I’m most likely finishing my Dungeon World Death Frost Doom (DFD) campaign tomorrow night and am reading Scenic Dunnsmouth (SD) now. I have an idea that I want to run past you and see if anyone has tried it, and maybe get some help developing it. Its main inspiration is Jason Cordova’s Keeper campaign, which featured multiple but different “Lord Caspian Gaul” balls.
The Time Cube (in SD) is made up of hundreds of thousands of the crude snow-globes which are the tiny experimental universes suspended in liquid time (Shrine room 11 in DFD). The cube can still have (mostly) the same time-dilation effect, but touching one of the globes causes you to trade places with a character from another universe.
Two things to note:
1) I have 10 players wanting to play, so I’m going to have 3 separate groups in alternate universes crossing over into each other’s games. That’s the main reason I want to go with SD because it will lessen my work load (I hope anyway) by simply generating (actually hand-picking) three different versions of the village. The DFD globes just really cemented the idea in my head.
2) I’m imagining a Star Trek: The Next Generation “All Good Things” finale, where the groups from all three universes have to converge at the same time to destroy the time cube, which may or may not trap characters in the “wrong” universe.
This MAY be biting off more than I can chew… Any thoughts?
I like it. Find the right players and it’s good to go.

Maezar, I’ve run games for 8 of the 10 players (3 are my home group). I’m worried about the other 2 though (but only because I’ve never run games for them before). 1 of them has never played DW before…

It’s not about how serious or experienced they are, but how interested they are in participating. You can drive that up with a nice buildup. Tell them how special the sessions are going to be!

They’re already on board 🙂 I actually think I have two sessions of DFD left but that group wants to rush then ending so we can start the other campaign LOL
