This Week’s Rediscovered Realms Theme Song:
A mournful voice drifts through the fog — the Wight’s sorrow echoing across forgotten barrows and moonlit moors. “The Wight’s Lament” is a haunting orchestral elegy that stirs both dread and pity, its melody fading like the memory of a life long lost.
From the upcoming album Monsters in the Mist, this track summons the spirit of classic gothic fantasy — where tragedy lingers, and the dead still remember.
“Step back into the ‘80s with Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club, a boxed set that puts you in charge of Eddie Munson’s final Dungeons & Dragons campaign. This blast-from-the-past bundle lets you play as the iconic D&D characters of Stranger Things protagonists through four thrilling adventures steeped in the gnarly flavor of Hawkins High School’s most infamous club.”
Just released last month, and with pretty solid reviews comes “Krull 4K Ultra HD Digital SteelBook 4K Digital 4K UHD”
One of my favorite movies - I’ve got to get a hold of this new upscaled release!

Coming November 25th is “The Jim Henson Company 70th Anniversary Auction”, featuring some of the historic puppets, costumes, and props from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Labyrinth, Farscape, and of course The Muppets and Fraggle Rock.
They have a special collectible catalog for purchase, but I backed out since it was pretty expensive. I will tune in to see what some of these cultural gems sell for, though!
And that’s another edition of The Phantasy Snitch, you fantastically informed Adventurer, you. Until next we meet, keep the Adventure going STRONG!
Your next piece of fantasy fun is calling.

The Wight’s Lament (from the upcoming album, “Monsters in the Mist”) [Verse 1] In the barrow cold and deep, Bound by oaths I could not keep, Gold and steel upon my breast, Chains of regret grant no rest. [Chorus] Hear the Wight’s lament, the sorrow of the grave, A crown of dust, a curse no light can save. From tomb to tomb, my shadow ever roams, Forever bound to guard forgotten bones. [Verse 2] Once I walked in sunlit glades, Now I haunt these endless shades. All who seek my treasure bright, Join my vigil in the night. [Chorus] Hear the Wight’s lament, the sorrow of the grave, A crown of dust, a curse no light can save. From tomb to tomb, my shadow ever roams, Forever bound to guard forgotten bones. [Bridge] Can you hear my hollow cry? Do you feel the cold draw nigh? Take the gold, yet lose your breath, I’ll trade it gladly for your death. [Chorus – with darker intensity] Hear the Wight’s lament, the sorrow of the grave, A crown of dust, a curse no light can save. From tomb to tomb, my shadow ever roams, Forever bound to guard forgotten bones. [Outro – fading echo] Forever bound… forgotten bones…
When I was about 15, I discovered Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks. I fell in love with the series. Fast forward about 20 years later or so when Terry Brooks wrote The Phantom Menace novelization and did a book signing at the Barnes and Noble that I worked at!!!! I got both books signed. He was really nice! Cool to see the book in your horde! 😊
Some great memories here! I have recently been playing my first DnD campaign after having only read about the adventures in the past. Such a super fun game!
