Jam Session

Continuing our celebration of the spookiest time of the year, we're bringing the three liches from last episode's Monster Mash into a worldbuilding jam! Random dice rolls guide us into horror subgenres like "psychological thriller" and "haunted house" (interpreted not-always-literally, of course) and we pile on heart-wrenching tragedy in addition to the spookiness. Be sure to let us know your favorite lich tale in the comments or on our Discord!

This week, we're joined by guest host and magic engineer Clark R. Rowenson for a summertime worldbuilding jam! We subvert some tropes and embrace others as dice rolls lead us into space western and cyberpunk territory, featuring a troublesome corporate heir and Box Tops for Immortality™. Plus: a sneak peak at what's in store for Mr. Beast videos in the ultra-dystopian future!
Check out Clark on YouTube and at https://crrowenson.com !

Ten patron tenets. Two fast-paced worldbuilding sessions. Maximum mayhem.
We wanted to do something a little different for our 200th episode, so we asked our patrons for input, and they responded with...chaos. With only one host aware of the contents of these patron-submitted tenets, we embark on randomized rapid-fire setting creation with interesting results.
Thank you so much to all of our patrons for your continued support, and to all of our listeners for sticking with us for now literally hundreds of episodes!...Which are now LIVE ON YOUTUBE! That's right, we're on YouTube now at www.youtube.com/@worldbuildwithus so be sure to subscribe and smash that like button, if you're so inclined! Thank you all for helping us get to this point!

This week, we're taking a break from listener prompts to do some good old-fashioned worldbuilding jams. Random dice rolls bring us to lands of hidden identities and noir detectives, so tune in to find out where these settings end up!

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.

This week, we're diverting from our current prompt for a casual worldbuilding jam, where we roll dice and wrack our brains to develop two fantastical mini settings on the spot! Listen in for everything from elves, omens, and '80s kids' movies to ghosts, workplace flirtations, and tech startup naming conventions.

This week, we break out the random dice rolls to whip up a trio of mini settings, so get ready to sample some tasty worldbuilding jams! With Daniel away, we even sneak in a pinch of questionable FTL.

We're trying a new format! We take a classic monster and run them through the randomizer and build a setting based around what we roll. In our inaugural episode we've got the Minotaur. Let us know what you think of this series and if you'd like to see more of it!
