Setting the Stage is a podcast where the host, Isaac Shaker, talks with guests about different campaign settings for roleplaying games. The show covers established settings, such as those made for
D&D
Dungeons & Dragons 5.5e (2024)Dungeons & Dragons 5.5E (commonly called the "2024 rules" or "D&D 2024") is the revised and updated...Beginner-friendlyHigh-Fantasy
, like Faerun and Greyahwk. The show also discusses settings that are adapted for RPGs, like Middle-Earth and Westeros. Interview episodes bring on members of the RPG 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. Homebrew worlds often get no attention outside of A GM's play group, so this is a way to present a GM’s hard work to a wider audience. Anybody can be a guest on the show as long as they have a campaign setting they want to talk about!

There's a vast range of tabletop roleplaying games out there, across a multitude of genres! But the hardest part is always reading up on the rules, getting an adventure together and then getting a group of people to play -and teach- at the same time. Here at System Hoppers we endeavour to put ourselves through the process as often as we can for your amusement! Join us each episode as we try to play as many games as possible and teach you anything you need to know as well! Some fun, some scary, some vastly different - But all to show you just how fun Tabletop Roleplaying Games can be!

We're a party of GM adventurers who can't get enough of the vast realms that tabletop roleplaying has to offer! Our group brings years of combined TTRPG experience across numerous beloved systems both new and old. In every dimension we game in, from fantasy tales of epic quests to space operas of blaster fire and telekinesis, we strive to pull players deeply into each universe through immersive storytelling and lively roleplay. Whether you're a first-time adventurer or veteran min-maxer, we'll showcase how these imaginative games build community and allow anyone to heroically lead their own stories. Join us as we learn systems together, cheer critical successes, lament botched rolls, and laugh plenty in-between! Our passion for these social games is unbounded - every session plays differently as new characters, plots, and worlds unfold at the table. Let's discover the magic as we adventure onward!
