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.

Episode 218: The Plagued Places (Ruin of a Thousand Pacts Part 1)
Thursday Oct 05, 2023
Thursday Oct 05, 2023
In this episode, we begin a new setting from patron DiploRaptor where elves, dwarves, and orcs live peacefully...in the aftermath of a genocide of all humans. We're joined by magic engineer C.R. Rowenson to build out this human-less (and cat-less) world by adding demons, plagues, pacts, and poison clouds. Listen in to hear all about uncomfortable subjects (like, y'know, genocide), Dwarf Fortress, and Clark's utterly shameless rule-bending!

Episode 203: Under the Pale Eye (Moon of a Thousand Demons Part 2)
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
Our conclusion to this magical, demon-infested post-apocalyptic setting has us balancing grimdark-itude with lighter, '80s-movie-inspired story elements...and perhaps the most Courtney moment that's ever been Courtneyed yet on air.

Episode 201: The Avatar and the Evolutionist (Land of a Thousand Living Waters)
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.

Episode 197: Enter the Moletrix (Network of a Thousand Memories)
Thursday May 11, 2023
Thursday May 11, 2023
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™?
