Undercommon Taste

In this episode, we're joined by Ian of the Undercommon Taste podcast for an exploration of a fantastical monster, and an oddly convenient die roll has us diving into one of his favorites: the kelpie of Scottish folklore! We chat about this criminally-underused creature's origins in water safety and its sneaky human-horse shapeshifting abilities, then build out two settings on the fly in the genres of paranormal romance and high fantasy. War crimes might take place.

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!

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. If you thought we couldn't cram more blood into this spooky season, you thought very, very wrong.
