This week, we explore the possibility of Night Elf Paladins, the future of Tarecgosa from Cataclysm’s Blue Dragonflight storyline, and if Azeroth is Cthulu’s great-great-grandparent. We also delve into why storytelling about diverse cultures should include input from creators of that culture. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Tavern Watch crew continues its Pathfinder 2e game, based on the classic Rise of the Runelords adventure!
In our latest adventure, GM Matt Rossi watches in amusement (we assume it was amusement) as the party picks a fight with a squirrel and sets on the trail of who — or what — just attacked the town of Sandport. One of these is perhaps more important than the other, but we had to deal with the squirrel.
And that building thing? Definitely not our fault. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tavern Watch Plays Pathfinder 02: How many buildings can one adventuring party destroy in a day?

This week we explore the Nathrezim's purpose on Azeroth and whether their manipulations had any impact on Sargeras. (Spoiler: probably not.) Plus we recount the whispers of Il'gynoth, what we know about Xal'atath, and just what role the Old Gods might play in the story moving forward. Hosted on Acast.

Just what do the Nathrezim want?

Our Pathfinder 2e: Rise of the Runelords campaign begins! GM Matt Rossi sends our adventurers to the town of Sandport, where the party visits the local festival, has a curious encounter with a fortune teller, and fights off a group of angry goblins who descend on the celebrations. Surely that won't have any consequences at all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
