Intro theme: "Half Mystery"
Outro Theme: "Study and Relax"
You've glimpsed beyond the veil of this reality to uncover the truth. You've done unspeakable things to get this far. You had a family, you think. The joy they once brought you is now a howling void, scoured from your soul and lost to the magic that beckons to you in your dreams.
"This isn't madness" you assure yourself. "It's the only way I can live in peace, the only way I can make the whispers stop."
You reach out to push open the the old sanitarium door when you notice your pinky finger is missing. You don't remember losing it. Your mind spirals and you hear the blood rushing through your veins, aching for release. You gaze up at the dwindling sun as you sink deeper into the abyss. You are drowning. There is a struggle. Now, a hand on your shoulder, and there is calm. Her hand is comforting, a gentle light in the empty darkness. You feel the hand urge you forward and hear your mother once more.
"This is it darling, it's here."
You stand at the precipice of your salvation. Everything else won't matter soon. It's time.

Throw up your horns and get your calcified fetus club ready because this week we're interviewing legendary game designer Rob Schwalb. In this particularly filthy episode we talk about writing in the industry, the cosmology of the void, and a parasitic cult of the dreaming god.

Worldbuild With Us
Worldbuild With Us is a podcast where we create fantastical worlds with help from you, our listeners.
This podcast is brought to you by Rob…
Important Update
Thank you so much for your continued support, patience, and input. We've been building worlds with you since August of 2019, and after some serious discussion we’ve decided to end Worldbuild WIth Us.
We want to go out with a bang, and so we're dedicating our final episodes to the development of the Last of the Thousand Worlds. We plan to take this thing full circle and end in the month that we started and so August of 2025 will be our last episode. But it wouldn’t be Worldbuild With Us without input from all of you and we hope you'll stick around to be apart of the creative process.
If You Are a Patron
Going forward, we won't be taking any more prompts outside of the Last World, or offering any Patreon perks to patrons (such as early releases, shoutouts, etc).
