I rate every room in White Plume Mountain (X out of 5 Stars) and explain why each room does, or does not, work and how you can take these lessons into designing your own dungeons, be they of the funhouse variety or not

Yes; Doyce and I have had good luck doing this with Ironsworn/Starforged.
The rules have been useful, but the extensive oracles have been incredible - just really gets the creative juices flowing.
It’s like the crit/fumble/spell tables from Dungeon Crawl Classics on steroids.
If you are looking for a game to run with a couple of forever-GMs that reliably facilitates truly interesting twists with low-ish prep time, I have been very much been enjoying co-run/playing Ironsworn Starforged with @doyce.bsky.social .
Have you found any solutions?
Reading a 2025 romantasy book out loud to my wife. 80% of the sentences I can perform no problem, but some are truly challenging. *Many* unusual verb/metaphor combos. A lot of unattributed dialog that I have to go back and re-voice. Very fun overall, only a few times when I have been 🙄.
I mean, high school lit trauma is real. I still have nightmares about Clockwork Orange. But Gatsby is particularly culturally pervasive…
Um……
Yeah, I found the constant upgrade nagging and limitations unusable
I think it is mainly because it is very expensive compared to…free. 😅
I am glad you are thinking about these things. FWIW, I always ship comeuppance harder than romance. 🤘🏻

Angela was entirely amazing in this episode. Loved seeing Jacob and Kurt have to keep up.
I’ve also run it twice, and agree with all criticisms! I ended up printing several pages of the PDF more than once to make reference at the table easier. I love the ending and may of the encounters, and really love the vibe, but some things are just…too much.
The best part is the people who think that paying GMs is a betrayal of the hobby, but when asked if they want to GM, say “too much work”. 😭

Nice! After this we need a 7th level adventure to fill in the gap!

Just had this happen this morning. Grr.
🤘🏻wishlisted!
One where I definitely had to switch the channel and the back again when watching it on PBS as a youth. Very intense, and as you say, felt extra scary that the Doctor’s choices were “bad”

Loved this episode! Hollywood Ho!
Lend a hand to the Purple Man! Seriously, Purple Sorcerer makes DCC prep so easy. Now is a great time to support!

Seems like in the modern era all you have to do is own it
