Here is my DW conversion for Man-Bait for the Soul Stealer by Terry Olson. This adventure is part of the 2018 DCC Free RPG Day module released yesterday to your FLGS. I hope you enjoy it.

In honor of Goodman Games’ awesome DCC FreeRPG Day submission for 2018, I am working on a DCC to DW conversion of Man-Bait for the Soul Stealer. Between this and the conversion of Portal Under the Stars that Mark Tygart and I worked on — you would have TWO DW adventures (along with all the cool DCC info) should you pick up the module at your FLGS. (Wow, that’s a lot of acronyms even for a nerd post.)
It’s all free.
So, would anyone be willing to look over my conversion for typos? If you happen to have the module, that would be great, but it is not necessary.

Building off Mark Tygart’s work, I added some material to his DW conversion of The Portal Under the Stars, a DCC adventure by Joseph Goodman. By good fortune I had been planning to use this adventure for a L&L at my local FLGS when Mark posted his work. I hope you find it useful.

I’m very excited to announce that my Dungeon World adventure, “The Ruined Tower of Drazhu” is back and better than ever! Like it’s namesake, the evil Lich Drazhu, it has taken on a newer and more awesome form.
I’ve refined the hooks, added more magic items, and packaged the whole thing in a print ready, art-filled bundle. It’s free now on drivethrurpg. Check it out and, if you like it, I’d love if you left me a rating, review, or comment.

Another entry to my ongoing Dungeon World Sci-Fi game and resources: Black Skies, Bright Stars is a sci-fi reskin of Jeremy Strandberg’s Dungeon Starter Sailing the Sapphire Islands. Check it out if you feel like taking a trip on a spaceship into a galaxy far far away.
Comments are open in the doc. If you have any feedback or suggestions for ways to make it more awesome let me know!
THE PORTAL UNDER THE STARS A Level 0-1 DCC RPG Adventure Dungeon World Conversion Notes
(Module by Joseph Goodman, Dungeon World Conversion Notes by Mark Tygart)
Ssisssuraaaaggg, Demon Naga
Solitary, Large, Planar
Bite (d10 damage)
12 HP, 2 armor
Near
Special Qualities: Tempts Mortals
When Ssisssuraaaaggg is killed, its snake body dissolves into ash, leaving only the naga’s demonic horn behind. The horn can be used to commune with the demon when meditated upon. It will offer its services in combat in exchange for information, magic items or evil acts. It is often employed as a treasure guardian. (Monster adapted from the classic DCC Adventure “The Portal under the Stars” by Joseph Goodman)
Instinct: Offer Deal or Bargain
Seek lost magic, knowledge and artifacts
Send a follower to their death
Guard for an employer
Crystal Victim Statue
Group, Devious, Construct
Hands (1d4 damage)
6 HP, 0 armor
Close
Special Qualities: Transformed ancient prisoners, Pacifist, Arcane construct
Their features are hard to discern because of their translucency, but they are perfect replicas of the eons-old proto-human warrior prisoners who were transformed to create them. They are attracted to light and shuffle toward torches and lanterns. They do not attack, but their approach may seem menacing, and they will defend themselves. If they reach a torch or other light source unmolested, they simply stand next to it and absorb the warmth. (Monster adapted from the classic DCC Adventure “The Portal under the Stars” by Joseph Goodman)
Instinct: Defend
Attracted by Light
Seek Warmth
Will not attack, only defend
Living Bones
Solitary, Large, Construct
Skull Bite (d4 damage)
6 HP, 0 armor
Special Qualities: Undead
The bones are living dead that have decayed over the eons. They shake and rattle as characters approach; however, they can no longer animate into cohesive skeletons. The skulls clack, clatter, and attempt to bite, but are easily avoided and crushed through normal means.(Monster adapted from the classic DCC Adventure “The Portal under the Stars” by Joseph Goodman)
Instinct: Destroy
Fail to form skeletons
Shake
Rattle
Clay Army Soldier
Horde, Construct
Spear (d4 damage)
3 HP, 0 Armor
Close, Near
Special Qualities: Arcane Construct, Water will Destroy, Requires Clay Warlord
“A great stillness pervades the room. It is the stillness of death; the silence of a tomb. Then, suddenly, the stillness is broken as the clay warlord jerkily raises an arm toward his generals. Then, the entire army takes a lurching step forward, shattering the silence with the tramp of doom.” If the warlord is killed (same stats), the entire army loses anima, becoming simply a set of clay statues. (Monster adapted from the classic DCC Adventure “The Portal under the Stars” by Joseph Goodman)
Instinct: Obey the Clay Warlord and his Generals!

There are a lot of great creators in The Tavern that have made some awesome adventures.
There are a lot of great creators in The Tavern that have made some awesome adventures. Sometimes I’m overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices. So, for those of you that create adventures and the rest of us that play them, I’d love to hear some of your top picks and why you like running them in DW.
This post is inspired specifically by Mark Tygart. I’ve used several of your starters and am always amazed by the rate at which you create your adventures. Scrolling through your shared folder recently I wonder, out of all the adventures you’ve created, what are your favourites? Also, outside of your own adventures, do you have a favourite by someone else that you like to run?
