In this week's episode, we take a look at best practices for indie authors' email newsletters. This coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Frostborn series at my Payhip store: CALLIANDE25 The coupon code is valid through May 18, 2026. So if you need a new ebook this spring, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 301 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is May the 1st, 2026, and today we are looking at the effective use of email newsletters for indie authors. We'll also have an update on my current writing, publishing and audiobook projects and a Coupon of the Week. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code, we'll get you 25% off the ebooks in the Frostborn series at my Payhip store. That coupon code is CALLIANDE25. And as always, the coupon code and the links to my Payhip store will be available in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code will be valid through May the 18th, 2026. So if you need a new ebook for this spring, we have got you covered. Now let's have an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. My main project right now is Dragon-Mage, the sixth book in the Rivah Half-Elven Thief series. I'm pleased to report the rough draft of that is done at 82,000 words. So I think this will end up being the longest book in the series to date by a slight margin. I believe the previous longest one was Half-Orc Paladin, which came in at 78,000. I've started editing. The first editing pass is 9% through. Hoping to get a little further with that after I record this episode. I'm hoping to have this book out before the end of May, if all goes well. My secondary project is Blade of Thieves, the fifth book in the Blades of Ruin epic fantasy series. I am currently 8,000 words into that. So once Dragon-Mage is published, Blade of Thieves will be my new main project. My new secondary project then will be Cloak of Frost, the 15th book in the Cloak Mage series. I thought I should mention that in the podcast because I had two questions in my email about that today. So I will be starting on Cloak of Frost sometime in the second half of May, if all goes well. Hopefully it will be published in July, with Blade of Thieves coming out in June (if all goes well). In audiobook news, recording is underway for Cloak of Illusion, and that will be narrated by Hollis McCarthy and Blade of Wraiths, which will be narrated by Brad Wills. We're making good progress on both. I am looking forward to sharing those audiobooks with you before too much longer. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. 00:02:28 Main Topic: Email Newsletters for Indie Authors Now let's move on to our main topic, email newsletters for indie authors. If you are listening to this podcast, there's a pretty good chance you're also subscribed to my newsletter and if you are not subscribed to my newsletter, I recommend you do so because not only do you get three free ebooks when you subscribe to my newsletter, then every time I have a new book announcement, I give away a free short story as well through links in the newsletter. So it really is to your benefit if you want to read my books to be subscribed to my new release newsletter. But there are other reasons for an indie author to have a newsletter and we're going to talk about some of those reasons in this episode and some of the things you should not do with a new release newsletter or an email newsletter (if you have one). For a while, email newsletters were considered obsolete in the age of social media. Why not just put things on Facebook or Twitter? Well, for one thing, Twitter doesn't exist anymore. For another, as social media algorithms changed and it became harder for people to see content in their feeds consistently, many authors began to look for alternatives to social media and ended up back on email newsletters or Substacks. The main benefit of an email newsletter is that you have control and it's not dependent on a specific platform. You don't have to worry about your account being flagged or closed by some random AI glitch and lose your ability to communicate with your readers. Most importantly, you're targeting people who want to know more about you instead of trying to fight through all the digital noise that is the modern internet. So today, we're going to talk about five things to try with your author email newsletter, and five things that would probably be the best to avoid. #1: Give people a reason to care. People need a reason to subscribe to an email newsletter, and it should be substantial enough to be a motivator. For myself, I offer three free full length books to new subscribers, Malison: Dragon Curse, Blade of the Ghosts, and Frostborn: The Skull Quest, and they arrive in a three book bundle from Book Funnel. People also need a reason to open the emails once they subscribe. For myself, I offer newsletter subscribers free short stories, usually timed around the release of a new book. For example, I just published Blade of Wraiths, and that came with a free short story, Halfling Alchemy, and I gave away a bunch of copies of Halfling Alchemy when Blade of Wraiths came out. For Dragon-Mage, yesterday I finished writing a short story called Paladin and Priest, and that will also be given away for free to newsletter subscribers when I send out the new release newsletter after Dragon-Mage is finally published (hopefully later this month). Other things you can try are offering exclusive discounts, sneak peeks of new books, and giveaways. When I have a BookBub featured deal, I will usually send out a