Steampunk

In this episode, we're finishing this dieselpunk alt-history Earth by boosting the military horror factor! Jonnie Law joins us once more as we take inspiration from media like Squid Game, Koyaanisqatsi, and Cronenberg's films to set up a few drastically different movie studios, all while contending with pesky cults and carnivorous robots. We cap it off with an adventure that spans the globe...and beyond.

The episode we reference a few times is 188: The Corvid Conspiracy (Land of a Thousand Languages); its accompanying Too Hot For Broadcast clip on Patreon has some...depictions of the subject in question.

We're gettin' real weird with history this week courtesy of a dieselpunk/blitzpunk prompt from patron Kaiser. Guest host Jonnie Law joins us as we scorch this alt history WWII-era Earth with battles and pollution, and then infuse it with occult artifacts, art-loving robots, and the power of cinema. Scientific accuracy? Ehh don't worry about it, we don't have any idea how diesel engines work either.

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!

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!

This week, we're forging more of this post-apocalyptic setting with everyone's favorites, from demonic blood and dangerous cults to plagues and parties...And we cap it all off with a surprisingly cozy quest.

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!

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!

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.

When the lines are so blurred, how will you know when you've crossed them to the point of no return? This series, we're joined by guest Ian from the Undercommon Taste podcast for a horror-focused prompt communally developed by our patrons, featuring cosmic and body horror, cults and rituals, powerlessness and torture, and so much more.
