Thanks for listening!

Another fan request! Thanks again for listening!

This may be the most fun I have had recording an episode to date... you could say it was... a Blast to record.  Warning there are a few... loud bits.

This was another fan request! Thanks again for listening.  I will continue to release on Saturdays it may just be later in the day.

Another fan request!

My throat is still recovering but here is a fan request!  Lore page didn't have story for Shaco and my throat did what it could for this episode!

Thanks for listening!

Hello friends, I was out last week with a bad throat, and I am still feeling pretty bad this week.  I hate to leave y'all hanging though so here is short story to tide you over for next week!  I hope to be healed up by then!  Have a safe and fun Halloween, All Saints Day, Dia de los Muertos, or what ever you celebrate this time of year.

Another fan request here! Thanks for listening! I hope you can move out of the darkness of your own life and find a light that brings you hope!

MOOOAAAARRR Bilgewater champs!  What champs do you want to see next?! 

YOU ASKED FOR BILGEWATER CONTENT! YOU GOT IT! Thanks for listening we will catch you next week!

Another fan request! Thanks again for following along with my little fan project.  May the Sun shine on your faces and paths of hope lift you up!

Another fan request of the perfectly balanced q spammed champ!! Thanks for listening y'all are great!

We continue our read of Child of Zaun.  One more after this one and it will be done! Thanks for listening.

Another fan request, luckily more than just you can hear me summoner!  Thanks again for listening to my little project here.  If you are interested in catching the continuation of the Child of Zaun story, it will be releasing on its own shortly after this episode drops.

Another fan request, indirectly!  I have been asked to read "Child of Zaun" which is quite the sizeable read!  So I have combined it with Urgot.  Thanks for listening!

I actually have quite the list of champs to work through thanks to your suggestions!  Nasus came up from one of y'all and so I am starting with him, plus I love ancient librarian guardian characters.  So here he is!

I will be getting Child of Zaun, Sona, Yi and all the others queue'd up and ready to release soon.  Thanks for all your support!

8 legged seductress... the Lady Elise enters our library... ENJOY!

Yet ANOTHER fan request, thanks for all yall that listen.  Tell your friends if you think they would like the podcast :)

Another fan request!  The format of the story is a string of stories so I have separated them in the narration with a weighted pause between them.  Thanks for listening!

If you have friends you think would enjoy this, please share! 

G'day! I know I say it for almost every episode but, this is a really incredible story and backdrop for the unfolding story of Shurima and Runeterra.  Its incredible.

Little late getting out to day but here y'all go! First week of school for me was a lot.  My daughter Gwendolyn woke up while I was recording and closed out our podcast today with me.

Thanks for Listening!

Another fan request!  Thanks again for all of y'all that have been listening... I am blown away by the conversations I have been having with many of you.  So many kind words. 

Drop that review if you think the cast is worth it, to the 37 or such on Spotify thanks! To the six or so of you on Applepodcasts thanks! And thanks to everyone else that has liked and shared etc. 

A listener request, thank you to everyone who has reached out with suggestions, I will be slowly working through them.  Thank you! Share like, rate, review, whatever you do. 

That is perhaps the longest epithet to date on this show, good gravy.  Also... saying "Singed's" is one of the most difficult reading things I have had to read.  Regardless, HERE HIS IS WARWICK WOLFBOY.

This was a special request from my friend and listener Andrew, he is a dice maker in his free time! #NOTSPONSORED check out his etsy shop and instagram both under @HonorRollsDice 

Wow!  Champion episode number 50!  Thanks for taggin' along! 

A thought provoking story for us this week!  How often do we ponder death in a positive sense?  I don't know that the obsession with death which Karthus displays is... healthy.  For sure though this week makes me think of the saying, Momento Mori (transl: remember that you [have to] die).

Thanks for listening! Leave a rating on the podcast platform you listen on and share with your friends if you enjoy what I'm doing here! Thanks again.

Another fun story written by Anthony Reynolds this week!  Jump into the depths of the sea and the dark encroaching horrors of the black of the deep oceans... don't forget to pay your tithe to the Bearded Lady.

Thanks for all your support! If you like the podcast tell your friends about it, and if I haven't done their favorite champ yet, just let me know!

Another fan request thanks Tyler for hittin' me up.  Sion it is, there is some good ol' dark family vengeance goin' on here.  I hope you enjoy!  I think I am going to do a bit of an undead theme for this month.  If you want to make a request for a champ hit me up on social media or leave me a review with your opinion and the request!

