In our conclusion to this intergalactic setting, we get downright mundane with psychonaut message boards and retired space cops.

Courtesy of patron Commissar Whiskers (and a few other listeners!), we're diving into a setting where remnants of long-dead gods and progenitors are scattered throughout the universe, acting as a source of life, magic, and a whole lot of mystery. What exactly happened way back during this fantastical Big Bang? And just how massive would a weapon of mass destruction need to be in order to kill gods?

We've wanted to go in-depth on the controversial topic of AI for a while, so for this patron-exclusive Aphid Lounge, we're taking the plunge! Professor Daniel gives an overview of the development and current state of AI creation tools like Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT, then we talk about the ethics and implications of it all and discuss the ways that you can use AI to aid in worldbuilding and TTRPGs.

The Earth was the same...until it wasn't. This week, we're joined by guest host Ian of the Undercommon Taste podcast to tackle a listener prompt about an alternate Earth filled to the brim with magic spells and steampunk technology. An otherworldly curse coinciding with the end of World War I brings with it a slew of fantastical mutations and sociopolitical implications, so listen in to hear all of the magical and/or horrifying details!

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.

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? Do you have a worldbuilding prompt you want to send to us? Send us your prompt!

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!

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!

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!

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!
