THACO's Hammer episodes:

June 06, 2024 Splatbook #9 - Campestri!
The
words “raucous” and “ribald” come to mind in this extra-long episode, but that’s what you get when the Core Gang (DMs Glen, Cory and Brian) invite DM Julie in for her always interesting (and somewhat loony) takes on all things 2E. In this go-round we have some interesting emails, Go over the Blade kit from last episode’s Complete Bard’s Handbook, Talk about eating (and Cory’s
specialty, drinking) at conventions, aim our discussions at crossbows and review and adventure from Dungeon #41 (in which we figure out that singing mushrooms might not be all that bad).
It’s definitely PG this week so you are warned. Still, it’s a lot of fun! Give it a listen.

June 03, 2024 Splatbook #181 - Most Un-Dwarflike Behavior
We’ve been labeled as outcasts for this episode! Join DMs
Fulongamer, Glen and Brian as they dredge up more ore from the 2e mines! After
answering an email, they pick up their pickaxes and get to work. First they
discuss the Outcast kit from the Complete Book of Dwarves, then with some
reluctance from Glen they discuss the new dwarven deities in the Deminhuman
Deities supplement, and then they end things with another Brainstorm.

We talk about the campaign world, “blooded” characters, priests in the campaign world, the monster the Awnsheighlin (which, by the time the discussion is over DM Glen manages to pronounce right) and finally a talk about DMing Birthright. A fun time had by all.
