Hello and welcome to the GoCorral.

I’m saying that more to myself than anyone else. I’ve been thinking of starting a blog for awhile now. I post a lot of things on Facebook, hoping and praying that my friends will read them and then miraculously share them with their friends. Then the sharing will get around until a Very Important Person reads it and inevitably that VIP will recognize my value and worth as a writer or a scientist or a photographer and want to take me under their wing as sort of a Vice VIP. Unfortunately, the only posts on Facebook that get shared that much are chain letters.

My cousin has one of those Facebook chain letters going right now. The first five people to post “I’m in!” on her status and repost her status will receive a special gift from her this year. The catch is in the reposting. They have to do something for five other people as well. Just like in the movie, Pay It Forward. I hope my cousin’s status doesn’t end with a fatal stabbing like that movie did.

My plan for this blog is to post something once every weekday night about whatever I might be thinking about at the time. I’m a nerd who likes to play video games and read Greek and Roman classics, so those topics should come up pretty often. I’m also recently married, out of college, playing D&D, applying to grad schools, and hoping that VIP will notice me, as always. Some of my posts may be informative. Some of them may be opinions on politics or other conversational topics. Others might be fiction stories I’ve written. I’m also definitely planning on posting some of my D&D sessions here.

So… Let’s see how it goes!

    Oh, I remember that gift Facebook chain thing. I’m glad people are still doing it.

Welcome to the GoCorral website! I’m Isaac Shaker and this is a place for me to write about D&D and occasionally other topics. I host a podcast called Setting the Stage that interviews different DMs about their campaigns. I’m currently focused on completing the Cimmeria campaign setting and turning it into a book.

The Fallout TV show has ended, but you can still get more Fallout in your life with TTRPGs!Kylie talked with me about her actual play campaign, Fallout: The Garden of Atom. The show follows Pete and Reed as they leave their Vault in Florida. They travel towards Orlando in search of Pete's father who left Vault 71 a few years previously. Along the way they meet the wasteland survivor, Ruthie, and the Mrs. Nurse robot, Hawke. The campaign is played using Modiphius's Fallout 2d20 system, the perfect TTRPG for the Fallout universe.You can listen to the Fallout: The Garden of Atom show on Kylie's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMlGSIdwPJnmOAps3VvZXwjJUWgo_pLAQIf you like more shows like that you can find more about them on the Dicescape website: https://www.dicescape.com/And for everything Kylie, check out her Linktree and various socials: https://linktr.ee/kriticalroseAlso if you want to try out the official Fallout 2d20 system made by Modiphius, check it out on their website: https://modiphius.net/en-us/pages/fallout-the-roleplaying-gameOur website: https://gocorral.com/stsWant to be on the show?
