Episode 243: An Imperfect Alloy (Universe of a Thousand Tributes)
Friday Mar 29, 2024
Friday Mar 29, 2024
Adamantium? Unobtanium? Pfft, whatever, we've got SPACE BRASS! Tune in for a listener prompt about a massive space station that travels around gathering tribute from planets! We try to figure out just what exactly that tribute is as we explore the station's origins, the nature of its mysterious pharaoh, what a thousand years of built-up anger does to a guy, and how to *not* have this be a clone of Stargate.

Episode 228: Above the Court of the Crimson King (Sky of a Thousand Chains)
Thursday Dec 14, 2023
Thursday Dec 14, 2023
Floating islands rising from the ocean, tethered by chains. Prophecies in song, carried on the wind. Prog rock. These are just a few parts of a listener's bronze-age setting built on an idyllic seascape, traversed by kites and boats. But all is not as it seems, and to learn the truth we must go far into the planet's past, when the red star first rose and the royal pair still reigned together.

Episode 226: Catalina Wizard Mixer (Isle of a Thousand Wines)
Thursday Nov 30, 2023
Thursday Nov 30, 2023
This week, a first-time prompt submitter asks us to build out a dangerous, magical world called Warevinet, populated by mermaids, winged humans, and boring ol' regular humans. We take inspiration from important cultural works like The Little Mermaid, The Dying Earth, Zoolander, and I Think You Should Leave to infuse this realm with petty wizards, aquatic vineyards, fashion-based magic, and so much more! Anyone got a spare skin suit?

Thursday Aug 03, 2023
Thursday Aug 03, 2023
This week, we're joined by guest host and magic engineer Clark R. Rowenson for a summertime worldbuilding jam!

Plus: a sneak peak at what's in store for Mr. Beast videos in the ultra-dystopian future!

Thursday Jul 27, 2023
Himbos. He-Mans. Roided-out Sailor Moons. Super nuns. In this episode, a long-time listener asks us to build a world where magic swords have mysteriously appeared with high fantasy powers, and we take things in a decidedly beefy direction.

Thursday Jul 20, 2023
This week, forbidden teachings take root in a leadership academy run by the god of knowledge itself. Tune in to hear all about this school, its lofty goals, and its unlikely (and adorable) professors in a world otherwise encased in a dark age of false despots!

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!
Check out Ian on the Undercommon Taste podcast at https://undercommontaste.podbean.com and head over to their Discord server at https://discord.gg/64R7ze3fBV.

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!

Episode 198: The Sunken Place (Land of a Thousand Extremes)
Thursday May 18, 2023
Thursday May 18, 2023
This week, another new listener has us venturing onto a post-post-apocalyptic planet that's become tidally locked, with only a narrow ring of habitable territory separating the sun-scorched side from the other half's frozen darkness. Listen in to sail the brackish sea, traverse the rust dunes, and hone your psychic efficiency...and to find out what fun new phobia Rob discovers!
P.S. Anyone know how to run an intervention for someone who refuses to sleep? Anyone? Please help.
