Thirty Minute Worlds episodes

  • 'Three Minute Worlds'
    Corporate is about to demolish the podcast and turn it into a Melting Pot franchise, and the only way the Lore Lads can save it is by building four worlds in 20-ish minutes. New episodes will now release Wednesday, instead of Saturday.

  • ‘The Arachnid Union’
    In the carcasses of kaiju-sized spider monstrosities, a hideous, teeming society begins to spread its reach across the furthest reaches of the jungle. Millions of predatory spiders have unified into a rudimentary society. Their aim? To prolong the grotesque flesh feasts that keep their awful gods sated. May also diverge into a cooking anime.
     
    Prompt words: Union. Spider. Chef.

  • 'Nation of Fools'
    All four boys are on deck, and they deliver a setting where twin gods--one devoted to Reason, the other to Tomfoolery--duke it out in the lowest-stakes cosmic chess game imaginable. Your enjoyment of the setting may vary wildly depending on how funny you find pratfalls to be. Belvin being an actual circus clown in real life contributes greatly to this bit. 
     
    Prompt words: Fireworks. Chalice. Fool.

  • 'True Cuts: Redux'

    We return to our most promising world of season one.


    We return to 24th century Earth besieged by an all-consuming hivemind of hair. We return to the hair-obsessed aliens, the Pompadorians, that have given chase to it across the galaxy bringing every sentient creature into the fold of their federation along the way. We return to POMADE, the brave monastic order of barber-knights that defend the Earth from bad hair with techniques both human and alien and both mundane and fantastic. We return to The Growth and its legions of puppets and death. We return to the audacious hope that Earth is not lost, and we return to the ways, however small and ineffectual, that it can be freed one head or one follicle at a time.

  • 'Moth K Ultra'
    What happens when you combine Chessman's love for aeronautic nerderie with boilerplate consciousness-expansion bullshit? You get whatever this setting is--where super intelligent moths menace a Cold War-level society by bombarding us with mind altering compounds. Our only defense: hyper-aware, psychically trained fighter pilots (and McCarthyite secret police).
     
    Prompt words: Glory. Curse. Hippies.
