The Terror Mountains are home to many monsters. Most notable are the domineering dragons. White dragons rule the western facing portion of the ridge. Red dragons are in the center. Silver dragons oversee the high peaks in the east. The slopes are dotted with caves and tunnels to provide dwellings for the numerous brutish giants that call the Terror Mountains their home. Civilization is all but absent except for the dwarven kingdoms of the Mountain and Deep Dwarves.

The Mountain Dwarves are spread throughout the Terror Mountains. They live near the surface to tend their flocks of sheep and the mountain grains grown for fermentation. The Mountain Dwarves are led by High King Torngar. He recently came to possess the Fierce Axe of Dwarvish Lords which gives him the right of rulership over all dwarves. Torngar reigns from Highhold, a beautifully constructed capital buried at the base of Horror Peak. At the zenith of the mountain is Hephaestus’s forge in the caldera of the volcano.

The Deep Dwarves reside in the lower reaches of the earth beneath the Terror Mountains. King Deekgaon rules the Deep Dwarves and serves High King Torngar as General of the Dwarven Army. The Deep Dwarves often contend with the other Underdark residents. Previously they did so alone, but the reunification of the dwarf races has given Deekgaon’s people sorely needed allies.

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.

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?
