It's been a wild time for us at Dungeon Deep Dive, and due to a number of factors (new host, holidays, Tully forgetting to check the goddamn mics) we'll be taking a holiday hiatus. Rest assured, that doesn't mean you'll have to go without quality content, it just won't be quite as much. This week you get to hear us speculate on the real origin of Mickey's power, and how exactly he can do all the things he does.

Rest assured, that doesn't mean you'll have to go without quality content, it just won't be quite as much. Here are some outtakes from previous episodes, or little details we thought needed to be remembered.

When we think of plagues, the black death is surely the most iconic (and terrifying) example. This week, Tully gets right into the nuts and bolts of how to build a disease for optimal virulence. We check out symptoms, systems, and modes of transmission, before breaking into some fictional and real examples. Then Lachlan talks about the realities of plague life. We go into the social heartbreak that the plague brought with it, why it might not be the culprit we think it is, and mistake...

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not help but wonder what that meant for my world! This week, we sadly bid farewell to Danae, but soldier on to ask "what's the deal with roads?". Lachlan takes a look at the distances a historical citizen may have travelled, and the answer may surprise you... Or it may not. You won't know until you've listened. Then Tully explores the art of road construction, and what that could mean for your travel. Then we go on to prove that we can...

Dungeons and Dragons has become one of the world's favourite fantasy tabletop games, and with the advent of fifth edition it quickly skyrocketed into the public eye. So what could there be to complain about? LOTS! In this episode, Lachlan and Tully go through some of their gripes from D&D 5e. First we take a look at Wild Magic, and ways to make it WILDER! Then we look at monks, and we think they should be MONKIER! Then, we look at indefinite madness, and we make it... more accurately...

This week, we are taking a step back in time! and not just in the history way either. Danaë was out sick, so we dug through an old hard drive we bought off a dark web arms dealer and what would you know? It's our lost sewers ep! So hey, why not give it to you guys? What could possibly go wrong?

We decided to get a little bit scary for halloween, and looked into the great beyond! Plus a little bit of history of divination.

This week on Dungeon Deep Dive we search for answers among the stars. We've all heard about the denial of science throughout history, but what would people actually know? Would a medieval world understand the stars, and what would they do if they did? We answer these questions and more as we break down the state of astronomy in the middle ages and how it was used. So cast your eyes towards the heavens and settle in as Lachlan, Danae and Tully discuss astronomy.

Danae, Lachlan, and Tully get in touch with their scholarly roots once more! Journeying through what makes a library, what comes from censorship, and even a study of the Great Library of Alexandria, we explore the how and why of libraries in your world.

The moon is full, the night is dark, and terrible beasts are on the hunt. Stay a while, safe and secure as we look into werewolves throughout history. Did people ever actually believe in werewolves? Why? and what did wolves ever do to anyone? And 1 in every hundred thousand listeners wi be directed to an episode where we even give an idea of how to use all of that in one quest. Were you lucky enough to hear it?

This week the team at Dungeon Deep Dive gets morbid, as they explore all things vampire. Get ready for death, disease, and devils! Once again, we're working with funky audio, but as always we bring that juicy juicy content.

This week the Dungeon Deep Drive gang dives on into the aquatic world of mermaids to really find out what they’d be like, look like and… love like.

This week on Dungeon Deep Dive, we explore domestication and the vast impacts it's had on our world. Lachlan and Tully are alone in the studio once again, so we're in for a wild ride.

What is breakfast? Is it important? What's in it? These are just some of the important questions we'll explore as Lachlan and Tully tackle the studio on their own. It's amazing what you can get into with something as simple as a morning meal.

This week on Dungeon Deep Dive we talk about all things tattoos and fantasy! We want to stress up top that this episode IS permanent, so consider what that would be like in 30 years before you listen. To help ensure that you understand tattoos and how they have been used, Danäe explains some of the vast and fascinating history of tattoos in the real world and the ever-shifting attitudes towards them. Tully then explores some of the most intense historical techniques for creating tattoos and...

This week on Dungeon Deep Dive, we attempt to unravel the secrets of alchemy... AGAIN! In part two, we look into the history of potions, the science of chemical weapons, and the dangers of giving your players powerful poisons. Then, we do it anyway and create a powerful poison for political intrigue...

This week on Dungeon Deep Dive, we attempt to unravel the secrets of alchemy. But this is too much for one episode, so we've done two! In part one, we look into the history of alchemical transmutation, turning lead to gold, and the secret to eternal life. Then, we bring a little bit of alchemy into your world...

This week on Dungeon Deep Dive, we dig into the local community politics of religion. Your fantasy city will need some temples, and we tell all about how to make them work.

This week on Dungeon Deep Dive, we spill the beans (or the froth all over your pants, if you're Danaë) on how to accurately and interestingly include breweries and alcohol of all kinds in your worldbuilding.

Yo ho, yo ho and a bottle of rum! Pirates, buccaneers, corsairs and privateers... Everyone likes a bit of swashbuckling action and high seas adventure! Whether you're planning a Dungeons & Dragons tabletop session aboard a pirate ship or writing a scene on a charming captain, here's what you need to know (and a few things you really don't) about pirates.

Listen out for our first episode!