If you think its worth it and other people would enjoy it, like, share and review.  It helps!

We are back and kicking off the next season with a couple fan requests beginning with Viego!  I am thankful for y'all letting me have a break.  We have another fan request next week as well.  Leave a review in apple podcasts with a request or share and tag me on social media with your request I love doing them!

@ravynhood on all platforms.

Here to serve the League community and Casters in every way I can.  Today that looks like a Volibear episode! I think I am really going to love the next few episodes because they are in the deep creation myths of Runeterra and that is some of my favorite literature ever!  I actually have an entire creation myth tattooed on my arm... good stuff.  ENJOY!

Thanks for joining me this weekend!  

0ne. Two. Three. FOUR! Shall we dance dear listener?  For today is we hear the story requested by you! Khada Jhin!

Enjoy! Leave me a review in your podcast provider! It helps me get better :)

So a super short episode today! Not my intention but there is no short story on Zed's page on the Nexus Universe!  So I have it here and have take 3 minutes to ask y'all a question I genuinely would appreciate your answer to.  Take some time and answer it in a review where ever you listen to your podcasts or if you can't do that hit me up on the socials @Ravynhood.

Thanks again!

Omae wa mou SHEN-deiru.... ok I am terrible.  I suffer from punning.  This month we are going to explore characters from the Jhin story! Starting with Shen!  

Thanks for listening, share, rate and review...

Sett up to win today! ... oof... the dad jokes reign. Thanks to my co-host of the Gamer Alchemy podcast Elliot for this weeks suggestion.  Hope you all have a great week and we will see you on the flip-side!

If you have a moment I appreciate your feedback and reviews.  Leave'em where ever you listen to your podcasts and thanks again!

Turns out I share the same birthday week as the Eternal Darkness!  It's outta nowhere but I enjoy the darker edges of reflection.  Maybe you do too!  Thanks for listening, if you like what I'm doing let your friends know and leave a review where ever you are listening.

You belong in a museum!  Or maybe I do?  Who knows... Eez-- really happening!  Thanks for tuning in, enjoy this lore.  Share this episode if you enjoy it and leave us a review in your podcast provider, I make a point to regularly go and check those out.  I really appreciate them!

Shout out to Wolf550 who requested this over on their Apple Podcasts review, thank you friend!  I am really intrigued by the Ixtal and Vastaya in the League of Legends lore.  They seem to be, like the Yordels, the most unique among the Riot Games Universe creations.  Also... I kinda really like Rakan.  Anyway thanks for listening, any shares, reviews and ratings you give on your favorite app are really appreciated! 

Until next time watch out for doppelgangers!

Check out the other podcast in the Shyrwood Forest Network, Gamer Alchemy Podcast! 

Better late than never right? Good thing this podcast isn't run by Renata...  Today's story has so much to unpack in it and meditate on.  Regardless thanks for listening! Sorry this was a day late.

If you like D&D and Noxus we are mashing those two together over on the Gamer Alchemy Podcast.

Bye yall! 

Another great story this week for one of my other mains! Leona!  Thanks for listening, if you enjoy League of Legends and TTRPGs or other gaming in general check out the first episode of the new podcast Gamer Alchemy, cohosted by myself and Elliot "MooseCaptain" Menge that just dropped yesterday on all the same platforms as this.

As always your kind words and reviews help this little project of my reach the ears of other lore fans and helps me learn what I could do better thanks! and we'll catch you on the flipside.

Uuuuuuugh I guess I am too much of a normie to really get Vex.  But alas here she is!  Enjoy? Though that would be complete counter to everything that Vex *doesn't care* about.  Well enjoy!

Keep you ears and eyes out for the first episode of the Gamer Alchemy podcast dropping February 4th, where my co-host Elliot "MooseCaptain" Menge and I do mash ups of video games and TTRPGs... and so much more.  First episode is a D&D 5th edition conversion of Targon from Runeterra!

I built a website as a hub for my creative projects (many of them at least) you are welcome to check it out.  It's laying a little quiet right now because its the school year but I am planning to do more over the summer with the blog and lore content I write. https://ravynhood.wixsite.com/shyrwoodforest

Thanks again and stay gloomy?  No... find hope and life in something you enjoy that helps the world flourish... haha

DASHING ROGUE?! You're speaking my language! As "Ravyn Hood" I found the story of Akshan and his wresting with the right means of pursuing Justice to ring true with some of my own story!  Sorry I was a bit late today, I had a late night... recording episode for Shyrwood Network's new Gamer Alchemy Podcast!  Where my co-host Elliot "MooseCaptain" Menge and I mash together some of our favorite board games, video games, stories and lore.  Our first project to tackle is creating campaign settings for TTRPGs and the various Runeterra regions.

