For anyone paying attention, I have been running a weekly game of Dungeon World on Roll20 (via Hangouts). It is my conversion of 1st ed. Temple of Elemental Evil. We have had four sessions so far, which have encompassed my own “module,” T0: Remnants of Elemental Evil. Starting next week we head into my conversion of T1: The Village of Hommlett.
This will be pretty interesting. For starters, the 1st ed. ToEE is fucking awful. I should get some sort of prize for reading 100+ pages of this dreck. We owe Gary Gygax for a lot, but succinct, elegant prose is not one of those things. There is also the fact that old school game design meant calling out every damn detail of every damn location. It is enough to put you to sleep (and, in fact, I have nodded off more than once throughout this process). When it is all said and done, my Dungeon World conversion (minus my T0) will be less than 10 pages.
All that said, we’re having great fun. The players are doing a terrific job (Derek Grimm Ferrell Riley Eddy Gonzalez Sean Smith ). Ferrell has even created a set of campaign notes, which will be fun to reference later. I can’t wait to see how things go once we start ToEE proper next week!
It has been a blast so far!
