S02E09 Mythtakes Happen - Never You Mind the Brineblades
It turns out, podcasting is too hard, and we are going into the privateering business. Aaron and Chris discuss the many difficulties we have had with this season conceptually, and why it is explicitly and unreservedly someone else's fault. Eventually we talk about the Brineblades and Deepwardens, two sides of one mercenary coin. We explore the old, decaying Waystations which serve as their professional ports of call, as well as a brief history of the Orcadian Protectorate and their interesting and not terrifying benefactor Never You Mind.We also explore a day in the life of a Marinaut with Coming and Going into the Deep.Join us, won’t you?

S02 Bonus Episode - Personal Mythtakes - Dance Like Salmon's Watching
Here we define some important NPC for our wet TTRPG setting of the Celestial Deep. Chris struggles with Soorunoo the Lord of the Dancing Fish, Saviour of Orcadia, an individual who apparently danced with fish and saved Orcadia. Aaron on the other hand wrestles with one Triffany Belkins, who became a central religious figure by sheer chance, and isn't happy about it.In today's Bonus Episode, we fill in more blanks in our setting, giving players several avenues of approaching the space opera beneath the churning seas that we have created for you.Join us, won’t you?

UPDATED S02 Bonus Episode - Mechanical Mythtakes - Please Krill Me Now
SORRY! My bad. Fixed it. - AaronNot content to create new content for our worlds (get it?), we have also crafted a new kind of bonus episode; Mechanical Mythtakes. Here, we challenge one another to flesh out an item or technology within the setting with only a name to start from. Chris nearly stumps Aaron with a real humdinger. Can you guess what Pocket Acid could possibly be? Can you go back in time and give Aaron a hand? He needs it, the hairy fool. Chris expertly, sexily defines the terrifying Krill Mask, giving it a visage and place in history.Join us, won’t you?
