In this episode, we discuss the updated D&D rulebooks rolling out soon, the impact of the recent massive layoffs at Wizards of the Coast on both their own products and the larger industry, the role of AI in game development, and the importance of community trust for TTRPG companies to be successful.

Join us as we discuss if WoW is a narrative-first game, the evolution of the portrayal of goblins, and if Anduin taking center stage in the upcoming expansion means Sylvanas will also make an appearance.

Join us as we discuss WoW’s return to the Chinese market including the World First cash incentive, Ethereal weapons returning to Diablo 3 with Season 32, our reaction to the latest War Within class changes, and thoughts and prayers for Diablo 4’s Season 5.

Join us as we discuss how the new features coming with Diablo 4 Season 5 don’t make a compelling argument to play it on a Seasonal realm over an Eternal realm, the bad luck protection with WoW’s Midsummer Fire Festival rare drops, and when we think The War Within prematch will drop this summer.

From Shadow Priest artifact weapon to retconned manipulator of Azeroth’s history to the Old God-adjacent big bad of The War Within, we discuss what we know about the void entity known as Xal’atath.

Join us as we discuss struggling with stepping away from a beloved game, Hearthstone’s new tropical vacation themed expansion, and why Diablo 4 should have an Adventure Mode.

Join us as we conclude our deep dive into the narrative of the Fallout video game series with a focus on New Vegas as well as possible story tie-ins with the second season of the Fallout TV show.
