I’ve been thinking about all the things I’m doing with my website and how to balance that with the upcoming responsibility of graduate school.

Last year I was employed while my wife went to graduate school for her elementary school teaching credential.

At the beginning of September we’ll switch and I’ll  be going to graduate school for molecular biology while my wife teaches 5th grade at the neighborhood public school.

While I’m not stressed now with work, my day-to-day responsibilities, and all the other things I do for fun, that might change.

I saw what my wife went through for her graduate program. Her typical weekday was waking up at 6, leaving at 7:30, and not being done with her classes or her homework until 8PM.

If I have to do the same thing… I might not have time to do blog posts every day, stream every week, or improve the website and attached video channels as often.

I have to add descriptions to half these videos... So much work!!! #sarcasm

Updates won’t stop, but I expect they will reduce in frequency.

I don’t want to make a commitment I can’t keep. I’ve already slipped a little bit on doing updates every weekday.

I usually miss a post because I’ve had a long day and don’t have the mental energy to write something worth reading.

Typically I make up a missed post on the weekend, but I’m still behind by two posts.

I’ll try to make those both up by September, but after that I think I’ll be switching to weekly updates.

I hope my schedule will allow me to write posts more often, but I can’t guarantee that until I’ve started my classes and know for sure what my workload will be.

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.

81 – Biopunk 2287 RPG (Seiya and Synesthesia Synthetica) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Seiya tells us about his TTRPG system and setting, Synesthesia Synthetica (SNS). SNS is a biopunk game adjacent to the cyberpunk and steampunk genres. After an asteroid induced climate disaster, Earth has rebuilt itself using bio-technology instead of the metal based tech that surrounds us in the real world. Genetically modified humans have split into distinct species and mutant horrors prowl the wastes outside civilization. The rich rule from their space stations up above but resistance is growing in the streets below.During the episode we discussed a piece of art that Seiya had made for the game. A picture of that bio-tank is available for you to look at.At the moment, Synesthesia Synthetica is available for free as an early access game on itch.io and DriveThruRPG.If you want to learn more or find a group to play with, you can do that on the Synesthesia Synthetica Discord.Remember to nominate your favorite TTRPG shows/creators/things for the 2026 CRIT Awards!Check out the Setting the Stage website!Want to be on the show?
