Mythtakes Happen

Just when you thought it was safe to get back into the Deep we bring you a plague that is a fish; the Icthysella Pestis - The Scaly Plague. Chris' description of this flesh-burrowing nightmare is sure to get under your skin! Just when you thought it was safe to, uh, get close to a crevice in the Deep we bring the Vomitory Pukespinner to life - a cephalapod with a curious attack strategy - bringing...

Aaron wouldn't let me name this one Leo's Lumpy Load , and that hurts. A special guest today, our good and handsome friend Leo makes an absolute mockery of the work we have done so far in worldbuilding by bringing science into the mix. Which just isn't fair. Leo takes us through the Birth of the Celestioal Deep , involving more Ants and Black Holes (no revelations). He also has ideas about the Lev...

Today's episode is mostly about scratching too hard, the Australian Census and Halo: Campaign Evolved. While you are mesmerised by these topics we imagineer two real Personal Mythtakes in the form of Science Magister Beladette Perusi, who beat a man to death with a Leviathan as well as the inimitable and uncatchable Cocharello, the Interplanetoid Thief of Masks . But a lot of is it about Halo, and...

It turns out, podcasting is too hard, and we are going into the privateering business. Aaron and Chris discuss the many difficulties we have had with this season conceptually, and why it is explicitly and unreservedly someone else's fault. Eventually we talk about the Brineblades and Deepwardens , two sides of one mercenary coin. We explore the old, decaying Waystations which serve as their profes...

Here we define some important NPC for our wet TTRPG setting of the Celestial Deep. Chris struggles with Soorunoo the Lord of the Dancing Fish, Saviour of Orcadia , an individual who apparently danced with fish and saved Orcadia. Aaron on the other hand wrestles with one Triffany Belkins , who became a central religious figure by sheer chance, and isn't happy about it. In today's Bonus Episode, we...

Or will it all come tumbling down with the return of the Far Outlier Stations , heralded by the mysterious Brother of Your Enemy ? Find out here, unless your weak genetics have long ago been re-written to host an insidious Sleeper Brother . More places for your games inside the C...

SORRY! My bad. Fixed it. - Aaron Not content to create new content for our worlds (get it?), we have also crafted a new kind of bonus episode; Mechanical Mythtakes. Here, we challenge one another to flesh out an item or technology within the setting with only a name to start from. Chris nearly stumps Aaron with a real humdinger. Can you guess what Pocket Acid could possibly be? Can you go back in...

A Monstrous Mythtakes that promises two things - fish and fish. You might think that's the same thing, but it's actually two different kinds of beautiful and deadly fish. We imagineer the Putrid Manfish , a stinky fish that does the unthinkable. And don't forget about the Gaudy Dryfish , interestingly not a fish at all, but very pretty. And sometimes deadly. Join us, won’t you? Some Mythtakes Happ...

We are back to it, and creating more things to cram into our incredible sci-fi TTRPG setting. This time, we are on to a Monumental Mythtakes where each host presents a monument, something left behind from the past, to his counterpart who must then come up with a back-story for it. Today we talk about the mysterious and ancient crimes of the Sleeping Giants of Ikth as well as the fascinating fate o...

17/04/2026 - Now without an extra Audio track that somehow made it to post-production. Love is in the stars, and it stirs there like a great beast. We talk about the Old Man and the Bleeding Moon , a tale as old as space-time. We discuss the Weapons of the Celestial Deep and delve into the strange Ant Civilisation that once almost wiped out humanity. Finally, we ask 'What's the deal with the apoca...

A continuation of last month's BLADES IN THE DARK foray as Aaron desperately tries to convince me that it's the right TTRPG framework for Season 2 of Mythtakes Happen. Spoiler so you don't have to listen to this drivel: I agreed. Also featuring: Sage, a son I LITERALLY created without help from anyone. I tried my best on this one, but as I said last month, this isn't an Actual Play podcast and so...

What secrets are they hiding? We also visit several planets of the Coreward Pact and explore the tradition of mask wearing in the Celestial Deep. Join us, won’t you? Some M...

A BONUS EPISODE where Aaron tries to convince me and my son Sage that Blades in the Dark is the correct system to use as a basis for the Celestial Deep. We present this bonus episode as a bit of a peek behind the proverbial curtain (from the curtain proverb) of how character creation works in Blades in the Dark and how decision-making works in a creative space. This one is rough, folks. The podcas...