newsletter like the day before or two days before that to share the upcoming discount with my newsletter subscribers as well. Sometimes when I have special sales like that, I will also use the newsletter to send things out to try and generate interest in the sale. #2: Get to the point. It's good to get to the point as quickly as possible in an email newsletter. People are skimming emails at best. We all get lots and lots of emails, and the longer the email is, the less likely it is to be read. Make it easy to scan for the main points and try not to have a long, rambling introduction. Good formatting also helps people who are skimming to find what they want quickly. Good formatting also helps people who are skimming to find out what they want quickly. Based on my own email data, what gets the most clicks are the images of book covers I put on there. Usually I have an image of the book cover that goes to Amazon and an image of the short story cover that goes to my Payhip store where I'm giving away the short story for free, and those consistently get the most clicks in my email newsletters. So that is an example of getting to the point and good formatting because the point of the newsletter is to let people know that I have a new book out or that something's on sale and the good formatting in the form of the cover images lets people quickly get to the thing I am offering them. #3: Use data to figure out what's working. Once you've done a few newsletters, you will have the data to see if there's certain types of newsletters that are more successful than others. You can go even further and test if there's certain days of the week or times of day that are more likely to be successful. Conventional wisdom is to send things early on the day on a Monday or Tuesday and avoid Friday afternoons when people are already distracted by the weekend. For myself, I've generally gotten the best results with newsletters sent on Monday, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Now, obviously many people are at work at that time, but you'd be surprised how many people have signed up for the newsletter with their work email address and seem to welcome the distraction during the workday when a new release announcement arrives. I have sent newsletters on Fridays and weekends. It's never as effective. Usually Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are the most effective days to send out a newsletter. #4: Use a consistent format. Using a consistent format for your newsletter can make it easier for people to find the information they're looking for and makes reading a newsletter more of a ritual. For example, author James Clear does a weekly newsletter with three quotes from his own books, two quotes from other people, and one reflection question each week. For myself, my newsletters almost always follow the same format. I'll have one section with the cover image and links to the main thing I'm selling and then below that, two smaller areas, which are for the short story I'm giving away for free, and then another one with another short story I'm giving away for free or some other item I want to promote. Sometimes it's an audiobook. Sometimes it's another author's book who has asked me to include it in a newsletter swap. It's usually something of that nature. I've been using that in the same email format for like the last 10 years or so, and it's been working pretty well. #5: Be sure to preview and proofread before sending. Be sure to preview how the newsletter will actually work before sending it out. Proofread the text, make sure none of the images are pixelated, and make sure all the links are working correctly. If you include a wrong link in the newsletter (which I have done in the past), people will let you know about it. It might be helpful to have someone else test it before sending it out. So those are five tips that you want to do with your newsletter. And I'm also going to add a bonus sixth one: follow the law. There are several regulations related to email newsletters, both in the US and the EU, and I think most of the EU ones still apply to the UK, even though they left a couple of years ago. In the US, if you are sending an email for a commercial purpose, you need to include a physical mailing address with every newsletter you send out. Many authors use PO boxes or UPS box numbers to avoid putting their home address in there, but if you are sending out an email for commercial purposes, you do need to have a physical address somewhere in the email. Usually it's at the bottom. If you look at, for example, emails you get from like Amazon or Microsoft or Apple and you scroll to the bottom, you will note that they are including a physical address for the company in every email they send out because that is the law. There's also something that is required in the EU, and I believe it's now required in the US called a double opt-in. That's where if you add someone to your newsletter, they have to have given explicit permission for them to have been added to the list. For the subscriber, how that usually works is they fill out a form and then you are required to send them a follow-up email with a link to officially subscribe and that should get them officially subscribed to your email list. It also works that they send you explicit written permission to add them to the list. For example, I've had a couple of tech support questions where someone said, "I want to be on your newsletter, but I can't figure out the form. Could you just add me? " That counts as explicit permission. You should only add emails to your list if