My project is a recorded game of Dungeons and Dragons turned into a video format. My goal is creating something people would watch as well as listen to, that also wouldn’t require more than a handful of people should I pursue this further.
This project is a merger of my interests I’ve developed in college, drawing and D&D. This would also serve as a way for me to expand my artistic abilities. This project would be different than other D&D related projects because no one has added visual elements to the entire podcast without animating it. It extents knowledge by allow me to experiment with mixing visual art with the audio story.
I am going to use Audacity to edit the audio and Photoshop to create the artwork. I won’t have prototypes, but I will have reference sheets for before the recording. I’m also going to get music and sound effects to add in post. For the actual game itself, I’m going to use Dungeon World to cut down on the gameplay Jargon as much as possible. I’ll go into how Dungeon World is different in detail in a later post, but for now imagine the rules of typical D&D like cooking with a cook book and Dungeon World like making a sandwich.
Research
I’m going watch a ton of art and audacity tutorials. Also, I’m going to get good microphones from the cage. Finally, I’m going to read up on how to speak as clearly as possible.
