    366 - Lorwyn: First Light

    Last week, D&D and Magic smashed together to give us a setting supplemental for D&D that gives you tools to play a game in the world of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor. This $15 digital-only release on DNDBeyond has some new stat blocks, playable species, and backgrounds. Emphasis on the "some." For this week's episode, we're going to tell you what you can find in this little book and if we think you should buy it. If you want to support the Vorthos Cast, you can! Go to Patreon.com/TheVorthosCast and contribute as little as $1 a month to get access to our Discord server, as well as early episode releases! And for $3 a month, you can listen to episodes recorded live on Thursday nights at 7pm Eastern time! We'd love to have you. Our Patreon supporters keep the podcast free and ad-free.

    365 - The Flavor Gems of Original Lorwyn Block

    We continue to delve into the past of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor in preparation for Lorwyn Eclipsed, and this week we decided to take a look at the flavor gems of a block (or two, depending on who you ask) that came long before the Vorthos Cast existed! We talk about the cycles, standout cards, and our cast favorites from Lorwyn, Morningtide, Shadowmoor, and Eventide! And, of course, a little speculation on what might return in Lorwyn Eclipsed.

    364 - Planeswalker's Guide to Lorwyn Eclipsed

    How has Lorwyn-Shadowmoor changed since our first visit? We're digging in on major highlights from the Planeswalker's Guide to understand how the world has fared, and what aurora-evading trickery awaits on the twinned plane. To close our discussion, we indulge in a healthy dose of story speculation for Lorwyn Eclipsed and the finale year of this arc. If you want to support the Vorthos Cast, you can!

    362 - Welcome to Lorwyn

    With Lorwyn Eclipsed on the horizon, we turn our attention to the plane of faeries and boggarts, elves and kithkin, and its shadowy second self, Shadowmoor. To get everyone prepared for this field trip, we've put together an overview of the worldbuilding of the plane as it was, before the end of Oona's reign and the invasion of Phyrexia. Next week, we'll tell you all about that quest to unseat the faerie queen... If you want to support the Vorthos Cast, you can!

    360 - Flavor Gems of Through the Omenpaths

    This is an unusual Flavor Gems episode for us, as this is an unusual set for Magic! We're exploring the planes (and the Edge of those planes) this week to talk about the online exclusive Through the Omenpaths set! This set is a reskin of the Marvel's Spider-Man set, presenting a challenge to the creative team behind it to somehow make 25 unique representations of the "human spider" creature type line. Did they succeed? Well, it's complicated! If you want to support the Vorthos Cast, you can!
