Setting the Stage Episode 68 – John and Tahlvaen

Published by

John tells us about his campaign setting, Tahlvaen. The world was something he dreamt up in childhood that he’s now turning into a campaign setting for D&D. Tahlvaen is threatened by eldritch entities known as the Outer Five. These nasty beings were cast out beyond the Veil that separates them from the Tahlvaen. The eight Veilborn gods protect the world from the Outer Five, but all planar travel is cut off as a consequence. New magic classes exist in Tahlvaen to reflect this, focusing on music, resonance, and psionics as sources of power.

John has been writing a full set of books for publication on Tahlvaen. He plans to launch a Kickstarter in April 2026 to bring the book to life. The book is named the Veilborn Universe Campaign Setting: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/veilborn/the-veilborn-universe-campaign-setting

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

80 – Dynamic RPG Countries (Travis and Tetara) – Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Travis tells us about his world of Tetara. Travis runs Tetara as a paid game on StartPlaying. Each group's campaign runs in a different region of Tetara. As the campaign progresses that group gets to shape their region through their actions. After a region has been molded through play, Travis tends to run a second campaign in that region to explore the consequences of the first campaign.Here's a map of Tetara: https://gocorral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/tetara_world.jpgIf Tetara sounds interesting to you, Travis runs Tetara campaigns on StartPlaying: https://startplaying.games/gm/travisthegingergmIf you want to check out Travis's book series, Sanctum of Aevum, its available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/T.C.-Bieda/author/B07ZWX4MC5Our website: https://gocorral.com/stsWant to be on the show?
