This week, we're forging more of this post-apocalyptic setting with everyone's favorites, from demonic blood and dangerous cults to plagues and parties...And we cap it all off with a surprisingly cozy quest.

Episode 218: The Plagued Places (Ruin of a Thousand Pacts Part 1)
Thursday Oct 05, 2023
Thursday Oct 05, 2023
In this episode, we begin a new setting from patron DiploRaptor where elves, dwarves, and orcs live peacefully...in the aftermath of a genocide of all humans. We're joined by magic engineer C.R. Rowenson to build out this human-less (and cat-less) world by adding demons, plagues, pacts, and poison clouds. Listen in to hear all about uncomfortable subjects (like, y'know, genocide), Dwarf Fortress, and Clark's utterly shameless rule-bending!

Episode 215: A Tangled Web of Time (World of a Thousand-Year War Part 2)
Thursday Sep 14, 2023
Thursday Sep 14, 2023
In this episode, we delve deeper into this setting full of magic child soldiers and tachyonic geriatric lich kids, sprinkle new factions into the mix, and explore the origin—and potential end—of this seemingly-eternal war. Remember: whoever controls the Space W.H.A.L.E. controls the world.

Episode 214: Instruments of Violence (World of a Thousand-Year War Part 1)
Thursday Sep 07, 2023
Thursday Sep 07, 2023
A new prompt from patron Gluax brings us to a land of ✨magical children✨...who lack rights and are used as soldiers in a never-ending war. Fun! We start building out this setting with science (sort of), gerontocracies, ghosts, and the implications of immensely powerful mage-babies. But who's really behind this war?

Episode 212: Monster Mash - The Kelpie
Thursday Aug 24, 2023
Thursday Aug 24, 2023
In this episode, we're joined by Ian of the Undercommon Taste podcast for an exploration of a fantastical monster, and an oddly convenient die roll has us diving into one of his favorites: the kelpie of Scottish folklore! We chat about this criminally-underused creature's origins in water safety and its sneaky human-horse shapeshifting abilities, then build out two settings on the fly in the genres of paranormal romance and high fantasy. War crimes might take place.
Be sure to tune into the Undercommon Taste podcast, head over to the UCT Discord server, and check out all of the content on their Linktree at https://linktr.ee/undercommontaste.

Episode 206: Follow the White Rabbit (Universe of a Thousand Toppled Gods Part 2)
Thursday Jul 13, 2023
Thursday Jul 13, 2023
In our conclusion to this intergalactic setting, we get downright mundane with psychonaut message boards and retired space cops. Pay no mind to the incomprehensibly large cosmic serpent in the background.

Courtesy of patron Commissar Whiskers (and a few other listeners!), we're diving into a setting where remnants of long-dead gods and progenitors are scattered throughout the universe, acting as a source of life, magic, and a whole lot of mystery. What exactly happened way back during this fantastical Big Bang? And just how massive would a weapon of mass destruction need to be in order to kill gods?

Thursday Jun 29, 2023
Thursday Jun 29, 2023
The Earth was the same...until it wasn't. This week, we're joined by guest host Ian of the Undercommon Taste podcast to tackle a listener prompt about an alternate Earth filled to the brim with magic spells and steampunk technology. An otherworldly curse coinciding with the end of World War I brings with it a slew of fantastical mutations and sociopolitical implications, so listen in to hear all of the magical and/or horrifying details!

Episode 203: Under the Pale Eye (Moon of a Thousand Demons Part 2)
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
Our conclusion to this magical, demon-infested post-apocalyptic setting has us balancing grimdark-itude with lighter, '80s-movie-inspired story elements...and perhaps the most Courtney moment that's ever been Courtneyed yet on air.

Thursday Jun 15, 2023
Thursday Jun 15, 2023
In this episode, we begin to build out patron James V.'s setting: a planet devastated by the shattered remnants of one of its elemental moons. What powers (and dangers) do these moon shards hold? And what lies within the moons themselves?
