Join Rey, Gerald, Toasty, and new patron, Wesley, as the Tavern celebrates its 3-Year Anniversary by deep diving into one of the Old World&#39;s trifecta of devious characters; the original lich lord himself, Nagash! Tonight, the boys will learn the depths of one&#39;s pettiness and how that can spell disaster for absolutely EVERYONE involved!

55 - The Skeletor Of Warhammer Fantasy! NAGASH!

The Tavern is flooding! It&#39;s a race to the roof as Gerald and Rey attempt a ritual to divert the faulty plumbing water into another realm! This time, the ritual involves an episode centered around the Drowned Kin of Age of Sigmar! Expect many a fish joke, but even more clashes between lumineth, and idoneth, and durchiieth. That&#39;s just a lotta -eths!

54 - If Pirates Of The Caribbean And Aquaman Had A Faction...Ahoy! The Idoneth Deepkin!

Thanks to his tough elven biology (and a few helpful gifts from Tavern apothecary Gerald), Rey is back on his feet and ready to spin a new tale from the wonderful world of Warhammer Age of Sigmar! Joining is Pirate King Scalecoch as he returns from his tavern crawl just in time to dunk on duardin and take names! And he&#39;s all out of names...

53 - By The Power Of Ur-Gold, We Shall Have The POWER...To Reforge Our God...THE FYRESLAYERS!

REY IS SICK! In a desperate bid to help his cohost and stop the spread of plague, Gerald and Alfred shut down the Tavern! Too bad Toasty got locked out in the process! But fret not! Pirate King Dungle has just arrived to sweep Toasty up into an adventure of their own making! A bar hopping of epic proportions! Joining in the mayhem is Dungle&#39;s ahem &#34;Culinary Consultant&#34;, the halfling Giuseppe!

Tavern Lore - Bar Hopping!

On this episode of GrimLore, Reyway goes to school! Specifically the Raya Lucaria Academy of magic! Joining him is Toasty and Rayne acting as bodyguards against the many dangers of the Lands Between and stowing along for the ride is Arcane Daddy as he tries to join Reyway as a fellow classmate. Plot twist, however! Our dwarven host is a guest teacher at the academy as well! Many shenanigans will be had, and many more runes will be lost!

Strange things are happening in the Tavern! Amid celebrations for the 50th numbered episode, a certain Verminlord found it funny to leave the most dangerous object in the cosmos in the kitchens for a hapless dwarven host to discover! For this special episode, the boys dive into THE cosmic horror setting, the Cthulhu Mythos! Thank you so much for 50 episodes, and prepare for 50 more, for we have barely scratched the surface of all that is grim and dark in the cosmos!

Another Evangelion Angel has fallen! But Gerald, Rey, and Arcane Daddy have been flung to a new reality in the process! Join the boys at GrimLore as they soon find themselves on our very own moon under control of Destiny&#39;s THE HIVE! Reyway leads the trio on a raid of epic and godlike proportions to return home with the recovered Spear of Longinus and bring back an old friend...

What&#39;s this? ANOTHER Angel attack?? Not if the GrimLore Tavern has anything to say about it! Shouldering the burden in a hastily put together Daemon Engine...we mean Eva...is Toasty having the time of his unlife, and working in the background are Rey, Arcane Daddy, Grandmaster Rayne, and Gerald as they forge a Spear of Longinus to put the Angel down for good! In the meantime, enjoy a continuation of Rayne&#39;s tale concluding the original run of Neon Genesis Evangelion!

The boys at the GrimLore Tavern are celebrating the defeat of their first Evangelion Angel! Gerald is preparing the food and drink, and Rey has a new topic of which to spin fantastical tales! With the ear of a weary (and stuffed) Toasty, Rayne, and Arcane Daddy, the boys will learn of the Empire of Grand Cathay! Conveniently in time for the announcement of tiger beastmen in Total Warhammer III!

47 - Now All Of Cathay Knows You're Here!!

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/3/21/15/e12610c2-d10d-4dfb-8dbd-f0d6b230434b_grimlore_46_-_evangelion.mp3

The boys at GrimLore get a couple of unexpected visitors to the Tavern! One of them a welcomed patron ready to lead an episode on a wild ride! The other...might be an Angel come to wreak havoc! But be not afraid! Rayne, our grandmaster monk of Chaos Undivided, will teach Gerald, Rey, Toasty, and Arcane Daddy how to handle these menaces!

Another Dungle Cruise, another happy crash! This time, the boys at GrimLore arrive in the mythical (and very British) country of Albion! Due to scheduling chicanery, Gerald gets to break form and lead a new episode!

Join the boys at the GrimLore Tavern as Rey teaches Gerald more about his dwarven past...and his shameful cousins, the chaos dwarfs! Along for the ride are the Khornate kroxigor Toasty and the verminlord Arcane Daddy who demonstrate the all-corrupting nature of both Chaos and how the Tavern just brings out the worst in everyone!

44 - When Hashut Has A Grudge, Who You Gonna Call? THE CHAOS DWARFS!

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/2/5/4/69c1053a-601c-4602-a391-90d98bb8ebf4_grimlore_43_-_stalker.mp3

Have YOU ever experienced that sense of existential dread comprehending the world around you? What about understanding your place in the infinite reality that is our blue marble screaming across a desolate void? Fret not! Taking the reins this episode is the newly minted Verminlord (and patron) Arcane Daddy as he teaches the boys at GrimLore the grim universe of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series and related media!

Rey has an idea only an elf could make! Which could potentially mean a LOT of problems for the Tavern!
