This week's stars are Arin and Caleb from the Black Flare podcast. Arin is the GM for the podcast using the Delta Green rules system and Caleb is the podcast's producer and editor. They work together to create a phenomenal, slow-building horror story. Delta Green is an RPG for telling Cthulian Lovecraft stories in a more modern setting typically in the late 1990's or early 2000's. The PCs all have a connection to a secret government organization named Delta Green that deals with paranormal events. In the Black Flare podcast, the PCs investigate a mysterious disease that is occurring in one of Alaska's national parks.

The Black Flare podcast is a great horror story with the feel of the X-Files show if it was an audio drama. Check it out on the Black Flare Podcast website or by searching Black Flare on your podcast app. https://www.blackflarepod.com/

If you're interested in the Delta Green system you can check out the rules on the website. There's a set of start rules and an adventure you can try for free to see if you like the system! https://www.delta-green.com/

Daniel tells us about his community published campaign, Mists of Eldoria! Mists of Eldoria is available for anyone to download and run for themselves via Daniel's Patreon page. Of the nine parts of the campaign four are finished so far. You can follow along with the adventure as Daniel and his own group explore Eldoria and get closer to defeating the ancient evil at the heart of the continent. Eldoria is a magical continent hidden in the mists of Toril, the world that Faerun is on. It was cut off from Faerun until recently a ship captain found a way to navigate the mists and arrive at the hidden continent. One thousand years ago Eldoria was cut off from the world by the immortal wizard, Taldor Vex. He has secretly ruled Eldoria since by wearing various disguises through the ages. Players must discover who this man is, why he cut the continent off from the outside world, and his motivations for doing so. Do they want to undo his actions or allow the status quo to continue? If you'd like to check out Mists of Eldoria for yourself here are some links: Daniel's YouTube page with some info on Eldoria and lots of his prop making stuff: https://www.youtube.com/@MasterfulDungeons Daniel's Patreon where you can subscribe for free to get updates on all his latest content: https://www.patreon.com/masterful_dungeons The Mists of Eldoria Dropbox where all the campaign content is stored for you to access: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/aiothd8em7zxo963zp974/h?rlkey=n77zrbqeqd86ugi04ur5zpnlp&dl=0 If you'd like to vote in the CRIT Awards you can check out the different nominees on their website: https://www.critawards.org/ Our website: https://gocorral.com/sts Want to be on the show?

Austin is here to talk about her Forged in the Dark game, Beam Saber, and one of the setting's she's released for it, Rush Wars. Beam Saber is designed for mech battles but with the numerous supplements it can be adapted for any sort of vehicle conception. Gundams, planes, robot dinosaurs, fast cars, or even the vertical maneuvering equipment in Attack on Titan are all possibilities within Beam Saber. After a mission PCs rest and relax to remove stress and repair their gear just as in the Blades in the Dark game. Rush Wars is a supplement for Beam Saber that focuses on cars as the vehicle of choice. Intended to evoke the feeling, but the aesthetic of the Fast and the Furious franchise, the cars in Rush Wars have large impact on the narrative of stories told with the system. Stories focus on living on the edge of legality along with fast car races, chases, and other high speed action for physical conflict. The setting we discuss is based on Detroit where the mega-corp, Interax, has just set up an electric car factory. We also discussed many aspects of game development and business within the TTRPG space. Dig through these links for more about Beam Saber and the rest of Austin's stuff.

2:18:55

Ben tells us about Kobold Press's fantasy setting, Midgard. Midgard started off as an open design campaign setting in which the main author, Wolfgang Baur, allowed fans to vote on options for what would be included. That project expanded into the Kobold Press company which now has their own TTRPG, Tales of the Valiant. Ben is a contributing author to many different RPG publications, including but not limited to Kobold Press. Ben's work for Kobold Press has earned him two ENnie awards, a silver for Southlands and a gold for Streets of Zobeck . Midgard was originally inspired by Eastern European myths and folklore but has expanded to be "Europe with the fantasy filter on." Zobeck, the city that Ben collaborated to write about, is the cosmopolitan center of the action, similar to Faerun's Waterdeep or New York City in the USA. Ben's work on the southern African-like continent is detailed in the supplement, Southlands . Midgard offers many different regions for players to explore and have fun in. And its now paired with Kobold Press's new game system, Tales of the Valiant . To try out the Midgard setting go to Kobold Press's website and take a look. There's some free resources to get you started: https://koboldpress.com/midgard/ If you want to check out Ben's Kobold Press contributions specifically use this link: https://koboldpress.com/kpstore/page/1/?s=ben+mcfarland&post_type=product For everything that Ben has ever touched go here: https://rpggeek.com/rpgdesigner/25753/ben-mcfarland Our website: https://gocorral.com/sts Want to be on the show?

