RPG Advice

Over the years I’ve written a few blog posts with RPG advice. Those posts are lost in the archive at this point. I think those posts could still be useful for people. I’ve found the ones I think are most helpful and have saved them here for you to easily find, read, and hopefully take something away from to help you in your games.

I’m Isaac

Welcome to the GoCorral website! I’m Isaac Shaker and this is a place for me to write about D&D/RPGs and occasionally other topics. I host a podcast called Setting the Stage that interviews different GMs about their campaigns. I’m currently focused on completing the Cimmeria campaign setting and turning it into a book.
