Welcome back listeners to episode 69 (heh heh) of World Forge! This week we have an extra special, extra spicy one for you all about our pop culture and celebrity crushes. We spend far too much time talking about that, and eventually get into creating a fun sexy adventure that harnesses all that randy energy that we almost certainly should not have put out into the world. Fair warning: this is certainly our most NSFW episode yet so please brace yourselves for that, we absolutely understand if that's not your cup of tea and will not feel bad if you give this one a miss. Otherwise this episode kind of speaks for itself so we'll forgo any further explanation, if you're still here then well... enjoy!

Welcome back listeners to another episode of World Forge! This is a slightly shorter episode this week as we are totally wiped out from a trip up North, but we think you'll still have fun with it. We took inspiration from our time in the woods to build some more characters for you to use as heroes, villains, or NPCs. Our rec room this week is something we think is really important, and it's to try and find ways to support the State and National Park Systems. If you're looking for good social distance friendly activities, you could do a lot worse than taking a hike in one of the many parks that are probably a lot closer to you than you think. We had a great time hiking around St. Croix State Park on our trip, and were able to pull some interesting ideas from our time there. The National parks website is nps.gov and your state should have their own site with listings of all the state run parks in your area.

Our inspirations include our recent trip to Michigan's Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, a past trip to Washington State, the black sand beaches of Iceland, and a some other really exciting places we've been lucky enough to visit.

Welcome back to another episode of World Forge where we're taking random prompts and turning them into new assets for you to use in your Dungeons and Dragons games! This week we're tackling a topic that puts an exciting spin on the standard protagonist role! We're talking antiheroes and all the things that make a good guy bad! We have a lot of fun examples from all over the pop culture sphere: Sawyer from Lost, Red Hood from Batman, Roschach, House, Vegeta, John McClane and tons more! And as usual, we take a big swing at creating some of our own! We also have some cool recommendations for you this week including the Disney Villainous board game! Villainous is a super fun strategy card game where you play as the villains from your favorite Disney movies. We think it's really fun to get to step into the shoes of some of these characters and hope games like this can help inspire you to put a dark twist on your DnD heroes.
