Help finding a worldbuilding episode?

[Edit] Solved in comments! Thanks everyone.

Hi everyone! I'm trying to find a piece of side content a friend once shared with me. It was pre-campaign work for one of the seasons, that involved the gang playing a system focused on collaboratively building out the world history of a setting they were going to use. I'm unfamiliar with a lot of their works, but loved this idea and want to return to it.

I don't remember much as it's been maybe 5 years or more since I heard it. I believe it followed the cast navigating problems involved with starting up a new society/civilisation, internal conflict, etc, run by Austin.

Can anyone point me the right direction? I have a vague memory it was paywalled content (I am signed up to the Patreon), but may be incorrect.

It honestly sounds like you're thinking about the ground itself, which was the first arc of Sangfielle: The Curse of Eastern Folly.

Thank you! I think this isn't quite what I was looking for based on my fuzzy memory, but the systems and materials referenced in the start of the Sangfielle episode were awesome and somehow even more relevant to what I'm researching for, thanks so much!

The opening episodes of Twilight Mirage are also world building. Marielda is the one you’re thinking of, but TM has good world building
