In the latest patron-exclusive Aphid Lounge episode, we expand on our recent longform setting courtesy of ideas from some of our patrons! We talk about how to use this bustling den of vice in other genres and worlds, go deeper into topics such as culture, ruins, and housing, and create new and uplifting landmarks like a tower of corpses and an ever-dying angel. Happy Valentine's Day! 💕

This week, we continue to construct our month-long setting with districts and features, and flesh out the city's more questionable attractions. Rob brings a beacon of hope(?), Courtney embraces the edgelord factor, and Daniel questions the "land" in "landmark" because of course he does.
