We've been hearing a lot about what's coming for Dungeons and Dragons, and though we can't say exactly what's on the horizon for the game, we can make some informed guesses.

Is it cool or weird that there's a Hearthstone mode that doesn't have anything to do with playing cards?

I’m as surprised as you guys! I mean, I literally didn’t want to play it, I just did it because our beloved EiC Liz Harper made the point that I should probably give it a shot if we were going to talk about it during the podcast. And then I did play it, and… I kind of liked it? I mean, it didn’t become an obsession or anything, but I enjoyed the experience and I felt like this is what the Garrison mission table should have been — not just selecting characters and sending them off to fight, but actually controlling them, choosing how they attack and what tactics they use.

I mean, it’s not particularly deep, but I’m not even past level 7 yet, so we’ll see how it feels once I get better at it. Regardless, I actually had fun playing it and I’m not adverse to continuing to play it.

Oh, and I’m listening to L7’s Pretend We’re Dead as part of my I’m awake at 4 am and I need music to function playlist. It’s also got Wolves Without Teeth by Of Monsters and Men on there, which is pretty dang good, you should try that out.

Once, when Sanctuary was young, an Angel and a Nephalem became lovers.

Since 2004, the Warcraft franchise has been fairly centered around the MMO genre. World of Warcraft and its offshoot, World of Warcraft Classic, have been the main focus for the series.

One of the most anticipated games of 2021 was Diablo 2: Resurrected, a remaster of a 20 year old isometric Action RPG.

During the Lore Watch podcast recording this week Joe Perez and I got to talking about the factions due to an email question.

I am not a lawyer, and never have I been more simultaneously glad and upset about that than I am today, because the Activision Blizzard lawsuits boondoggle just got extremely complicated.

There are a lot of interesting new D&D races in the latest Unearthed Arcana playtest content from Wizards of the Coast, named Travelers of the Multiverse — and there's definitely an extraplanar theme here.

If the introduction of Seasons of Mastery to WoW Classic teaches me anything, it's that you can absolutely introduce concepts from newer games into older ones, since the Seasons concept is basically life from Diablo 3 Seasons.
