Class Warfare: Warlocks. A 5e Holiday Extravaganza! (Episode 264)

Author: Tabletop Journeys January 30, 2026 Duration: 55:22

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the plane... four warlocks were summoned to end Santa's reign! 🔥❄️


Something is WRONG at the North Pole. An evil entity is draining power from the very patrons that grant warlocks their abilities! Now four unlikely heroes, bound to the Great Old One, the Archfey, a Fiend, and a Celestial, must team up to stop this mechanical menace before it's too late.


⚡ What happens when you combine:

Four 10th-level warlocks who've NEVER met before 🔮

A mysterious snowy battlefield surrounding a suspicious workshop ❄️

Exploding toy-making gnomes with a DEADLY surprise 🎁💣

Flying mechanical reindeer with glowing red noses 🦌✨


Answer: The most CHAOTIC Christmas combat you've ever seen!


Join DM Josh and an all-star cast featuring Sergio from the D&D Lorecast, Michael K. Ross, Mike Daniel, and Lewanika Miller as they bring holiday destruction to new levels. Watch as walls of fire turn the battlefield into an inferno, clouds of daggers shred through enemies, and four strangers learn to work together against an unknown evil!


This isn't your grandma's Christmas special (unless your grandma casts Eldritch Blast). This is CLASS WARFARE, where we test the limits of D&D's most powerful subclasses in deadly holiday combat!


⚠️ This is PART 1 of our epic 2-part Christmas special! The battle is just beginning...


Perfect for:


D&D players looking for warlock build inspiration

TTRPG fans who love holiday-themed chaos

Anyone who wants tactical combat with epic stakes

Groups planning their own festive one-shots

Three longtime friends, with a combined century of experience around the gaming table, invite you into their ongoing conversation. Tabletop Journeys is a podcast born from decades of shared history, not just as gamers but as people who have spent a lifetime thinking deeply about the worlds we create together. You’ll hear the easy, often hilarious dynamic of a group that has played in and run every kind of tabletop and live-action roleplaying game imaginable. Their discussions are the kind that usually happen late at night, after the dice are put away, where ideas get pulled apart, rebuilt, and passionately debated. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in one of those living rooms, listening in as they dissect everything from game mechanics and storytelling techniques to the unexpected life lessons found in collaborative imagination. It’s less a formal review show and more a chronicle of a lifelong journey through games, packed with the kind of insight and friendly argument that only comes from truly knowing your fellow travelers. Tune into this podcast for a natural, deep, and often very funny exploration of why we play.