Thanks for listening.  Please rate and review SOR in your podcast provider so other folks can find it!  

TIME-STOP collaborate and listen... Too much?  If only I had as many do-overs as Ekko, the subject of this week's story!  Thanks for all the listeners, there are so many of you! Leave a rating in whatever platform you are listening it is really helpful.

If you enjoy TTRPGs and Game design keep an ear out for a new podcast I am co-hosting called the Gamer Alchemy Podcast, first episode is due to release in February.

I also have created a website where you can find all my random creative projects from this, to the Gamer Alchemy (when it releases), my fantasy map making, two ongoing Worldanvil projects, my random boardgame design projects, and more!  ravynhood.wixsite.com/shyrwoodforest  I am still kinda cheap so I haven't bought the domain yet so... yeah.

Thanks!

Look in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! NO! IT'S A GANK FROM A GOD-SLAYER!  Pantheon, or Atreus as he was once known, is the story this week.  TBH, the story this week was so hard to read because I kept tearing up... let's just say acts of valor in the face of insurmountable odds just get me.  The charge of the Rohirrim in Lord of the Rings at the battle of Pelenor (book and film) get me to.  

I hope you enjoy it too!  I also have an exciting announcement for another podcast in the works, my lil' daughter also makes a guest appearance during the outro, listen to the end.  And may your will be as unbreakable as Atreus'.

Rate and Review as you see fit (good ratings are helpful though)! Thanks again from me @Ravynhood

HAS YOUR SOUL SURVIVED THE TESTING OF 2021?! ARE YOU STILL IN MOTION?!

Well, I barely am but have come through the stronger for it, and I pray yours has too!  Thanks for joining me in this project, it has really been fun.  I am looking forward to see what we can do this coming year.

I have one podcast in the mix for y'all if you like TTRPGs and Games, more details on that once I have it nailed down.  Until next week though please leave a rating on your podcast provider, and hit me up @Ravynhood with any thoughts you have!

Happy New Year!

Time for the foxy lady!  This weeks story is Ahri, the Nine-tailed Fox.  Bit of a shout out to the folks that took the time to go over to Apple podcasts and write a review, thank you so much for the kind words.  They mean the world to me.  Happy holidays to all the folks out there, be safe and enjoy your communities!

If you like what I am doin' here throw a rating up over on apple podcasts or your own listening platform and share the podcast with friends!  You can also hit me up on Instagram and Twitter @Ravynhood

This episode is likely to keep you... spellbound. Unless you have a Black Shield I guess.  HA! See what I did there?  Thanks for joining me despite my terrible puns.  This week is the second in a listener request for the stories of the Winged Protector which are at the center of their League of Legends D&D campaign they are writing!  Pretty neat if you ask me.

Let me know your thoughts about the two sisters and their long rivalry and share who you would like to hear about next with the #storiesofruneterra or messaging me @ravynhood on instagram and twitter!

The Chained Warden and the Purifier face off while the Bearded Lady and the Bounty Hunter steel themselves as the Harrowing overruns Bilgewater.

I played with some voice effects in this one and recorded with a mild throat irritation... forgive me!  Thanks for joining me on this little foray into a neat story of Riot's.  I really enjoyed it and will be looking for opportunities to do so in the future for other stories.  Share what you think @Ravynhood or #storiesoftruneterra

What does it mean to render justice yet still exhibit mercy in repentance?  That be a deep question... that I am not tackling in this episode of Kayle!  I had one of y'all reach out and request Kayle and Morgana because you are running a D&D adventure set in Demacia!  First of all that is so cool. Second it tempts me to do LoL and D&D crossover content... we will see.  Morgana next week!

Thanks for listening and see you on Wednesday! Share with your buds, on your socials, rate and review! Catcha later!

Death riders step out to fight our ragged band of scoundrels in part three of our Ruined King story!  Thanks for listening in on these, there is one more after this week for the Shadow and Fortune story.

Let me know what you think with the #storiesofruneterra or messaging me on instagram or twitter @Ravynhood, and heck leave a review if you think the podcast is worth it!  I will figure out how to see those eventually.

