I’m working on a tag-based campaign system for Dungeon World inspired by Stars Without Number.

1. They are one possible set of RIGHT tags. 🙂

2.  Hmm… There’s a few for my game that seem to be missing. That may be because they don’t match the style you’re looking for. Your tags seem to be very focused on mystical weirdness (which is awesome).

   I’d add some stuff like:

   Armed camp.

   Poverty stricken village.

   Corrupt guildhall.

   Trading outpost.

3. Nice, nice. I rolled a few random pairs: lost city in a blasted desert, elven refuge with an entombed horror, haunted ruins in a glacial rift. Seems solidly playable to me! But, yeah, there’s a lot of potential for setting-creation here in what you include and what you don’t include. Like for a war-torn world: “Carrion-strewn battlefield” “army camp” “besieged village”, etc.

4. Oooo…cool! I definitely like the idea of list of nodes as campaign setting. Kind of like an even lighter version of Transmissions from Technoir.

5. Okay, I like this… have you seen the stuff in Red Tide/AER?  Perhaps a bit less out there and WONDERFUL for setting creation. 

6. We clearly need mix-and-match Oracles, IAWA style.

7. To any question of the form “Is this a good X?” my counter-question is always “What are you trying to achieve with X?” Otherwise I am unable to judge. It is an interesting list, but many such lists are possible.

8. Great idea!

9. Great words! I had somehow completely forgotten to include the whole military angle.

10. Tony– with a few additions and a little bit of fiddling, you could turn this into a list of combinations of adjective + location: Wizard’s City, Elven Temple, etc.
