If you’ve ever wondered how to pronounce “Mordenkainen” or wanted to be surprised how “Sigil” is properly said, Morrus and Peter delve into mythology, etymology, and the word of the creators themselves to figure out how to pronounce the more unusual words and phrases from Dungeons & Dragons.

Hi folks! Over on Patreon you can get access to exlcusive bonus content by supporting our show. Here's this week's bonus content for free, so you can see what to expect. This week, the guys try very, very hard to get the podcast started and fail for several minutes, try to explain American holidays, an NSFW Patreon promotion tactic, Peter channels his inner art critic, and two deleted projects from Our Favorite Game in All the World, Guess the Kickstarter Just from Being Told the Name! Please, please support the show via our patreon at https://www.patreon.com/morrus - we can't do it without you! Thanks for listening!

In this week's episode, we weigh some D&D books in order to scientifically calculate the page count of the upcoming Ravnica setting book for D&D. Talking of which, we discuss the new setting, along with rumours of Eberron's return. Note that this podcast was recorded shortly before those settings were announced on July 23rd, yet is remarkably accurate. We also cover the latest news and play our favourite game in all the world.