you have this explicit permission for them to do it, and that's with a double opt-in explicit, written permission, or the kind of giveaway that properly follows these rules, where various services offer things where you can put up your books and people sign up to receive free ebook copies of the book and if they do so, they acknowledge that they will be added to your email list. That also qualifies as the permission. So those will be the things you want to be aware of with your newsletter. You'll need a physical address and to be aware of the rules involving permission and double opt-in. Don't randomly add email addresses to your list. Probably nothing will happen, but if someone complains that they're on their list and they can appeal to the appropriate authorities and you don't have documentation that they were added to your list in that way appropriately, you could get in trouble. So try to follow the law whenever possible with your ... Actually, no, not whenever possible. Always follow the law with your email newsletter. So let's launch from that into five things not to do with your email newsletter. #1: This is not a diary. It's good to be a little bit personal in your newsletter, to have a warm and welcoming tone, and to give people a tiny peek into your life. However, some authors put their entire life on display in their newsletters, which includes epic rants, details about relationship problems, photographs and personal details about minor children, and breathless pages on pages about how writing is so very hard. And this is not (in my opinion) a healthy way to engage with the Internet. Again, it's good to be a little bit personal, but as a writer, your newsletters are still professional communication, and it's good to be mindful that many people have a very, very low tolerance for personal details. Even innocuous information like a picture of yourself boarding the plane to your minor child's hockey tournament has to be done with caution. Something like that gives people a way to find you at a specific place and time and know exactly when you will be away from home, two things you probably want to avoid. All the usual precautions about posting things about yourself and your children that apply to social media also apply to your newsletter as well. #2: Don't spam people. Although it's good to regularly send out a newsletter, sometimes it can cross the line into being too much. It can be tempting to send out a barrage of updates when a new book comes out, but daily emails are overwhelming and will get ignored. The conventional wisdom is to send out things no more than once per week. That's the rule I followed myself and it's worked out pretty well. #3: Don't treat it as only an ad. If you only send out links to your books, people will eventually tune out. Beside the incentives we mentioned earlier, it's a good idea to do things like provide writing updates, answer reader questions, and giving behind the scenes peeks like a teaser quote from a work in progress. #4: Don't put the most important stuff on the bottom. The most important information in the newsletter needs to be near the top. Not everyone will scroll all the way through each newsletter, so it's important to put any important news, links, or updates within the first couple of paragraphs or lines. That's why whenever I publish a new book and send out the newsletter, the first thing on the ... Well, actually the second thing, we'll talk about the first thing in the next point, but very near the top is the link and the cover image to the new book. #5: You do not want to force your subscribers to stay. Don't hide the unsubscribe button. You want people who don't want to be able there to leave or to not to flag it as spam. For myself, I put a link at the very top of each email to give people the chance to unsubscribe without having to hunt around for that information. It's best to do this because many people do not unsubscribe to email newsletters. They simply mark them as spam and move on. If enough people mark your newsletter as spam, then it will get harder and harder for it to show up in people's inboxes, which is the entire point. So you want to make it as smooth and easy and as frictionless as possible for people to unsubscribe from the newsletter because that will be to your advantage in the future. I have read some horror stories about authors who flip their lids when someone unsubscribes and then manually re-add subscribers to the list after people have unsubscribed. Do not do this. This is illegal. You may get in trouble for it, and even if you don't get in trouble for it, it will irritate your reader/the person who unsubscribed, and they will start leaving bad reviews and spreading bad word of mouth about your books. So for all these reasons, it's definitely to your advantage to make it very easy to unsubscribe from your newsletter. So to sum things up, email newsletters are a great way to reach people, but it's a delicate balance of providing people information they want and treating it like an ad or diary while also making sure you are complying with relevant laws and regulations. It may take some trial and error to find the right balance that your readers want and one that you can keep up with consistently and most importantly, enjoy doing. Just because something works for one author doesn't mean it's going to work for you or interest your readers. If your newsletter isn't an instant success, don't give up, but keep trying new things and be consistent with it. After all, everyone needs to start with their first subscriber at some point.

