I’ve launched a Patreon page to help support the Setting the Stage podcast. The funds will help pay for equipment and software used for the show. If there’s enough supporters, then I can start adding additional content.

There’s currently four tiers for supporting the show plus a free tier that’s basically a different way to get announcements compared to following the website here or joining the Discord.

Big Fan for $3/month – Get a Discord role and submit questions for a quarterly AMA from Isaac.

Super Fan for $6/month – Get a fancy Discord role. You can listen to some episodes live on the Discord Interview channel. You get one week early access to ad-free uploads of Setting the Stage episodes. You can submit questions for the quarterly AMA. And your name will be mentioned in the episode credits.

Super Duper Fan for $10/month – Receive a quarterly Setting the Stage merch drop! Buttons, stickers, and maybe a cool t-shirt. Or digital tokens and maps for your next session. Or a fancy miniature!
This tier comes with all the perks of the lower tier as well.

Biggest Fan for $150/month – Get the fanciest Discord role and I will GM one session a month of a campaign in the system of your choice for you.
Also includes all the perks of lower tiers.

The Patreon has been live for about a month and has one supporter at the Super Duper level. Of that $10, I’m getting about $8 after Patreon gets their cut and after taxes. That’s not enough to be profit positive yet, but cool to have something!

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

83 – Call of Cthulhu's Garden (Hem and The Sprouting) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Hem tells us about their actual play campaign, The Sprouting. Within the world of The Sprouting, Earth's history diverged during the 1800s when an eldritch horror was summoned into our reality. The horror lay in wait for centuries, building up a secret army of plant monsters. In 2020, the plant monsters struck, ruining infrastructure and attacking population centers across the world. One hundred years have passed and our heroes learn that the next stage of the plant apocalypse has begun…We also discussed some of the difficulties and pleasures of actual play podcasts and how the RPG community varies internationally (Hem is in Iceland).If you want to try listening to The Sprouting its available on all major podcast platforms. You can learn more on The Sprouting's website.For other shows produced by Hem check out Blighthouse Studio's website.Hem mentioned The Lucky Die actual play show of theirs several times which used D&D 5e.And the broader network of Fable and Folly has their website too.Check out the Setting the Stage website!Want to be on the show?