1:35:53

Dylan tells us about his campaign, set in the official Forgotten Realms setting! At long last Setting the Stage is covering the big D&D setting. Set sometime in the future of Faerun, Dylan's campaign focuses on a sentient and malevolent crystal that wants to mind control everyone in the world. This crystal is a representation of the forces of Lawful Evil within D&D's alignment spectrum along with eight other crystals for the other alignments. A war broke out between the crystals for control of Faerun. Dylan ran multiple campaigns that spanned the time before, during, and after the Crystal War and visited many of the famous locations within Faerun along the way. If you're a fan of the Drizzt books like Dylan and myself then you'll recognize many of the locations. Dylan also talked through the initial concept stages he has for an RPG system of his own design. The system would focus on non-violent conflict resolution with character experience gained through using skills rather than overcoming challenges.

1:15:29

Maia is our guest today presenting her actual play campaign, Pinehurst Academy. Maia used the City of Mist system for her game. From the City of Mist website, "In City of Mist you play ordinary individuals with powers that emanate from myths and legends investigating supernatural crimes and mysteries in a noir City where the truth is always hidden behind the pervasive Mist." Maia has used a fairly straight interpretation of that setup with a twist, her story takes place in a suburban high school just outside of the City. The PCs are a bunch of first year students at the exclusive private school, Pinehurst Academy. The school has a yearly scavenger hunt competition for freshman to find a set of ten artifacts. There are only one of each artifact, so the scavenger hunt teams must also steal the artifacts Maia made an enormous amount of material for the campaign along with many custom rules for managing the more detailed parts of school life. If you're planning on running a similar campaign you should get in touch with Maia and ask for some advice.

This week's guest is Amanda, another member of the Quelmar organization. Quelmar was featured previously in episode 32 with James, the original creator of Quelmar. Amanda is a Quelmar DM and is currently DMing a Quelmarized version of Hitpoint Press's Heckna!. Her interview focused on her homebrew campaign without a "proper" name dubbed the Delicious Homebrew. The Delicious Homebrew focuses on a world that has lost connection to its magic. One hundred years ago a powerful magician felt that magic was a net negative for the world. It was too dangerous and unpredictable. This magician sealed magic away and then hid the seal itself as well on a lost continent known as the Emerald Wilds. The players journey starts with a king giving them a quest to find a magical crown. The PCs found the crown, but rather than return it to the king they broke it, unleashing a hostile angel. After rallying an entire city to defeat the angel, the PCs interrogated it as it died. The angel revealed the name and identity of the magician who sealed away the world's magic, setting the PCs off on their true quest. During the interview we mentioned the Heckna! campaign by Hitpoint Press. You can check that out at this link: https://hitpointpress.com/products/heckna-box-set I also brought up the Bag Wars Saga from Knights of the Dinner Table which you can check out here: https://kenzerco.com/product/knights-of-the-dinner-table-the-bag-wars-saga/ And if you'd like to learn more about Quelmar and the other cool stuff Amanda and the Quelmar members are up to Quelmar has a few of its own web links you should check out The Quelmar Wiki: https://quelmarwiki.com/wiki/Quelmar_Wikia The Quelmar Organization's official webpage: https://quelmar.com/Home.html And Quelmar's Discord server: https://discord.gg/9FZ4EJj Our website: https://gocorral.com/sts Want to be on the show?