Hammer time! And no, we are not in Bandlewood yet... it is the last of our Arcane themed character month as we listen to the story of Jayce!  Again, I don't think the Universe lore and Arcane are exactly in sync but I think that is fine, the show is still great and I like both version of Jayce.   Thanks for listening in and we are going to take a quick side quest for two weeks for some listener requests and then I will be jumping into a lot of the characters from the Ruined King game, which I am enjoying on the Switch.

Let me know what you think with #storiesofruneterra or @ravynhood on Instagram or Twitter

Catch'cha on the flipside.

The Harrowing comes to Bilgewater, what will our champions do!? The threads of destiny between our characters grow closer together in episode 2 of our bonus mini-series I am doing in the theme of the Ruined King game set in Bilgewater.  This story is Shadow and Fortune by Graham McNeill  This miniseries will set the stage for the events of the game.

Miniseries episodes release on Wednesdays in addition to the regular Saturday shows.  Currently it looks like we will have quite a few in the mini-series since these are some long stories.

Tell your friends about the podcast and use #storiesofruneterra to let me know what you think or hit my up at @ravynhood on instagram and twitter.

Here is the first episode of a bonus mini-series I am doing in the theme of the Ruined King game set in Bilgewater.  This miniseries will set the stage for the events of the game and possibly get you more hyped than you already are!

I will be releasing subsequent episodes of this miniseries on Wednesdays in addition to the regular Saturday shows.  Currently it looks like we will have quite a few in the mini-series since these are some long stories.

Wanna see a hat trick?  This week we hear the story of where Caitlyn got her iconic hat!  The main podcast is going to keep working through some of the main characters in the Netflix Arcane show, but I am excited to announce that I am putting out a mini-series highlighting the background of the new game Ruined King by Riot Forge.  Keep your eye out for those episodes for the next couple weeks, if you can bear a double dose of my antics.

Tell your friends about the podcast and share it on your social media with #storiesofruneterra you can give me feedback the same way. Let me know what you think of it!  Or tag me @ravynhood

A Halloween DOUBLE STORY special!  I did Fiddlesticks last year but doesn't mean you can't go listen to it. This year it is the hemomancer himself, Vladimir.  His story is not a jump scare type story just eerie, at least to me.  Forgive my mild cold, my family is getting over illness we caught.  Regardless this episode I played with some special effects again a little bit. Hope you enjoy it.

Let me know what you think!  If you enjoy League lore check out League of Loremasters and Necrit on the internet. They do more discussion and analysis.  I am on der insta and twit @Ravynhood I love to chat it up!

Thanks again for listening!

This week is a pair of entertainingly, or irritatingly, voiced champs!  Heim and Twitch are the champs that I can't resist jokingly imitating them whenever I play, within reason of course.  Just as a forewarning, Twitch's story is essentially a "report" so it reads a bit strangely, not as strange as the cheese he pulled out of the sewer the other day though...

If you have suggestions or just want to chat I am @Ravynhood on the Twit and the Insta.

Why hello there! This week we are jumping back in, I have four other episodes already recorded.  I didn't get the time to edit this one like I would have liked to but... I think I just needed to get started back up again!

Enjoy! You meeps... lol or am I a meep?

I am on twitter periodically @Ravynhood hit me up there, on anchor, or on Spotify!  Let me know what you think!

Good Morrow Travelers!  This month's stories are going to be one of the new champs, BECAUSE their named after my daughter! Gwen, the Hallowed Seamstress and Orianna, the Clockwork Lady.  Gwen the champ doesn't have a story but we are reading it anyway!  Gwen's origins has some wonderful threads of musing regarding hope.  I tend to like to reflect on stories, let me know if y'all enjoy my reflections.

I am on Instagram and twitter @Ravynhood so hit me up and share what your thoughts are or what champ/theme you want me to do next month! If you like this share it with your friends and spread the word there as well!

Hello friends! This month is a listener request, Adam hit me up on instagram and shared some gracious words with me! He in particular enjoys the story of the Darkin, the fallen Shuriman ascended. So we are checkin' out Aatrox and Kayn. Hope you enjoy it Adam! The stories this episode are by Michael McCarthy and Odin Austin Shafer.

I am on Instagram and twitter @Ravynhood so hit me up and share what your thoughts are. Please share this with your friends and spread the word there as well!

