Storygaming Mom Ep.49 - I Drown in Boreas Harbor
I head back to Kul Tiras with Jaina to open up the Battle for Azeroth expansion, which I haven't done. I want to see the raids! In fact, I bumble into one briefly, before dying ridiculously (as usual). Too fun!

Storygaming Mom Ep.48 - I Hang with the Dragons
In this case, doing an old Cataclysm questline bit for a Legendary weapon, a staff awarded by the blue dragons! This section involves running the Nexus with Tarecgosa, who is impressed with merely mortal me.
Storygaming Mom Ep.47 - I Fail to Understand an Axe
In which I continue to remember random bits of trivia about the vanilla WoW experience that I had long since forgotten... but I do make it to level 7! And I'm not dead yet!
Storygaming Mom Ep.46 - I Take a Tour of a Foundry
...and admire its color scheme and cool trains and conveyer belts! This is the last of the Draenor raids on my list, Blackrock Foundry, and it was cool! Next up, the rest of the Legion raids I've left unrun!
Storygaming Mom Ep.45 - I End Up In Yet Another Ogre Coliseum
Doing old raids again, this time Warlords of Draenor's Highmaul. A very relaxing stroll through a wartorn village full of ogres and zombies! Join me!
(What do you like more, the old content, or the hardcore content? I can't decide what's more interesting. I guess it's all sort of old content...)

Storygaming Mom Ep.44 - I Agonize over 61 Copper Pieces
Which is exactly the cost of a mining pick. It was that pick or a spell. No, seriously, do you know how poor my character is in hardcore wow?? But at least I've made it to level 5! Let's see if I survive the Fargodeep Mine!
Storygaming Mom Ep.43- I Try WoW Hardcore!
Will I die playing WoW Hardcore? Let's find out, in Elwynn Forest! My number one observation so far: it is awful, being poor in the World of Warcraft...! Lol!

Storygaming Mom Ep.33 - I Drop By Ragnaros's Place in the Firelands
...this Cataclysm raid is like a fancier version of Molten Core. But at least we can ride through it! Take a tour with me through the Firelands while I wonder what the artists were thinking when someone said "yes, we're doing yet another fire-themed raid, whatcha got for us?"

Storygaming Mom Ep.32 - I Finally Make a Dragon Character!
And check out some of the drachthyr starting content. As usual, I get distracted by rubbish in the rooms. I had no idea dragons like quilted mattresses!

Storygaming Mom Ep.30 - I Go Junketing Around the Dragon Isles
Eternal tourist, that would be me...! I finally unlocked flying and go collect a few glyphs while explaining the flight system in the expansion, and what struck me as cool about it. Plus we look at gorgeous scenery. As usual. Did you know you can see individual flowers in the groundcover? Let me show you!

Storygaming Mom Ep.29- I Die (A Lot) in the Throne of Thunder
I've never done any of the Pandaria raids, so I picked the apparently hardest one and died several times getting through it! Also, too many daggers have eyes on them. Ugh! But still, a fantastic stroll!

Storygaming Mom Ep.28 - I Kill Onyxia and Nefarian! Again!
Why won't this family stay dead? I check out Blackwing Descent, which is a beautifully designed raid with some great visual details. Top marks for the art team!

Storygaming Mom Ep.26 - I Visit Kael'Thas, and the Muppets
Sounds like a great band, honestly. Kael'thas and the Muppets. Anyway, I do a little Sha'tari rep while wondering when and how Blizzard would end the World of Warcraft franchise, and then make a quick stop at Netherstorm to listen to Kael'Thas's monologue.
This one's got a lot of musing about game design and story planning!

Storygaming Mom Ep.25 - I Express Indignation at the Lich King
Decided to run Icecrown Citadel which was as epic as I thought it would be, with lots of interesting scripted battles (which I enjoy while wondering what the architectural needs are of a fortress built for undead). That ending, though. _shakes head_

Storygaming Mom Ep.23 - I Get Lost (Again) Looking for Sargeras
My first peek into the Antorus raid... I'm impressed by the scripting they did for this one! It's immersive without forcing you to wait through long periods of dialogue. So far, anyway...

Storygaming Mom Ep.22 - I Get Lost on the Waking Shores
...looking for Valdrakken.
On foot.
I don't find it, but the scenery's gorgeous!

Storygaming Mom Ep.20 - I Question Jaina's Relationship Choices
While looking for the Icecrown Citadel raid I stumble onto the three dungeons lower down and decide to jog through them. To my delight, they tell a specific story about Jaina and the raid on the facility! So we talk our way through that, along with different ways of engaging with enormously complex canons with no clear entry points.

Storygaming Mom Ep.18 - I Get My Kill Stolen by Illidan!
Okay, and I also rescue the Shal'dorei by following the final steps of the Suramar questline into the Nighthold and watching Gul'dan die (again? How many times has this guy died already??). This was an epic questline, one of the most satisfying I've done in WoW!
This is a long one, though, because in typical storygaming mom fashion, I tumbled into a raid and even though I was tired I was determined to get to the end to see What Happened Next...

Storygaming Mom Ep.17 - I Question the Morality of Bear Murder
Despite it (and my character) being around since Classic, I have never raised my reputation with the furbolg of Timbermaw Hold. I investigate the questline which... apparently doesn't have a satisfactory ending, while wondering about bear murder, my character's motivations in riding a nightmare, and how you pronounce dwarven names.

Storygaming Mom Ep.16 - I Amble Through a Battle in Mount Hyjal
The Mount Hyjal raid is full of oddly unfinished looking nooks and crannies, so I wander through it and wonder at the rationale behind things that look like empty quest hubs. We also talk about whether the Tauren eat meat and why Jaina is taller than Thrall. Also: who is the postmaster? And why does he always pick up my trash?

Storygaming Mom Ep.15 - I Fall Off a Pipe in Naxxramas
Having never seen Naxx (neither when it was new in classic, nor when it returned in Wrath), I have decided to pay a visit to the floating ziggurat of doom... where I am forced to kill horses. *sob*
At least I also got to kill undead! 💪

Storygaming Mom Ep.14 - I Get Grumpy at Black Temple Party-Goers
I jog through the ruins of the Black Temple while pondering what makes people decide demon-summoning is a good idea when it also summons holy priests to stop them.

Storygaming Mom Ep. 13 - I Embark on a Siege!
I have to know what happens next with Thalyssra and the attack on Suramar... so I head off to meet Khadgar for the siege! As usual, things do not go as planned, but luckily they have me to protect them.
If you like livestreams, I do these over at twitch at mcahogarth. Come say hi!
