Thirty Minute Worlds – Details, episodes & analysis

In the most unhinged episode that the pod lads are capable of producing, ghosts grow tired of keeping up the "are they or aren't they real" charade, and have resoundingly told humanity: "We're real, and we can do sick stunts." Ghosts start doing gnarly, grindhouse stunts and pulling in reality TV deals left and right, but there's one monkey wrench in this plan: the Catholic Church, which is worried about this new spiritual trend. How will the new spectral extreme sports industry handle the aims of the Vatican?

Prompts: Ghost. Spy. Extreme.

In what will later be described as the chillest Walter-led world of all time, the Lads take you to the nation of Vargskyre, where long ago, the greatest king the country--High King Ksogga--took his own life after a year of terrible personal misfortune, plunging his empire into ruin. Now, Ksogga reigns as the God of Bad News, and the church of Vargskyre, to avert disaster, institutes a religious law that bad news can only be delivered on one day each year. Prompts: Holiday. Delivery. Morning.

Do you like swords? Do you like swords that have a mind of their own? Do you also like extended metaphors for the iniquities of a generation passing to another?

Proving once again that their previously-promised upload schedule is subject entirely to their fickle whims, the boys harass their old creative writing professor, reclusive satyr Junius Wright III, to take part in the show. In this episode, the gang whips up a world where gods eat each other to gain more spiritual power. The implications of this are thoroughly discussed, and Wright gets to plug his Three Dimensional Stories Project--the premiere collaborative worldbuilding project in the multiverse.

WE'RE BACK! Walter comes down to visit and the boys record in person for the first time. Their minds obliterated by shitty light beer, none of them could remember what this episode was about. In lieu of a coherent description, we're going to present, unaltered, the notes the boys scrawled on a Papa John's box:

THE CRABSTAR, ZOM extending a claw-shaped solar flare to wipe out the planet

spider crab people, whole ass crustaceans spider crab people came from space?

in order to generate enough force, they would have to destroy the planet, underground steam geyser

zach rants about gravity or some shit

Belvin's momentary absence from the podcast is all it takes for the boys to strike creative gold. In the far future, bioweapons have advanced to the point of sophistication that would make any war an extinction-level event. The Earth's greatest athletes play games of golf inside giant, space-ready robots to resolve international disputes. But the mysterious Dark Golfer and the secretive organization NOCOUNTRY have an alternative, terrifying vision of the future, and they're disrupting the game in order to make it a reality.

Prompt words: Bioweapon. Shoes. Golf.

Back in the saddle, back buildin' worlds. The great god Olag, gatekeeper to the afterlife, has discovered his new ambition: amassing hoards of wealth. He begins exporting spirit glass with magical properties to those on earth, causing all sorts of problems and technically using ghosts as slave labor. This setting earned worldbuilding's highest honor: The Worldbuilding Magazine Croix d’Honneur, which entitles the recipients to one "talk with someone who works at Hulu" that will never pan out.

Prompt words: Prison. Glass. Aspire.
