Neeshvale

Neeshvale is a small village. Unlike most villages in Cimmeria it is not affiliated with a city-state. It serves as a supply post for trade between Bigby’s Forest and Sheerzen.

The village was recently conquered by an orc necromancer named Ratigon. He had been exiled from the Endless Autumn orc tribe in the Orc Lands. He made his way west until he found Neeshvale and conquered it with his undead minions. Ratigon lived off the villagers for a time until Gregor passed through. The necromancer bowed down to the orc king and vowed to serve him. Gregor demanded that Ratigon go back to the Orc Lands and spread news of his return. Ratigon did as commanded and left Neeshvale in peace.

Staketon

Staketon is a small village north of Bigby’s Forest loosely affiliated with Gazeara. The village serves as a supply post between Bigby’s Forest and Sheerzen.

The revived dragovinians of the Rebellion passed through Staketon on their way north to recover a piece of the Druid’s Prophecy. At the same time as the revived dragovinians came through the village, a vampire also attacked. The villagers initially blamed the travelers, but the revived dragovinians were able to perform an investigation and discover the true killer. They defeated the vampire and the villagers were able to continue their peaceful existence.

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.

88 – DM & Roleplaying Tips with Balance of Aksio (Jay + Sandra! and 3RPG) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Our guests today are Jay and Sandra from the 3RPG podcast. Their podcast is a talk show, typically with three hosts. Unfortunately the third host Chris was unable to make it.Jay and Sandra are working on a RPG product dubbed The Balance of Aksio. It's a new narrative fantasy TTRPG system with point buy character creation. The world within Balance of Aksio grew out of games that Jay and Sandra have been playing together since high school. Lots of history from important characters over the in-game centuries they have been playing. Balance of Aksio comes with numerous storytelling aids to help with character decision making, generational play, and how to cover long gaps between adventures.Balance of Aksio also introduces a unique idea for running your NPCs. Rather than make all the decisions yourself, Jay and Sandra recommend outsourcing the NPC actions to people you know outside of the campaign. Give those people a profile of the NPC and the decision they are facing. Then let those people decide what the NPC would do without your own biases as a GM entering the equation. Quite a clever way to introduce new developments in your game that even you can't predict!There's a 3RPG Podcast website and the show itself is available on all major podcast platforms.I guested on the 3RPG podcast for episode 61.
