sinister motives

Welcome to Issue 177 of Sinister Pawn Stars, a podcast about Marvel Champions, a Living Card Game by Fantasy Flight Games.

“Though we are a benevolent species, there is no literature on my home planet. And though it is our goal to make the universe better, we create no art, no music, no culture. At least, not as other civilizations would understand it. All we have are our hosts -- the beings we join with -- to forge through the cold and unforgiving cosmos with. The bond between a Symbiote and its host is sacred. They give our lives context and our existence meaning. They give us history. All we have are our hosts to tell us who we are.” - Venom Symbiote
