  • S02 Bonus Episode - Monstrous Mythtakes - A Plague of Fish & Horses

    Just when you thought it was safe to get back into the Deep we bring you a plague that is a fish; the Icthysella Pestis - The Scaly Plague. Chris' description of this flesh-burrowing nightmare is sure to get under your skin! Just when you thought it was safe to, uh, get close to a crevice in the Deep we bring the Vomitory Pukespinner to life - a cephalapod with a curious attack strategy - bringing your lunch back up before it makes you its lunch!

    Warning! This episode may cause the following symptoms; scaly skin, vomiting, rolling eyes and deep sighs of disgust at Aaron's 'jokes'.

  • S02E10 Mythtakes Happen - Love in Leo Gravity

    Aaron wouldn't let me name this one Leo's Lumpy Load, and that hurts. A special guest today, our good and handsome friend Leo makes an absolute mockery of the work we have done so far in worldbuilding by bringing science into the mix. Which just isn't fair. Leo takes us through the Birth of the Celestioal Deep, involving more Ants and Black Holes (no revelations). He also has ideas about the Leviathans. We add to the deep canon of the Deep.

  • 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.

  • S02E09 Mythtakes Happen - Never You Mind the Brineblades

    It turns out, podcasting is too hard, and we are going into the privateering business. Aaron and Chris discuss the many difficulties we have had with this season conceptually, and why it is explicitly and unreservedly someone else's fault. Eventually we talk about the Brineblades and Deepwardens, two sides of one mercenary coin. We explore the old, decaying Waystations which serve as their professional ports of call, as well as a brief history of the Orcadian Protectorate and their interesting and not terrifying benefactor Never You Mind.

    We also explore a day in the life of a Marinaut with Coming and Going into the Deep.

  • 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.

  • S02E08 Mythtakes Happen - Brother (of Your Enemy) Where Art Thou

  • 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.

  • S02E07 Mythtakes Happen - Dry Dreams and Glorious Holes

    We return to the Feeble Frontier to explore the moist ins and outs of the Glorious Hole Frontier Casino and the Funky Feebler Tavern Asteroid. We wonder who it was that obliterated the radiogram star as we discuss the Mercuray, a wondrous new form of entertainment storming the Deep.

    And we visit Dryworld, a horrifying aberration in a wet, wet universe.
