The Dramatic Conversion Manual


[In response to a comment John Kuner made to me about how much better the session summaries read, as compared to what went on at the sessions themselves.]

It reads more dramatic because I splice out all the pauses for dice rolling and rule lookups. Plus I use the Storyguide Conversion Manual:

Player:				Character:

"Oh, fuck.  Giants. 		Blorg of Shorkyne's eyes widen in terror
 We're dead."			 at the hulking horrors fast approaching him.

"Shit, shit, shit, botch."	Slippery with his foe's lifeblood,
				 Blorg curses as his hands slide on the hilt 
				 of his broadsword.

"ahh, uhmmm, fuck."		Blorg hesitates, paralyzed with indecision.

"This fucker is *meat.*"	His eyes narrow with fury as Blorg of
				 Shorkyne presses forward, bloody blade
				 rising and falling with manic intensity.

"Oh mother-FUCKER!!!"		"...must," hisses Blorg through a froth of
				 blood as he slips to the ground, trans-
				 fixed by his opponent's spear.

"Ack."				He spasms, claws futilely at the shaft,
				 and dies.

See how easy that is? ;)