2:23:34

Somewhere there is a door. Today's guests are Emma and Maia, the creators of the Yeldplay actual play podcast which was nominated for a 2024 CRIT award. Yeldplay is the official podcast of the Yeld RPG to showcase the system's unique mechanics and style of play. The Yeld RPG lets your roleplay as children that find a door to the Magical Land of Yeld. The children can explore Yeld and return home, but eventually the door locks behind them on one of their journeys. Now they are trapped and must find seven keys to unlock the door. If they don't escape before they turn thirteen they will turn into one of the monsters of Yeld and be forever trapped. Yeld is a heavily structured RPG with seven boss dungeons (plus a bonus final dungeon) that already exist within the rule book. But don't worry, there's plenty of space to make up adventures of your own outside of the boss dungeons. Combat takes place on an 8x8 grid like a chessboard. Combat actions are fairly simple, stack as many dice on an action as possible, roll all the dice and add them up. The GM does the same thing for the enemies and whoever has the highest total succeeds. The game discourages killing enemies though as their ghosts will haunt you in the next adventure you and your friends embark on. Yeld has a rotating GM structure. Everybody that is playing has a PC and each adventure is designed by one of the players for all the PCs to go through. At the end of that adventure a new player is encouraged to come forward to GM the next adventure. The whole experience can be as collaborative or as singular as desired by a group. You could potentially have a single GM without a PC if you wanted. Or you could have everyone working together on all the adventures if that was a process you enjoyed. The important thing is that Yeld works with collaboration or with individual creation of adventures, but in the assumed design there is a rotation of responsibility. If you'd like to give Yeld a try you can check it out on their website. The 1st edition of the game is free! https://yeldstuff.com/ The Yeldplay podcast can be found on your favorite podcast app, but if you prefer a weblink you can click this one: https://shows.acast.com/yeldplay The Modest Medusa webcomic that has developed alongside Yeld and Yeld's art is available here: https://modestmedusa.com/ Our website: https://gocorral.com/sts Want to be on the show?

This episode features one of the other CRIT award nominees from 2024, Josh, who tells us about his game Last Fleet . Josh and his partner, Becky, are the main drivers at Black Armada Games which makes TTRPGs (among other games). Last Fleet is a Powered by the Apocalypse game that simulates a situation similar to that of the Battlestar Galactica show. In the far future humanity is on the run in the titular Last Fleet. Human planets have been taken over by the Corax, a fungal species that is able to infiltrate Earthling society through perfect mimics of humans. Now humanity is in a desperate bid to escape from the Corax, but the fleet is low on fuel and Corax infiltrators could already be aboard sabotaging the ships that protect the last of the human species. Josh presents his games through actual plays on the podcast, Black Armada Tales. There's a bunch of games that have been featured, but here is a link to the first episode of the Last Fleet arc: https://open.spotify.com/episode/37f5ee6Z05iebdPUNh3dGS You can check out Last Fleet on the Black Armada website here: https://blackarmada.com/product/last-fleet/ Or you can check out the general Black Armada website for their other games.

19 weeks ago2:27:32

2:27:32

Udy tells us about his experiences with the Seventh Sea TTRPG system, the Scion system, and the focus for this episode, Pendragon! Pendragon is a generational RPG where you play a small noble house in England during the time of Arthurian legends. You play a knight or lady that is the head of your household with responsibilities to your subjects, your lord, and the king. As play proceeds, your character finds friends, makes enemies, gets married, has children, goes on quests, fights wars, and all that other good stuff from Medieval history and myth. Eventually your character dies and you transition to playing the heir you'd raised as the campaign proceeds. There are many campaigns you can play, but the main focus is on the Great Pendragon Campaign that details the events from the ~480 to ~570. This covers the rule of King Uther, King Arthur's rise to prominence as the boy who pulled the sword from the stone, Arthur's rule, his decline and death, and a small wrapup afterwards. The PCs can be directly involved in these events or on the fringes depending on a group's preference. Historical sources indicate that there was a King Arthur who ruled over parts of Britain in the 500's. Little is known about this real person. King Arthur became a legendary figure due to French moral fables written about the Knights of the Round Table in the 1100's. At that time Christian Europe was losing lots of wars to Muslims. Many Christian nobles were spending more time fighting amongst themselves instead of looking outward to what the Catholic Church considered a greater enemy. To prevent this infighting, many priests and educated men wrote stories with the intention of improving the moral character of European nobility. These stories used the Knights of the Round Table as a common setting. The hope was that if European nobles read these stories they would become moral people, stop fighting each other, and join the Crusades against the Muslims. Udy and I talked about a few different sources for the story of King Arthur. While there are hundreds of books to read on Arthur, both ancient and modern, the best English sources are probably Le Morte d'Arthur written by Thomas Malory in 1485 at the end of the Middle Ages or The Once and Future King written by T.H. White in 1958. If you're in the mood for something lighter and more subversive, Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is a lot of fun. There are many examples in film as well with my personal favorite being the 1998 Merlin TV miniseries. During the interview we briefly discussed a piece of art that one of Udy's players drew. You can check that art out here: https://gocorral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/giant.webp If you're interested in Pendragon the game is available on Chaosium's website: https://www.chaosium.com/pendragon-rpg/ Udy also recommended the Pendragon Discord server for all those cool modifications people have made to the system over the years: https://discord.com/invite/CfvJzeX Our website: https://gocorral.com/sts Want to be on the show?

