About this listen

Mythtakes Happen is a worldbuilding podcast where two good friends - Aaron and Chris - create fictional settings for YOU to game in, live in and explore.

Each episode, the hosts develop setting aspects in isolation and hear one another's additions for the very first time during the episode. They collaborate to fit these sometimes contradictory ideas into a cohesive whole, sometimes altering fundamental parts of each other's contributions.

Some Mythtakes Happen, but these ones are on purpose. Join us, won't you?

  • S01E05 Mythtakes Happen - Snad by Me
    May 14 2025

    We meet the Chods, the Hobbs and the Tomeworms as we take a deep dive into the Gangs of South Heliakon. But let's not forget the slippery and dangerous Butternut Boys! We celebrate Fettersval, Gruvolly and talk about the mournful day of Catacord. A bit of a theme today, and well worth tuning in for this extra-long, action-packed episode.

    We also explore the many Districts of North Heliakon, get into the interesting world of finance with the Bank Building of Benson, Benson and Byrde and take a peek into the inner-workings of these economic powerhouses. And for a bit of light entertainment, we talk a bit about the very real, very competitive sport of Platterbone.

  • S01E04 Mythtakes Happen - Helluva Heliadog
    Apr 14 2025

    Today's episode explores the cutthroat world of a 'Lodge of Snakes', as well as the infamous 'Meatgrinder Lodge'. We talk about the secrets of magic, the methodologies and ways of various will-workers in our fantasy world and the linguistic sentence spells of the Vaesta. What does this mean for the continent of Delmarin and what toll do these magical paradigms take on the casters?

    Likewise, we take a sneak-peek at the elusive Stygiad Council, their faceless goddess and a history of mystery stretching back to time immemorial. There is also the patriotic Heliadog. A deliciously scrumptious episode awaits.

  • S01E03 Mythtakes Happen - Minions: Rise of Gruvold
    Mar 14 2025

    We return to the glorious city of Heliakon and imagineer Orcs, but here we come to an impasse. Do we stay with the depressed and pessimistic orcs wrought by Chris or do we instead make a place in the world for Aaron's all-singing, all-dancing magical bard orcs? Listen to find out.

    We learn about the famous Stratomaach Serfé Mirakore; Queen of the Golden River and her contributions during the great war which tore our city asunder. We define a God important both to Orcs and the Great Consociate Empire, talk about the military ranks of the Unfettered League and even have a small gander at the useful, but sticky Slime Amulets,

    Once again recording from a (slightly clearer) fish tank.
