Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ravenloft: Zherisia Cluster (Domains of Dread)
Q: What makes Xeracea stand out among Ravenloft clusters?
Its stacked-domain structure with Peridon and Timor as two interlocking layers creates a unique vertical threat and a highly insular society, highlighted by sewers as a full-fledged domain ruled by the Hive Queen.
Elf Lore and Legend w/ James from Random Encounters
Q: What's your opinion on elves?
They are seen as virtually immortal and flawed, often arrogant in their perfection, yet fascinating in their storytelling.
DnD Lorecast Presents: Matt Sernett, writer for Demeo X D&D: Battlemarked
Q: What can we expect from the game both technically and story-wise?
Players will experience a rich D&D narrative with various choices impacting gameplay, though it uses a more casual gaming style compared to traditional D&D rules.
DnD Lorecast Presents: Matt Sernett, writer for Demeo X D&D: Battlemarked
Q: What does your position as a narrative designer actually entail?
I develop the characters and their backstories, the story, side quests, dialogue, and random encounters for the game.
Trobriand's Graveyard w/ Roll for Lore
Q: What unique challenge does the graveyard present to adventurers?
Adventurers must navigate a complicated network of corridors and face constructs that may ambush them as they seek to escape or interact with the inhabitants.
