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.

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.

89 – Bunnies vs. the Borg D&D (Avery and Traumwald) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Avery presents her world of Traumwald which means Dream Forest. Traumwald was a peaceful, magical world inhabited by anthropomorphic animals of all kinds. Their peace was shattered by the attack of the Ichal, a biomechanical hive mind species similar to the Borg. The Ichal are led by the dark god Ulvakros who seeks to absorb all life into himself. The Ichal have spread across different dimensions and now they have come to Traumwald as the next stop on their mission of multiversal conquest.Traumwald has a D&D 5.0e supplement that Avery made. It's a setting and a campaign in one book. Species generation rules allow you to create any sort of animal species for your PC. There are lots of new subclasses to play and a new base class, the Ascetic. The campaign is adaptable with a dynamic faction system for tracking the events as they unfold at your table. Each campaign run in Traumwald is guaranteed to be different as the factions fluctuate and change to player actions. You can lift the faction system for your personal campaign as well!You can find Traumwald on Avery's itch.io page.Check out the Setting the Stage website!Want to be on the show?
