Episode 242: The Jam Out of Space
Thursday Mar 21, 2024
Thursday Mar 21, 2024
This week, we're jamming out with guest Jonnie Law to create two brand new mini settings on the spot! Our interpretations of random dice rolls take us in very different directions, featuring Lovecraftian horror, Neanderthal thots, dragon movies, social media, old man rants, and so much more, for better or worse.
Editor's Note: Courtney's recently-adopted cat has been named Bear. Crisis averted.

Random dice rolls direct us into genres like urban fantasy and cyberpunk, and we even break out the Monster Mash list for a little help along the way.

Episode 221: A Deliciously Lich-y Spooky Jam
Thursday Oct 26, 2023
Thursday Oct 26, 2023
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!

Episode 220: Monster Mash - The Lich
Thursday Oct 19, 2023
Thursday Oct 19, 2023
In celebration of 💀spooky season🎃, we're reimagining another monster from our randomized list: the lich! These powerful undead creatures often attain immortality, but is it always a case of ruthless ambition? Or is it just FOMO on a cosmic scale?
Tune in to hear three very different remixes of these typically-evil beings, featuring black holes, oil barons, and rage spirits...and be sure to listen in again next week, when we'll be expanding on these liches in random worldbuilding jams!

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.

At long last, we're returning to this setting of omnipresent time beings on fractured worlds! Things go slightly off the rails as we look for love and labor unions in Victorian retrofuturism, Lisa Frank brutalism, and other extremely valid visual styles.
