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

Have I cursed us by suggesting we'll have a short maintenance?

Welcome to another Monday, friends, and a post-holiday Monday at that (at least in the United States).

The Collector's Bounty buff is currently active in World of Warcraft until July 29 at 8AM pacific time that boosts the drop rates of rare mounts and transmogs from all raids and dungeons in legacy WoW content, aka, everything before Dragonflight. Mount drop rates have been increased by up to 10 times, and in one specific (yet unknown) case, 25 times, and the transmog drop rates have been doubled.

I’m staying at my Mom’s house while she is taking a big trip. Feeding the fish, watering the lawn, and mowing said watered lawn. Y’know, house stuff. Don’t worry, Bacardi has my roommate looking after him and making sure he gets his soups and feasts most fancy.

It’s not even that far away from my house, but I always like to play it up — which annoys my favorite person a little bit. I know it’s only 25 minutes away, but that’s like forever!

While I figure out what I didn’t pack along with me, it’s time for — The Queue

The War Within patch 11.2 Ghosts of K'aresh will release August 5, 2025, with season 3 beginning one week later on August 12.

This week we're playing a game of Daggerheart, largely because I was enchanted by the Motherboard setting in the book — a funny turn of phrase, since the setting has no magic!

This year's Greedy Emissary crossover features hourly Treasure Goblins being pummeled into submission in order to acquire their loot -- "hellish" recolors of WoW's beloved Tier 2 armor sets.

I have a nine year old son and a fully grown husband so of course this is their favorite collective holiday.

Summer Games Done Quick is back!
