Mythtakes Happen

Written by: Chris Zhang and Aaron Braegen
  • Summary

  • 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.

  • S01E02 Mythtakes Happen - Glass Half Ghoul
    Feb 14 2025

    Episode 2. Recording in person, but from a fish tank. We learn about the ghouls of Heliakon, and meet Liman Jorush, a very nice man with nothing to hide. There are secrets hiding in these undead creatures which could spell the end of the city. We zoom out of Heliakon itself and take a look at the great continent of Delmarin and the nations and city-states which still fiercely cling to independence despite the presence of our two hungry imperial powers. What can they do in the face of such cultural and military behemoths?

    We take a look at DUNGEONS. Beneath this ancient city lie the Deepvaults, labyrinthine corridors and remnants of previous civilisations. In their depths, the Unfettered League and the Great Consociate Empire both dig into the past to secure a future of their own design. But how deep is too deep?

  • S01E01 Mythtakes Happen - Heliakonversations
    Jan 14 2025

    In the first episode of Mythtakes Happen, we begin to create and define a fantasy world centred on the partitioned city of Heliakon. It is an ancient metropolis carved up by two great powers who once fought to a standstill before signing the armistice which led to its partition.

    Who are the Unfettered League and the Great Consociate Empire? What do they want and what will they do to get it? We visit Brightmarket and the mysterious Brazen Dome as well as the district of Melodwynn. We meet the Interbellum Guard of the Serpentine Wall, talk about magic in our world and so much more.

  • S01 Bonus - Small Mythtakes
    Jan 31 2025

    Chris and Aaron play a dangerous game with teleportation and cults. In Small Mythtakes we try out a quick format for quick thinkers (not Chris) where each host presents the other with an Artefact, a Place and a Person and the other host has to come up with how these things fit into our world on the fly. There's a well, a staff, a cult leader, a peace sceptic and the best Joker™ themed weapon that money can buy.

    Are some of the setting references not making sense? Good. Keep listening. They are from the future.
