You Won’t Believe This Dragon Queen’s Shadow! (Dragonlance 5e D&D) | The Goblins and Growlers Podcast

The Goblins and Growlers Podcast

Episode Introduction

Catching up on a few news items this episode, but first, we have to say hello to friend-of-the-show Joe Donka. He shot us a quick message saying he enjoyed our Satanic Panic episode. Thanks, Joe! For podcast newcomers, be sure to go back and listen to our "Joe Donka Trilogy" from earlier in the year. We tracked down Joe so we could talk to him about "The End," his Apocalyptic TTRPG. Then Brandon showed his support for Kelsey Grammar's hopeful return to the role of Beast from X-Men, perhaps the most perfect casting decision of all time.

Then onto more frustrating things: D&D's Chris Perkins wrote a blog post talking about Wizards of the Coast's process for sensitivity reading and editing after a sad series of screw-ups culminating in racist content in the recent Spelljammer release.

Finally, we try to talk fulsomely about Dragonlance and the new 5e release in that setting, "Shadow of the Dragon Queen." Something something Kender, something something Krynn. As part of this Dec. 6 release, Wizards is also putting out a board game, "Warriors of Krynn," that ties in with the story and combat of "Shadow." So it's basically a miniature-based wargame, which is an interesting example of time being a flat circle and everything coming back around to its origins.

Thanks for joining us this week!