Sorry for the late return! A bunch of life things happened since the end of December and I had to level those out. New format and schedule. I will be doing longer episodes less often! So the second Tuesday of each month we will have a new episode out for you to enjoy. To kick off season 2 we will look at my old main, Darius, Hand of Noxus and LeBlanc, the Deceiver! Stories this episode were written by L J Goulding and Laura Michet.

This week I watched a lot of 80’s hair band live shows to prepare for this champ. It is Rell, the Iron Maiden! Rell’s trailer video was sick and I decided that I wanted to read her lore.  There are a lot of deep themes in Rell’s story that would be fascinating to process. I am also becoming more and more intrigued by this Pale Lady character. The short story this week was written by Jared Rosen.

Hullo friends!  This week I got a little more excited about the story of Swain because there is so many rabbit holes we could run down about philosophy and state craft when it comes to this guy... BUT that will have to wait because we are here for the stories.  Thanks for joining me in this fun little shindig and enjoy the Story of Swain!

I am on Instagram and twitter @Ravynhood so hit me up and share what your thoughts are. Please share this with your friends and spread the word there as well!

This one got... a bit darker and more existential than I anticipated!  I love it!  Amumu lands in a bot of the same storytelling style as Rammus.  Riot has painted him as a legend, or folktale.  Some kind of Myth within Runeterra.  I eat that stuff up! HOPEFULLY YOU DO TOO!

I was a bit under the weather for this one but it still seemed to come out ok.  Thanks for listening!

I am on Instagram and twitter @Ravynhood so hit me up and share what your thoughts are. Please share this with your League of Legends friends and spread the word there as well!

Rollin', rollin', rollin' keep them dogies rollin'!  It's Rammus time! ... That's, all I got for clever episode text today! Enjoy!

CAW SQUEEE! I am overextended in lane... there is the call of a bird.  I start to sweat, suddenly I AM BLIND and grey screen... Yes this week it is Quinn, Demacia's Wings!  This one is another fan request from a Quinn main.  God bless you... too much speed for this guy.  Hope all is going well with all of you!

I am on Instagram and twitter @Ravynhood so hit me up and share what your thoughts are. Please share this with your League of Legends friends and spread the word there as well!

Hello! Sorry for the late release!  This week I decided that we should grab one of the newer champs! So we have jumped into the Noxian mercenary, Samira.  And before you message me... yes... yes I know my impression of her is ghastly.  We can't do everything perfectly, even if this is the internet!  I like the vibe of Samira and frankly there are a great deal of awesome conversations to be had about Noxian politics and policy.  But that will be for another podcast someday... Hope you enjoy this one! 

I am on Instagram and twitter @Ravynhood so hit me up and share what your thoughts are. Please share this with your League of Legends friends and spread the word there as well!

This week's choice was elected by my wife! These two champs we both relate to and both really enjoy playing.   There is love, laughter, angst, and... hope.  We are not like them, miella.  Thanks for joining me this week!

I am on Instagram and twitter @Ravynhood so hit me up and share what your thoughts are. Please share this with your League of Legends friends and spread the word there as well.

A listener choice this week! Garen, Might of Demacia is the subject of our tale telling.  I had some fun with this episode this week!  Great story to read.  The story is a bit longer so we only did one this week.  I like the half-hour format better as well.  Thanks for listening and we will get together next week!

I am on Instagram and twitter @Ravynhood so hit me up and share what your thoughts are.  Please share this with your League of Legends friends and spread the word there as well.

This week... ROCKS.  We are reading the Runeterra Universe Lore of Malphite and Skarner.  Prepare your soul there are a few more overused puns like those 'cause its too easy and this is free content.  This episode has it all, two stories, insane voices and... singing?!  Some improved audio for the introduction.  

Thanks for coming along, I promise I won't sing too often so that y'all stay around for future episodes. This is my first crack at this thing called podcasting, and I am working out kinks with audio etc, I am no professional... yet.  I am planning to release an episode weekly late on Monday nights. So hang with me for a little bit as I learn.  I am on Instagram and twitter @Ravynhood so hit me up and share what your thoughts are.  Please share this with your League of Legends friends and spread the word there as well.

This episode is special, its a two-fer!  Today we are hearing the tales of Brand and Camille.  Brand's story is closely connected with Ryze's, both are beings of great power and are centuries old.  Camille's story is one of political intrigue and questionable power, film noir fans eat your heart out.   Here are their stories! Thanks for listening in on my goofy little pet project I am starting!
