Lorekeepers - A Worldbuilding Podcast

In a much-needed episode we (finally) talk about everyone's favorite blood-sucking monster... vampires!

Talking points: F**k dad's treehouse, relic memory, human cows, blood magic is best magic, gnomes and vampires: not so different(?), moisture farming for mana, Koko is sad (and dead), blood relatives: literally, dwarf-love-shame and ecclesiarchy.
