Setting the Stage Episode 35 – Josh and the Collide

Published by

on

Josh tells us about his world, The Collide. Josh is a new DM and player, providing a unique perspective on what D&D is like from that fresh point of view.

The Collide is a combination of two worlds that smashed together in a cataclysmic event several hundred years ago. Collide is single continent split in half by a large mountain range. The western half is the original half with green plants. The original eastern half was replaced during the collision event with land from a world with red plants. The western half has been ruled by an immortal king since the cataclysm. The eastern half has a null-magic desert in the south inspired by the Bang! card game. Guns are used as magical weapon replacements and cowboys roam.

Outside of the Collide’s reality, gods are at war to control the surface of Collide. This conflict is bubbling up into a threat to redo the apocalypse. Alongside the initial phases of this disaster a series of time travelers are wrecking havoc and the PCs of Josh’s campaign have to stop it.

Josh has also been cataloging his experiences as a newbie DM on his own podcast called Crash Course DM: https://www.anythingyoucando.co/crash-course-dm

During the interview we also discussed a couple games that you might be interested in.
