Richard KL ,

Insightful and sometimes hilarious worldbuilding

This show takes a deep dive into re-imagining familiar monsters and cryptids. It's a great starting point if you're someone looking to build something more interesting than the default monsters you'd find in a sourcebook for a TTRPG, or if you just like to think more deeply about monsters, ecosystems, and Weird Stuff.
