Saved my Campaign

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!

An excellent tour of the Realms!

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!

An interesting concept!

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.
