In this week's episode, I introduce a new Threat Dice program, The Worlds We Weave, a worldbuilding experiment that you can contribute to.

The First Spark: Barkeep
I feel a good start is not an object or location, but a person. After all, stories usually don’t add up to much without them. And this is a person I think many of you will be familiar with as a character that helps launch many of the stories we tell around our game tables: the barkeep.

They might sling ale at the tavern in the village of a magical realm. They may work the cantina of a space station that orbits a mysterious planet. They could tend bar in a sleepy town riddled with shadowy secrets and just up the road from where you live.

Where did they come from? What do they want? Do they know something amazing, something terrible, something no one should ever know? Do they have the recipe for a drink thought lost long ago?
