Mythtakes Happen

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.

    Some Mythtakes Happen, but these ones are on purpose. Join us, won't you?

  • S01E03 Mythtakes Happen - Minions: Rise of Gruvold
    Mar 14 2025

    We return to the glorious city of Heliakon and imagineer Orcs, but here we come to an impasse. Do we stay with the depressed and pessimistic orcs wrought by Chris or do we instead make a place in the world for Aaron's all-singing, all-dancing magical bard orcs? Listen to find out.

    We learn about the famous Stratomaach Serfé Mirakore; Queen of the Golden River and her contributions during the great war which tore our city asunder. We define a God important both to Orcs and the Great Consociate Empire, talk about the military ranks of the Unfettered League and even have a small gander at the useful, but sticky Slime Amulets,

    Once again recording from a (slightly clearer) fish tank.

  • 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.
