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.

Thursday Jun 15, 2023
Thursday Jun 15, 2023
In this episode, we begin to build out patron James V.'s setting: a planet devastated by the shattered remnants of one of its elemental moons. What powers (and dangers) do these moon shards hold? And what lies within the moons themselves?

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 200: Patron-Infused Chaos Jam
Thursday Jun 01, 2023
Thursday Jun 01, 2023
Ten patron tenets. Two fast-paced worldbuilding sessions. Maximum mayhem.
We wanted to do something a little different for our 200th episode, so we asked our patrons for input, and they responded with...chaos. With only one host aware of the contents of these patron-submitted tenets, we embark on randomized rapid-fire setting creation with interesting results.
Thank you so much to all of our patrons for your continued support, and to all of our listeners for sticking with us for now literally hundreds of episodes!...Which are now LIVE ON YOUTUBE! That's right, we're on YouTube now at www.youtube.com/@worldbuildwithus so be sure to subscribe and smash that like button, if you're so inclined! Thank you all for helping us get to this point!

Episode 199: Monster Mash - The Chimera
Thursday May 25, 2023
Thursday May 25, 2023
It's been quite a while since we've deconstructed and reimagined fantastical creatures in a Monster Mash, so this week we're back at it with guest host C.R. Rowenson! A suspiciously convenient die roll has us exploring one of Clark's picks: the chimera, the lion-goat-snake hybrid of Greek mythology—or in broader terms, a genetically-mixed organism. Tune in to hear how we handle two very different versions of this beast!
Check out Clark at https://crrowenson.com and on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@themagicengineer5314

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™?

Thursday May 04, 2023
Thursday May 04, 2023
This week, we're taking a break from listener prompts to do some good old-fashioned worldbuilding jams. Random dice rolls bring us to lands of hidden identities and noir detectives, so tune in to find out where these settings end up!

The Aphid Lounge Preview: How to Deal with GM-Player Communication
Tuesday May 02, 2023
Tuesday May 02, 2023
In this patron-exclusive Aphid Lounge, Daniel and Courtney are joined by their friend Jon Parsons to chat about how GMs and players can collaborate for better gaming experiences and stronger worldbuilding. We talk everything from session zeroes and social contracts to how GMs can include quiet players and how players can get away with being a crazed serial killer in a party of otherwise good characters!

Episode 195: The Grand Experiment (Land of One Thousand Seconds After Part 2)
Thursday Apr 27, 2023
Thursday Apr 27, 2023
Where there be dragons, there must be dragon cultists. We put our finishing touches on this now-magic-less post-apocalyptic world with monster petting zoos, beast masters, art rescuers, and the looming threat of fascism...And naturally, some refinements to our Matthew McConaughey/Christian Bale measurement systems (patent pending).
