The Travel Log

This podcast helped me compile my adventures in the sword coast. It provided me with an excellent base and countless options for my players. Also I like to re-listen to some before I sit and write out my next session. So entertaining and awesomely researched!

Two hosts with great chemistry delve into the decades of canonical lore all across Toril, the world of the Forgotten Realms setting for D&D. Steve and Lily do a fantastic job of bringing new light to long-forgotten bits of the world — they touch on old favorites like the towns of the Sword Coast, of course, but also delve into places only found in the older editions of the game like Turmish or the Moonshaes. They’ve had some great guests on as well to discuss areas of the world that could benefit from different perspectives. For each location, in addition to the lore deep-dives, they also suggest plot ideas for GMs and character ideas for players, so there is legitimately something for everyone. Highly recommended!

Haven’t really seen an idea like this before for a DnD podcast. I don’t know a lot about canonical lore, so it’s interesting to hear just how expansive it is. Follow hosts Lily and Steven as they dive into the different locations of Faerun! An easy listen and a nice change of pace.

I listened to the Candlekeep episode and loved their take on the library and it’s components. I was less interested in their reading of descriptions - it almost sounded like they were reading it for the first time aloud. My advice would be, if there is ever any word for word text, make sure to read it out loud a few times before recording so you can work through any pronunciations and pacing. Otherwise, I loved the episode and interpretation of Candlekeep. Your banter with your co-host/guest was fun too!
