Spaghetti Launchers: A Worldbuilding Podcast
This is Spaghetti Launchers, where we throw spaghetti at the wall and its up to you what sticks. We don't want to tell you how to worldbuild, instead we want to provide inspiration and ideas for your worldbuilding project. Each episode we go in-depth on an element of fictional worlds where we come prepared to pitch and develop our ideas. Hopefully our discussions can prompt your own ideas or at the very least give your imagination some exercise. Worldbuilding is a fun process and we are glad to share in that process with you. If you have any topic suggestions...
Crusades
