Hello Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast!  So after a tumultuous week in which Hobbes took the advice of Eating "Rocks, stones, whatever" too seriously the Gobslugs were greeted by a communique from Wizards graciously providing us with a Preview Card for y'all for Adventures in the Forgotten Realms! We're not gonna bury the lede here so:

 



 

On the episode Alex and Hobbes look at the Mechanics, the Art (OMG Y'all Aaron Miller is incredible), The Flavor, bringing their own brand of Melthos Heat. Thank you Wizards for this free preview again, this was such a fun experience bringing this all to you! 

 

We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee!
