Worldbuild With Us Episode 217: The Wound in the Earth (Land of a Thousand Spores Part 2)In the second part of this patron prompt, we borrow from a slew of movies to craft a mostly-subterranean adventure full of zombie dinosaurs, crystalline dwarven-halfling-gnome scouts, spooky sand clerics, and heaps of hijinks!

Worldbuild With Us Episode 198: The Sunken Place (Land of a Thousand Extremes)This week, another new listener has us venturing onto a post-post-apocalyptic planet that's become tidally locked, with only a narrow ring of habitable territory separating the sun-scorched side from the other half's frozen darkness. Listen in to sail the brackish sea, traverse the rust dunes, and hone your psychic efficiency...and to find out what fun new phobia Rob discovers! P.S.
