Setting the Stage Episode 44 – Derry and Golarion

Published by

Our guest for this episode is Derry, DM of the Dice Will Roll podcast and winner of a 2024 CRIT award! Woo!

Derry talks with us about his journey with RPGs, actual play podcasting, and Pathfinder’s official setting of Golarion. Derry started doing actual play podcasting because many of the more popular TTRPG podcasts featured a mostly white suburban dad stereotype and there were not many queer TTRPG podcasters. Seeing a need, Derry stepped in and started the Dice Will Roll podcast which features campaigns from Pathfinder’s official adventure paths. So far they’ve conquered Kingmaker, Extinction Curse, Fists of the Ruby Phoenix, and are making their way through Abomination Vaults. While the later part of this episode focuses on Abomination Vaults we discuss many of the other adventure paths.

SPOILER WARNING in particular for the Abomination Vaults, Agents of Edgewatch, and Reign of Winter adventure paths.

As for Abomination Vaults, the PCs are members of the small lumber town of Otari, close to the mega-city of Absalom. A mysterious lighthouse close to town comes to life drawing the attention of the locals. Exploring the lighthouse reveals a massive dungeon underneath. Enough adventure for levels 1-10, all in the same place as the PCs go deeper and deeper into the Abomination Vaults.

You can learn more about Dice Will Roll at their website.
If you’re interested in the Abomination Vaults adventure path you can check it out on Paizo’s website.

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

87 – Adapted Azeroth D&D (Flare and Akridon) – Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Flare talks with us about his campaign world, Akridon. Three continents dominate the world, Tyros for humanoid races and Dusklands for bestial races. The third continent is known as the Scourge, having being destroyed in a cataclysmic war centuries ago. The world draws a lot of inspiration from the World of Warcraft setup with duality featuring in the continents, the racial appearance, and the gods of the world. And just like in WoW, the two sides often need to team up against larger threats that appear.Flare has a Google Doc with more information about Akridon if you're interested!Vote in the CRIT Awards!
