Improvised fantasy lore with a beating heart.
All My Fantasy Children turns prompts and passing ideas into a long-running shared fantasy universe called Fantasy. Its episodes move between loose, funny worldbuilding sessions and earnest serialized drama about magic, demons, trains, vampires, games, and impossible responsibilities.

All My Fantasy Children is a tabletop-inspired storytelling project with the density of a homegrown fantasy epic and the looseness of two friends building at speed. Aaron Catano-Saez and Jeff Stormer work from prompts, accidents, jokes, and sudden emotional swerves. The result is Fantasy, a shared world that has accumulated characters, myths, cosmic sisters, demons, magical transport, strange games, and serialized drama across many episodes. It is not a rules-first actual play show. It is more like a creative forge with microphones on. One episode can imagine a stone game where place, community, and danger reshape the quest in front of the players. Another can turn an undersea subway into a lived-in culture with etiquette, local knowledge, hidden rules, and the feeling of a city beneath a city. A vampire episode with Dillin Apelyan bends immortality toward loneliness, memory, and the cost of being known. The show loves big fantasy machinery, but it rarely leaves an idea at machinery. It asks what a spell does to a community, what a game does to a person, and what a villain’s power reveals about the world around them. The audio drama side gives that lore a sharper dramatic frame. Celeste Silverna’s story brings ley lines, demonic power, nightmare spaces, magical bows, and an unwanted call to fight for people living in fear. The style can be loud, profane, silly, and maximalist. Then it turns tender without apology. Closing beats often become small manifestos about rest, self-care, joy, creative passion, and refusing to let difficult times erase what matters. That mix is the show’s signature. It treats goofy fantasy prompts as serious play, and serious feelings as part of the same imaginative work. The pacing favors riffs, escalation, and sudden synthesis over tidy lecture. Listeners get the pleasure of invention before it hardens into canon. They also get a record of friendship and creativity lasting long enough to become its own mythology. All My Fantasy Children is best approached as a living notebook for people who love fantasy worlds while they are still being made.
Made for: For tabletop fans, fantasy worldbuilders, character creators, and listeners who enjoy lore-heavy comedy with sincere emotional stakes. It especially suits people who like hearing ideas take shape in real time.
What sets it apart: The show is less interested in playing through a system than in turning prompts into lasting canon. Its improvised jokes, serialized audio drama, and recurring reflections on care and creativity make the world feel handmade rather than merely mapped.
Each week, Aaron Catano-Saez and Jeff Stormer take a listener-submitted prompt and spin it into an original fantasy character. Tweet us a character prompt: @AMFC_Podcast Email us a character prompt: [email protected]
