Join the boys at GrimLore for another zany episode of western sci-fantasies of yore! In Destiny, you will find many a gun. MANY. OF. THEM.

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.

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!

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!

46 - Be Not Afraid...BE TERRIFIED! The Angels (And World) Of Evangelion!
