    Ser2.9 - So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (For Now!)

    As we wrap up the series, we ask the question: was it any good? We think... perhaps? In the final episode before an undetermined hiatus, the Lorekeepers review their second series, drawing all the elements together.

    And that's a wrap! Thank you all so much for listening to our creative worldbuilding endeavor. It's been a powerful experience to share this, week in and out with all of you. And while there's no way that it's over, we will be taking a hiatus from releases. At this time we don't know when we'll be back, but we can assure you it is a question of when, not if.

    Until then, don't worry. There are always more tales to tell.

    Goodbye!

    Ser2.6 - View through the Pinhole

    Halûmians tend to shape reality as much as it shapes them. When they stop to ask where it all comes from and what are the smallest building blocks of existence, what do they find? This week we investigate that.

    Ser2.5 - Heart of Alloy

    This week we explore the world of (non-)magical alloy, and examine mithril in particular. Is it an alloy, or a process? Well, the answer is kindof both.

    Enjoy!

    We come around again to the subject of Ashglaze. We have a rough idea of what it is and where, but how does it get used, and by whom?

Great podcast

Fantastic dive into the process of worldbuilding though example. The world they created together is an amazing tapestry of interconnected stories and ideas makes me wish I had a fellow world builder to bounce ideas off of

Unique and Captivating Content

I’m only a few episodes in, but really enjoy the narratives at the beginning. Along with everything after involving the actual Worldbuilding.

Worldbuilding with Style

The Lorekeepers podcast introduces new stories, characters, and locations each week as the hosts - Carter and Frank - collaborate in building a richly detailed and engaging fantasy world. Those generally interested in fantasy will find things to love here (an evolving magic system, fantasy races with flare, diverse deities), but worldbuilders, anyone interested in fictional histories and mythologies, and those that appreciate functional fantasy settings (the world being built can be used for D&D) will be particularly engaged.

Any podcast is only as good as its host(s). Frank and Carter have a playful and welcoming rapport that invites listeners to laugh along and revel in their on-mic realizations and discoveries. There is a literal invitation, too, as they open the floor listeners to engage with them and participate in the creative process online at the end of each episode!

In a nutshell, the podcast makes me happy.
