On this episode of the Tavern Watch Podcast, we're talking about the return to Strixhaven (where their undergraduates can now prepare spells like D&D Wizards), some of our upcoming favorite crowdfunding projects -- among them the multiplayer expansion to Ion Heart, Austin Walker's debut game Realis, and the genre-straddling Cypher System megadungeon Jewel in the Sky -- and also how when you leave fans alone with high-quality free products they'll do things like convert the core rules of Ars Magica into the easy to read and use Markdown format. Plus there's a four-part Ravenloft comic coming soon with some big names attached to it; which cover is your favorite? (Team TWP is pretty solidly fans of the Hammer movie poster vibe of Cover C, just for the record.) The D&D cartoon from the 80s is up for you to check out on YouTube for free (and I'll be watching it too, since somehow it bypassed me in the 80s); are you or were you a fan? We also tackle a pretty interesting reader question that delves into the line between tabletop RPG history and missing your favorite properties, which can be summed up as: where's Dragonlance?
