Logan was a PC on my campaign run by my friend with the screen name, thewamp. He never developed a strong connection with the character and eventually switched to Tagenadi. Thus Logan was never fully fleshed out and was essentially a pile of numbers. I still liked him as a character so I filled in the gaps and made what you see here!

Logan is the surviving Guildmaster of the Phoenix Adventurers Guild, a respected member in the Second Alliance and the Rebellion, as well as the only wielder of hellfire magic. His hellfire magic allows Logan to supercharge his offensive magic at the expense of his own lifeforce.

Logan’s parents were Rebels in Gazeara. He grew up with the Rebellion being the only thing he knew. Logan wanted to please his parents by devoting his whole life to the Rebellion. He began to study magic to discover weapons and techniques useful to the war effort. He extensively studied the Great Fire near the Gazeara Palace. An eternal flame with heat such as the Great Fire was a theoretical impossibility. He studied the Fire itself and read all the writings he could find on it. When his research was complete, Logan went to the Fire at midday and performed a secret ritual. He was gifted amazing power, but at an unknown cost.

Wishing to know more about what his newfound arcane powers could do, Logan left Gazeara and joined the Adventurers Guild in Phoenix. He excelled at the missions given to him and rose quickly through the Guild ranks. He soon took a master’s position within the Guild. He worked with the Guild and the Alliance Council to defend Phoenix as best he could. After the fall of Phoenix, Logan went to Jipangu to train the recruits there who already possessed innate magical skills.

When Logan learned that the Rebellion retook Gazeara he rushed to defend his hometown. On arrival he was devastated to discover that his family had perished in their struggle to reclaim their homeland from the Xorians. That night Logan vowed to use his fiery power to extinguish the Xorian Empire. Over the past few weeks he has spent more time working with the Great Fire under the sun to come up with a new type of magic to use against the Amazon army that besieges Gazeara.

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.

Setting the Stage Podcast

71 – Aaron Ryan and Dissonance/The End Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

I talked with Aaron Ryan about two of his book series, Dissonance and The End.Dissonance is a near future world where aliens have attacked, killing most humans and animals on Earth and driving humans into hiding underground. Humans finally develop technology to fight back and the war enters a new stage while the characters also struggle to determine the motivation for the alien invasion and nefarious actions of the government.The End is a Christian End Time series based loosely on the events described in Revelations. A man calling himself Nero has risen to rule over the world and he has outlawed Christianity. Robots called Guardians hunt Christians throughout the world, murdering them on the spot if they don't recant their faith. A resistance movement works in the shadows against Nero, but things aren't looking good for them.We talked about the basics of those settings along with how they could be adapted for RPG campaign settings. My main recommendations were Ashes Without Number, Spire, and Blades in the Dark.If you're interested in reading Aaron's books you can find them at most any bookstore or library. Both of the series are also being adapted into movies, but aren't publicly available yet. Aaron's website is https://authoraaronryan.com/ for the latest updates on his work. Next up for Aaron is the Talisman series that covers events within the "Aaronverse" in the decades between Dissonance and The End.Our website: https://gocorral.com/stsWant to be on the show?
