Welcome to our roundup of the week ahead! We’re here to help you navigate through a diverse selection of popular, recommended, and lesser-known actual play streams, shows, and podcasts. Please keep in mind that these listings are simply suggestions, but rest assured, they’ll provide you with thrilling adventures, fascinating characters, and immersive storytelling.
This week brings forth two highly anticipated events that deserve your attention. First up, the series finale of the long-standing Rivals of Waterdeep. After five years of captivating storytelling, Rivals of Waterdeep will be concluding its epic journey on its monumental 15th season. This remarkable actual play series has stood as a shining example of representation, showcasing BIPOC voices at the table. Starting its production under the banner of Wizards, the show later transitioned to independent production in 2021, steadfastly continuing its narrative with the support of dedicated fans. Unfortunately, the sponsorship from Wizards fully dropped in 2022, but the resilient team persevered, determined to complete the final two and a half seasons through their raised funds. Whether you’re an old friend of Rivals or you’ve only heard whispers on the wind, stop by their series finale on Sunday @ 10 AM PST on Twitch to share in a moment of fond farewell.
