Cimmeria Progress Update

Published by

on

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

71 – Aaron Ryan and Dissonance/The End – Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

I talked with Aaron Ryan about two of his book series, Dissonance and The End.Dissonance is a near future world where aliens have attacked, killing most humans and animals on Earth and driving humans into hiding underground. Humans finally develop technology to fight back and the war enters a new stage while the characters also struggle to determine the motivation for the alien invasion and nefarious actions of the government.The End is a Christian End Time series based loosely on the events described in Revelations. A man calling himself Nero has risen to rule over the world and he has outlawed Christianity. Robots called Guardians hunt Christians throughout the world, murdering them on the spot if they don't recant their faith. A resistance movement works in the shadows against Nero, but things aren't looking good for them.We talked about the basics of those settings along with how they could be adapted for RPG campaign settings. My main recommendations were Ashes Without Number, Spire, and Blades in the Dark.If you're interested in reading Aaron's books you can find them at most any bookstore or library. Both of the series are also being adapted into movies, but aren't publicly available yet. Aaron's website is https://authoraaronryan.com/ for the latest updates on his work. Next up for Aaron is the Talisman series that covers events within the "Aaronverse" in the decades between Dissonance and The End.Our website: https://gocorral.com/stsWant to be on the show?