Show Notes The second half of the paladin journey is where the class really comes into its own. From level 5 onward, the paladin build shifts from a dependable frontline support into something that feels like a true divine powerhouse. In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the discussion walks through those mid to high level milestones and shows how a solid character can evolve into a standout presence at the table. At this stage, we start to see just how impactful Extra Attack can be, boosting damage output and making Divine Smite far more consistent. Aura of Protection quickly becomes one of the defining features of a high level paladin, turning the character into a mobile defensive anchor that rewards smart positioning. As levels climb, features like Improved Divine Smite and various cleansing abilities reinforce the idea that the paladin is both a damage dealer and a stabilizing force for the party. A big part of the conversation focuses on optimizing paladin subclasses and how each sacred oath scales into late game play. Some lean into burst damage, others into control or support, and there is a clear emphasis on aligning those strengths with overall party strategy. At this point, players are encouraged to think beyond basic paladin tactics and start considering long term character optimization, action economy, and how the build fits into the group dynamic. Spellcasting becomes more nuanced as well. There is always that tension between spending spell slots on Divine Smite for immediate damage or holding them for utility and control spells. The episode offers practical paladin spell selection advice that helps balance those decisions so the character remains effective across different encounters. Multiclassing also comes up, with a thoughtful look at when it makes sense and when it may hold a character back. While there are some powerful multiclass paladin build options, the tradeoff is often a delay in key features that define the class at higher levels. A little restraint and planning can go a long way here. By the end, the focus expands beyond mechanics. The paladin at higher levels is not just filling a role but helping define the party's identity. There is a sense that this class naturally steps into a leadership position, capable of shifting the momentum of a fight while keeping everyone else in the game. Key Takeaways Paladin level progression from 5 to 20 introduces major power spikes like Extra Attack and Improved Divine Smite Aura of Protection stands out as one of the most powerful defensive abilities in DnD 5e A strong paladin build balances offense and support rather than focusing on just one role Divine Smite remains the core damage mechanic but requires careful spell slot management Thoughtful paladin spell selection helps maintain flexibility and effectiveness across encounters Sacred oath features scale differently so subclass choice has a big impact in late game play Multiclass paladin builds can be effective but often delay essential class features Positioning and action economy are key to maximizing aura benefits in combat High level paladins offer strong survivability and reliable frontline presence The paladin often becomes a central figure in both party strategy and narrative direction Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Ghetto ass wedding!

In this episode of Need Some Introduction, Darren and I discuss a busy week of streaming, led by a breakdown of Euphoria season 3 episode 3, “The Ballad of Paladin,” centered on a lavish wedding that collapses under Nate's hidden debts, violence, and Ru's escalating criminal entanglements, including Western motifs, OnlyFans/crypto “gold rush” commentary, and standout scenes involving Jules and Nate's dad. We also talk about how much we're enjoying Margot's Got Money Troubles (performances, tone, and skippable opening titles), react to the massively successful but sanitized Michael Jackson biopic (missing controversies, Janet Jackson, and cut scenes), and agree Apex is a frustrating Netflix misfire despite Charlize Theron. We cover cautious interest in Half Man as a Baby Reindeer follow-up, mixed feelings on Beef's later episodes, and Victor flags Apple's Widows Bay as an upcoming comedy-to-horror series.

In this episode of Previously On, Jillian and her husband Tyler are breaking down Euphoria Season 3 Episode 3, “The Ballad of Paladin,” and WOW this episode gave us the wedding of the season, but in true Euphoria fashion, it came with chaos, consequences, and one missing toe. Beneath the pink bows and $50,000 worth of flowers, everything starts to unravel for Nate and Cassie, whose “perfect day” spirals into something far darker than either of them expected. Meanwhile,this episode dives deeper into Jules' backstory, revealing how she became a sugar baby and Rue's storyline takes a wild turn as she gets pulled into bigger risks.We're also counting down our Top 5 “Keep Smiling (As Something Terrible is Happening)” Moments, including Maddie facing shade from Nate's mom, Cassie desperately clinging to her dream wedding as it collapses around her, and Nate learning the hard way that you can't outrun your actions even if it costs you a toe.We also get into Tyler's takes on everything from the absolute madness of the wedding dance floor to the episode's wildest visuals yet. This episode really marks the moment where the theme of consequences takes center stage and it feels like the calm before an even bigger storm.00:00 Intro to pod01:39 Wedding outfits03:46 BB appearance07:22 Recap S3 E3 "The Ballad of Paladin"09:07 Jules sugar baby origin story14:45 Top 5 Keep Smiling (as something terrible happens)16:03 Maddy, at least you didn't marry Nate20:14 Cassie, got her expensive wedding27:26 Jules, ShyGuy118 is still there somewhere30:28 Cal Jacobs35:06 Rule, at least you're not Laurie's mule40:30 Should Rue have been invited? 42:10 Nate, still got 9 toes47:10 Lexi is a virgin48:05 Gross moments50:44 Tyler's Takes50:54 Coen brothers52:05 Plastic surgeon52:46 Fez call from prison53:46 Bishop cowboy54:31 Alamo legit55:22 Suze55:40 Limo Hummer55:57 Housewives weddings56:20 "Get Low"Thank you to Matt Buechele (@mattbooshell) for creating our new theme song.

