    Hello everyone, this is Meaghan. I know it's been quite a while since I uploaded new content here, but that's because I've been busy producing content for the Dragonlance Canticle podcast, owned and operated by the Dragonlance Nexus. If you want to listen to what I've been up to over there, just click here: The Dragonlance Canticle Podcast. Since I took over that podcast, creating more Dragonlance content here seems a bit redundant. Therefore, I've decided to take this show in a new direction. Going forward, this show will be dedicated to horror gaming, meaning Ravenloft and Call of Cthulhu to start, but hopefully branching off into other games like Vampire and Alien RPG in the future. I'm planning to include segments on horror movies, novels, and video games as well. In the meantime, I am going to be releasing the three patreon-exclusive episodes I recorded previously, starting with the Magic the Gathering novel “The Brothers' War” by Jeff Grubb. And don't forget, you can always listen to my history podcast “Death Zone” if you just can't get enough of me. I currently have a six part series available on the first expeditions to summit Mount Everest, the disappearance of world-renowned climber George Mallory, and the theories surrounding his last days, including my own analysis of whether he might have submitted Everest thirty years before Edmund Hillary and Tenzig Norgay. You can find the link here: Death Zone Podcast. Lastly, I am now running paid weekly games of D&D at Startplaying.games/gm/MissMeaghanJ using Foundry as my virtual tabletop.

The town was holding a wizard conference, leaving our adventurers without a place to stay. During the night, Dendar experienced a frightening vision of a winged man, which triggered a wave of nightmares across the town, causing the sleeping wizards to summon creatures from their dreams. After putting an end to the chaos, the goddesses met a tiefling bookseller, who guided them to the town of Gloomwall beside the Sunset Mountains. --- Watch the live broadcast on Twitch, Saturdays at 4pm Pacific/7pm Eastern by clicking here.
