Tom McGrenery and I are pleased to present the newest episode of Fear of a Black Dragon!

Tom McGrenery and I are pleased to present the newest episode of Fear of a Black Dragon!

Tom McGrenery and I are pleased to present the newest episode of Fear of a Black Dragon! Our focus for this one is an adventure called “Into the Fire,” which was featured in the very first issue of Dungeon Magazine back in 1986.

This is a very important episode because Tom and I begin talking about how to convert old school modules to World of Dungeons, our system of choice on FoaBD. As such, the episode is a bit longer than normal and the timecodes are much more detailed. I think you’re going to find there is a lot of really valuable information here (and we also just have a lot of fun talking about the peccadillos of this particular module).

If you want to see how our version of Into the Fire played out, the YT playlist can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL26DVDSsqVz4MlXSz2RCs_pbgsD0f62NY

Enjoy!

Episode 53 of Discern Realities is here!

This episode is a little longer than usual, but the conversations are nice and in-depth. Here is what is in this episode:

I reflect on the We Hunt the Keepers! DW campaign; we take a look at Ray Otus’s Plundergrounds #5; we go in deep on how to handle a miss on Cast a Spell, and the thematic considerations for both Wizard and Cleric versions of the move; we read two contest entries: The Orphan’s Kiss and The Joyous Pit (text for each is on the website); and we continue our AP of the story of St. Evelyn the White.

Enjoy!

Fear of a Black Dragon – Into the Fire raw recording

Fear of a Black Dragon – Into the Fire raw recording

Fear of a Black Dragon – Into the Fire raw recording

This is the YouTube video from our latest recording of Fear of a Black Dragon. I’m making it public for a couple reasons: 1) it’s a really solid episode, pretty funny at times, and with lots of interesting advice (Cc: Chris Shorb, from his earlier thread); 2) It is sometimes nice to be reminded what the podcast hosts look like and to get a sense of our creative process, because making a podcast is an intensely creative process.

In this video, you’re just seeing the middle part, where we actually sit down and record, but there is an extensive (and time-consuming) preparation part that we engage in on FoaBD. We have to read and/or run the module, we have to brainstorm the topics we want to engage with, and then we have to write down the scripted bits. This video lets you see how Tom McGrenery and I work together, how we incorporate all that pre-recording planning into the episode, and, by its absence, the work Paul Edson does in production to shape it all up.

It’s a fun watch! Check it out!
