Shield Wall Podcasts

by Shield Wall Productions

Welcome to the Shield Wall! Here you'll find podcasts covering all varieties of tabletop hobby, background lore, nerdy stuff as a whole, and of course tangents aplenty! We're the funniest people we know, and now, because someone thought it was a good idea to let us have everything we need to make podcasts and leave us unsupervised, we're bringin' the comedy to you! So tune in as we laugh at ourselves, occasionally bicker, and get into endless tabletop shenanigans across multiple different game systems, and even have little moments where we wax poetically about the philosophies of fictional characters/universes before the moment is suddenly shattered by a rampaging joke.Welcome to Shield Wall, brace for ruckus!
