The Magic Behind The Battle Bunnies: YourOpsGuy (Jackberd) Shares His Story

The Battle Bunnies Co-Founder and all-around-great guy, Mike Neubauer, joins us for this episode of the Ultimate Fancast. He is the magic behind the collection and also the Pirate Jackberd from the novel, "The Battle Bunnies and the Unlikely Spartan."

Mike shares his story behind Jackberd and shares a gruesome (yet awesome) discovery on the show about the rabbit's foot his character is holding in his digital collectible. I can't un-see it now the unassuming rabbit's foot Jackberd holds in his right hand.

So, settle in super-fans, this one is a master session innovation and story--especially if you are interested in the world of NFTs and creating on the leading edge with your collection.

From Collectibles to Playables: Experience The Battle Bunnies Digital Art & TCG with Klopping

Bill Klopping, or Klopping, as he is known inside The Battle Bunnies community joins the Ultimate Fancast for a lively discussion about the collectibles, playables, community, and more.

Not only is Bill a master collector, he is also a trading card game play tester who helped shape the development of the TCG, Seither Chronicles (Chapter 1: A New Moon Mystery), which launched on October 10th.

You won't want to miss this truly gracious sport for letting us play a game with him called "Name that Bunny." Brian (me) flustered him with what I did not think was a trick question from the start with King Hareld. Will he get back on track and be triumphant? Or is it in epic fail? Tune in to see how he finishes the game.

Plus, a challenge is issued to fellow community member. Who is it? Will it ever happen?

Such a great show and fun with one of the best, Bill Klopping, inside the Ultimate Fancast.

Definitely check his son's episode too -- Toni Pepperoni (aka Ethan Klopping) coming out soon.

Some of the Key Themes from the Show:

Klopping Gets Involved: Bill shares his journey into the Battle Bunnies community, his interests in NFTs, and his love of The Battle Bunnies over other projects. You'll learn about his initial introduction through friends in another NFT project (BeatHeadz) and how this led to his deep involvement with The Battle Bunnies.

Importance of Community and Engagement: A significant part of our conversation with Bill really revolves around the community aspect of The Battle Bunnies. We discuss with Klopping his attraction to the sense of camaraderie, support, and engagement within the community. We highlight how members help each other, participate in games and activities, and create a welcoming environment for all, regardless of how someone is involved in The Battle Bunnies.

Personal Experiences and Stories: We share personal anecdotes about our experiences with The Battle Bunnies. You'll learn about our first NFT purchases, interactions with other community members, and participation in IRL events (like Richmond where the Seither Chronicles launched) and the trading card game (TCG) play on Tuesdays and Thursday nights. We go deep with Bill, showcasing the human element behind NFT trading, game play, and collecting--Ultimate Fans love.

The Battle Bunnies Digital Collectibles (NFTs) Are More Than Just Assets: We often circle back with Bill (and other guests) to the idea that The Battle Bunnies is community-first and not just the digital assets many of us hold. Our bunnies represent stories, artistic expression, and a part of a larger narrative within the community we get to share.

Where Are We Going: Klopping and TUF hosts discuss the future of The Battle Bunnies from their perspectives, including potential new projects, expansions, and collaborations. We are VERY excited about what's to come and the continued growth of the community.
