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 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.

We get to hear more information about the Ecclesia church that rules over the world above Pandora's Labyrinth. More about the physical locations of the world. And EVEN MORE on the philosophy behind Psychomortis that makes it such a cool game.Psychomortis is still in the early stages of development, but its playable!
