We're looking to add some writers to our team, plus an artist to do some merch designs for us! If you're interested, please send in an app! I like to think we are pretty fun to work with, but I may also be biased.

No surprise, but the latest Blizzard Watch Podcast is (almost) all about Midnight, from first impressions to our least favorite character (and maybe yours). Plus a tiny bit of news from Sanctuary (with more to come next week).
You can listen to the episode right now!
Cropped screenshot from video game World of Warcraft. An item's mouseover text reads, "A Whole Lot of Nothing 'What more could you ask for.'"
what am I doing this weekend? well,
How are you liking Midnight so far? Among the staff we have a lot of varied opinions, but one thing we're unanimous on is, we would absolutely commit a crime if Luma asked us to. π Jaywalking, cosmetology without a license, anything for this short queen.
You can earn a little naga battle pet from Discord to celebrate the launch of Midnight, and we want to stress that it is in fact a battle pet with moves you can fight with #hopium
Luminous Dust? Glowing Moths? You may have guessed this is another of those posts where we say "hey writers, what the heck is this thing?" and then we make them write a post about it. Love this for us.
Turnip Boy isn't just back, he's also free on Epic this week. It's like if Pretty Boy Floyd was starchy and fibrous and had a glock.
In our latest Tavern Watch Plays game, our adventurers lament the loss of handcrafted thuggery in our modern era after fighting off a drone. Truly one more thing AI has ruined.
Tune in for our latest Starfinder adventure as we play Murder in Metal City! Our second episode is now live, so tune in!
If you want this painting for cheap, there's no accounting for taste, I guess. Looks like my kid could paint this. I'll be waiting for a ninja turtle to show up with decor, thanks.

You only get to choose a few cards for this week's Spellbook Duel Hearthstone Tavern Brawl, so you'd better choose wisely...
Aman'Thul the worst HOA president, and other off-the-wall WoW lore discussions, all on this week's Lore Watch Podcast, which is now live! Subscribe in your favorite podcast player to listen and keep up with the latest episodes! #Warcraft #WoW
This week the Lore Watch Podcast gets back to answering all of your Warcraft questions, like: is Elune a world soul? What about void Naaru? What is anima, anyway? The end result is a lot of tinfoil hat speculation and a discussion of Azeroth's worst HOA president.
You can listen to the episode now!
screenshot from video game World of Warcraft, Eversong Forest zone. A runestone glows pink, with a teal glowing rune. A tree with pink leaves dominates the center, with small fireflies and pink mana wyrms flying around it. Smaller pink flowers grow around it, and also closer to the camera. In the distance is a Blood Elf building, white stone with a red roof and gold detailing. The trees closer to the building are orange and yellow.
screenshot from video game World of Warcraft, Harandar zone. A green plant guy with a pink flower of a head stands next to several pink flowers bigger than he is. In the background are tree roots, and lots of huge mushrooms, luminescing orange through the gills.
screenshot from video game World of Warcraft, Zul'aman zone. In a troll building, several candles glow with a menacing pink. Close to the camera is a table set with pink candles, plus a sword and a book.
screenshot from video game World of Warcraft, Silvermoon City. This is the ceiling of the room where Lor'themar and the mission table stand. A huge glowing orb of yellow light is at the center. Above, a projection of a pink planet and a blue planet, and pink stars rotate. There is a huge yellow light decorated in gold detailing that looks somewhere between a sun and a flower. Between is a level which is evocative of the sky, with sky blue and purples swirling, and more ornate gold detailing.
On Wednesdays, we wear pink.
A new Diablo 4 novel sees Lorath journeying toward Skovos prior to the events of the upcoming expansion Lord of Hatred. If we know anything about Lorath, the novel's title "The Lost Horadrim" probably means he got drunk and took a wrong turn at Kyovashad.
screenshot from video game World of Warcraft. A player character holds a fish they caught above their head (using the new Valdekar's Special toy). There are bright yellow light rays radiating from the glorious fish. They are standing next to a pool of water ringed by cliffs, with trees and gigantic mushrooms looming in the background.

Most World of Warcraft realms are back online, including Midnight, so you can get back to farming those Skyshards. Mists of Pandaria Classic realms remain offline, but that's probably not the WoW most of us were waiting for.
WoW Classic (Era, Seasonal, Hardcore) realms are back online, but maintenance has been extended for everybody else. Soon(tm)?
As you set off on your Midnight adventure, the Darkmoon Faire makes its return. You can visit the Faire for the Whee! buff and a few free points in your Midnight trade skills.
It is a very short maintenance today for all eras of WoW, so we're knocking wood because we just said that out loud.
Midnight is now live, so it's time to think about what's coming next. As it turns out, the answer is a whole lot.
When you get tired of all that light vs void malarkey, you might want to take a break collecting transmog from old raids #realendgame You might want to hit up Dragonflight first, since it is now officially on Legacy Loot!
Good news: NO MORE VALORSTONES
Bad news: you're still gonna hafta get yourself some crests for gear upgrades.
Tavern Watch Plays is hot on the trail (maybe) of a murderer (maybe) in our latest Starfinder actual play, Murder in Metal City! Which I suppose is a title that does imply the existence of a murderer somewhere. Tune in for the latest episode of our sci-fi adventure, which is live right now!
Happy Monday -- genuinely, for once! Today Midnight is in full release, but that's not all. Here is our weekly roundup of what happened last week, what's happening next week, and beyond. Though really, we're all just curious to know whether Liz decided what she's maining this xpack.
screenshot from video game World of Warcraft. A black and tan dachshund-type dog with bright blue eyes looks at the camera. Lime green text above him labels him as "Lil' Scoots." He is very little and cute.
We hope you all have a great weekend, but especially
him.
