Episode description

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.
