Tabletop RPG

This week on the Tavern Watch Podcast, we wander very naturally into one of the most age-old discussions among tabletop players and GMs alike: do you have a preference for crunchy systems or streamlined ones?

In the final episode of our Legend in the Mist actual play, the Inkwell Club has managed to calm down the frenzied (and cursed) Spring Renewal Festival, only to see that several townsfolk are still caught in the thrall of something sinister and being led down the narrow switchback paths to the bottom of Skunk Glen Ravine.

The Season of Horror is in full swing in the Dungeons & Dragons multiverse, capstoned by the recent release of Ravenloft: The Horrors Within.

Our Legend in the Mist actual play continues!

The Legend in the Mist TTRPG has finally released, and Tavern Watch is here to dip our toes back into the world of rustic fantasy adventure!

This week on the Tavern Watch Podcast, we discuss one of the favorite pastimes of tabletop GMs: stealing borrowing very liberally from our favorite movies, books, and even other games for our own tabletop games.

Though the weather may be bright and sunny as summer approaches, the pages on the Dungeons & Dragons calendar have turned, revealing the first of three themed seasons for 2026 releases: the Season of Horror, with the release of Ravenloft: The Horrors Within.

This week on the Tavern Watch Podcast, we discuss some exciting news for fans of all things that go bump in the night: a new Vampire: the Masquerade project was teased for GenCon 2026, including a commitment to "human-created" art, as opposed to AI slop.

In this week's Tavern Watch Podcast, we're discussing Daggerheart, the much-hyped TTRPG from Darrington Press and Critical Role which is celebrating its first anniversary.

On the Tavern Watch Podcast, we don't like to just talk about tabletop RPGs: we like to play them, too.
