    Just what do the Nathrezim want?

    Just what do the Nathrezim want?

    This week we explore the Nathrezim's purpose on Azeroth and whether their manipulations had any impact on Sargeras. (Spoiler: probably not.) Plus we recount the whispers of Il'gynoth, what we know about Xal'atath, and just what role the Old Gods might play in the story moving forward.

    Tavern Watch Plays Pathfinder 01: How to fight off angry goblins in 7 easy steps

    Our Pathfinder 2e: Rise of the Runelords campaign begins! GM Matt Rossi sends our adventurers to the town of Sandport, where the party visits the local festival, has a curious encounter with a fortune teller, and fights off a group of angry goblins who descend on the celebrations. Surely that won't have any consequences at all.

    Tavern Watch Plays Daggerheart 01: Our one-shot adventure extravaganza

    We ran an entire adventure, from beginning to end, in one session using the v1.2 open beta playtest rules for Daggerheart, the new TTRPG developed by Darrington Press and the team at Critical Role. 
    GM Phil Ulrich leads a tiny frog merchant (Liz), a construct (Matt), a guardian (Nick), and a fairy (Anne) into the treacherous forest of the Sable Wood where, surprise, nothing goes as planned.

    What if Jaina Proudmoore became the Lich Queen?

    Join us as we explore an alternate universe where daughter of the sea becomes the master of the Scourge. After all, it’s not as if she hasn’t done horrible things as a human. To quote Matt Rossi “if you need someone to wield power, I’m your girl.”

    What happens when a World Soul is killed?

    What happens when a World Soul is killed?

    In anticipation of the upcoming Worldsoul Saga multi-expansion we explore the death of previous World Souls, including the one arranged by the Jailer to knock out the Arbiter. And in our continuing fascination with the lore of Cyberpunk 2077 we explore one of the troubling Phantom Liberty endings involving V, Songbird and Reed, asking ourselves: was it preem or not preem?

Consistently entertaining and surprising

I’ve been listening to the podcast for about 8 years now and I must say it’s one of my favourite to tune into. Mr. Rossi and Mr. Perez have really hit their stride lately, though there are moments when I miss Ms. Stickneys viewpoint I must say lately the fellas have been on fire. For new listeners there is no better backlog library of blizzard games related lore. This podcast shines as one of the few bright examples of how to produce a game related lore podcast, the hosts not only recount what has happened and is happening but often will speculate what will happen or what things can mean. It makes for a fantastic bit of listening as it feels very authentic and enthusiastic like you are sitting with friends brainstorming passionately yourself.

Thanks guys

Been listening for 3 years now and it’s been great! Unfortunately I have to give you 3 stars because I subscribed for Warcraft lore. Maybe I’m alone, but I couldn’t care less about comics, Warhammer or cyberpunk. Hopefully you re-evaluate what your core audience cares about.

Bring back the history of raids and dungeons.

Those episodes are so insightful, and
were the easiest thing to recommend to a friend to get them in the door!
