Setting the Stage Episode 51 – Amanda and the Delicious Homebrew

Published by

This week’s guest is Amanda, another member of the Quelmar organization. Quelmar was featured previously in episode 32 with James, the original creator of Quelmar. Amanda is a Quelmar DM and is currently DMing a Quelmarized version of Hitpoint Press’s Heckna!. Her interview focused on her homebrew campaign without a “proper” name dubbed the Delicious Homebrew.

The Delicious Homebrew focuses on a world that has lost connection to its magic. One hundred years ago a powerful magician felt that magic was a net negative for the world. It was too dangerous and unpredictable. This magician sealed magic away and then hid the seal itself as well on a lost continent known as the Emerald Wilds. The players journey starts with a king giving them a quest to find a magical crown. The PCs found the crown, but rather than return it to the king they broke it, unleashing a hostile angel. After rallying an entire city to defeat the angel, the PCs interrogated it as it died. The angel revealed the name and identity of the magician who sealed away the world’s magic, setting the PCs off on their true quest.

During the interview we mentioned the Heckna! campaign by Hitpoint Press which is available on Hitpoint Press’s website.
I also brought up the Bag Wars Saga from Knights of the Dinner Table which you can check out.

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.

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?