So Stripe has been fighting with me all year over ANC Report. Sad news is they will no longer allow me to accept payments from Peasants to Rainbow Frogs. So if you were A Peasant, Artisan, Knight, Paladin or Rainbow Frog this is the end of that adventure. I am battling with them to either refund the money to the buyers or allow me to have it. Right now it is on hold which is the worst case scenario because it means neither I or the customers have the money. Fear not, I am used to being canceled off of things for no reason. Stripe wants us all funneled into establishment social media which is control by the wall kissers. Substack is not one of those. They are the last man standing. But currently they cannot offer a tier list like Patreon or others do. But they are the ONLY one that does not censor. We did not know how Substack would be. On a scale of 1 to Lindsey Graham how gay would they be on free speech. Enough time has passed to give them a grade. It turns out, they actually obey the constitution. Which means Spinning squirrel is a go. You can thank Stripe for pissing me off enough to release it. So every Sunday for the next 12 weeks we are going to show case Spinning Squirrel, Rotating Rodent and Twirl Squirrel the Final Solution plus interviews with prominent H.R. updates from Bud and other things that will make the establishment crawl up the wall. So much nonsense is said about the Holocaust including the retarded twitter-sphere that keeps talking about “muh Red Cross report” and acting like only 271k were killed. It is a funny meme, but it is completely false. However I am not that interested in debunking idiotic exaggerations coming from THAT side, as they are already criminalized in 25 countries. I am focusing more on the equally absurd exaggerations and fabrications coming from Holocaustianity. Do not be a light switch brain. Debunking nonsense from one camp is not an endorsement of the other. I used to argue with revisionists and have debunked many of the best of them. Oddly those interviews have been censored too. But Why should I play offense for the side that has labeled me a denier and canceled me off of everything? I'm not going to any more. They can play defense themselves. I will however body slam, whip to the ropes, big boot and leg drop the Holocaust alarmists. Because these charlatan rats have profited in the tens of millions of dollars from lying about the holocaust, playing victims where they were never even involved and so on. So today if you can, cancel you ANC membership and add substack at least at the $7 level but I encourage you to get Prime. The price is adjustable give as much or little as you want. You can mimic what yo were trying to do on ANC. Better than that getI am seriously about to kick the establishment in the nuts. This burns all bridges for me to “legit” media. Doesn't really matter because I am blackballed from that anyway thanks to the ADL, SPLC, Canary Mission and so on. Literally the Epstein List. So of course I will double down. This will be Ryan Dawson Dark Mode. Starting with this 911 map puzzle. Fun for the Whole Family. Oh I got Bin Laden! Yay, who has Bandar Bin Sultan? Wear this Shirt every Sunday for Holocamania starting May 10th to July 26th This is a public episode.

Show Notes We dig into one of the most iconic classes in tabletop RPGs, the Paladin at levels 1 through 4. This is the phase where your holy warrior goes from enthusiastic squire with a shiny sword to a legitimately terrifying frontline presence powered by divine magic, righteous conviction, and just enough smiting to make your DM nervous. Early on, we lean into what makes Paladins such a standout in D&D 5e and similar systems. You are not just a fighter with a glow effect. You are a walking moral compass with burst damage potential and surprising durability. The conversation balances mechanics with table reality, highlighting how Paladins feel in actual play versus how they look on paper. Spoiler, they feel strong. Very strong. There is a lot of attention on core class features at low levels, especially Divine Smite. We talk through why it is one of the most satisfying abilities in the game and how new players often underestimate just how hard they can spike damage when they time it right. Resource management becomes a quiet theme throughout the discussion, since blowing all your spell slots in one fight feels amazing until the next encounter reminds you that you are now just a very polite fighter. The discussion also explores Paladin build options and early decision points. Fighting styles, spell selection, and ability score priorities all come into play. Strength versus Dexterity gets some airtime, along with the importance of Charisma as more than just a roleplay stat. We ground optimization advice in actual play scenarios, making it clear what works at the table rather than just in theorycraft spreadsheets. Roleplaying gets its moment too. The idea of the Paladin as a rigid lawful good robot is gently dismantled. Instead, we encourage players to think about oaths as guiding philosophies rather than restrictions. This opens the door for more interesting character arcs, internal conflict, and storytelling opportunities that go beyond just hitting things with radiant damage. By the end of the episode, the takeaway is clear. Levels 1 through 4 might be early game, but for Paladins, this is already a power spike. You are durable, you hit hard, and you bring utility that makes the