This week, we're jamming out with guest Jonnie Law to create two brand new mini settings on the spot! Our interpretations of random dice rolls take us in very different directions, featuring Lovecraftian horror, Neanderthal thots, dragon movies, social media, old man rants, and so much more, for better or worse.
Editor's Note: Courtney's recently-adopted cat has been named Bear. Crisis averted.

Symphony of the earth, blood of the ocean...In this episode, we wrap up this sentient planet and its musical inhabitants by reconciling with unreliability and venturing through air, land, and sea. There are totally no dwarves in this setting, totally. But if there were dwarves, how would they feel when they realize the true nature of that Big Dumb Object that came from the sky?

In the second part of this shadowy setting, we embrace the darkness and introduce factions and entities that don't always get along. Join us as we discover truth and myth, with healthy servings of spiritual cleansing, Taoism, and divine churros!

This week, we're joined by guest Jonnie Law for the first part of a prompt from patron James: with their sun on the verge of a supernova, the population of a world flees onto the plane of shadows, which is supposed to be a reflection of the material plane. But how accurate is this reflection after all? How did this mirrored universe form in the first place? What kind of movies do they have at Shadow Blockbuster? Why is Klaus Nomi here?!

The wheel of fate is turning...At long last, we return to listener prompts with a soul-focused setting from a first-time submitter! Tune in as we infuse this world with theosophy, spirit photography, conspiracy, and the pursuit of perfection. Don't mess with destiny, folks.

This week, we're joined by magic engineer and body horror aficionado Clark Rowenson for our first worldbuilding jam episode of the year! Random dice rolls direct us into genres like urban fantasy and cyberpunk, and we even break out the Monster Mash list for a little help along the way. Tune in for these three mini settings and their tales of control, vengeance, and consequence!

In our first Monster Mash of 2024, we're joined by guest Jonnie Law to reimagine vampires, everyone's favorite blood-sucking goths! We roll up three random sets of genres and features to create mini-settings on the spot, with everything from vampires in space to Bathory-style bloodbaths to medical mysteries.
If vampires aren't your thing, fear not: there are plenty of tangents to go around, too, of course. Anyone hungry for a hodag hotdog?

In our last(ish) visit to this longform setting, we pit an unknowable force against an ancient evil, and build out the magic types of the world to unexpected results. Also: the mystique of Cillian Murphy's cheekbones.

It's the third week of January, which means it's time for the third part of our 2024 longform series! We spice up this mystical setting with new conflicts and layers upon layers of intrigue. That Stag clan is awfully suspicious, don't you think?

Happy New Year, beloved listeners! Continuing our tradition from January 2023, we're returning to our roots by embarking on an original longform setting. Without a prompt and with just two tenets each, we start a fantastical realm where the rains contain life itself and where maps and calendars are so much more than static guides. What wonders remain hidden behind the storm clouds? What lurks at the bottom of the massive maw in the earth? And what role do the druids of old play here? Tune in to find out!
