A Chess Bully Opens an Inn

The Immortal Game

Welcome to Echoes of: The Wandering Inn, where the levelling never stops. This week, we're covering Chapter 32: The Immortal Game. After one of the series' most emotional chapters, The Wandering Inn slows down... but only on the surface. A simple game of chess becomes something far more significant as grief, understanding, and quiet determination ripple far beyond the board. What begins as two players making moves soon has unexpected witnesses, impossible questions, and consequences that neither player could have predicted. Join Geoff and Paul as they explore one of the most beautifully written chapters in Volume 1, unpack the symbolism, marvel at Pirateaba's storytelling, and probably spend far too long talking about chess despite neither of them being particularly good at it.

Wow! Those are some BIG Emotions

Welcome to Echoes of: The Wandering Inn, where the levelling never stops. This week, we're diving into Chapter 31, and... wow. Pirateaba decided it was time to emotionally damage us. After the devastating events of the previous chapter, Erin finds herself face-to-face with the Antinium in a way no Human ever has before. What follows is less about swords and monsters, and more about grief, misunderstanding, empathy, and seeing the world through someone else's eyes. It's a chapter that completely reshapes how we think about one of the most mysterious races in the series, while giving us some of the most heartfelt conversations we've seen so far. Join Geoff and Paul as they try to hold it together, discuss one of the biggest perspective shifts in the story so far, and inevitably get sidetracked into a few ridiculous tangents along the way.

This [Ice Cream] is Crazy!

Welcome to Echoes of: The Wandering Inn, where the levelling never stops. This week, Geoff Lalonde and Paul Morris dive into Chapters 27 and 28, where the world keeps getting bigger, stranger, and somehow even more entertaining. From unexpected encounters and memorable conversations to one particularly mind-blowing frozen treat, these chapters deliver a great mix of humour, worldbuilding, and character growth. We chat about some fascinating new faces, the expanding scope of the story, and a few moments that had us laughing, theorizing, and wondering what on earth is going to happen next. As always, The Wandering Inn manages to balance heartfelt moments, absurd comedy, and just enough mystery to keep us hooked.

The Awkward Chess Club

Welcome to Echoes of: The Wandering Inn, where the levelling never stops. In this episode, Geoff Lalonde and Paul Morris dive into Chapter 26, where an unlikely gathering begins to take shape at The Wandering Inn. What starts as a simple shared interest quickly becomes a wonderfully awkward social experiment as individuals who would never normally spend time together find themselves seated around the same table. We explore the growing connections between characters, the barriers they bring with them, and the small moments that slowly begin to bridge some very large divides. Along the way, there are plenty of laughs, uncomfortable silences, surprising conversations, and a reminder that friendship can appear in the most unexpected places. Chapter 26 is equal parts wholesome, hilarious, and quietly important as the inn starts becoming more than a building. It's becoming a place where people who shouldn't get along might actually learn to.
