Playwright wanted. Need to make a Radio Drama
« on: April 25, 2012, 08:19:33 am »
I have to produce a radio drama in the upcoming weeks. As for the topic, I have a free choice, so I thought why not pick a story written by Dwarf Fortress. Length: 5-15 minutes

Maybe there is somebody among you who is a good playwright and could write the script for the drama?

Can you elaborate on this a little more?

A radio drama needs to be written as a script first. You have to know which actor will say which line at which time. Also, what backgound noises should be heard and where which interaction will take place (from that you deduct the appropriate atmo sound). All that. Is there somebody who would like to write such a script?

Well there is of course the famous story of Boatmurdered, which can be found here: http://lparchive.org/Dwarf-Fortress-Boatmurdered/Introduction/

or downloaded here: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=4120

there used to be a bunch of stories with scripts on the wiki, but those seem to have disapeared. still, though, I hope this helps.

How about the Tale of Tholtig Cryptbrain, or that of Cacame Apebalded? Two mighty dwarven monarchs. Or maybe the original Urist (story's name: One Dwarf Against the World).
