Should every race be open to every class in WoW?

Join us this week as we discuss the recently rolled out Dragonflight Season 4 including its reverse squish dungeon difficulty change. Also our WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria beta experiences, Hearthstone’s quest difficulty identity crisis, and WoW’s return to China. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Special guest site writer Nick Marino joins us as we discuss the massive amount of news that dropped this week about WoW’s next expansion The War Within. We cover arguably one of the biggest quality of life improvements coming to the game in the form of Warbands as well as the alpha test, dynamic flight, Delves, the new Earthen allied race, new classes coming to the Dracthyr, a major in-game event that has already been spoiled (really, people, let's not), and the new mode that turns spiders into crabs. Though not crabs with tiny hats so there is obviously still some improvement to be had there. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us as we discuss the smaller delights found in WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 3, trying to keep up with all of the seasons/battle pass/limited time event grinds across multiple games, and what recent single player fantasy games (other than Baldur's Gate 3) is equivalent to Cyberpunk 2077’s engaging mix of massive world building, story driven quests, and modern graphics. Hint: Not enough. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us as we discuss the new adorable duck reward from this year’s Noblegarden event, Diablo 4’s first PTR, what we’d like to see in the future for WoW Classic’s Season of Discovery, how Overwatch introduced a new hero but without all the extra stories usually surrounding the launch of a character, and we end on a deep discussion about Pirate Stitches and shark guns. You’re welcome. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us as we discuss the recent Diablo 4 dev chat revealing the many quality of life improvements coming to the gearing system, the massive Dragonflight meta achievement that rewards the goodest of boys, and the new raid content coming to WoW Classic Season of Discovery and Wrath Classic. Plus, the flower-hatted duck that is destined to be our new best friend. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us as we discuss Plunderstorm, the surprise 60-person Battle Royale mode Blizzard just dropped for WoW (but not for WoW, it’s a thing.) We also cover our varying levels of excitement and disappointment over the new Hero specializations revealed for The War Within, wax nostalgic for the new 10th anniversary Hearthstone cards referencing the game’s past, and wrap up with the question we’ve been asking ourselves a lot lately, "Does Overwatch even know what it's trying to be anymore?" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, we discuss the renaissance in TTRPGs since Wizards of the Coast alienated the community with last year’s pricing and royalty shenanigans. Creators are now going in new directions like Critical Role’s d12-based game Daggerheart, romance-driven TTRPGs, and Chaosium’s game design challenge that encourages creators to build new games they retain the rights to. Also, AI DMs. Because who wanted improv in their game sessions anyway?!Tavern Watch is our podcast devoted to tabletop roleplaying games brought to you by the people behind the Blizzard Watch and Lore Watch podcasts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us as we discuss the idea of Diablo 4 making more cosmetics attainable through in-game activities, the Hearthstone 10th anniversary event in WoW along with all the limited-time shinies that it drops, the confusing dungeon difficulty changes coming to Dragonflight Season 4, the irony of the upcoming launch of WoW Cataclysm Classic, and the on-going mystery around WoW patch 10.2.6. Can’t we at least get a badly Photoshopped picture of it?? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us as we discuss the latest Diablo 4 including the good (Vampiric powers!), the bad (more repetitive endgame content!), and the fabulous (dapper feather hats!). We also cover the new March Trading Post rewards, the atrocities we would commit for transmog, and the lack of easily available bags in WoW Classic Hardcore Solo Self-Found mode (say that three times fast.) Finally we express our love for comfy shop management games and are looking forward to the new one coming from Big Blue Sky Games, Merchants of Rosewall. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us as we discuss how slow leveling, complicated itemization, and lack of early game unique drops make for an unfun Diablo 4. We also cover the new Warcraft Rumble Season 4 coming next week, the new Hero specializations revealed for The War Within, and just what in the Carmen San Diego is a self-found mode in WoW Classic Hardcore. Plus something something Overwatch 2. We’re not sure what, but Joe seemed very enthusiastic about it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
