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.

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

81 – Biopunk 2287 RPG (Seiya and Synesthesia Synthetica) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

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?
