Worldbuild With Us

This week, a first-time listener prompt has us building the mystery of a massive tower where worlds converge. Climbers from those other realms seek the top of it, but it's not just a simple hike: the fate of the universe is at stake, blocked by countless trials of identity and belief.

In this episode, we're breaking out a newly-expanded genre list for two randomized worldbuilding jams!

Adamantium? Unobtanium? Pfft, whatever, we've got SPACE BRASS! Tune in for a listener prompt about a massive space station that travels around gathering tribute from planets! We try to figure out just what exactly that tribute is as we explore the station's origins, the nature of its mysterious pharaoh, what a thousand years of built-up anger does to a guy, and how to *not* have this be a clone of Stargate.

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?

This week, patron Sundji invites us to explore a mystical, musical world where the planet itself is sentient and its indigenous tribes use acoustic magic! Listen in to hear how social structures and relationships work, what rituals take place when groups communicate, what a Big Dumb Object might have in store for this realm...and how the planet feels about all of this noise.

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.
