Typically you'd think of ghostly creatures, such as Phantoms, Shadows, Will-o-Wisp, etc. [email protected] @worldofeora

The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about the original fantasy setting as seen in Obsidian Entertainment's Pillars of Eternity cRPG series, and their upcoming RPG: Avowed. Today marks a return to podcasting, for me, as I took a break recently to work on my mental health. As a result I will be returning to a bi-weekly (or is it bi-monthly?) schedule, so expect to see another episode in two more weeks. Today's episode is about the "Tribes of Eir Glanfath", which I have talked about...

Just a quick update on myself and this podcast, there's going to be a (hopefully) brief interruption in the content, as I take some time off this month to recover from a sudden and alarming depressive bout. To be clear I am not leaving this show or abandoning it, I enjoy making the content and think it's beneficial for me overall; just at this current time I need to prioritize other areas of my life and reintroduce things like this one at a time. If you have any questions comments...

The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about the fantasy world/setting for Obsidian Entertainment's cRPG Pillars of Eternity series, as well as their upcoming first-person RPG: Avowed. Today's episode is the second "half" of a two part series on "How to play D&D in Eora". I call it a 'brute force minimalist transposition'. How it works is that we look at the ruleset as it exists in D&D 5e, and we (with as little finicking as possible) shoe-horn that ruleset to fit into the Eoran...

Be forewarned, this is not a thorough-going homebrew or conversion - this is a transposition of existed...

IMPORTANT: At the end of the episode I recommend a YouTube channel to you, but because of "stupid brain", I misspelled their channel name. It's SENTEGRAPHS.

The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about the fantasy world/setting created by Obsidian Entertainment used in their cRPG Pillars of Eternity series, and their upcoming first-person RPG: Avowed. Today's episode I'm describing as "soft lore", which means that we are using lore from other areas (particularly areas of the soul, reincarnation, and whatnot) to ask "what gives fighters/rogues/barbarians the special powers they have?" Because, here's the thing, all those classes of character in...

They are one of my favourite creatures in *any* fantasy setting. And if I could...

Today's episode looks at one of the races in Eora: dwarves. While most of us are familiar with a dwarf from other fantasy-based media, Obsidian's take on dwarves a little bit different.
