One of the guests, Nathan Bruha, that came on the Setting the Stage podcast has launched a Kickstarter for his book, The Amethyst Dragon’s Hoard of Everything. Nathan’s episode talked about his world, Aenea. He created the world as a kid. When he got older he created a massive mod for Neverwinter Nights to run a living campaign in Aenea. Sadly, the server running the mod died with no way to recover it.

Nathan has continued to work on Aenea since then with mountains of content on his website. He has now compiled the choicest bits of that content into a 575 page book that is overflowing with content for a 5e D&D campaign. I’d like you all the check it out and see what it has to offer. Pledge some money to the Kickstarter and get Nathan’s book published!

The Kickstarter can be found here by following this link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theamethystdragon/the-amethyst-dragons-hoard-of-everything

Nathan was featured on Episode 14 if you want to give it another listen.

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.

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?
