NICE MEDAL! I like that you're talking about Shadowdark; your ideas on converting are good. Thanks man.

I'm shocked you don't have a bigger channel. I always enjoy your content and your delivery so much.

Love the channel. Keep pumping out the vids!

Haha! To the Abyss with the Litmus Test, I want the Owlbear Test! The only test I trust from now on.

Totally agree that Spellburn (and some other aspects of DCC magic) can get unfun when in the wrong hands / situation. Like it can get gamed to not be terrifying and chaotic, but weirdly safe.

Doom of the Savage Kings and the Emerald Enchanter two of my fave DCC models and easy to convert for SD. Though one of those 'cranked to 11' adventures, The Court of Chaos I had a blast running. And Lankhmar is perfect OSR atmosphere.

Court of Chaos is still on my list of adventures I need to run!

Regarding the audio, there's a moment around 1:04 where you rotated the mic, and for a brief moment, it sounded much clearer/louder. Some mics are unidirectional, and it's important that they're pointed the right direction. I have to turn my audio to max to hear you in your videos. I'm happy to do so, even though I often forget to turn it back down, then get startled the next time I play a video and it's deafening. But maybe that's a feature, not a bug. 😁

So in the early part of the pandemic I sort of made it a quest to finish all the DCC modules I had on my shelves. I had finished around 40 at the time. At one point I had two weekly campaigns going.

Watch for Humble Bundles from Goodman. I've purchased two now and gotten 100+ modules plus the core books for like $50. It is an incredible bargain for less than one new D&D Witches of the Shoreline.

Good timing, I’ve been wanting to dip my toes into the DCC modules.

Thank you! My only claim to fame is that I ran so many of these damned things!

Great recommendations! We just finished Savage Kings with DCC. I'm planning on attempting Moon-Slaves of the Cannibal Kingdom with shadowdark. Have you found a overall conversion pattern you follow? Ive been thinking something like just keeping the stats in the module but reducing AC, DC, and Incoming damage to players by 1-2 depending on how high it is.

Probably? The only reason I don't really know is that I've been more inspired to write my own stuff for Shadowdark, rather than to run published modules.
