About Mythtakes Happen

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?

[…] We never know. We truly never know, Aaron. But I hope there are many more of these. The next episode is going to be one where we just talk about all the things that we didn't use and are they interesting. But this episode, we're going to do a Monstrous Myth Takes. we have not done a lot of monstrous myth takes this season not a huge number i think partly because we were more enamored with the personal myth takes but also i think at one point i said that i was struggling to find monsters that are not fish um a problem yes there was a problem uh but then i realized that actually things other than fish can exist in our universe because they it does they do um uh and then i think we never picked it up again until now until now this exciting episode which i'm loving i do not remember who's going first in this monstrous myth takes do you want to just um like junk and pong it Yeah, let's do it.
