Episode 200: Patron-Infused Chaos Jam
Worldbuild With Us
by Worldbuild With Us
4d ago
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.youtu ..read more

Episode 199: Monster Mash - The Chimera

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   Do you have a worldbuilding prompt you want to send to us?  ..read more

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.   Do you have a worldbuilding prompt you want to send to us? Send us your prompt!  Email us your suggesti ..read more

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™?   Do you have a worldbuilding prompt you want to send to us? Send us your prompt!  Email us your suggestions at: WorldbuildWithUs@gmail.comor follow us on ..read more

Where there be dragons, there must be dragon cultists.

Patron Ian of the Undercommon Taste podcast prompts us to build a setting where magic—integral to civilization for hundreds of years—has suddenly disappeared. Tune in to find out how the world has changed in the two months since it lost its magic, where that magic went, how poorly Daniel would fare in a post-apocalypse, how many Christian Bales* can fit into a dragon's mouth, and so much more! *We realized after recording that per the film Reign of Fire, we should have been measuring in units of Matthew McConaughey, not Christian Bale, and we sincerely apologize for this error.   Do you h ..read more
