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! 💕

In week three of our four-part series, we're focusing on factions, which unsurprisingly lead to grand conspiracies of both earthly and cosmic varieties. Can you hear the stars calling from above?

This week, we continue to construct our month-long setting with districts and features, and flesh out the city's more questionable attractions. Rob brings a beacon of hope(?), Courtney embraces the edgelord factor, and Daniel questions the "land" in "landmark" because of course he does.

New year, new setting...and a new take on an old format. Throughout the month of January, we'll be exploring a world of our own creation from scratch: a city of awe-inspiring angels, linked telepaths, otherworldly commodities, and a very literal end.

In this episode, we're wrapping up our chaotic crossover world by sampling foods of the living and dead, dabbling in spirit magic, and weaving what's been unraveled by that damn cat. Long live Miles the Meek!
