We explore the various Eras of human history in the Celestial Deep as well as the Charitable Order of the Auden and their relationship with the Great Leviathans.

S02E04 Mythtakes Happen - Love-iathan, Actually (Updated)

17/04/2026 - Now without an extra Audio track that somehow made it to post-production. Love is in the stars, and it stirs there like a great beast. We talk about the Old Man and the Bleeding Moon, a tale as old as space-time. We discuss the Weapons of the Celestial Deep and delve into the strange Ant Civilisation that once almost wiped out humanity. Finally, we ask 'What's the deal with the apocalypse?' and explore the bittersweet comedic art form of Banguwa. Join us, won’t you? Some Mythtakes Happen, but these ones are on purpose.

S02E03 Mythtakes Happen - Strom Drains

Today we look at the shifting fortunes of the Strom Trading Fleet, the strange but perfectly explainable powers of the Deep's Surgesayers as well as the mysterious and perpetually cold Endarkened Fellowship of the Fridgerati.

S02E02 Mythtakes Happen - Amphibious Antagonism

S02E02 Mythtakes Happen - Amphibious Antagonism We present the many vessels which traverse the Celestial Deep, including the highly modular Hadopelus. We discuss the societies which may have created the great Outlier Stations and their exotic materials, as well as the Pirates of the Lightless Duchies. We zoom in on Opal Jing, who is definitely not a pirate or an adventurer, as well as talk through the curious and disturbing presence of Ants in the waters of our drowned solar system.

S02 Bonus Episode - Personal Mythtakes - Cocharello Violence Festival

Today's episode is mostly about scratching too hard, the Australian Census and Halo: Campaign Evolved. While you are mesmerised by these topics we imagineer two real Personal Mythtakes in the form of Science Magister Beladette Perusi, who beat a man to death with a Leviathan as well as the inimitable and uncatchable Cocharello, the Interplanetoid Thief of Masks. But a lot of is it about Halo, and I'm sorry. For more of my opinions about Halo, please subscribe to my other podcast Halo There. Join us, won’t you?

S02 Bonus Episode - Personal Mythtakes - Dance Like Salmon's Watching

Here we define some important NPC for our wet TTRPG setting of the Celestial Deep. Chris struggles with Soorunoo the Lord of the Dancing Fish, Saviour of Orcadia, an individual who apparently danced with fish and saved Orcadia. Aaron on the other hand wrestles with one Triffany Belkins, who became a central religious figure by sheer chance, and isn't happy about it. In today's Bonus Episode, we fill in more blanks in our setting, giving players several avenues of approaching the space opera beneath the churning seas that we have created for you.

UPDATED S02 Bonus Episode - Mechanical Mythtakes - Please Krill Me Now

SORRY! My bad. Fixed it. - Aaron Not content to create new content for our worlds (get it?), we have also crafted a new kind of bonus episode; Mechanical Mythtakes. Here, we challenge one another to flesh out an item or technology within the setting with only a name to start from. Chris nearly stumps Aaron with a real humdinger. Can you guess what Pocket Acid could possibly be? Can you go back in time and give Aaron a hand? He needs it, the hairy fool. Chris expertly, sexily defines the terrifying Krill Mask, giving it a visage and place in history. Join us, won’t you? Some Mythtakes Happen, but these ones are on purpose.
