During my previous D&D campaign I posted a summary of each session on to the Order of the Stick Forums. It was a great writing exercise and a very useful tool for referring back to events from previous sessions.

The log details the third campaign set in Cimmeria. The campaign was split into two halves, Alliance and Rebellion. Alliance followed the adventures of high-level members of the Second Alliance, fighting against the evil Xorian Empire. Rebellion followed the escapades of a group of low-level adventurers pressed into helping the Rebels fight the Xorian Empire by collecting pieces of an ancient prophecy.

The campaign log on the forums had a decent following. I think at the end I had about 500 people reading each of the updates, but almost zero audience interaction. I was always a little disappointed that I got people reading about the campaign, but not a lot of people talking about it.

While writing the campaign log I put links to the blog here when relevant. One of my eventual plans was also to duplicate the campaign log on to gocorral.com as well. For one, this would place the log in multiple places for preservation reasons. Secondly, the log was never proofread and it shows.

So coming soon, I will be posting the Xorian Wars: Alliance and Rebellion campaign log to gocorral.com. With each of the entries I’ll also be trying to post more Characters of Cimmeria and Locations of Cimmeria as we come upon things that are featured within a specific session.

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.

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?
