But that's not all!

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 finally discover the ONE TRUE FAITH of the Enbrightened , and wonder at the veracity of claims the near-mythical Outlier Stations are making a return to the Deep in its greatest hour of need.

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...

Today we look at the shifting fortunes of the Strom Trading Fleet , the strange but perfectly explainable powers of the Deep's Surgesayers as well as the mysterious and perpetually cold Endarkened Fellowship of the Fridgerati . 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...

S02E02 Mythtakes Happen - Amphibious Antagonism We present the many vessels which traverse the Celestial Deep, including the highly modular Hadopelus . We discuss the societies which may have created the great Outlier Stations and their exotic materials, as well as the Pirates of the Lightless Duchies . We zoom in on Opal Jing , who is definitely not a pirate or an adventurer, as well as talk thro...

S02 Bonus Episode - Monstrous Mythtakes - Silly Snailor on the Seas of Fate A Bonus Episode where each host gives the name of a monster to the other, who has to ON THE FLY come up with a suitable background for it, fitting it into the world of the Celestial Deep. Today we look at the great iron-carapaced and fast-evolving Sparsharks that were a great menace in the early days of Deep exploration. W...

A new season and a new universe! We dive right in and immediately discover more points of conflict and discussion than ever before as we investigate the crucial Slurrbrine , the mysterious nature of the Leviathans , one of the stranger religions and the worlds of Mantarym & Orago . Join us, won’t you? Some Mythtakes Happen, but these ones are on purpose. Episode 01: Fathoms for Favours Supplem...

It’s Season 2! Welcome to the wet and dangerous world of the Celestial Deep. In this setup episode, we discuss our inspirations, how we got to drowning an entire solar system as well as where on Earth this is heading. We decide on some important aspects of our Season 2 setting and set down some vital foundations for this year’s gaming narrative. Join us, won’t you? Some Mythtakes Happen, but these...

Mythtakes Happen is a worldbuilding podcast in its second season. This is a teaser for our set-up episode, coming January 1st. Here we lay the foundations for the glorious, drowned and fading solar system of the Celestial Deep and spend 12 scrumptious episodes adding depth to a setting YOU can use for free in your everyday TTRPG gaming.

Ever wondered how the professionals go about making an adventure from scratch? We wish we knew too! We gave it a crack anyway in our final Episode of Season 1. Chris and Aaron sit down with zero planning before the session (if you don't count all the previous episodes) to write the first playable adventure in Heliakon. We hit all (some) of your favourite places we detailed earlier; Go to Sawtooth...

The final episode of Monstrous Mythtakes for this season. We start off strong with the monumentally colossal Renkian Hellgoat , an animal so large and so volatile and also so mysterious as to render any description of it within the episode notes insufficiently detailed. I suppose you'll have to listen to the podcast after all. That's how we get 'em. Hehehe. We also explore the curious ecology and...

We talk about revolutionary movements in Heliakon and the Illegitimate Children of Foolish Empires and the way that people organise in the face of terrible things. Our world becomes more fleshed out with the addition of further ways we stand against imperialism and colonialism. Definitely no parallels with the real world here. We examine the Great Consociate Empire's Upright Doctrine and its suppo...

A brand new Bonus Episode of Monumental Mythtakes. Today we mix it up and talk about The Artful Dance of the Slime-Bellied Administrator Eagle in Watercolour , a painting of some renown. Who created this sublime art, and what does it mean to the people of Old Helidia? We also touch upon the Cobblestone Tower of Merit and its importance to the culture of the Unfettered League. Can a mere building s...

Gods and godlings galore! A plethora of pagan powers are introduced in The Celestial Pantheon ; twelve definitely gods and two maybe-kinda-sorta-nearly gods are all briefly described and discussed. From the Father of the Great Consociate, Gruvold to Gengolof the Great Scaletipper. From baker gods to bro gods. We then take a deep dive into the highest reaches of society as we examine the Consociate...
