KC Broadhead is a certified life coach who uses D&D and other TTRPGs as a motivational force for his clients, mostly young men and boys. He meets with each person weekly to check on their goals for self improvement. Based on their progress each client is rewarded some building points that can be spent on their character in their weekly session. People who work more consistently on their goals get greater rewards in the game, instilling a sense of competition in the other participants to do better on their own goals. It’s a new and effective life coaching method that KC is operating under the name Knight Castle Services.

KC’s world is named Liara. The world is used for all of his life coach sessions with each group adventuring at the same time but in different regions of the world. The history of Liara is consistently muddled, either due to magic or bad records. The gods of Liara are separated into nine different ranks called Rings. Creation gods at the top, followed by Elements, Time, Fate, Souls, Knowledge, War, Dreams, and Thought. The Creation gods made the universe while lower Rings sprang into existence as needed or when a particular mortal being became worshipped after their death. There’s also a secret tenth pantheon…

The people of Liara are threatened by a violent race of fairies called the Zephyrynn. The best defense is the Ka’vothan, a race of super strong oni-like people that are able to fight back against the fairies due to their superior strength.

KC’s D&D style life coaching is available on his website. Check it out if you’re interested!

Susannah tells us about her world, the Dragon Knight Universe! She's written books and published two podcasts set in the universe. It's an alternate history of Earth where magic and monsters are real, but hidden from most people behind a veil of secrecy. To fight the monsters, witches created the Dragon Knights, a group of people with magical powers similar to those of dragons. The Dragon Knights succeeded and the world is mostly safe now, but new threats are always lurking around the edges of reality.The Thornvale and Felhaven podcasts are available on all your favorite podcasts. You can learn more about them on the Thornvale Podcast website.And the book published for the Dragon Knight Universe, Deep Hollow, is available on Amazon.The Actual Playce Discord Server is a great place to discuss actual plays as a fan and as a creator.Check out the Setting the Stage website!Want to be on the show?
