Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Welcome to Setting the Stage, a podcast where I, Isaac Shaker, will talk about different campaign settings for roleplaying games.


I'll talk about established settings, either those made for D&D, like Faerun and Greyahwk, or those that are adapted for it, like Middle-Earth, and Westeros. I'll also interview members of the D&D community who have created their own campaign worlds. This is a chance for the guest to show off what they’ve made, explain challenges they’ve overcome, and discuss paths that didn’t work for them when creating their campaign setting. Our homebrew worlds often get no attention outside of our own play groups, so this is a way to present a DM’s hard work to a wider audience.


This wouldn't be possible without the amazing D&D community and I'm looking forward to interviewing you!

    78 - D&D in Suburbia (Ryan and Serenity Springs)
    Apr 8 2026

    Ryan tells us about his new adventure, Serenity Springs! It's a cozy little suburb. Or at least it seems like it at first. Until you realize its in a dimension like Ravenloft and evil entities lurk around every corner to threaten the citizens and visitors with awful, gruesome death. Just don't bleed on Mrs. Dotty's petunias!


    You can follow the Kickstarter for Serenity Springs at this link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/grinningportal/serenity-springs-campaign-setting-for-fantasy-ttrpgs?ref=7ob6py

  • 77 - KPop DnD Hunters (Dan and Idols of the Neon Dark)

    77 - KPop DnD Hunters (Dan and Idols of the Neon Dark)
    Mar 25 2026

    Dan talked with me about his Kickstarter campaign, Idols of the Neon Dark. It's a D&D 5e supplement that tries to bring the fun and atmosphere of K-pop to Dungeons and Dragons. The media frenzy around KPop Demon Hunters inspired Dan to create a product based on the musical genre that his young daughters could enjoy with him.


    Idols of the Neon Dark contains an Idol character class to represent the teamwork and coordination of K-pop groups. Alongside the Idol class there's a setting called Lumenica City. The city is an undeground haven of neon lights, skyscrapers, and music. There's campaign for levels 1-6 and a bunch of side adventures as well to place within Lumenica City or your setting of choice.


    You can support Idols of the Neon Dark on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wrenegade-dan/k-pop-5e-hunters-shadows-of-the-neon-dark

  • 76 - Flying Island Worlds (Alan and Fractus)

    76 - Flying Island Worlds (Alan and Fractus)
    Mar 11 2026

    Alan tells us about his Daggerheart campaign setting, Fractus, that is launching on Kickstarter soon. Fractus was a normal planet until it exploded and stopped halfway through. Now bunches of asteroids rotate a swirling magical maelstorm at the center of the planet. The people of Fractus survive on the asteroids which are large enough to support life. The land is now separated by air rather than oceans, resulting in a different path for technology along the lines of flight rather than sea travel.


    Fractus is available on Kickstarter at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/icv1/fractus-the-broken-world

    Alan also has a big catalog of TTRPG products he's produced in the past that you can check out on DriveThruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/17830/alan-tucker

    In addition to his TTRPG writing, Alan has written a few novels that you can find links to on his website: http://www.alantucker.net/

    For the latest updates on what Alan's doing you can follow him on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tuckerauthor.bsky.social
