Worldbuild With Us

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!

In the second part of this patron prompt, we borrow from a slew of movies to craft a mostly-subterranean adventure full of zombie dinosaurs, crystalline dwarven-halfling-gnome scouts, spooky sand clerics, and heaps of hijinks! Also, Rob dies inside.

This week, we're starting on a prompt from patron Jonnie Law that seems suspiciously targeted against our tastes. Tune in to hear how we build out this spite-world and its stout, tragically-bloodless denizens, with bonus tangents on The Expanse, Daniel's dislike of mushrooms, and more, along with a most unexpected twist!

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 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.

This week, we conclude this ancient alt history setting by building mecha and embarking on a globetrotting adventure with some very high stakes! So come on down to Atlantisville, where your mech can have a little human sacrifice, as a treat.

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.
