Friends for much longer than any of them care to admit, your three hosts bring extensive RPG experience from even before they met. For almost 100 years combined, they have played in and ran tabletop and live action games of every stripe. Since then, they have discussed, argued, kibitzed, broken down, built up, rearranged, and dissected every imaginable topic, frequently in living rooms in front of horrified onlookers who couldn't get a word in edgewise. The Tabletop Journeys project started as friends wanting to get together over Zoom to talk about the games they were running, they stuff that they had bought, and things that they thought were cool. And now, we hope that you do too!

Class Warfare: Barbarians, Part 2 (Episode 260)

⚔️ THE TEMPLE HAS FALLEN. THE WORLD IS CRYSTALLIZING. THE BATTLE HAS ONLY BEGUN. ⚔️


In Part 1, four barbarian champions discovered they aren't celebrating heroes from 880 years ago, they ARE those heroes, trapped in the moment that forged the legend.


Now, in the crystallized ruins of the sacred temple, the real fight begins.

💀 The creature multiplies with every strike.

⚡ Each duplicate is as deadly as the last.

🌪️ Reality itself warps around them.

🔥 And the barbarians have only one choice: RAGE HARDER.


The orc zealot channels divine fury. The beast master unleashes primal strength. The world tree guardian draws on ancestral magic. The aquatic berserker wields his sentient trident. But will legendary weapons and indomitable will be enough against an enemy that grows stronger the more you hurt it?


As beams of crackling energy connect the multiplying horrors and the crystallization spreads, the champions must push their abilities to the absolute limit. Every attack spawns a new threat. Every moment brings them closer to being overwhelmed. The fate of their clans hangs in the balance.


⚡ Featuring:


Escalating cosmic horror combat

Desperate tactical decisions under pressure

Every barbarian subclass pushed to its limits

Natural 20s and Natural 1s at the worst possible moments

Multiple creature duplications creating exponential danger

A conclusion that will leave you speechless

Post-game analysis of Michael's mind-bending scenario design


🎲 The thrilling conclusion to our most intense Class Warfare episode!

Class Warfare 11: Barbarians (Part 1)

⚔️ FOUR CLANS. FOUR CHAMPIONS. ONE ANCIENT TEMPLE. SOMETHING IS VERY, VERY WRONG. ⚔️

Every ten years, the barbarian clans gather to celebrate the legendary champions who united them 880 years ago. This year, four warriors are chosen—each the strongest of their people, each wielding a legendary weapon of immense power.

🏔️ An orc zealot with divine fury burning in his veins...

🐻 A human beast master who speaks to the wild...

🌳 An elven world tree guardian with ancestral magic...

🌊 An aquatic goliath berserker whose trident whispers secrets...

Their task seems simple: place the final stone atop the sacred temple in the valley where it all began. But when the capstone locks into place, reality... shifts.

The temple they built vanishes. The forest transforms into something alien. And rising from a pool of glowing purple liquid is a creature that shouldn't exist, a fractal horror that defies comprehension, multiplying with every strike.

⚡ Featuring:

Epic legendary weapon reveals

Intense barbarian roleplay

Mind-bending cosmic horror

Strategic combat against an impossible foe

A cliffhanger that will leave you desperate for Part 2

🎲 Class Warfare is our series where we spotlight a single D&D class each month. We showcase different subclasses, unique builds, and the incredible diversity each class offers. This is barbarian month, and we're going FULL RAGE.

Tabletop Journeys
Friends for much longer than any of them care to admit, your three hosts bring extensive RPG experience from even before they met. For almost 100 years combined, they have played in and ran tabletop and live action games of every stripe. Since then, they have discussed, argued, kibitzed, broken down, built up, rearranged, and dissected every imaginable topic, frequently in living rooms in front of horrified onlookers who couldn't get a word in edgewise. The Tabletop Journeys project started as friends wanting to get together over Zoom to talk about the games they were running, they stuff that they had bought, and things that they thought were cool. And now, we hope that you do too!
