 A discussion between two Christian nerds about the nerdiest stuff we can think of including, D&D, SCI-FI, the superhero genre, etc. We try to incorporate humor, imaginative storytelling and a good ole fashion ribbing to make the listening experience a whole lot of fun!
Send us a textThe Season is wrapping up! Seth and Celina have a good discussion about the differences, but also the similarities, of the Beastlands with other heavens, and laughingly cringe their way through the awful, desperate brutality that is Gehenna. Then, as an added bonus, we have Tony, from Dungeons and Disciples drop by for a short interview, and to get a sense of what his and Josh's show is about. It was fun having him share some about it, and get to know him a bit, too. Enjoy this "anitpenultimate" episode, and be sure to come back for the Second Wind, then the last discussion of two specific Planes next month. The final episode, a complete Wrap Up of all the Planes, will come in November, with its possible Second Wind dropping in December.
Send us a textThe longer Seth and Celina sit together, podcasting, the easier they fall for a chaos beast tangent. Holy Ophanim!! But, it just means more fun content for you. Sorry it's a day late; enjoy anyway Oh! Speaking of Ophanim, here's the link Seth mentioned, to an AI generated video of what biblically accurate angels would look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=NGiiPTD8swk
Send us a textHere is episode "10", if anyone is actually keeping track of the pattern we're "following" around the Great Wheel. Here are Lorehaven Hearth, we discuss to rich, storied lore of Dungeons and Dragons - and occasionally Pathfinder. While we're are it, we examine it from a Christian perspective, and look for ways to redeem the TTRPG genre. Season 2 has afforded us some fantastic discussions so far, as we've traveled our way around the Great Wheel, two Planes of existence at a time. Mt. Celestia and Bytopia remind us of most of what the Bible describes the new Heaven we have to look forward to will look like, while every one of the Lower Planes have left us with their individual flavors of "ick". We're reaching the end of the Season, with just two other pairs, and a wrap up episode to go, after this one. We're in talks about what the theme for Season 3 will be, as well as discussing ways to expand the types of content we send your way. Please Subscribe and Follow, Rate, and leave a Review!

Send us a text Yes, This one is being numbered as 11, even though it is coming to you 10th. There has been a pattern to our madness of going around the Great Wheel Model, but with our Producer's computer failures, this is the episode we have ready this month. So when you inevitably listen to the whole season again, listen in numerical order, albeit not release date. In this episode of Lorehaven Hearth, Seth and Celina continue discussions of the Lesser Heavens and Hells, with first the somehow balance but scarcely visited Bytopia, then the utter desolation and isolation that awaits anyone sent to Carceri. Seth and Celina give a brief description and history, cover how to travel to, within, and out (if ever that be achieved), and toss out some ideas of how to use this building block in your own story. And of course, there's a description of some of the (terrifying) creatures you may (not want to) meet there. Lastly, Seth takes a sidestep over to a philosophical discussion, asking why it is that specifically the negative Planes, but all evil places and creatures in general, are more developed and interesting than the good Planes and "good guys". Thank you for sticking around with us, and please enjoy this episode. Season 2 is getting near the end, with big plans to come yet.

Send us a textThese d6th episodes are basically becoming a thing! Here's a fully sound-scaped narration of the Gith War; a different take on one of the topics from our Deck of Mini Things Episode last month.
Send us a text It's a Deck of "Mini" Things! Celina and Morgan sit down to briefly discuss a few topics that wouldn't quite fill out a full episode, or that don't fit in the current season theme, but that have been requested by you, the listeners. The Gith War was mentioned during the Limbo discussion; Orcus will come up in the Pandemonium discussion next month; and Christians and RPGs in general is a topic always on our hearts and minds, and we wanted to share that with you. Seth and Season 1 co-host Monty kind of gave their Storytelling Philosophy back in Season 1 - you can find that episode if you want a refresher - so we thought we'd give you our take, sort of, here and now. We realized after we were done that Celina promised other sources of information on the Gith War, but didn't call any out! Whoops! So, here are a few for that. - https://archive.org/details/tsr02022manualoftheplanes- https://archive.org/details/mordenkainen-presents-monsters-of-the-multiverse-dungeon-dragons-book-ocr/page/n2/mode/1up- https://anyflip.com/fgoih/bsfa/basic/51-100- https://archive.org/details/planeabovesecret0000hein/mode/1upAs mentioned in Topic II, here is the information on the magazine Celina referenced: https://planescape.fandom.com/wiki/Dead_GodsAnd as always, Share, Rate, and tell friends about our podcast.
