Politics & Economics

In this episode, we delve deeper into this setting full of magic child soldiers and tachyonic geriatric lich kids, sprinkle new factions into the mix, and explore the origin—and potential end—of this seemingly-eternal war. Remember: whoever controls the Space W.H.A.L.E. controls the world.

A new prompt from patron Gluax brings us to a land of ✨magical children✨...who lack rights and are used as soldiers in a never-ending war. Fun! We start building out this setting with science (sort of), gerontocracies, ghosts, and the implications of immensely powerful mage-babies. But who's really behind this war?

In the first part of a new series, patron Cam brings us into an alternate history where mecha were sent down to the Earth in 300 BC! Join us as we reforge history courtesy of these mechs and their many implications for warfare, labor, mathematics, and yes, human sacrifice.
Correction: Macedonians (led by Alexander the Great), not Romans, conquered Tyre in 332 BC.

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.

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.