whole party better. The class is beginner friendly on the surface but has enough depth to reward smart play and thoughtful character building. Key Takeaways Paladins at low levels are already one of the strongest frontline classes thanks to durability, healing, and burst damage Divine Smite is the defining feature early on and rewards good timing and spell slot management Resource management matters since Paladins can burn through spell slots very quickly Strength builds are the default, but Charisma is critical for both mechanics and roleplay impact Fighting style and spell choices at early levels shape how your Paladin feels in combat Paladins are more than "lawful good stereotypes" and offer strong roleplay flexibility through their oaths Early levels still provide meaningful party support through healing, buffs, and presence on the battlefield The class is easy to pick up but offers deeper optimization for players who want to maximize effectiveness Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

The Blooming Court Ch. 5The group, minus Arguile and Galahad, is recovering from the crash and taking stock of what they lost and what they can recover. Before Duo heads out with Shanks to scout, Zechs urges Duo to be vigilant, as the last time they were in the feywild, he nearly lost Duo to the Feywild, and Duo assures him that he'll be careful. With that, Shanks and Duo conduct a quick scout of the area and confirm that the forest is dense and that the denizens are abundant. With a quick ping of Zechs' primeval awareness, he confirms the overwhelming amount of fey in the area. Given the recon, they discuss ways to keep themselves safe if the need arises, using their kits, such as protection from Evil and Good or Galahad's aura. Glad takes a moment to make an offer to the land, asking for safe passage. With that, the group sets off and encounters a pixie with a taste for booze. The more Glad engages with them, the more apparent Zechs' disapproval becomes. While Glad gets herself into a sticky situation with the fey, she's able to relieve herself of the pixie after giving it some booze from the minibar, guiding it into a fey trap. To which Zechs further stresses that the group does their best to follow his lead and instructions, as he is the only one of the group who has actually lived in the Feywild, which gets some jokes about him being no fun, but the group obliges.Zechs eventually finds the group a good spot to camp for the evening, and they break into watches, with Arguile and Shanks taking first watch, joined by Duo. They discuss how Duo wants to do more than sit on the sidelines and scout, and the rogues encourage him to tell his dad how he feels. They also tell him that they'll back him up and help teach him things if that makes things easier, which he's grateful for. The second watch is Turk and Galahad, where Turk reveals why the crash left him so shaken and reveals more about his time before meeting the group. After which, they discuss Paladin oaths, and Galahad speaks about his training with Antonius, the markings on his arm symbolizing each year committed to each oath, and eventually running into the party. He assures Turk that the group will be there to aid him if he ever asks, whether for training or to take down Kaz, to which Turk is grateful.

In The Money Media is back with a fantasy draft of the 2026 Kentucky Derby runners! Join host PTF alongside broadcaster Michelle Yu, Churchill Downs oddsmaker Nick Tammaro and Fox Sports Chris Fallica as they circle round robin through the field to pick their top choices for the 2026 Kentucky Derby. The field is pretty much set for the First Saturday in May with some noteworthy defections thus far being Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Ted Noffey and Risen Star Stakes winner Paladin. Trainer Brad Cox has the top two runners on the leaderboard with Florida Derby winner Commandment, giving Cox a repeat win in the Florida Derby after his runner Tappan Street bested eventual 2025 Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty, and Blue Grass Stakes winner Further Ado. Todd Pletcher eyes another win in the Run for the Roses, and a first for business magnate Mike Repole, with Arkansas Derby winner Renegade. A rare runner not from Bob Baffert emerged as victor of the Santa Anita Derby with Mark Glatt's pupil So Happy fronting the California charge while the precocious Louisiana Derby winner Emerging Market currently sits eighth on the leaderboard, with the Kentucky Derby likely to be just the third start in his career. Other runners currently slated for the Kentucky Derby include: Jeff Ruby Steaks winner Fulleffort Florida Derby runner-up The Puma Southwest Stakes champ Silent Tactic Wood Memorial winner Albus Santa Anita Derby runner-up Potente (trained by one Mr. Bob Baffert) Louisiana Derby runner-up Pavlovian, Wood Memorial runner-up Right To Party (conditioned by Ken McPeek, trainer of 2024 Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan) Virginia Derby winner Incredibolt Lecomte Stakes winner Golden Tempo Blue Grass Stakes runner-up Ottinho Jeff Ruby Steaks runner-up Stark Contrast Gotham Stakes winner Iron Honor and Florida Derby third-place finisher Chief Wallabee, trained by last year's winning Kentucky Derby trainer Bill Mott. Not to mention the foreign invaders to this year's Kentucky Derby, which currently includes Danon Bourbon from Japan, UAE Derby winner Wonder Dean and UAE 2000 Guineas winner Six Speed.

