Are any of the episodes soley a game being played?
Bryan Alexander No, but I think there are a few podcasts out there that are strictly actual play (names escape me at the moment).
Jason Cordova Thank you, Sir. Love the show!
Thanks to +Jim Jones for telling me about your podcast.
Jason Cordova thanks for adding my blog (dieheart.net). I am doing a happy dance for being mentioned in a podcast, so cool!
I’m so happy that you find my resources list helpful.
Sophia Brandt It’s a great resource page; very well-curated. Thanks for putting it together!
Just started reading through ‘Death Frost Doom’ and am loving it – would either of you guys be willing to share your notes for conversion to Dungeon World?
Kevin Konieczko Mine is pretty awful. It was one of the first OSR conversions I’ve done. I may revisit DFD at some point, though. I’ll tag David LaFreniere in case he wants to chime in about his.
Jason Cordova Thanks! This would be my first OSR conversion and there are an awful lot of ‘cumulative -1’ effects that I’m not sure how to handle in Dungeon World.
Kevin Konieczko One thing I did that I’m really proud of is that, instead of doing traditional grim portents on my front, I actually drew twelve little skulls on an index card, to represent the crystal skulls in the first subterranean area. I crossed off a skull whenever I felt like the party was dawdling, or if I needed something to do on a 6-. It was great, because the players knew it meant something, but they had no idea what. It was a great way to tension the game.
Kevin Konieczko if you want to message me, I’ll let you know how I went about converting DFD. I radically changed some of the structure to serve my purposes of making it a one shot, but it still felt very creepy and unnerving to be there, so I think it worked
David LaFreniere It might be fun to a do a special episode where we walk through an OSR conversion. Thoughts?
I could see that being useful and valuable, not what it appears, and what people should be on the lookout for
David LaFreniere still got those Death Frost Doom 1-shot notes? I’d love to have a look. I’m in the process of going through the module for my group for tomorrow.
I know I have the recording of the actual play, not sure of the notes
David LaFreniere I apparently made a copy of Jason Cordova ‘s conversion notes from however long ago. Despite what he says, it isn’t awful. I’m skimming through it now to see what I can steal for my game. Thanks!
