Your World Here - The TTRPG Worldbuilding Podcast

For our season finale we're taking a tour of the treacherous and marshy Northlands, a magical landscape heavily inspired by the Finnish folktale, Kalevala. Join us by the warmth of the forge as we discuss the world of Lizy's upcoming novel, it's unique magic system and the effect it has on those who struggle to wield it. 

Grab your golden fleeces and remember to not look back, we're heading to the Ancient Greek-inspired island of Hellas, created by classics buff, Samuel Scott. Join us as we travel to the hero-worshiping town of Methone and learn how everything you find has a story to tell.

Musician/illustrator/teacher Alasdair Dunn talks all things politics in the endless power-struggle of Ultgäth. We join the resistance of the foul-smelling city of Waldreik and discuss how in a grimdark fantasy world it takes a band of unlikely heroes to bring the hope. 

On this episode we go to the modern, solar-punk paradise of Bas, a land brimming with sky-scrapers, mobile phones and expensive cocktails. Harriet Rafferty shows us her modern 'city in a rain forest' highlighting the magic that lurks in the Feywild, its hidden draconic history as well as how sometimes your players can invent better stories than the ones you had planned.   

Join me and Max Chase in the Planeshift Capsule as we rocket off to the immense Titan Isles, a wild fantasy continent that is as detailed as it is dangerous. We talk about how to extract great ideas from your players before shooting off to Nova Matahari, a city of faith, pilgrimage and power. 

This week I speak to my first ever DM, Petri Simonen, as I take him on a flying tour of his homebrew high fantasy continent, Eclea. We discuss the power of improv and how a blank slate of a world can be used to your advantage before landing in the haunted city of Old Yartar for a chat about inspiration and how offical content can be a great inspiration point for your own unique worlds.
