Episode 201: The Avatar and the Evolutionist (Land of a Thousand Living Waters)
Thursday Jun 08, 2023
Thursday Jun 08, 2023
This week, a complex listener prompt has us tackling water-based teleportation, which leads to weaponized beverages and a surprising amount of undead and...other things. This could have been a happy episode.
Plus: our new (but not really) segment called Help Boomer-Daniel Figure Out What Actor and/or Movie He's Talking About!

Thursday May 04, 2023

Episode 195: The Grand Experiment (Land of One Thousand Seconds After Part 2)
Thursday Apr 27, 2023
Thursday Apr 27, 2023
Where there be dragons, there must be dragon cultists. We put our finishing touches on this now-magic-less post-apocalyptic world with monster petting zoos, beast masters, art rescuers, and the looming threat of fascism...And naturally, some refinements to our Matthew McConaughey/Christian Bale measurement systems (patent pending).

Episode 194: The Day the Magic Died (Land of One Thousand Seconds After Part 1)
Thursday Apr 20, 2023
Thursday Apr 20, 2023
Patron Ian of the Undercommon Taste podcast prompts us to build a setting where magic—integral to civilization for hundreds of years—has suddenly disappeared. Tune in to find out how the world has changed in the two months since it lost its magic, where that magic went, how poorly Daniel would fare in a post-apocalypse, how many Christian Bales* can fit into a dragon's mouth, and so much more!
*We realized after recording that per the film Reign of Fire, we should have been measuring in units of Matthew McConaughey, not Christian Bale, and we sincerely apologize for this error.

The Aphid Lounge Preview: Gross Jams, Now with More Placenta
Wednesday Mar 29, 2023
Wednesday Mar 29, 2023
Or, Implications: The Episode. Patron Gluax requested a no-holds-barred gross episode, and Rob, Courtney, and Clark are all too happy to deliver in this extra-long, extra-juicy patron-exclusive Aphid Lounge! We discuss grossness and horror of all varieties and why we're drawn to them, then partake in a deeply unpleasant placenta- and prion-riddled duo of worldbuilding jams, and even talk about perhaps the most terrifying topic of all: sex education in the United States.

Episode 189: Disney World to the Max (City of a Thousand Vacation Days Part 1)
Thursday Mar 16, 2023
Thursday Mar 16, 2023
What could possibly go wrong in a place where nobody can die? We're answering just such a question courtesy of patron DiploRaptor in the first episode of this two-part series where Death has loosened its grip on a single city! Rob brings the fun, Courtney brings the horror, and a very sleep-deprived Daniel brings...the gnomes. And tales of Disney employment. And questionable financial advice related to Peeps Pepsi. Daniel, please get more sleep.

In the latest patron-exclusive Aphid Lounge episode, we expand on our recent longform setting courtesy of ideas from some of our patrons! We talk about how to use this bustling den of vice in other genres and worlds, go deeper into topics such as culture, ruins, and housing, and create new and uplifting landmarks like a tower of corpses and an ever-dying angel. Happy Valentine's Day! 💕
