Eldritch History: RPG Legends & Lore
Eldritch History is a podcast about the background, legends and lore of tabletop role playing games. Each episode focuses on a specific element of TTRPGs (a particular game, character, story, product, company, movie, etc) and explores its fictional and real world origins. Have you ever wondered where the Whispered One came from? Why the gorgon is a bull? Why are there so many games about Cthulhu? Then this is the podcast for you.
Eldritch History: RPG Legends & Lore
Vecna - The Whispered One
Vecna, The Whispered One, The Undying God
The reach of Vecna spreads far and wide across the multiverse. Vox Machina, the kids from Hawkins, Indiana, and countless adventurers have encountered him in one form or another.
Learn about his origins and history (both real and imagined) as well as the people and creatures that follow him and the items that they possess. Hear the dread tale of the Head of Vecna. And learn about the most recent sightings of the Maimed God or at least parts of him.
If you want to run an adventure with Vecna as the big bad I'd recommend looking into the Vecna trilogy of adventures from 2nd edition:
Vecna Lives! - Vecna seeks to attain greater godhood by cutting off the other gods from their followers.
Vecna Reborn - Vecna in Ravenloft! Clash between Vecna and Kas across 2 unique Domains of Dread.
Die Vecna Die! - An epic adventure spanning across Greyhawk, Ravenloft and Planescape. Stop Vecna from rewriting the multiverse as he sees fit!
Classic Dungeons & Dragons back in print!
