

      +Shaun Penrod Hey! After finishing the story I realized this was your content hosted by tolarian academy, I think? Question: if you reach your first patreon goal, how often can patreons(/everyone?) expect new episodes? I'm debating chipping in and frquency of content would be a big factor in making that decision.

    I love this. so much. I work at a job that is a constant grind that does nothing to keep my mind preoccupied, so I almost always keep a podcast going. Usually it's MTG based or politics, and when I heard the first episode on MTG Pro Tutor, it was really refreshing to have something that reflected my interests, but felt so different and well done. I'm really glad you've included it on your channel, and hope it helps to spread the word so we can have more! Many thanks, prof.

    Hey Professor! Your videos are outstanding! I just participated in my first small tournament at my game store. I lost 0/4. But I got 2 Nahiris and in my 1st pack of Fate Reforge I got Ugin! Beginners luck perhaps? :D I don't have the cards to use these yet but I can't wait to draft/play again. Please continue your videos!
