Hello weary traveler! Welcome to GrimLore, your local tavern around the bend. Come, put up your feet and listen to two nerds discuss the universe of Warhammer Fantasy, and other Grimdark settings. Rey, the Elven Host who knows too much, but not when to shut up, and Gerald, the Dwarf with a problem all his own…he’s short. New episodes every two weeks! NOW ON PATREON patreon.com/GrimLore Send us your Warpstone, and loving fan mail through our new Email: grimlorepodcast@gmail.com
The boys at GrimLore delve back into the Mortal Realms of Age of Sigmar! This time, we learn our dwarven host has cousins that took to the air and make a living as pseudo-victorian steampunk sky pirates! What's not to love?! (Just make sure you pay your debts, or your name in the grudge book is the least of your problems!)
A new bonus episode! This time, fan favorite pirate king, Dungledoo, has made moves to take over the Tavern and lead an episode! He will introduce a DnD setting of his creation, the world of Andilmiros!
Everyone's favorite Imperial Dwarf, Astronautical, is taking the reins this episode to guide the boys at GrimLore (and Toasty) in the ways of his Fallout Vault building operations under the Tavern. That's right! We're going over a new setting! FALLOUT
In a desperate bid to make elves great again, our elven bard, Reyway spins the tale of Ulthuan's most based elf to ever elf! Eltharion the Grim! When the stories of your exploits against Druchii and the sheer audacity of making your survival Malekith's problem is enough to impress two dwarves and a Khornate kroxigor in the Tavern, you know you've done something right!
Due to a Druchii charter cruise gone awry, the boys at GrimLore have returned to the punishing world of Dark Souls, specifically, the capital of Lordran itself, Anor Londo! After finding refuge at a bonfire, our nearly hollowed Dwarven Host will teach Reyway, Dungle, Toasty, and a lost and found Brody about the life and trials of Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight and his family across the Dark Souls trilogy!
In a time ages past, a wise man once said, "Think of the Warp like an ocean..." and little did the Warhammer Community know the chain of events that would unfold years later! In this special crossover event, the boys at GrimLore join up with Mark from the Lorehammer podcast to discuss the connections and differences between the Warp in Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy!https://open.spotify.com/show/0QIgvDcApHcoqajFvAT7AV?si=cd2475c48e0f431f
In this special episode, the boys at GrimLore receive an important patron who wishes to share his creation: the ashen world of Makarbis! Come join us for a fun setting of dark intrigue, eldritch whimsy, and general world building for all you creative types! If you too have a setting you want to share or discuss with us (within reason), please check out our patreon for how to make that possible! patreon.com/GrimLore
Rey and Gerald are covering their first chaos god! BUT WITH A TWIST! Adding to the insanity is Warper, ever filled with plans and schemes unbeknownst even to himself! Also joining is Toasty, who has an insatiable appetite...but he's also hungry for some warp chicken as well! Will the Changer of Ways take interest in the Elf and Dwarf's lessons? Or will he view their discussion as slander?
Rey, Gerald, Toasty, and Warper smell a rat. Exho has joined the fray, but that's beside the point. Teaming up together in mutual survival, the group are trapped on the UNSC Mona Lisa as Gerald teaches everyone about the Flood from Halo! Remember kids! The popcorn may look friend shaped, but you can never glass/exterminatus too many planets when the Flood come swarming!
What was supposed to be a vacation from the insanity of the Tavern and elven politics turns into a game of probability and causality where Rey teaches Gerald and our guests, Toasty and Warper, the conundrum that is the Vex from Destiny! Will the squad prove their existence and not be deleted from reality??
SLIGHT TIRGGER WARNING THIS EPISODE. Some more serious topics will be discussed involving everyone's favorite Druchii Dommy Mommy, Morathi. Join Rey, Gerald, and Toasty as they return to the Tavern under the watchful eye of Admiral Dungeldoo and High Priest Zane in their absence! Discussions (and debauchery) abound!
The Elder Scrolls Saga continues as Exho and Toasty finish regaling Gerald and Rey the stories of Nirn's Deadric Princes! More insanity and macabre stories unfold as the party traverses Morrowind, the Skaven Bouncer continues his skooma/moon sugar operations, and the lusty Khornate Kroxigor wants blood and skulls no matter what!
While Admiral Dungle and co. are causing mayhem at the Tavern, Exho and Toasty have taken over this next episode holding Reyway and Gerald captive! In a scheme involving copious amounts of skooma and moon sugar, the Skaven bouncer and Khornate Lizardman look to teach the Elf and Dwarf about a pantheon even more crazy and fickle than those of the Old World...The fabled Daedric Princes of Nirn!
REYWAY AND GERALD ARE GONE! What knight in shining armor will discover this nefarious plot and come to their rescue?! HAH! Who are we kidding?! In a surprising twist of fate, the Druchii Admiral Scalecoch (who totally isn't doing this for altruistic purposes) forms an unlikely teamup with Tzeentch's Noble Trickster Warper, and the very feline and excessive Slaaneshi cultist Zane Leopard! What mayhem will they cause in their search for the GrimLore Duo? Stick around and find out!
IT'S OFFICIAL! GrimLore has just recently celebrated its 1-year anniversary! And now to kick things off with a special crossover event featuring the hosts of the Star Lores Podcast! While The Galaxy Far Far Away of Star Wars is more famous for its heroic, Space Opera aesthetics, there is still plenty of darker elements once you peel pack the layers, and Christian and Jordan have joined on to help the boys at GrimLore discover this dark underbelly!

The Druchii's curse of Twist of Fate continues to plague the Dwarven Host as his microphone malfunctions, but the show must go on! Join the boys at GrimLore this episode as they go over the dragons of the Old World, and why Rey needs an entire donut in the ocean to rest his massive elf ego!
Some wizard (or Druchii) must have cast Twist of Fate this episode, because our Dwarven Host Gerald is leading a discussion about ELVES! But not just any elves! We are talking about the depressing state of the knife-ears from the Dragon Age setting in Reyway's favorite episode yet! But why stay depressed over your second-class kindred when you can start your villain arc and rule a human kingdom? (Don't worry, he doesn't...)Come join us on Patreon if you want to hang out on Discord and partake in the fun among other cool perks!patreon.com/GrimLore
