I've been thinking about attempting to make some prints using the Van Dyke Brown process and I'm curious if I could make it work using paper negatives. Any opinions?

It certainly does work. Put the paper with the image side down on the VDB emulsion and expect long(er) exposure times.

Thanks for the responses. Will I need super high-contrast paper negatives?
