Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.

I was pretty excited when I saw that a pre-order incentive for the new Ravenloft book was going to be Shadows of Sithicus, which is also the scenario that will be the basis for the newly revamped D&D Encounters public play program to support their new seasonal model. The reason for my excitement was that this is the name of a very well done Ravenloft scenario from Dragon Magazine issue # 351 in the 3rd edition era. My mind started speculating on all the cool connections we might see. Is this going to be a 5e remake of that scenario? Or will it be a continuation? Well now that it has been out for a bit, I have had a chance to look this new scenario over, and it turns out it is something I did not expect. Tune in to hear my thoughts overall and a side by side comparison of the 2 similarly titled adventures.