Midnight Meanderings - Ep 38 SOLO QUEUE DISCORD now available:  https://discord.gg/nXQVqERcSU Show Notes  Welcome to Episode 38! – 2:13         Time to pin you down and force you to listen to what I think of Midnight so far.  Or maybe just entertain you while you work or commute or mow the lawn or whatever it is you are doing.  Thanks for bringing Solo Queue along!  By the way, the countdown checklist idea on a podcast on the day that the U.S. launched four astronauts towards the Moon is sheer coincidence.  In fact, my intro preview came out to Patreon supporters days ago.  Serendipity, baby!   News – 6:37 SQ Socials news Horde neighborhood – Desolate Collective – finally figured out how to add members beyond those on the original charter; not great for momentum, but the key was, as I suspected, strip down to no add-ons and the invite button on the roster actually functioned properly! The test was Gershom and she is the first new member; reach out in game or out if you want to move your Horde house to the Desolate Collective The SQ Guild Solo Together is strong and growing. You can find it in the Alliance Guild Finder, but it is open to both factions.  We have an Alliance side Guild Neighborhood that is open to members of the guild.  If you want to join, just reach out and we will get you an invite, Horde or Alliance.  It is a bunch of cool people of many different backgrounds hanging out, checking in on each other, all very casual.  New Discord link: https://discord.gg/N86fhRkDem  If you are good people, come check it out.  I am @sweeperdave on Discord and of course, soloqueuewow on everything else out there. GT change/delay – yeah, life finds a way into all of my plans; GT on hold, but will return; also quietly on hold is this year's 64-competitor single-elimination tournament among Warcraft characters will take a year off. Rufus is available, Habitat for Humanity; through May 12; The mini war hammer in the mouth is amazing. Music video/marketing from WoW and the musician Aurora is fantastic S1 – what is open, what is left? A lot of S1 is now open with the arrival of M+ keystones last week and the Darkway delve. For raids, the Voidspire and the Dreamrift both opened on Mythic difficulty.  All other diff of the Dreamrift, the one-boss raid, opened the previous week.  For the Voidspire, LFR wing 2 is available, as is the as-yet-unimproved Story Mode version. Coming this week with the March 31 reset is wing 3 of LFR for VS along with the Normal, Heroic, and Mythic versions of the 3rd raid of Midnight, March on Quel'Danas. This is a 2-boss raid.  The Raid Finder/LFR and SM versions arrive the following week on April 7.  And the final delve, the Parhelion Plaza opens this week as well.  New nemesis for the season is Nullaeus, and Valeera Sanguinar is here to help you through all of the Delves. A Race to World First update? On Solo Queue? 9 bosses from all 3 of the raids, with of course the final 2 bosses taking the stage on Tuesday with the launch of the March on Quel'Danas. As of the time of recording, there are three familiar names that have cleared the first two raids and are awaiting the penultimate boss: Liquid, Echo, and Method.  Six more teams are trying to take down the final boss, identified as the Crown of the Cosmos in the Adventure Guide. Spring sale on Bnet – pets and mounts and packs of stuff, along with certain game services Twitch drop is the Cuddly Void Grrgle; before April 23; watch 4 hours of WoW on Twitch 0.5 preview of what is interesting No release date yet, but an 8 week cycle would be April 28, so there is still plenty of time. The Voidforge will help to upgrade gear. That said, the Nebulous Voidcores that you will need to upgrade gear come from M+ d, raids, Bountiful Delves, and Nightmare level Prey Hunts.  More open-world activities launch with 12.0.5 with Void Assaults comprised of Void Strkes and Void Incursions. Another activity is Ritual Sites, a tiered scenario that can be tackled solo or with a party of up to five players. Add the underwater fishing activity called Abyss Anglers and it seems like there will be a lot of options to freshen up your routine midway through Season 1 of Midnight.   Class Identity Challenge – 27:45 On Azeroth Morning Radio, Jibbs described his connection to the Paladin class to his own life and that got me thinking about why I identify with my favorite class, Druid of course.    Hero's Call Co-Opted – 36:33 And continuing with AMR-adjacent content, I low-key (as my 9th grade students say) stole the Hero's Call Board segment from them for a good reason, to highlight someone awesome in the WoW community.   “What Have You Done Lately?” – 53:56        Honestly, not enough Warcraft, but both Haranir characters have been created bringing the active roster to 69.  My oldest active character, and possibly my first character, is the first Horde character to start an expansion for me, and he has hit 90 and already wiped once in the “Story” Mode raid.  Oof.   Main Topic:  My Midnight Experience – 1:29:19 Walking through the leveling campaign going through my thoughts on the zones, storylines, music, graphics, and selected systems in Midnight. Silvermoon City – 1:39:22 Eversong Woods – 1:45:20 Arator's Journey – 1:55:22 Zul'Aman – 1:59:48 Harandar – 2:07:41 Voidstorm – 2:17:40   Closing Thoughts – 2:25:26 Wrapping it all up, including my brief thoughts on the so-called “Story” Mode raid for the Voidspire and a potential reveal of the final boss…   Outro – 2:37:10 Thanks to all of you for your patience in waiting for this episode, Blizzard for the amazing music and sound, to OGRE for intro/outro music, my lovely and supportive wife, my family, and YOU for listening.

