Tomorrow's the last day to get in your vote for the Indie Game Awards Community Picks awards! You can vote for any indie game in any category, but you have to get your votes in by November 24 at 2pm PT/ 5pm ET. We have a rundown of the biggest nominees and info on how to vote right here.

I'm just thinking positively in this week's Tavern Watch Plays, in which our game of #Starfinder 2e is going just great. Tune in now to catch the latest episode of our #TTRPG actual play series!

Tfw you're looking for something to use as a telekinetic projectile against your enemy and your GM suggests that there's a pile of corpses nearby... Yep. That's the latest episode of our Starfinder 2e #TTRPG, now live. I'm sure it's fine. It's probably fine. Listen now on the Tavern Watch Podcast!

Do you have nostalgia for Classic WoW, but still want to play retail WoW? Consider Plot 47 in Razorwind Shores! It has all the dust and cactus apples you remember from when you logged in for the very first time. It won't make you young again, but it'll make you feel something, anything!

Just thinking back to that joyous day when we briefly thought that transmog was going to be free in #WoW. That was nice, wasn't it? Anyway, we talk more about transmog on this week's Blizzard Watch Podcast. You can listen to the full episode right now.

Hey, um, we're so sorry about this, but there is a ton of cool decor stuff in your Garrison. Luckily we have some tips to get you in and out as fast and easily as possible. Again, we apologize.

If you, like me, have already started fighting because everyone wants a huge turkey but it literally will not fit in your oven and someone else was like Anna you can make a pie and I'm like oh CAN I??? You may also want to give Cloud Gardens a try. Serenity now. blizzardwatch.com/2025/11/20/n...

We first met Arator in game almost 20 years ago, in a tavern in The Burning Crusade. Here's what you need to know about him as he takes a central role in Midnight. (And if you're as floored by TBC being 20 years ago as I am, it might be time to contact your doctor about getting a shingles shot).

At dawn, look to the east... and maybe you'll see Sylvanas Windrunner and an army of Dark Rangers coming to defend Silvermoon. In which this week's Lore Watch Podcast delves into some speculation, but it's not exactly far-fetched. You can listen to the full episode right now.

So, you want to know where the vendors to sell you player housing decor are located? We have good news and bad news, both of which can be delivered in a single word: EVERYWHERE.

Can you wish for the perfect #Hearthstone card? You'd better hope so because this week's Tavern Brawl is the Three Wishes brawl, where you can win with some RNG and a wish or two (or three).

A new Mists of Pandaria Classic phase? In this economy?! The Thunder King returns on December 9.

Get ready to head back to Outland for the first time: #WoW Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary Edition pre-patch launches on January 13, so you can dust off on your early Blood Elf lore in person before heading into Midnight. (Or just play more Classic. It's up to you.)

All WoW servers are now back online from maintenance — we've made it through another Tuesday!

The War Within servers are back online from maintenance, and that means we have new Legion Remix content to enjoy, so I hope you're ready to head to Argus and venture into Antorus, the Burning Throne. (It's burning with fel fire, it counts.)

The War Within servers are now back online, so enjoy storming the castle! (This week, the castle is Antorus.)

Standing in the way of me and BlizzCon tickets...

Mists of Pandaria Classic is back online, if that's your thing. Other Classic realms are offline for another hour, The War Within realms are offline for another two hours. (At least that's what's planned.) We'll keep you updated!

BlizzCon 2026 tickets are now on sale, so grab 'em while you can!

We're gearing up for the holiday season with another unexpected cute favorite: the turkey. (I said what I said.)

So, uh, there's maintenance today per usual, but uhhh cloudflare, so our site is down. Here's hoping by the time you click this it works?

It's World of Warcraft's 21st birthday, and I don't really want to think about that too closely, but there are prizes and bonus XP to earn so you may want to get to work on that while aggressively ignoring the passage of time.

It's a new week and we're all playing catch up by blaming the void. (It's probably the void's fault, somehow.) So here's a rundown of last week's news and what's coming up this week, before the void gets you, too.

NO I AM NOT OVERREACTING! I am just talking about transmog (or the lack thereof) on this week's Blizzard Watch Podcast in a totally normal, reasonable way. Absolutely normal. (This is in the post-show, but we cover this during the show, too.)

