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.

Hello listeners and welcome back to another episode of World Forge!  This week we're talking about how to make your towns and settlements interesting, and specifically how to fill them with fascinating NPCs and quests!  But that's not all!  Not only do we create an interesting settlement perfect for you DnD, Pathfinder, or even Starfinder game, we build a whole new world with it's own rules and limitations for you to use as you see fit.  We fill this world with all kinds of characters, both good and bad, and we would love to hear how you find ways to utilize them in your games!

We're back this week with another exciting episode, after an even more exciting week of (forcibly) renovating our apartment.  Unfortunately this week we were attacked by our own pipes and were forced to vacate our studio/apartment for a whole week while repairs were done.  Luckily for you it on served to inspire and invigorate us to create ruins and wreckage to match the disaster that was our own home over the past few days.

Hello listeners and thanks for joining us again for another episode of World Forge!  We are freshly back from a much needed vacation and wanted to take some time talking about how to look out for inspiration in your daily lives (or travels!) and try to build some interesting stories and places based on some of our favorite places we've traveled to!

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!

Welcome back listeners to yet another episode of World Forge!  This week we are tackling the classic topic of animal fantasy!  Believe it or not there's a lot of precedent for these types of stories in DnD already, but we take a swing at building some of our own anyway.

From a grumpy lizard and his faithful turtle friend, to an eagle with a chip on his shoulder, we spin tales of all manner of animals from all parts of the food chain.  We also talk about some of our favorite examples of animal fantasy in movies, tv, and literature.

and an advertisement for silence in movie theaters

Welcome back to a slightly delayed episode of World Forge!  This one's a bit shorter because honestly...  we just needed a chill one this week.  However the insanity of our lives hasn't stopped us from bringing the heat of the World Forge to your podcast feed!

This week we're talking about another listener requested topic, and helping to build out some interesting stories for their world!  Our good friend @HolyCaGnolli on twitter asked us to take a swing at designing some interesting ships, crews, and stories for a campaign they're working on based on the idea of theirs of a ship made of living wood captained by druids.  We ended up with a detailed exploration of that ship, a rival ship, and a divine quest to release the wandering souls trapped aboard another derelict druidic ship.

Welcome back to another episode of World Forge!  This week we decide to explore a pretty interesting change in format by having our first episode without our proprietary prompt generation technology!  Instead we are using booster packs of Magic the Gathering cards to guide our creations!  Our aim was to show how inspiration can come from anywhere, and we utilize the art, the flavor text, and the mechanics of these cards to inform our Dungeons and Dragons creations!  We also delve briefly into the world of ASMR so you know...  if that's your thing you're welcome.

Our goal was to use these prompts to tell THE GREATEST STORY OF ALL TIME and obviously we succeeded because hey it's us.

As always, if you enjoyed this episode or want to share any feedback please consider reaching to us on on social media!  What do you think is the greatest story ever told?  Do you have any ideas about how to improve or expand upon our creations?  If so we can be found on twitter @worldforgepod and via email at [email protected]!  We're always excited to hear from our listeners, and if you send us something really interesting we may just share it on air!  If you're feeling particularly generous, please consider leaving us a review on Apple Podcasts, or your podcasting app of choice!

Welcome back to another episode of World Forge!  This time we're talking about creating interesting evil lairs and bad guy hideouts.  The place you conduct your business out of says a lot about you as a supervillain, so we want to help make sure all you villains out there are fully equipped to carry out your dark deeds in style!

We talk about some of our favorite evil hideouts, and then go on to create some of our own including: a speakeasy for creatures of the night, and a magical baseball stadium/casino!
