The Queue: People die and Mistress Nagmara serves drinks

This is Mistress Nagmara, a barmaid at the Grim Guzzler tavern in Shadowforge City, Blackrock Mountain (home of the Dark Iron Dwarves). In WoW, she used to start and end a quest that has since been removed from the game, making her a rare Succubus character that players could interact with. In Hearthstone, she’s just been added as both a Warlock skin and a bartender in Battlegrounds. She’s my current bartender of choice, in fact. I really like her voice lines. She’s very good at her job of encouraging you in a way that sounds much more “friendly barmaid” than “saucy succubus,” to be honest.
Also, “Nagmara” is an anagram of “anagram.”

The Queue: Actually, I was supposed to be here today

It’s like I was just here, but here I am again. Are we stuck in a time loop? Am I trapped in an eternal Thursday? I guess I’ll find out if tomorrow never comes.
But for now, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I try to answer your questions and then we argue about it in the comments. Let’s get to it!

The Queue: It is the Wednesday before Diablo 4 (my dudes)
by Elizabeth Harper on April 22, 2026 at 2:45pm
I don’t know if there are any frogs in Diablo 4. I haven’t noticed any, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t there. So even though we’re largely talking about Diablo today, we will have to make do with this very ordinary and not at all harmful Warcraft frog. It’s probably fine.
This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column in which I answer your questions and we all hang out in the comments section to argue about it. Let’s get to it.