We're all chasing the solution in which nobody dies. Which is what every #TTRPG party says just before things go sideways. Let's see how this one goes as we play #Starfinder 2e on Tavern Watch this week!

We're excited to watch the Indie Game Awards December 8! We are definitely not weighing in on the definition of indie though.

Want quiet neighbors? Look no further than plot 20 on Founder's Point! Tour today! Please. They say I can't leave until someone takes my place.

If you don't play a Blood Elf Paladin, you might not know Liadrin's whole history. Here are the highlights as we make our way past the cinematic and into Midnight.

We love a good ominous hum. It's only maybe trying to devour us, but it's such a pleasant sound. Assuming our souls have not been sucked into the endless void, you can listen to the full discussion on this week's Blizzard Watch Podcast, which is now live!

We're loving Winter Burrow, which lets us play a survival game without bashing zombies in the face with baseball bats. Conversely, we're loving Winter Burrow for being a cute, cozy game but with real survival elements (especially the cold!)

Fortunately I'm always overwhelmed by anxiety, so this creature's attempt to induce paralyzing anxiety definitely won't work. Catch the full episode of Tavern Watch Plays this week, where we're playing #Starfinder 2e. Tune in now for the first episode of our sci-fi adventure!

Are you in the #WoW Midnight beta test? If so, we have some tips on what to do when you're testing — besides bug reporting every dog you can't pet, which is obvious to anybody. (With apologies to the QA people reading all of my bug reports.)

In this weeks #Hearthstone Brawl, just pick a card, any card! No, seriously, that's the whole premise of this brawl.

It's official: patch 11.2.7 is releasing December 2! We kinda already figured that out with the Player Housing release already slated for that day, but I like the whole mystique thing, too. blizzardwatch.com/2025/11/12/w...

Sanctuary is a pretty awful place, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Heavens had a bug zapper for human souls. This and more discussion of life and death (and life) in #Diablo on this week's Lore Watch Podcast, which is now live!

Do you need more games to play? No? Well, bad news: there's another Steam sale going on.

The Midnight beta test is really (really) live now, at least if you can get past the login queues and lag, so I hope you're ready to file some bug reports because I can't be the only person bug reporting the dogs and cats you can't pet.

Blizzard has just launched the #WoW Midnight beta, let me just read the patch notes ... 😱

We have the login screen for #Midnight! There's a kind of white noise with a deeper, ominous sound beneath it. No music yet.

This new Twitch Drop looks cozy, though I don't know if I'd wear it out and about in Orgrimmar. But whether you'd wear a bright purple sweatsuit in public or not, you can collect it right now by watching #WoW streams on Twitch!

Severs are back online, right on time! Have fun storming the castle, everybody! (The castle is whatever you want it to be.)

We have a slightly longer maintenance o'clock for all versions of WoW this week. We're expecting Midnight beta to begin later today, so there's a lot of tense waiting to be had all around.

Thank you so much to everyone who entered with their great neighborhood vacation spots! Congrats to @darkwynds.bsky.social (who recommended Founder's Point plot 18 or 8 and @mbuhtz.bsky.social (who recommended Founder's Point plot 46)! These were their vacation suggestions (very different vibes)!

it is time o'clock on a monday, so we have a whole lot of very cute animals to get you through. Be careful how hard you hug these little cuties though!

Here's what we're looking forward to this week (spoiler: BETA!!!) and everything that happened last week. Grab a coffee and let's hit the ground running this Monday.

I don't know if there's more hopium (or copium) for Heroes of the Storm or for Yrel in this week's Blizzard Watch Podcast. You're going to have to make that call for yourself. Listen to the full podcast for this week's Heroes of the Storm Hopium segment — it's live right now, so get your hopes up.

Don't forget! You still have a day to enter our contest to win a Midnight Epic Edition key!

The light be our guide... Well. In the form of cool, Light-centric transom's , anyway.

So what would happen if Xal'atath actually got the Sunwell? This is one of those bits of Azerothian lore that we honestly don't know (and we know a lot about Azerothian lore). This and more discussion of the Sunwell in the latest Lore Watch podcast, which is now live!
