Hello dear listeners and welcome back to another episode of World Forge!  This week we decided to just fully give up on being able to come up with names for characters ourselves and decided to build characters based on random names of prescription drugs, which all sound like made up fantasy words anyway. This weeks rec room is to go and check out the Cuphead Show!  If you liked the game or are just looking for something short and easily digestible on netflix we definitely hope you take a look!

Welcome back listeners to another episoede of World Forge!  This week Piper and I are continuing our discussion of the custom world building prompts we cooked up for each other.  We also may have accidentally included the first episode of our Hadestown fancast somewhere in the middle there. This weeks rec room is once again Pipers new podcast Eyre Buds!  Each week Piper and friend of the podcast, Lillian Cotter, dissect a different adaptation of the classic novel Jane Eyre!  Some are great, some are terrifying, but all are fun!  Give them a follow HERE and wherever fine pods are cast! We also have to recommend you go and listen to Hadestown if you haven't yet.  Not only is it one of our favorite pieces of media EVER but it also was clear inspiration for a lot of what we worked on in this episode!

Welcome back to another (rewind) episode of World Forge!  We're traveling this week and weren't able to get an episode out in time for release so we hope you enjoy this look back into another classic episode of the show.  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!
