Hello guys and gals,

There seems to be a severe lack of Adventure Mode Let's Plays on YouTube-- the only truly successful ones I've come across are by jefmajor, which are fantastic.  Since, in my opinion, adventure mode LPs have a TON of potential, we should go about attempting to fill this void!  How you ask?  By creating some sort of ridiculous Adventure Mode succession of sorts!

I've never done this kind of thing before, so suggestions on how exactly to structure this would be fantastic.  However, I've already taken a crack at a few LPs, and I'll proceed to stick them down below   Feel free to post any LPs you've created until some kinda formal structure is established.  If things take off, we can even have a voting system and compile a list of some truly epic LPs for everyone to enjoy, hehe.


Here are my submissions:
The Horrible Tale of Ilre Hornbreakfast
Sath Moistnessfancies the Chunkonator, Part 1
Sath Moistnessfancies the Chunkonator, Part 2
Lelgo Latherwipes, Hurler of Large Objects
Lecit, Son of Lelgo (Part 1)
Lecit, Son of Lelgo (Part 2)

Tell me what you think, I enjoyed making these and plan on making more (I'm keeping this list entirely updated).  I'm relatively inexperienced at LPing, so constructive criticism is more than welcome.

Note: the first one is stupidly zoomed out, but it's corrected by the next LP.

I greatly modified the original post-- this is now yer standard succession thread, see?  I also added an additional LP, to which I'm currently uploading the second half.  Hehe.

I'd love to help you with this, but I get very little time to record, and I'm having a bug where I can't load adventure mode saves.

No big, I think I'm underestimating how difficult it is to actually be in a position to record a DF LP

• Gotta have a decent computer
• Gotta have a decent microphone
• Gotta have Fraps and properly configured graphics for DF
• Gotta look good on camera!

Anyhow, if you manage to get in a position to record, don't hesitate to do so and post whatever you make, epicness will surely ensue.

Just so everyone knows, if you want to record an LP, I strongly recommend using Fraps.  To get DF working with it, however, you'll need to open data/init/init.txt and change "[PRINT_MODE:2D]" to "[PRINT_MODE:STANDARD]".  All this does is swap from something like SDL graphics to OpenGL graphics, which will make no noticeable impact other than allowing you to use Fraps with DF

Oh, thanks! I'll try to get one done and uploaded soon enough, then.

Just began an entire, lengthy series for my most recent adventurer: Lecit Latherwipes, son of Lelgo, Hurler of Large Objects!  I also abandoned Movie Maker in favor of Adobe Premiere, and the sound quality is markedly improved (the video quality's a tad better as well.)  It's about time I made the transition XD

Does nobody else wanna make an LP?!  Geez, I feel all alone... like a solitary eagle... that has yet to be beaten to death by a companion.
