In our first Rob-free regular episode(!), a new listener prompt introduces a world where people have perfect memory of everything they hear, and where those memories persist after death. Courtney and Daniel are joined by guest Jon Parsons to explore this land and its implications: how has this audio-centric species evolved over time? How can they share secrets, if at all? And what's up with those creepy Trauma Warriors™?

In this episode, a listener's idea for transactional magic leads us into a realm of sacred geometry, singing spellcasters, limited literacy, and of course, a tribute to Oscar-winner Brendan Fraser, star of the 1999 classic The Mummy.

A listener tasks us with building a post-human world where sentient animals have risen up to create something new...But how can entirely different types of creatures communicate, if at all? Tune in to find out, and hear the adventures of Marvin the Rat-Warrior and his friends as they seek out lost knowledge in a fantasy post-apocalypse!

A listener prompt brings us to a supercontinent of steampunk tech and extreme weather, and we proceed to smash our action figures together to create heaps of DINOs (Dragons in Name Only™) in this brutal yet jubilant world.

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.

In this episode, we've got spy games spanning time and space, secret agents, rogue psychics, and an unknowable, incomprehensible entity that sits at the center of this fraying web. The tachyonic antitelephone is ringing; will you answer the call? Or perhaps the only winning move is not to play at all?...
PLUS: Changes! As noted in the intro, we're going to switch up the format for non-Patron prompts. We really appreciate your feedback, so please let us know what you think!
