Gaming with Grief Podcast

My wife and friends sat down and played the new Division TTRPG. It's based on The Division 1 and 2 video game developed and released by Ubisoft. We had a blast. Can't wait for the full release. The Kickstarter closes on June 3rd 2026. This is the short mission in the Quickstart Guide. It's free if you go to the official Kickstarter page or on DriveThru RPG. Hope everyone likes it.

I do a spoiler-free review of a very special game Mixtape.

My friend Tim is a massive Final Fantasy fan. I just rolled credits on Final Fantasy 16 and loved it. So full spoilers. We talk about what we liked and didn't when it came to the game. We also talk about other games in the series and at the end Tim gives me video game homework. Which, to be fair, I'm not that mad at. Enjoy.

I had to talk about how much I loved 2024's Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden for the last time. Well maybe, I might talk about it once I platinum it. I swear this is the last time I talk about this game. Okay, maybe not the last time, but at least hear me out.

I read a little on it and I decided to talk about A.I. in gaming. I think that it takes a little bit of nuance. I share a few articles and try not to ramble too much. If you like what you heard please think about subscribing to the podcast and remember to like and share.

I finally review the new arcade-style beat-um-up Marvel Cosmic Invasion. Does this soar into the cosmos or is it dead on impact? I'll talk about it in my brief review.

I have been looking forward to this one for a while now. I really put this one through the paces. My final game clock was around 35 hours or so. Let's see if The Chinese Room was able to deliver a haunting, gothic vampire tale in Seattle Washington.

I'm back. In this episode I talk about what's good, what's not so go and what not knocking my socks off about Ghost of Yotei. If you like what you hear make sure to like and subscribe. You can also find the show on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

The characters decide to go to The Threshold of Heaven. After making some stealth checks they make it inside. The guards seem to ignore them and the PC's are able to get in the second floor.

The players successfully sneak their way through The City of Lost Names. And there they finally find Duskwalker and the Temple of Paladine. Good RP stuff.

A little bit of a shorter episode. Jesse and I talk about Martok's death. Then we introduce his new character Kyburn Auretrice. It was actually a good talk he and I don't remember the last time a character died.

After the group takes a long rest, their rocky-talky goes off and Darrett Highwater tells the group that he needs Adrick and Sinaught. The teleport to The Knights of High Sorcery and then the PC's decide to rest and then scout. Outside a Dragon Army Patrol was sweeping the city. Swami attempted to hide from them. Martok rushed a bit and tried to draw their fire.

TTE Ep. 58-Dragonlace Pt. 49-The Caretaker by Joseph Carlson

Sorry for missing an episode last week but I was out of town and my wife had the flu. So you get this. A One-Shot Feyd and I recorded. I was inspired by the Critical Role O' Ye of Little Faith One-Shot they did.

The group takes a bit of tumble, but they do find some old wine and a Stone Golem, good and bad. O'Grady has a bit of a tuff time with his dice, but after seeing two (Two?!?!)spectral dragons they decided to hold a funeral, just to be safe.

After the group hides a bit they start patrolling the canyon where The Dragon Army waits. They get ahold of Darrett Highwater the commander of the Knights of Solamnia that have been using the PC's as scouts. And, after some sneaking they have a bit of success.

The PC's outrun the black dragon, but there are some setbacks. They travel with the prisoners they let free and Oren, a scout, shows them the canyon entrance where The Dragon Army is staying. Lemons make Lemonade right?

I (in real time)go over my list and games that I reviewed this year.

Mergwen, the mage up on the hill tells the players he's able to get the prisoners to a safe place but that there is a group a soldiers with prisoners coming into the camp. Oh, and the Adult Black Dragon. Which doesn't notice the PC's but notices the demon that Yuriel summoned in the courtyard. Yay...

The Attack continues, and well, maybe doesn't stop. A lot of heavy hitters this time, the group is looking a little ruff.

So let me tell you about a little group decides to infiltrate camp Carrionclay. Just watch to see what happens. Does it work out, well, you be the judge.

A little bit of a shorter session we were missing some people. The most important thing is that Mergwen(with the groups help)released the curse from Wakenwreth. And he knows the where the mythical teleportation gate that Yuriel has been looking for. I explain the rules of the gate, and to let's be honest it may be a bit broken.

Mergwen asks the group to help him heal the temple of Wakenreth with a simple ritual. Unfortunately, a giant beast has been stalking him. O'Grady does great, or not. Everything pretty much turns up Millhouse.

Sometimes you just have to talk about stuff you love. I love Wayfinders, better known as Wayfinder Echoes on PS5. I know, this is a pretty short video, but hopefully you see why I love this game so much.
