Welcome back to another episode of World Forge! This week we're talking about one of the most fundamental locations in any DnD adventure: the tavern!

Whether you're preparing for your first adventure, resting after a long day of dungeoneering, or just trying to find a cozy place to eat, you're bound to spend some time in a tavern or two in your travels. We talk about some interesting taverns and rest stops that we think could inspire awesome adventures, how to create an interesting tavern, and how to build a more interesting party origin than "so you're all sitting around in a tavern..." So join as as we journey to The Gilded Petal, a tavern that sits upon a portal to the fae realm, and... a slaughterhouse? Trust us we make it work!

We also turned to twitter to hear from some of our listeners and followers about what are important features in any good tavern, we've got lots of cool suggestions from @Will_Knight3, @nat1advice, @Guildfellows, and more!

We also spend some time talking about an awesome supplement we were lucky enough to receive a review copy of, that's @dragonborndoug's Torzael's Guide to Insectfolk, now available on DMsGuild! Torzael's Guide to Insectfolk is a collection of insect-based playable races that can help give your next character a truly exotic edge. You can find this supplement on DMsGuild here: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/285684/Torzaels-Guide-to-the-Insectfolk

Welcome back to another episode of World Forge! This week whatever color hat you wear, you've got a place around our campfire because we're talking about cowboys and outlaws! We go hog wild talking about all kinds of cool western tropes and how to use them to create interesting characters for just about any setting.

This is a topic that Piper and I are extremely passionate about, and we really want to help you build a cowboy that can fit into whatever game you're trying to play, whether it's a western, a scifi, or really anything else, the lone gunslinger is always a fun character archetype to squeeze into your story!

We talk about a lot of movies this time around, among them of course the classics Sergio Leone's The Good the Bad and the Ugly, and Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, but our main rec room recommendation this week is the music of Jose Gonzalez! This is an artist that holds a special place in our hearts, he's the reason Piper and I are together, and he's also a great source of cowboy inspiration! If you want some music that will put you in the mood to hop on your horse and ride on into the sunset, you could do a lot worse than Jose Gonzalez, go check him out!
