New Podcast Concept

I’m starting a podcast! Hurray! More weird D&D content!

The podcast is called Setting the Stage and will be interview episodes where I talk with a guest/co-host about different campaign settings for D&D or other RPGs. There are two types of episodes.

In the first type of episode I’ll be chatting with one of my friends about an established setting. That might be an official setting like the Forgotten Realms, an unofficial one like Kingdoms of Kalamar, or a setting from another piece of media like Tolkien’s Middle-Earth or Martin’s Westeros. These episodes are on how to use the setting for a campaign and what RPG system would work best to play it.

The second type of episode, I’m more excited about. I’ll be interviewing different DMs from the RPG community about their homebrew campaigns. I sent out a survey and got lots of responses from people who want to be interviewed. It’s a chance for everyone to share what they’ve created to a wider audience as usually homebrew D&D content doesn’t go beyond a DM’s personal group. The guests can share stuff they’re proud of as well as things that didn’t work so well. It’s a great opportunity to showcase their material and provide advice for other people listening to the podcast.

The survey is still live at https://forms.gle/8NGJMti21vuLHyrz7 if anyone reading this would like to fill it out out. There’s also a Discord server I made to organize interviews and discuss the podcast episodes once the project is more developed. That server can be joined here: https://discord.gg/Nngc2pQV6C

I’ve recorded the first episode on Tolkien’s Middle-Earth with my friend Will. That episode has been uploaded to the podcast RSS feed and is available for download. The feed is indexed with all the major podcast distributers like Apple and Google, so it should appear in searches. Just don’t confuse the D&D Setting the Stage podcast with the wrestling podcast with the sand name. You can also access the podcast by clicking on this link (which doesn’t work on Safari for some reason): https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/setting-the-stage-campaigns-for-dd-and-other-rpgs

If you’d like to help the podcast grow the best thing you can besides listen is to review the podcast on the service you used to download it. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the show!

Hello,

I’m Isaac

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

76 – Flying Island Worlds (Alan and Fractus) – Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Alan tells us about his Daggerheart campaign setting, Fractus, that is launching on Kickstarter soon. Fractus was a normal planet until it exploded and stopped halfway through. Now bunches of asteroids rotate a swirling magical maelstorm at the center of the planet. The people of Fractus survive on the asteroids which are large enough to support life. The land is now separated by air rather than oceans, resulting in a different path for technology along the lines of flight rather than sea travel.Fractus is available on Kickstarter at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/icv1/fractus-the-broken-worldAlan also has a big catalog of TTRPG products he's produced in the past that you can check out on DriveThruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/17830/alan-tuckerIn addition to his TTRPG writing, Alan has written a few novels that you can find links to on his website: http://www.alantucker.net/ For the latest updates on what Alan's doing you can follow him on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tuckerauthor.bsky.socialOur website: https://gocorral.com/stsWant to be on the show?
