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?

  • S01E07 Mythtakes Happen - Hero to Halo
    Jul 14 2025

    Today we talk about the Gods. They're real in the world of Heliakon, and it is well known that great heroes of the age can one day ascend to those heavenly realms. But how exactly does that work, and what happens on the journey from Zero to Zeus? A conversational episode where we explore the metaphysical mechanics of divinity and more.

    We talk about the realities of living in a partitioned city, touch on the use of wraithquartz by both sides of the conflict as well as how each faction feels about war which culminated in Heliakon's great partition.

  • S01E06 Mythtakes Happen - Gnome Pain, Gnome Gain
    Jun 14 2025

    There's something wrong the gnomes. Learn all about it and how to protect yourself from the scourge of the Gnome Plague. Also featuring Shatterfolk, crossbows and the dreams of small things and big things, young things and old... so very old... things.

    Learn how Gnomes and Goblins are held together by dreams of different sorts. Learn why you should just 'trust the process' and why priests of Gruvold dislike crossbows.

    As a fun little bonus, we ask each other a personal question each in Ready, Setting, Go!

    Not THAT personal. We're not that kind of podcast.

  • 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.
