Rob tells us about his world, Garou. We get a unique perspective for our podcast as Rob’s campaign in Garou recently concluded. Garou is a single continent world where the landmass is shaped like an apple. The world is a dumping ground for the rest of the universe resulting in an odd mishmash of races and factions that do not fit the typical mold of fantasy worlds, resulting in them being dumped from more traditional worlds into Garou. The judges of what don’t belong are the gods, thus the only god of Garou is Wee Jas. She came to Garou to collect the world’s magic in the form of orbs. These orbs are similar to mythals, imposing laws or empowering magic in a small area around them.

Rob is also the cohost of the Storyteller Conclave podcast with Sara who featured on Episode 13 of Setting the Stage! If you’d like to check them out you can find more at https://storytellerconclave.mixlr.com/ or on the same platform/app you’re using to access this podcast.

Here is a map of Garou.

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.
