Looking for suggestions for a home brew/world building tool to use with Blades in the Dark in under one hour?

Design Diary: The Between 03

Design Diary: The Between 03

Today on The Gauntlet Blog, I have the third entry of my Design Diary series about my in-development game The Between. In this entry, I talk about the development of the Overscene, one of the most distinctive (and novel) elements of my game.

I was listening to the Fear of a Black Dragon episode for DCC’s #67 Sailors on the Starless Sea and planned on running it as a Funnel World one-shot this week. Then I thought, I wonder if I could skin SSS with Ray Otus’ Sinister Solstice? Some hours later, I made an adventure starter for this hybrid idea.

Some assumptions and changes I made to the original sources:

– This adventure starter assumes the GM is familiar with DCC Sailors on the Starless Sea funnel adventure, YMMV.

– I jump start the villagers to be already sneaking into Kringle’s Keep via a collapsed wall, rather than give them the option of how to enter the keep. This is a time saving measure.

– The beastmen have been re-skinned as ice elves, slaving away under the direction of the Clockwork Knight (replacing the Champion ambush).

– I kept the Well of Souls and gave it a custom move since it seemed to fit for both sources.

– The Tar Ooze almost became a Christmas Pudding, but since this is for a one-shot I decided not to include this side room to help w/ pacing.

– The goodies normally found in the Courtyard and Chapel should be left out in the Courtyard as part of many long tables where ice elves are making things.

– However the villagers make it past the Clockwork Knight, once underground they find a Hall of Wreaths, where the pool of water w/ floating skulls is replaced with a trough of iridescent coals, which will function the same as the skulls did.

– The golden censor w/ incense can be found in the Hall of Wreaths also, to help keep things more obvious for pacing to the end of the story.

– The Dragon Ship is skinned as a mystical wooden sleigh, and the Leviathan lives in an eerily creaking icy sea.

– The island becomes a Temple of Krampus, with Lord Kringle (an ice elf shaman) performing the ritual sacrifice of the villagers. Villagers should be pushed off a ledge into an icy water pit to be drowned one by one.

– If Lord Kringle throws the effigy into the water then the Krampus appears to torture, tease, and drown everyone.

I will run this on Thursday, so any comments/suggestions for a one-shot run of this are welcome.

Anybody have any experience with Vincent Baker’s beta of “Freebooting Venus”?

Anybody have any experience with Vincent Baker’s beta of “Freebooting Venus”? My group is three sessions in. The first session using the first set of rules, the second and third using the revised rules. The game is very unfinished, but we are having a really good time with it. The thing is, I can’t figure out exactly why. Anybody have any thoughts or experiences with it they would like to share and discuss? I love the treasure mechanic, I like the unpredictable magic effects, I enjoy the estate building. Haven’t gotten into the mercantile stuff, but that looks interesting.

In the newest episode of The Merry Abattoir, the party arrives at the wretched, villainous town of Eingeweide.

Thanks so much to the players in this series: Chris Wiegand Gerrit Reininghaus Maria Rivera and Fraser Simons. Extra special thanks to Fraser for producing the show!

Enjoy!

I’m running my first World of Dungeons game tonight (as a holiday special one-off).

I’m running my first World of Dungeons game tonight (as a holiday special one-off). I’m very comfortable at improv and asking questions, but coming in general from more trad OSR/D&D style games (my players too), is there something i should watch out for? I’m wondering about turn and initiative-less combat for example.
