Both Wild Beyond the Witchlight and Baldur's Gate use a 5 part structure of 3 open sandboxes, linked by multiple choice funnels, framed by an intro and conclusion for story cohesion. Richard Pett and I use the same structure in Fury of the Forsaken. It's a great scaffolding for #TTRPG adventure s.

A conversation elsewhere yesterday had me thinking about structure in #TTRPG adventure design. I decided to look at a WotC hardcover, a video game, and one of my own publications to discuss a structure I particular enjoy:

In 2012, I began work on what became the Thrones & Bones setting, used 1st in 3 children's novels, and then in some 13 #TTRPG products (not for kids) that focused on the Scandinavian-inspred area of the world. Countries of Katernia (1 of 3 books) is a system-neutral setting guide to the whole place.

Fantasy author Chris Willrich just played a mashup of my own adventure "The Aptrgangr's Challenge," intended for the Scandinavian-themed Norrøngard campaign setting and the fan-made Star Trek RPG, Where No Man Has Gone Before. The result works better than it has any right to.

The Tome Show sat down with @whatdoiknowjr.bsky.social and @slyflourish.com to look at @koboldpress.com's Tales of the Valiant. What I didn't expect was so many kind shoutouts to my own ToV products in the Thrones & Bones line. It's a really good discussion though (even omitting that). Check it out:

Although the PCs have not been there yet, to the south of the main play area (so far) of The 13th Icon lies Bense and a version of the Scandinavian world that Lou has built. I read through his work some months ago and was impressed and wanted to lift parts of it for my game world

I finished watching #StarTrek Enterprise S3 last night. I'm glad I stuck with the show. It took a long while and the sexism threw me out more than once, but it finally got good this season. T'Pol and Hoshi both had strong moments. I loved seeing the mounting destruction of the ship. Eager for S4.

Norrøngard is sometimes shorthanded as a "Viking setting" but that's not really true. It's a Scandinavian setting set in a land that is a generation or two past its Viking period, learning to adjust their values and interact with a wider world (with inevitable pockets of pushback). #TTRPG

Amazing deal if you’ve never checked out Lou’s campaign setting before. He and his collaborators did some fantastic work on these.
