Stevie

Stevie the Wonder Wagon was a unique magical creation made by Salzar and Atreides. They used funds gathered for the First Alliance War to sculpt, animate, and bestow intelligence on an iron wagon with a human face and two human arms on either side. Stevie came to life, but sadly his intellect was lacking. Fortunately, his loyalty to the cause of good and freedom was strong, making him a valuable asset during the First Alliance War. He shuttled supplies rapidly across great distances and was capable of defending himself by wielding four swords at the same time with his arms.

Stevie was taken in by the Elves of Bigby’s Forest after the First Alliance lost the war. The elves attempted to teach Stevie how to go slow and enjoy life in the forest, but he proved unable. As Stevie’s experience grew he found himself drawn to his natural talent, speed. He trained to become even faster while with the elves. While his top speed was limited within the forest, he could outpace a flying dragon on an open plain.

When the Rebellion came to Bigby’s Forest Stevie joined and fought alongside the Rebels for the cause of freedom. He continued to transport supplies from across Xoria to feed and arm the Rebels in Bigby’s Forest. Stevie assisted everywhere he could. Most notably he helped the revived dragovinians when they were sent out to reclaim the pieces of the Druid’s Prophecy. After the Second Alliance War ended Stevie joined Tarigananata‘s retinue in Nox.

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

71 – Aaron Ryan and Dissonance/The End Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

I talked with Aaron Ryan about two of his book series, Dissonance and The End.Dissonance is a near future world where aliens have attacked, killing most humans and animals on Earth and driving humans into hiding underground. Humans finally develop technology to fight back and the war enters a new stage while the characters also struggle to determine the motivation for the alien invasion and nefarious actions of the government.The End is a Christian End Time series based loosely on the events described in Revelations. A man calling himself Nero has risen to rule over the world and he has outlawed Christianity. Robots called Guardians hunt Christians throughout the world, murdering them on the spot if they don't recant their faith. A resistance movement works in the shadows against Nero, but things aren't looking good for them.We talked about the basics of those settings along with how they could be adapted for RPG campaign settings. My main recommendations were Ashes Without Number, Spire, and Blades in the Dark.If you're interested in reading Aaron's books you can find them at most any bookstore or library. Both of the series are also being adapted into movies, but aren't publicly available yet. Aaron's website is https://authoraaronryan.com/ for the latest updates on his work. Next up for Aaron is the Talisman series that covers events within the "Aaronverse" in the decades between Dissonance and The End.Our website: https://gocorral.com/stsWant to be on the show?
