    Stumbled across this podcast at the right time. Absolutely brilliant, funny and currently hearing their list of grudges. More addictive than warpstone…yes yes!

  • More than very little

    These lads are quite knowledgeable (at least Dhar is) but also quite fun. A simple 5 stars.

  • The Best lore podcast

    I love this podcast, perfect balance between lore and jokes 😅 and side note, as a Québécois ( French Canadian) the intro of episode 56 made my ears bleed 🤣

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lizardmen Skinks | Warhammer Old World Lore
Q: What do the Skinks believe that Sotek is, an Old One?
Darren says they regard Sotek as a god who rivals the Old Ones and may be a forgotten Old One.
Lizardmen Skinks | Warhammer Old World Lore
Q: How long lived are Skinks and Lizard people in general? Slann are functionally immortal.
Darren says Lizardmen are long-lived, likely living for centuries, although he does not give an exact lifespan.
Lizardmen Spawnings | Warhammer Old World Lore
Q: Could you expand an existing pool? Could you build another pool next or a half size pool next to an existing pool, and then just create a little notch channel as some of it go in?
No. The pool produces a set amount of warriors, skinks and kroxigors; increasing its boundaries would not increase the effectiveness of the spawning material.
Lizardmen Spawnings | Warhammer Old World Lore
Q: If you had two pools in, you know, opposite ends of Lustria that spawn simultaneously, are they both considered part of the same generation? Or is it generation pool specific?
They count as the same generation, though the broods may not be the same kin group or cohort.
Lizardmen History Pt7 | Warhammer Old World Lore
Q: With such mighty potential power, couldn't the Slann just obliterate the old city that was allowing demonic incursions in?
Destroying the city would violate its sacred status and could damage the geomantic web beneath it, disrupting nearby cities and defenses.
