When the new publication comes out ?? Any progress ? It’s a good adventure format I think. Did you considered adding a FlowChart or other graph type to summarize all possibles scenarios ?

It all sounds good. I need to try this concept again and implement some of the suggestions you all took the time to make.

I’ll make a version 2.0 soon…

I think it sounds great, but I still don’t see the need for 2 PDF’s and 2 Videos. I think a single bullet style PDF with the adventure essentials with a companion “How To…” video is all that is needed. My idea is that the PDF is a stand alone item. There’s no need to reiterate what is on the PDF in the video. Rather, the video would be a tool for those DM’s that have the time to really add some flavor to the adventure (and I’m talking specific ideas). If you want an adventure presentation, I hate to say this cause I’ll probably be hanged, but maybe Power Point is a better option. You could map out the scenes, the key players, and even have a simple timeline for the scenes.

How’s that sound?

You know… You might have solved my 2 problems!!!

1- DM needs to watch the video and be good to go. So we need a bullet-list style of pdf

2- Video is a great way to suggest ways to run the game and share the vision of GMing and the adventure itself. So we need a full-fledged adventure document.

So we have 2 pdf files (or 1 pdf with 2 sections) and 2 videos. Depending on what you feel is important and what your Dming style is you could drop the prep time to 20 minutes (with the bullet list and overview video) or you could spend about 1 hour and read the adventure and then watch a “How to make this scenario better” video.

What do you think?
