The gradual erasure of cultural traditions
The loss of close family members, parental figures and friends
Natural disasters

Show Notes
This week, Fiona is joined by my friends from Roleplay Retcon, Alex, Ben and Jenise for City of Winter, a roleplaying game about a fantastical family saga and immigrant experience.
Designed by Ross Cowan and illustrated by Doug Keith, City of Winter is a story game which follows the journey of a family as they migrate from their home in the Riverlands to live in the City of Winter - a magical metropolis. Family members will age and die, traditions will be passed from one generation to the next, and the players will encounter new traditions that change the family over time.
You can find out more information about City of Winter and grab your own copy on The Heart of the Deericorn website.

Show Notes
This bonus episode comes from our sibling podcast, ‘The DM's Book Club?’, a weekly book club podcast about Dungeons and Dragons and how we might include it and improve it in our roleplaying campaigns. We read the books so you don't have to!
Originally released on The DM's Book Club? on 26th August 2026.
The hosts of The DM's Book Club proudly bring you a new limited series, The DM's Travel Book Club: Domains of Dread!
Inspired by the recent release of 'Ravenloft: The Horrors Within' and 'Van Richten's Guide To Ravenloft', Fiona and Hamilton take a harrowing tour through the darkest shadows of the multiverse, confronting the horrors, condemning the wicked, and braving to endless nightmares!
To start us off, our hosts journey to Barovia, the Domain of the First Vampire, and Borca, the Domain of Desire and Deceit!
Books discussed: 'Ravenloft: The Horrors Within' and 'Van Richten's Guide To Ravenloft' published by Wizards of the Coast, June 2026 and May 2021 respectively
