Dan and Paul are back at it again, creating an entire D&D adventure in just one hour! Armed with only their D&D source books, Matt Finch's excellent Tome of Adventure Design, and the input from live viewers, they'll create a fully stocked and playable D&D dungeon adventure right in front of your eyes. Once it's complete, adventure WDM05 will be posted on DriveThruRPG and free copies distributed to all our faithful patrons!
Dan and Paul chat with Matt Finch, the ENNIE-award winning designer of the Swords & Wizardry game, and who also created OSRIC, and the Quick Primer for Old School Gaming. Plus he made our favorite Tome of Adventure Design, as seen in use in the Wandering DMs Dungeon Design Dashes. Next up on Kickstarter is Matt's Tome of Wordbuilding Design. Is this just in time for all our fantasy worldbuilding needs? The Tome of World Building is written by ENNIE-award winning author Matt Finch, author of the critically-acclaimed Tome of Adventure Design. Using the Tome of World Building, you can create fantasy worlds quickly and fill them out with a wealth of detail from the random-generation tables in this book. This Kickstarter offers two high quality hardcover books to create a trilogy of creative power with the Tome of Adventure Design. The first is the Tome of World Building, allowing you to create maps, cultures, countries, wilderness regions, and all the history and backstabbing politics of a fantasy world. The second is the Nomicon, with tables to invent fantasy names for everything you'll generate using the Tome of World Building. Back Matt Finch's Tome of Worldbuilding on Kickstarter here

Matt Finch is one of the fundamental figures of the OSR style of TTRPG, his works include OSRIC, Swords & Wizardry, the magnificent Tome of Adventure Design, and the super influential Quick Primer for Old School Gaming (among many other things). He is also the founder of Mythmere Games and is constantly making more and more excellent gaming material! It's hard for me to put into words what Mark's work means to me. I don't know if my work would ever be the same without his. The Quick Primer for Old School Gaming, even though meant to help you play games inspired by the first editions of D&D, the document defined a style of play that is not really system dependent, and thus serves as a Game Design framework to design Old-School style games, without necessarily having to use old D&D-like systems. Well, at least that's how I've been using it! But that is just one of the many incredible things he made and that I adore, and in this chat we got to talk a little bit about all of them. We chatted about what the OSR is for us, why we like it so much, how it is based on open-ended situations and improvisation, future projects, greek mythology, adventure design, and so many other things. It was a great chat and even though we talked about so many weirdly wonderful things in a little over 1 hour and a half, when we were finished I felt I could have asked so many more questions and get som many more wisdom from Matt that now I want a "Matt Finch Returns" episode someday.

3.36 Today, Zac Goins of World of Game Design joins me. He is a mucky- muck for that company (which means I forgot his job title.) Zac has a long history with writing and Kickstarting RPG products. He now runs organized pay for WoGD at more convention than seems humanly possible. We have a four act structure for this podcast, check the Zoom summary in the show notes if you are inclined. Deadines are pressing on me. Sisters and brothers, it is time to get rambling. ———————————————————————————————— Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/RPG_Ramblings ———————————————————————————————— ———————————————————————————————— Jeff Jones Twitter: @I_Am_Jeffrey Itch.io: https://jeffrey-a-jones.itch.io DriveThru: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Jeffrey%20A%20Jones ============= Zoom Summary ============= Quick recap Jeff and Zac had a wide-ranging discussion about various topics. They touched upon an AI feature that could summarize their discussions, the influence of the holiday season on workplace motivation, and the differences between Fifth Edition and Old School Essentials in role-playing games. They also discussed the complexities of designing balanced monsters for high-level play in a game, the mechanics of a tactical game, the evolution of a game, project management, and diversifying their sales channels. They also reflected on a recent gaming event, emphasizing the evolving inclusivity and acceptance in the gaming community. Summary Jeff and Zac discussed an AI feature that could summarize their discussions. They also touched upon running con adventures, the topic of GA 4, and a comparison between D&D and OSE. The influence of the holiday season on workplace motivation was discussed, with Jeff sharing an anecdote about an unfamiliarity with American holidays. Jeff then shifted the conversation to their projects. A discussion about the differences between Fifth Edition and Old School Essentials (OSE) in role-playing games ensued, with Jeff noting the increased importance of killing monsters when treasure types are removed, and Zac emphasizing the shift of focus towards story milestones. The challenges of converting games from one system to another were also discussed. OSE and 5E - Radically Different Design sensibilities Designing Balanced Monsters for High-Level Play Zac and Jeff had a detailed discussion about the complexity of designing balanced monsters for high-level play in a game. They highlighted the challenge of designing monsters that could neutralize half the party members without making them too powerful. They also discussed the intricacies of running a creature, the various types of damage dealt, and the difficulties in translating these from one game system to another. The conversation also touched on the impact of game design and terminology on the player experience and the difficulty of crafting epic stories during gameplay. They ended the discussion with a debate on the nature of tactical games and the potential compromise to the tactical experience if a character starts as a hero. Tactical Game Mechanics and D20 System Discussion Zac and Jeff engaged in a detailed conversation about the mechanics of a tactical game, specifically focusing on the impact of damage and the potential for players to deal damage even when missing their target. They also discussed the potential frustrations players can experience when using the D20 system. Zac expressed skepticism about a proposed solution to these issues, while Jeff was interested in exploring alternatives. They also touched on the potential of Matt Colville's game, despite not being keen on playing it themselves. The discussion concluded on the benefits of different celebrity entertainers in the space shifting from D&D to other systems, as it opens up the audience to experience other ways of addressing game play issues. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeffrey-jones6/message

