Cimmeria Progress Update

Published by

I’ve taken a break from writing over the past month and a half. Not a break from the blog though. I’ve been working on interlinking between all the pages I have for Cimmeria content. Now if you’re on the Bradel Fields page the first mention of Astyanax‘s name has a link to the Astyanax page. Through that, most of the pages are linked to others just like on Wikipedia. This should hopefully provide a more seamless browsing experience compared to using the menus to find more information on a particular character or place.

I’ve also started the campaign log editing I mentioned in October’s blog update. The first post is out, the second one should be coming in two weeks, and they should speed up going into May.

The Locations of Cimmeria section is almost complete. There’s only a few left and of course I’ve saved the most complicated for last. I should be wrapping those up in April, but they probably won’t post until June or July.

Finally, I have the podcast updates! I’ve recorded episodes to release into June, but I need to edit those as well. I’ll start contacting people for interviews again in May. I’m also likely nearing the end of DMs I can interview based off the first survey round. I plan on making fliers to post around my own town and hopefully other previous guests can put a flier up at their local game shops as well. I can also repost on Reddit to see if there’s more attention I can gain that way.

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

84 – Horseback Riding D&D Camp (Michael and SaddleSnaps) – Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Michael tells us about a D&D horseback riding experience at SaddleSnaps! The Chicago-based stable hosted a weekend camping, horseback riding, and D&D event. About 50 players came from across the country for this new experience. During the event, the players were split up into three groups. Each of the groups engaged in the "Exploration" and "Social Interaction" pillars of RPGs as a LARP. They used horses to go out on rides around the area to find clues to a developing mystery. After returning to their base camp they'd set up around tables for the D&D "Combat" pillar. Michael was the main DM of the adventure along with lots of support DMs and NPC actors helping him out.SaddleSnaps is planning to do more rides like this in the future, both single day rides as well as full weekend campouts like this first one. There are evening rides every Thursday for the rest of July 2026 with more to come in future months. You can check out everything about SaddleSnaps on their website.Michael has his own website for his RPG resources called Paragon Provisions that you can check out as well.Michael also runs his own Discord server that you connect with him on if you'd like to keep up with all the cool D&D stuff he's doing.Check out the Setting the Stage website!Want to be on the show?
