So I run a few D&D games for the folks here at Blizzard Watch — and maybe I could run one for y’all someday, who knows, I’m eyeing a Pathfinder 2e campaign lately — and recently, while blatantly stealing Blackwing Lair and making it the end dungeon of the current campaign storyline, I came up with a new mechanic for the Razorgore fight.

Well, technically, it’s not the Razorgore fight because I’m not that basic, but it is a fight involving Dragon Eggs in an ancient fortress of dragonkind, so anyway, close enough for what I’m about. But the mechanic I came up with as a lair action is so much fun, I’m really looking forward to seeing how the players respond to it.

Anyway, howdy. Lets queue this.

Playing World of Warcraft, I am often struck  by how ludicrous it can seem when a piece of gear shows up more often than you'd expect.

Blizzard currently has two MMOs -- the venerable World of Warcraft, which has been in operation for 18 years (19 this November, and it's a little terrifying to realize WoW could vote if it were a person) and the more recent mobile MMO, Diablo Immortal. Now, over the years I've come to consider a certain pace of content delivery to be the norm, but in reality many MMOs release content at a much quicker pace than World of Warcraft.

I don’t do jubilant. Even when I am exceedingly, ecstatically happy, I don’t show it. At best I cackle, like any good New Englander should. But even that feels overindulgent. Nevertheless, I hope that there are questions in today’s Queue that I can answer because then I feel useful for one brief moment.

It's no secret that I enjoy the whole 'go back to older content and mess it up hard by myself for transmog gear' aspect of World of Warcraft, because I just do not ever shut up about it.

Dragonflight's Revival Catalyst is currently available to convert your gear into tier set pieces, letting you pick up tier bonuses even if you've been particularly unlucky with raid drops (or don't raid at all).

I am willing to admit that I didn't see it coming when Blizzard announced that Hearthstone Mercenaries was getting shipped off to the internet equivalent of a nice farm upstate named Maintenance Mode.

Anyone with alts knows the pain of trying to collect enough Primal Chaos for crafting.

Seasonal play in Diablo 3 has been a real highlight of the game, and has ignited or reignited interest in players for years now, myself included.

One of my favorite sets is the Heroic version of the Sanctified Ymirjar Lord’s Battlegear, the red variant. But there’s a really noticeable problem with this set — no, not the belly shirt, I’ve made my peace with that one. Instead, it’s the lack of a belt that is considered part of the set. It used to be the lack of a belt and boots, but then they added the heroic version of the Etched Dragonbone Warboots back in Legion.
