    Ravenloft - The Domains of Dread - Part I

    Send us Fan Mail This is Ravenloft, everybody scream! At this spooky time of year I couldn't help but look at the creepy side of D&D. So we're going into the mists and exploring the Domains of Dread: Bluetspur, Borca, The Carnival, Darkon, Dementlieu, Falkovnia, Har'Akir, Hazlan, and I'Cath. You can follow along with Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft as we look at the changes, Easter eggs, and things left behind in bringing the Demiplane of Dread to 5E.  Twitter: @EldritchHistory Facebook: Eldritch History Email: EldritchHistoryPodcast@gmail.com

    One D&D - Orcs & Ardlings

    Send us Fan Mail One D&D is on the horizon and playtesting is already underway. But while we're looking to the future of the game, it's also important to look at where in its past some of the changes are coming from. This episode I look at two options for PCs that are unique for One D&D in different ways. Orcs trace back to the very beginning of the game, but for the first time may become a core playable race. The Ardlings on the other hand are brand new, but continue some longstanding traditions for Celestials. One D&D Playtest - Character Origins Orcs, Britons, and the Martial Race Myth, Part I: A Species Built for Racial Terror Orcs, Britons, and the Martial Race Myth, Part II: They're Not Human [content warnings for the articles: racism, colonialism/imperialism, cultural conflation, sexism, sexual violence, anger] Twitter: @EldritchHistory Facebook: Eldritch History Email: EldritchHistoryPodcast@gmail.com

    Lord of the Rings RPGs

    Send us Fan Mail One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them! I wish there was only one Middle-Earth game to bind all the players together, but over the past 40 years of LotR RPGs, there's a few more than that. This episode breaks down the gaming (and legal!) history of Tolkien's greatest works. From M.E.R.P. to the One Ring and everything in between.

    Drizzt Do'Urden

    Send us Fan Mail Companion of the Hall, champion of Mielikki, husband of Catti-brie, textbook ranger, and atypical drow. Drizzt Do'Urden has become one of the most famous characters of the Forgotten Realms (if not D&D in general). Created by author R.A. Salvatore (originally as a sidekick), his story spans over thirty real world years (centuries in fiction), across comics, video games, maybe TV if rumors are true, and most importantly the dozens of books in The Legend of Drizzt series. Number 38 is due out next week, Glacier's Edge. So now seems like the perfect time to recap the life and times of Drizzt Do'Urden. Homeland - The 1st Legend of Drizzt Book Starlight Enclave - The first book of the current trilogy Glacier's Edge - The newest book, releases August 9th Dao of Drizzt - Upcoming collection of Drizzt's essays Twitter: @EldritchHistory Facebook: Eldritch History Email: EldritchHistoryPodcast@gmail.com
