Tavern Watch Podcast

We're entering the winter doldrums of game scheduling, and many of our TTRPG adventures have been coming to a halt (or at least a slow) for the winter due to the difficulty of getting this many adults in a room, even a virtual one, for the holidays.

On a recent episode of the Tavern Watch Podcast, we discussed some of our favorite tabletop gaming content creators -- after all, while we know Tavern Watch is your favorite tabletop podcast, there are a ton of other TTRPG content out there on the internet!

On the Tavern Watch Podcast, a mention of a crowdfunding campaign for Lodestar leads us to discussing areas where the community has picked up for Wizards of the Coast's slack on the Tavern Watch Podcast.

There are a lot of games we're excited to play — and excited to watch!

On the latest Tavern Watch Podcast, we're excited about Draw Steel, a new game from MCDM that strikes us as spiritual successor to D&D 4e.

In this week's Tavern Watch Podcast, we dig into the disaster of Diamond Comic Distributors, which filed for bankruptcy in January and is now trying to claim books in its inventory are its property, to be sold to pay off creditors.

It's a new week of drama in the TTRPG community, and we're here to dig into the latest news.

Daggerheart has just launched, so in this episode we talk about our first impressions of this new game, which seems poised to take on D&D.

In this episode, we are joined by Phil “The goblin with the dumb name that you all love” Ulrich as we go in-depth on the good, the bad, and the ugly of the new Player’s Handbook.

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.
