Hera

Hera is daughter of Cronos and Rhea, the wife of Zeus, and the queen of Olympus. She is often trying to prevent Zeus from cheating on her or getting revenge on the women he does cheat with. Due to her husband’s constant infidelities she is often angry. Hera presides over marriage and adult women. Some would say she presides over jealousy as well. Her favored cities are Carthage and Samos and her sacred animal is the cow.

Hera’s activities in Cimmeria are mostly related to attempting to kill and injure her husband’s illegitimate children. She tried to kill Cecilia and she tried to prevent Amalgami‘s birth among others. The only child of Zeus that she liked was Queen Anajakaze. Zeus begot the Amazon Queen as a present to Hera. Anajakaze’s queenship advanced the rights of women throughout Xoria. In a strange twist of divine emotion, Hera actually enjoyed her gift. She grieved when Zeus was injured and the dragovinians destroyed her feminist empire.

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?