Welcome RPG Ramblings with Jeff Jones. This is a weekly show exploring the various details of the TableTop RPG hobby through discussions with interesting people. Except this week I don't have any guests. I planned to connect with two people this week, but my vacation threw off my groove more than I anticipated. Friday, the day before I normally drop an episode, I was empty-handed, having failed the most basic task of scheduling a guest. Then the idea hit me. Why not have episodes on adventure creation sprinkled in with my regular episodes? Just to be clear, I have very little experience in writing adventures. By little I mean, I wrote one. Saying it was mediocre is being generous. But I will not let ignorance impede my hubris. It is not enough to write an adventure, it must be worthy of publishing. That is the goal of this series, to come up with an idea and see it all the way through the process. But, I will not do it alone. I will get help from guests and from you, the listeners, because when it comes to adventure writing, I only have questions. I have no idea the direction this series will take, it is as much of a mystery for me as it is for you. Don't worry folks, this is not supplanting the normal RPG Ramblings podcasts…..I will be jumping back and forth. It is seven thirty, Saturday morning. Adventure awaits. Sisters and Brothers, it is time to get rambling. --- Locations/Titles Poisoned Forest of the Snake beast Monastery of the Moon Beast Pulsing Crypt of the Crocodile God Dimensional Monolith of the Mad Idol Decomposing Stronghold of the Sabertooth Society Locations Awakening- Webs Time- Rooms Slime- Kiln Mutation- Organs Feeding Kennels Flesh- Boxes Gate- Machine Missions Bribe or negotiate with Intelligent monster Explore Swamp Sabotage Religious item Smuggle Evidence of crime Explore Ruins Incriminate or frame Illusionist --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeffrey-jones6/message

Dan & Paul chat with Matt Finch, creator of Swords & Wizardry, about his Revised Tome of Adventure Design! Tome of Adventure Design is a comprehensive, start-to-finish resource for designing fantasy adventures for your favorite tabletop role-playing game. It is system neutral, and can be used with virtually any fantasy game. This book includes random generation tables for almost every step of the design process: locations, villainous plots, designing new monsters, and bizarre environments in strange, unknown planes of existence. Thousands of micro-prompts in the margins add additional brainstorming power to the process, and the book is filled with design advice from award-winning author Matt Finch. "It's over 300 pages of randomly selected jolts to the brain. In the introduction, Finch states that the point of incorporating randomness into your adventure writing is “to deliver cryptic results designed to shock the reader's creativity into filling in the gaps” … Let me emphasize his use of the word “shock” in that passage. It's perfect. The moment when two, three, or more nonsensical, fragmentary, contradictory notions gel into a coherent and fresh idea is shocking. It's revelatory. It's magical. And it's inspiring…" Steve Winter, Designer & Contributor, Dungeons & Dragons for TSR and Wizards of the Coast Get the Revised Tome of Adventure Design hereAnd see the completed Kickstarter page here Wandering DMs Paul Siegel and Dan “Delta” Collins host thoughtful discussions on D&D and other TTRPGs every week.

Welcome to Gamers and Gadgets, a podcast by Models Workshop. Gamers and Gadgets is not exactly a spin off from the long running After Hours podcast but a way to explore more aspects of the hobby than miniature painting. Everyone knows Larry, the long running and long suffering front runner of the Models Workshop podcasts. Joining him in this Adventure are Marie, Chloe, and Krys (aka Mino) bringing in their experiences with games and gadgets. We strive for all things nerdy, bringing you vast geeky energy. We cover collectable card games like Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh to the world of miniatures game play from Games Workshop games like Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar to miniature painting and airbrushing. We also discuss our favorite movies, books, and music that we are excited for. Larry is a former book reviewer for The Founding Fields and enjoys listening to many podcasts while driving down the road. Marie is a wiz on 3d printers, both filament and resin, has a love of print and play and solo play games, and has been running various role playing games from Dungeons and Dragons to Pathfinder plus many other independent systems for years. Chloe is a miniature painter and MTG alterist. Krystopher is Larry's long time friend from the MMO RPG video game City of Villains. As a whole we just enjoy sitting back and discussing what we have been doing, the various Kickstarters that hit the market and to the guests we bring on the show. So sit back and get your nerdon, and remember…. rawr Song: Chime & MDK - Arcade Dwellers [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://NCS.io/ArcadeDwellers Watch: http://youtu.be/FZ1Bl0Mk5uA

This week Vince and Nick are joined by Sal of the Brainstorm podcast, as they talk about adventure design, the most requested topic via email
Adventure Design as Technology Recorded at Metatopia 2014 Presented by Cam Banks & Rob Donoghue. We started with a map and a key. There have been structural improvements since then: boxed text, wandering monsters, plot point adventures, hard and soft points, personality-driven dungeons, mad libs plots and many more. This process has not been rigors, so the spread of these ideas has been haphazard and without the thought that’s gone into rules improvements. That is a shame. Take some time to talk about these technologies and how they can help you make better adventures. Episode 42: Adventure Design as Technology Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (235)
