Lore Watch Podcast 211: Is Maldraxxus responsible for the creation of the Undead on Azeroth?

Our Pathfinder 2e: Rise of the Runelords campaign begins! GM Matt Rossi sends our adventurers to the town of Sandport, where the party visits the local festival, has a curious encounter with a fortune teller, and fights off a group of angry goblins who descend on the celebrations. Surely that won't have any consequences at all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We ran an entire adventure, from beginning to end, in one session using the v1.2 open beta playtest rules for Daggerheart, the new TTRPG developed by Darrington Press and the team at Critical Role. GM Phil Ulrich leads a tiny frog merchant (Liz), a construct (Matt), a guardian (Nick), and a fairy (Anne) into the treacherous forest of the Sable Wood where, surprise, nothing goes as planned. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us as we explore an alternate universe where daughter of the sea becomes the master of the Scourge. After all, it’s not as if she hasn’t done horrible things as a human. To quote Matt Rossi “if you need someone to wield power, I’m your girl.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In anticipation of the upcoming Worldsoul Saga multi-expansion we explore the death of previous World Souls, including the one arranged by the Jailer to knock out the Arbiter. And in our continuing fascination with the lore of Cyberpunk 2077 we explore one of the troubling Phantom Liberty endings involving V, Songbird and Reed, asking ourselves: was it preem or not preem?

The Tavern Watch crew are back with another TTRPG podcasting adventure! Join us as we jump headfirst into the v1.2 open beta playtest rules for Daggerheart, the new TTRPG developed by Darrington Press and the team at Critical Role. In this Session Zero for our upcoming one-shot adventure, GM Phil Ulrich shepherds Matt Rossi, Anne Stickney, Nick Marino, Liz Harper, and Joe Perez through the character creation process. It goes about as well as you’d expect with this group… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us this week as we explore if the Azerothian Archives should become a replacement for the dated Archaeology profession in WoW, how old you need to be start getting cyber implants, and if Spider-Man and Madame Web had a conversation, what would they talk about? Obviously, not box office numbers… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us this week as we explore which tech-based based stories in WoW could go full Cyberpunk 2077, how each Starcraft faction would fare against their counterpart in Warhammer 40k, and if the war in Warcraft is honing Azeroth into the ultimate weapon (which would be hunter loot, obviously.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us this week as we explore an alternate version of Azeroth’s history where Sargeras didn’t betray the Pantheon, but instead became a champion of the Light. From the elves never existing to the Horde never forming to the Dark Portal to Draenor never opening to a massive confrontation with Zovaal in the Shadowlands by a Titan-led army of Light, the implications are, needless to say, wild. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us this week as we discuss Calia Menethil’s dilemma about her role in the future of Lordaeron, the difference between Wild Gods, Titan Watchers, and Titans in WoW, and who would make a better fixer in Cyberpunk 2077, Joe “I just hope everyone had a good time” Perez or Matt “I don’t play well with others” Rossi. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us this week as we discuss the origins of hearthstones and their connection to Meeting Stones as well as the Brokers, if there is a way to wield the void without being corrupted by it (asking for a friend), and the mystery of Northern Lordaeron, the unexplored region between Ghostlands and Western Plaguelands that may get the spotlight in the upcoming Midnight expansion.
