Visions of N'zoth have had a nightmare of a launch. Sean and Lex talk time-gating, player expectations, and content shelf-life.
This week's Lore Watch is based on a listener question, which mashes together two of Joe and Matt's favorite topics: Azeroth and Dungeons and Dragons. Specifically, this episode goes through doing just that: how they would play their way through a World of Warcraft-themed D&D campaign. They discuss their picks for the best tabletop system to play their way through a potential Azeroth-themed adventure, and then dive deep to discuss which small corner of Azeroth's history -- from setting to characters -- they'd like to experience in tabletop form.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Manny asks Lex and Sean about the battles we have fought in The War Within thus far. Sean continues his feud with PwnGodX but is betrayed as Lex demands that he be put out of a job.
This week's episode was inspired by a question from a listener, about where the story is going from here as we make our way toward the next expansion of World of Warcraft, Midnight. We veer right into Tinfoil Hat territory pretty quickly. After all, it's tough when a lot of the sources we have are either written by unreliable narrators, or were written well before any of current events were even thought of -- which is part of the question itself. The Titans, the First Ones, and how they interact with the Void is a topic with a lot of intricacies and ground to cover, so Matt and Joe will do their best to navigate all this treacherous ground.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

This week's Lore Watch Podcast is Q&A style, so the topics veer all over the place -- more so than usual. We start off with a question about the Emerald Dream and whether it was designed as a prison -- timely, given Hearthstone's latest expansion releasing yesterday. Speaking of Hearthstone, the next question concerns in-game board games, and what kind of play happens on Azeroth. Then, they follow it up with a question about the Botani and other NPCs potentially coming to Azeroth from different planes and timelines. Seems like a good way to get new games, but then I usually just look through Steam. If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!
