We did it listeners! We made it to episode 50! This is a huge milestone for us and we are so appreciative of all the support you've shown us since we started this little podcast. We thought a fun way to celebrate 50 episodes would be to revisit some of our and your favorite creations from the last year or so, and see what happens when we stick them all in a blender together! We also brought back some of our favorite guests, Ben and Joe from We Speak Common, to help us atone for our past sins. So if you were wondering what the little girl who's 99% hag had gotten up to, or what would happen when she meets the cowboy who's afraid of having his photo taken, this is the episode for you! This is an extra long one (our longest episode yet in fact) so buckle up! We also get into what our favorite crossovers are from other forms of media. We spend entirely too much time talking about the Marvel universe and it's virtues, Kingdom Hearts and it's sins, and a whole bunch of other examples of successful and unsuccessful attempts at crossovers! If you want to check out Ben and Joe's podcast (which we'll be appearing on next week!) you can find them on all major podcast platforms as We Speak Common, or on twitter @wespeakcommon! As always, if you enjoyed this episode or want to share any feedback please consider reaching to us on on social media! We can be found on twitter @worldforgepod. We're also available via email at worldforgepod@gmail.com. We love to hear about all the ways you use and improve upon our ideas, and if you show us something really interesting we may just share it on air!

Hello listeners, and welcome back to World Forge! This week we're talking about the most quintessentially Halloween-y of topics: haunted houses! We design a murder house the likes of which you've never seen! In a story spanning nearly 100 years we end the lives of no less than 87 random tourists and townsfolk. How exactly do they meet their fate? You'll have to listen to find out! We really want to thank all of our amazing guests from throughout the month, who have come onto create incredible stories with us. Tim and Kent from the Roll to Play Network, Ben and Joe from We Speak Common, and Melinda and Cynthia from Wizards and Wine were all awesome additions to the World Forge Pantheon of Creators, and we're extremely thankful for all of them! We also want to thank James Duke who composed our theme song for us, he can be found at jamesduke.info! Our rec room topic this week was another podcast that we love: Lime Town! It's a spooky mystery about missing people in a small rural American town. If you're interested in conspiracy theories, audio dramas, or true crime it's a great show to check out.

Hello there listeners and welcome back to another episode of World Forge! This week we go for round two with some great friends of ours, Ben and Joe from We Speak Common! We also go back for a second helping of spooky Halloween themed creations, this week talking about vampires! Ben does his best to steal all the good vampires for himself, but we punch back with some old favorites and new creations of our own. We talk about what happens when the court jester finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, who the original vampire was, what kinds of things a vampire could feed on besides blood, and the physical drawbacks of eternal life. We also take some time to look at a very cool supplement written by our friend Chris Knapp at TBM Games. Chris was kind enough to share a review copy of his Vampiric Bloodline sorcerer variant so we give our take on that. Spoilers, we like it a lot! You can find more of his work at https://tbmgames.com, or on twitter @nat1advice. Ben and Joe also recommend you take a look at another fun supplement they had an opportunity to review on a recent episode of their show, and that's the Svilland campaign setting which can be found at dreamrealmstorytellers.com. Go check out their most recent episode of We Speak Common for a chance to win a copy for yourself! Our guests can be found on twitter @worldforgepod, and on all major podcast platforms.