1:54:08

Malcolm, a member of the Advanced Age Roleplaying Gamers (AARPG) podcast, joins us to talk about one of his campaigns named Our Town. The concept for Our Town came about accidentally where rather than going on an adventure, the players all stayed in town and wanted to kick out any outsiders that wanted to change their little village. A rival baron to their lord schemes to take over their town and the players formed a neighborhood watch of sorts to punish anyone who threatens their culture. The game was played using the Generic Universal Roleplaying System (GURPS), a great system for simple humans trying to live simple lives. The AARPG podcast that Malcolm is a part of is a group of friends that's been playing RPGs together since the 80's. They met in community college and have been gaming off and on ever since. The podcast is led by Matt and Nathan of the group. It's a variety podcast with mostly short campaigns from different games and the occasional interview segment mixed in.

Ben tells us about his setting and independently designed TTRPG system, Cybertopia. Cybertopia is a fiction first system set in the near future. Amazing Corp saved the world from climate and energy catastrophes with a magical clean energy machine. As the world moves into a post-scarcity economy, Amazing Corp has risen in power and influence beyond most governments. The players are small pieces in this machine, trying to take care of any problems that get in Amazing Corp's way. And maybe they discover something sinister that shakes their confidence in Amazing Corp? Who knows? That's up to the GM. Cybertopia as a system is a d20 system. Characters pick a Core which is like a class, but is really just a guide to what your character is good at without the rigid framework of D&D applied to it. The Core provides a +3 to rolls. Characters also have skills, items, and situational things that provide +1 or +2. All these modifiers stack together just like other d20 systems. Experience points are gained by rolling a natural 20. Three experience points can be exchanged for a skill improvement. This episode was recorded in September where the temperatures were 95°F in California (me) while being rainy and 57°F in Scotland where Ben is located. Ben's itch.io shop where you can check out Cybertopia: https://bennewbon.itch.io/ Ben has a actual play podcast to demonstrate Cybertopia. The second season is starting its release now. You can listen to that here or in any of your favorite podcast apps: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cybertopiaap The Cybertopia podcast is also available on YouTube but still audio only: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIOIGenECSSR95XTfwjbq-l9g8urlYBDE Our website: https://gocorral.com/sts Want to be on the show?

Roger tells us about his world Savinaru. It was created by elementals, primal forces of creation. Ever since Savinaru has been plagued by demons, primal forces of destruction . Savinaru is in the midst of its Industrial Revolution via magic. Magically powered public transportation networks are being built and weaponry has advanced to muskets and cannons. Roger wrote Savinaru to have many subversions of the usual fantasy tropes. For example, dwarves and orcs are the same race, but dwarves split off due to going underground. Roger has also been working on his own TTRPG system that he has dubbed Industrial Strength Heroism . It's a heroic fantasy system with a d12 roll-under mechanic. Character stats vary from 2 to 8. Rolls are decided by d12 roll with bonuses or penalties. To succeed you must roll less than the relevant stat. Roger has a World Anvil on Savinaru that he's recently started as of this episode's release: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/savinaru-rogerpellicano Roger has been working on a video game called Nymar Arisen. It's a base-building survival game similar to Minecraft, but your character commands a whole tribe of ant people to fight back against demon invasions. The game is still in its early stages, but a playable demo has been released on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1682470/Nymar_Arisen/ Roger is just starting his social media presence as well to get Industrial Strength Heroism going.

Our guest for this episode is Derry, DM of the Dice Will Roll podcast and winner of a 2024 CRIT award! Woo! Derry talks with us about his journey with RPGs, actual play podcasting, and Pathfinder's official setting of Golarion. Derry started doing actual play podcasting because many of the more popular TTRPG podcasts featured a mostly white suburban dad stereotype and there were not many queer TTRPG podcasters. Seeing a need, Derry stepped in and started the Dice Will Roll podcast which features campaigns from Pathfinder's official adventure paths. So far they've conquered Kingmaker, Extinction Curse, Fists of the Ruby Phoenix, and are making their way through Abomination Vaults. While the later part of this episode focuses on Abomination Vaults we discuss many of the other adventure paths. SPOILER WARNING in particular for the Abomination Vaults, Agents of Edgewatch, and Reign of Winter adventure paths. As for Abomination Vaults, the PCs are members of the small lumber town of Otari, close to the mega-city of Absalom. A mysterious lighthouse close to town comes to life drawing the attention of the locals. Exploring the lighthouse reveals a massive dungeon underneath. Enough adventure for levels 1-10, all in the same place as the PCs go deeper and deeper into the Abomination Vaults.
