Last week's trap within a trap within a trap was sprung, and now the first steps towards the Power Behind the Throne are about to be taken.
Leaving the dangers of Kemperbad in their wake, our Glorious Heroes sail north, a strong wind at their backs. However, what blows in with the wind bri...

So, for the last vote, we had a draw? After some discussion with Sotek, we've decided to do Volkmar today at 4pm UK on his channel, and Myrmidia at 4pm UK on the LAWhammer channel next week.
That means we're Volkmaring it up in less than half an hour!
Grand Theogonist, here we come!

Our poll for this has been running since last Thursday, and the last spooktastic supbect we'll be discussing this month is...

We're back from the cliffhanger! Ready to watch our playthrough of Death on the Reik rush through to its conclusion?
Having witnessed the horrors of her castle firsthand, our Glorious Heroes are gathered around the table of Lady von Wittgenstein as an ambassador makes his presence known. What he has to say changes everything, but as outside forces rise against them, is it all too late?

We thought this episode was lost when our production laptop died, but we somehow managed to recover it. The sound took hours to repair this afternoon, but we've got there in the end. So, strap yourselves in, because things are about to get a little wilder!

Are you ready to take a step back into the past? This one may go places you really, really don't expect. Let us introduce you to Magnus the Pious's Advisory Council.
Tales of the Reik: The Storm of Shemtek
With the horrors of Castle Wittgenstein revealed, Father Luitpold, a Seer of Sigmar, has a vision. He sees how it all began with Magnus the Pious over 150 years earlier, and witnesses the impossible choices that 'Sigmar Reborn' faced...

The second guest for this season of Lorebeards has arrived, and it's a doozy: it's only the one and bloody only Gav Thorpe! Bloomin' 'eck!
Gav has designed some of our favourite Warhammer games, written some of our favourite Warhammer novels, and has had his fingers in so many Warhammery pies down through the years that he may as well be a bloody Halfling. So, join us as we delve into the the many characters and worlds he has loving brought to life for us all and take a deep dive...

We rarely talk about Inside the Rookery here on LAWhammer - that's the weekly podcast that's hosted by Andy, Lindsay, and Andy - but today is the exception. Why?
Because this week they're talking maps, and we know a lot of you love your maps out there.
If that happens to be you, they're live at 7pm today taking questions with master cartographer Mike Schey, who you may know from ALL THE COOOLEST D&D MAPS EVER!

This one goes some places we didn't expect...
Death on the Reik: The Legacy of Nagash
Our Glorious Heroes gather to assault the inner keep of Castle Wittgenstein, the horrors of what they have encountered so far still fresh in their minds. However, how will they react when what lies within is not as expected?
Watch it here:
https://youtu.be/sv-eLMMVCag
So, what is Morrslieb, the Chaos Moon? Why does it get so big during our campaign? How can it be one size on one place, and a different size elsewhere? It's clearly not a 'normal' moon, so what is it? Where did it come from?
All that and more is enormously relevant to the LAWhammer campaign.
We're live at 4pm UK-time to discuss everyone's favourite portent of doom!
An ominous title this week. Are you ready for Episode 19?
Before we dive into what's coming up, let's drop the same warning as last week:
WARNING: Yet again, our production laptop is out of commission, so there will again be issues this week. Apologies, but nothing we can do about that until the repairs are finished - so far, the motherboard and hard drive have been replaced, and the system has been tested, so it should be back with us soon.

Death on the Reik: Twilight Assault
A firecracker snaps, outlaws swarm forward, and the twilight assault of Castle Wittgenstein begins. But can our Glorious Heroes take the outer keep without alerting the inner? And what will they do when they find out what lies within?