March Madness is here! And so the only logical thing is to get improv comedian Julia Pistell and the actual Bill Curry together to talk basketball for an hour on the radio. For the 16th* time. That may not be the only logical thing to do. It may be that that’s not a logical thing to do at all. But we’re doing it anyway. *It’s our 16th one of these, unless it isn’t. Our story is that we’ve done this every year since 2010 except for 2020 — which is to say, every year our show has been on that there actually was a March Madness tourney. And we’re pretty sure our story is true. One of those years, the show was actually about birds. But so what?

Midnight released last week, so this week our podcast crew shared their first impressions of the expansion. While most of their experiences have been positive, there were a few small points where things didn't quite gel the way they wish they would. Of course, nearly everyone's highlight of the expansion thus far is how almost every NPC tells Turalyon to shut his cake hole, but the storytelling and questing has been a blast, even if we can't get into the Vault yet.Less exciting was the first true set of Hearthsteel bundles to hit the battle.net shop, including a beautiful tree. We're salty about the pricing aspect, but have to admit it's a pretty nice tree.Our special guest host this week, columnist Chris Chesno, was on hand to discuss the new Diablo 4 Paladin, which has a trial coming up this week.

This episode includes discussion of animal injury and illness, including descriptions of wounds and death. A mystery (and the need for a little spending money) has sent the crew of the Little Snail up into the hills of Spillaway Peaks. In between attending to their escortee, the locally famous photographer Waylon, Veile, Nicky, Jonathan, and Elena encounter the edges of a strange curse. What has happened to the Oxen of the Peaks? Can it be reversed? And what might it mean for the Perpetuan Cycle… This week on Perpetua: A PIcture of the Hills 04 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Waylon, Local Photographer [NMWY] Traits: Stubborn, Experienced, Prickly, Soft-Hearted Stats: ???  Attacks: ??? Special Abilities: ???  In-Game Description: Spillaway Peaks local photographer has been serving the community for hundreds of years. His hard shell covers a soft interior. To be honest, I haven't actually seen Waylon's "soft-heart" yet, but maybe that'll come in time.  Starter Tip: If you fail to convince him to make a detour while you grind or do other side quests, do NOT let him wander away! He will immediately start taking damage once you're on a different screen. Brown Flegg [NMBF] Typical Traits: Mischievous, Stubborn, Direct, Family Oriented  Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 8 Attacks: Flegg Strike, Infuriate, Flegg Gale Special Abilities: Stoneshell In-Game Description: A living egg. It comes up to your shins. Hey, why are these ones brown!? A leveled up version of the classic Flegg. They're level 10, so expect a higher HP pool. Their Flegg Gale also gives them a little extra "oomph." Be careful if you have a status that weakens you to Air damage! Starter Tip: Their resistances and vulnerabilities are different than the base Flegg. These ones are strong against both earth and fire damage, but are weak to poison! Sentishell [NMSS] Traits: Justice-Seeking, Protective, Noble Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 8  Attacks: Hilt Bash, Holy Slash Special Abilities: Holy Aegis, Stoneshell, Threaten In-Game Description: Extra-large, light-green Flegg with brown splotches. Wears shining platemail armor and helm, visor raises so that you can see his brave expression. Wields a long sword and Kite shield commensurate to his size. A Paladin-type Flegg!? Yup, your eyes aren't deceiving you. This little guy has pretty standard stats, but lots of defensive moves to help keep him and his crew safe from incoming damage. I wonder if we could recruit him to OUR side.  Starter Tip: Both his Holy Aegis and Threaten skills can be canceled by hitting him with either Dark or Lightning damage! So prioritize those!
