New mini writing challenge! 🌍 World Builder Club! Sep '26: Beyond DEATH! 👻
Spooky season will be here before we know it! Design a form of capital-D "Death" in your fantasy world! 🚨 But don't comment your submission here on YouTube! Comment on this public Patreon post! 👉www.patreon.com/bobworldbuilder/posts/world-builde…
This could be a deity, an undead monster, a ritual, or an artefact, or even a natural phenomenon that reaches beyond the veil or that staves off death, or any other fantastical interpretation that relates to the end of mortal life!
💠Because this prompt is open-ended, start your submission with a name and a category or two: i.e. "Dwupmar The Last Breath - Deity and monster"
💠Then write no more than 4 sentences to detail it, and include at least one sensory detail among your lore and/or mechanics: taste, scent, sound, texture, temperature, pressure, color, shape, etc.
💠For inspiration, get weird. Think of your favorite food, song, or outdoor activity.
💠Submit your "form of Death" as a comment on the post linked above by Fri Sept 18, 2026 to be considered for review in the next podcast episode on @BobsRPGRadio !
💠And reply with hype or constructive feedback on 1+ other comment :)
🤔 What do YOU think is next for D&D Universes Beyond? (After Star Wars) I'm seeing LOTS of predictions. Might discuss in an upcoming video! ***This week's vid goes into why Dark Sun is a "mature" setting now. Check it out Tuesday Aug 18!
🤔 POLL! Which of these D&D announcements / settings are YOU most excited to see? ***I know folks have mixed opinions on at least a couple of them, which we'll talk about in tomorrow's video! Aug 11. ...Then next week, we'll discuss the one that I'm pretty sure is gonna win this poll 😎
I keep forgetting to mention this on YouTube! 🌍 Here's the 'World Builder Club' mini-writing challenge for August: THE SWORD ⚔️
Your new challenge is to design a noteworthy weapon! But this isn't just your version of Excalibur. It can be any kind of weapon, and it must be weird...
💠Write no more than 5 sentences detailing a unique, fantastical weapon!
💠1 sentence must describe an unusual sensory detail: its smell, temperature, weight, texture, state of matter, sound (its voice?), etc.
💠The other 4 sentences should focus around ONE of the following: the weapon's greatest deed, its most famous or infamous wielder, its creator or creation story, its mystical property/properties, perhaps a related faction... and of course, give it a cool name!
💠For inspiration, think about your favorite superhero or monster, and how its powers and personality could translate to an object.
💠Submit your "SWORD" as a comment on the post linked above post by Aug 22, 2026 to be considered for review in the recap podcast episode on @BobsRPGRadio !
💠And reply with hype or constructive feedback on 1+ other comment :)
When do YOU start planning your Halloween RPG sessions? 🎃 In this week's video, I outline a spooky scenario based on randomly selected spooky miniatures! Plus I paint the minis while discussing an important GM lesson from ya boi Brennan Lee Mulligan!
To what extent do you think the Pathfinder community and the game itself will be impacted by Paizo ending their commercial license with Archives of Nethys, which will continue to operate under Paizo's community use policy?
Please elaborate in the comments if you're thinking negative or positive impact, short-term or long-term, etc.

Question for Pathfinder players (inc. GMs):
To what extent do you think the Pathfinder community and the game itself will be impacted by Paizo ending their commercial license with Archives of Nethys, which will continue to operate under Paizo's community use policy?
Please elaborate in the comments if you're thinking negative or positive impact, short-term or long-term, etc.
