Who He Was
Pedro Galicia was born on January 16, 1981 in South Bend, Indiana, and spent his life doing the one thing he believed in most: building community around the things he loved.
After graduating from Washington High School in 1999, Pedro went to work at the St. Joseph County Public Library, where he founded Save-Point — a teenage outreach program where kids could spend their after-school hours playing video games and board games, and competing in tournaments. He was proud of every kid who found community and comfort there. Even after he left the library, Pedro never stopped creating communities around him.
A lifelong Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast, Pedro spent over 20 years organizing, writing, and leading campaigns with his friends. In 2016 he launched World Walkers, his most ambitious creation — a multiverse of interconnected homebrew worlds he'd been building for decades, now shared with the world as a podcast. Over the next five years he produced over 300 episodes across four shows, building a warm global community of listeners along the way.
Pedro also expressed his love of gaming through his webcomics Rule Zero and MOBS, and through his beloved brother Frankie, with whom he made Colossus Vs The World — a joyful, chaotic podcast that is its own kind of treasure.
He lived for his two most important people: his spouse Jess, and his child Willow.
After a long battle with cancer, Pedro passed away on July 30, 2021, at age 40, at home, surrounded by family and friends.
World Walkers Universe
245 episodes across four shows. All free. All preserved. Pedro edited and produced every one of them — many while battling cancer. You can still subscribe in any podcast app.
A funny 5th Edition D&D actual play podcast set in Pedro's custom multiverse of homebrew worlds. The flagship — 194 episodes across 5 seasons.
Airships, gunslingers, ex-slave wargolems, and a shattered kingdom of magic. A spinoff set in the Steam-Powered World of Cog.
When Destiny calls, these people hang up immediately. The original World Walkers cast, new characters, same beloved chaos.
Pedro's brother Frank takes on the role of Colossus while knowing absolutely nothing about the Marvel Universe. A pure joy from start to finish.
Patreon members get even more. Pedro's Patreon has been running for nearly 10 years and includes 700+ exclusive posts — bonus episodes, The Travelers, Brummelstone's Day Off, and more. The paywall has been removed, so everything is free to access. Explore the archive →
