Here’s a particular role-playing-game geek question that’s fun to answer: What kind of character would you -- the real world you -- be in World of Warcraft?

We've had a bunch of busy weeks lately, but this week was actually pretty quiet.

As we begin to wrap up our homebrew D&D campaign, Into The Weirs, the party faces down a monstrosity composed of undead dragon babies, enters the dragon citadel that may hold the answers to all their questions, and encounters a foe whose slogan is “we bring death.” Matthew Rossi DMs this session alongside our cast of players: Anne Stickney as Kiska, a slightly unsettling drow druid who has left the Underdark in search of the source of recent natural problems.

Diablo 3 Season 28: Rites of Sanctuary brought to an incredible theme to the table with the Altar of Rites where you can make sacrifices to unlock immense power.

It can’t possibly be Friday (again). I must be imagining it. I’m just filling in on the Queue for…. someone. Probably. Because it’s definitely not Friday.

This week we discuss what rewards we’re looking forward to from this month’s Trading Post, the Diablo 4 beta announcement (plus the fact that you can pet the dogs), and different specs we would like to see in WoW.

Valdrakken has many taverns to visit -- places for you to relax with an ale after a hard day of raiding, to explore the night life, or just to hang out for a little role play fun.

But at my back I always hear/
Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near;/
And yonder all before us lie/
Deserts of vast eternity./
Andrew Marvell, To His Coy Mistress

Yeah, turns out instead of being a Kree Supersoldier, Marvell was a British poet who, like a lot of other poets since poetry started, was really concerned that he should be having sex right now because we could die at any moment so it really makes sense to get all your boning in up front as much as possible.

Okay, so he did other stuff too like write things directly addressing Oliver Cromwell and convincing Charles II to not execute John Milton once Chuck was back on the English throne. But his poetical version of we’re all gonna die anyway, let’s get it on while we still can has always stuck with me as the classiest frat bro come on I’ve ever seen.

A standard piece of equipment given to all World of Warcraft players at the beginning of their journey is the Hearthstone -- an item that teleports to an inn of your choice.
