About this listen

A podcast where we create and discuss homebrew content for tabletop roleplaying games, primarily Dungeons and Dragons 5e. Here, we try to expand on the options presented to us in the published material, to offer some guidance for aspiring storytellers trying to figure out how to make their big ideas become reality. Here, we stir the pot and lick the spoon. Logo art by David Sutherland - find him on Deviant Art: https://rb.gy/hqmjgoCopyright 2021 All rights reserved.

  • Holiday Special 2025: Forever Home - Episode 181
    Dec 17 2025

    This week, we're getting around to showcasing a game we made almost three years ago: Forever Home! Join us as we play through the hijinks of a social media DIY influence vlogger and their 200-year-old house's attempts to play matchmaker in a game we would consider to be a Hallmark movie prequel.

    You can find Forever Home on our Itch page, https://undercommontaste.itch.io/forever-home, for the low low price of $3! Go pick up your copy today.

    As mentioned in this episode, comedian Deric Cahill has an ongoing bit that he calls "F*** This House", which parallels the sort of scenarios Forever Home is designed to evoke. You can find his videos on most short-form video platforms under the handle @boldfam; here's his YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@boldfam

  • Apocalypse How - An Interview with Rene from Rene Plays Games
    Dec 3 2025

    This week, we're joined by Rene, the host of the Rene Plays Games podcast to talk about post-catastrophe and post-apocalyptic settings. Join us as we discuss ecology, infrastructure, and how to wreck your home town* for the purposes of generating a TTRPG setting.

    * in a fictional sense. Do not actually wreck your home town.

    We've mentioned Rene and his podcast a couple of times in recent months. We strongly encourage everyone to go and check out his work here, or on your podcatcher of choice: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/rene-plays-games-5573891/episodes/recent

  • Everyone Gets a Cantrip! - Episode 179
    Nov 19 2025

    This week, we do a little bit of homebrew worldbuilding, asking the question: what does a setting look like when everyone is capable of casting spells? Join us as we discuss the implications of having a society full of spellcasters, some ways that even combat-focused cantrips could be used as utility spells, and just what to do about Eldritch Blast.
